    No, they already have all the Mordor you need at just the turn of a dial 😄

    I haven't enough grey cells to remember an arrangement like that!! Great playing and very melodic, which makes a change from the usual technical slap fest.

    Not so sure about parting with it.. But I'm reorganizing my gear and for my current needs, I'm not using this instrument at the moment as I also have other 5 string jazz style instruments. I might consider a trade, or exchange, for a different instrument, maybe something more modern, or 4 or 5 strings.. with active preamp This Olinto is a sensational instrument, maybe the best passive jazz 5 I've ever tried.. a very woody and organic voice.. it doesn't sound like the typical maple fretboard instrument.. it sounds very 60's.. it even has a sound that seems older than my 66 jazz!! As for the characteristics of the instrument: Olinto J5, Production year 2023 body: alder maple neck, birdseye maple fingerboard, custom Mas Hino hand wound pickups 34" scale Carbonetti Sunburst nitro finish hipshot hardware weight around 4kg original hard case available a spare white perloid pickguard Other pics and samples available on request price for a new one, around 5200$ plus shipping, plus taxes I set a trade value of 4800€, open to discuss depending on the offers no issues on the bass.. really near mint conditions

    wow what bargains. The natural finish look gorgeous. I wish I was playing bass when bargains like this was to be had. I bet the ash body and maple neck sound great for finger style percussive playing.

    Our duo use RCF 310's as our only PA. I've posted here about them a couple of times but it was last weekend's PA. We are pretty loud as a duo up with the levels of a few full bands. This gig was in an old converted cinema so a big barn of a place. We were pretty loud and the sound was really good, vocals especially but drums (programmed) and bass also loud and clear. The difference between the 310 and the 710's is that the 710's use a better mid/bass unit. With the 310's being so capable I don't think you will have an issue with bass and kick with your band. Let us know how you get on though. It might help others if you put up a link or two that I looked at, so they can get a picture of what you are doing with your 710's

    Cost of living crisis perhaps? Fashion at at time when many prefer a factory fender to a boutique beauty? That it's in Germany meaning the Brexit idiocy that you should pay 20% VAT on import... which makes it rather expensive at £4680? (My own dolphin, imported from Portugal pre Brexit, was £1800 ... though admittedly only a 4-string). Still, someone in in the EU should snap it up as they are truly beautiful basses that do everything from an amazing clear "piano like" sound to something like a gnarly Thumb. Slap rather well too.

    This is how I started my move to the end pin. Firstly, like you, I started tilting it back, then sideways and I really liked the freedom this provided. The end pin seemed an obvious move but, at £150, possibly an expensive mistake. Therefore, I tried folding the tripod legs in as a pseudo end pin. Partial proof of concept (no body support), order placed and after a lot of adjustments to get it just right, I’m super happy. Me too, I should make more of an effort. I always like it when I play it, even if I just play the same old lines. In terms of sound, if I select the arco setting on my WAV and put a big smiley face eq curve on it, it’s not a bad sound at all. Not quite my favourite DB sound (but then not all DBs give that sound), but definitely not fretless bass. I’d love to have the opportunity to play it live, with others to hear it in a mix, but it seems destined to be a just home instrument .

    The stamina required to play like this over a set is incredible. Both physical and mental! The Cory Wong gigs weren’t short either.

    Selling off a trio of Boss DD series delay pedals after a bit of a change up. Simple and reliable, a little wear and tear, but all in generally good condition. DD-3, DD-6 and DD-7 available. £90 (ONO) each, including postage, or message me if interested in more than one and we’ll sort a deal!

    Alright alright they're not technically flats but I got to show this to everyone now! Tapes with a nice leather pick. Smooooooooth tone!

    Might not sit nicely on a carved top though...

    Indeed. Hello 😀
  15. Muppet
    I have one too. I fitted a B string retainer and swapped the pickups for Nordstrands and it's superb.

    I've never actually used or even owned a compressor in fairness. I've surprised quite a few people in the past when I reveal that 😂
  17. Terry M.
    Very true. They don't last ever so long.

    yes I agree. Only reason I’m looking to sale mine is I’ve now got the nux mighty plug pro for home practice.

    To be honest, I'm a little excited for the livestream. I hope they announce 4.0, but I don't want to have any expectations. Let's wait and see

    I love the playability of Super Slinkys but I just kill them in a few days, really irritating as prob my fave string for comfort & playability. Sound really good too - before their imminent death of course.

    I've just stumbled across this upcoming 2025 tour of Quadrophenia. Pete Townsend's Quadrophenia - A Mod Ballet

    Thank you! I'll try to record more and cover more playing styles too! But yeah, the bass can be gentle when you want it to. In my experience, it is super responsive with my playing touch from mellow plam mutes, fingerstyle, digging in, hard slapping and even picking. I slept late last night just playing around with it and I wasn't like this when I had my first Fodera and Lakland USA lol
