  1. Past hour
  2. Extra long scale perhaps?
  3. Number of strings, or frets for that matter, doesn't influence me. I always stink:
  4. Caveman Audio BP1 Preamp - £550 Delivered in UK. In immaculate condition and boxed. Purchased from Bass Direct in September 2025. This is a superb preamp and is the fourth one I have owned but I keep struggling with the amount of pedal board space it needs. This time I am determined to downsize to a smaller board. I would consider a trade for a Jad Freer Capo with a bit of money coming my way. https://caveman-audio.com/bp1-bass-preamp/ Potential buyers are welcome to demo in Glasgow.
  5. Only the intro. Tool songs use the other strings too!
  6. I've had a response to my email now. I'm not best pleased with it really, I've basically been blamed for not noticing that the handle and feet placement had changed in the pictures on their website, and if I'd wanted it to match an older style cab then I should have specified it, despite there being no option to specify it on the website. They have offered to collect this one, and make me one to match my existing cab though, but I don't know how long that is going to take, I've waited over 10 weeks for this one. Humbug.
  7. Be interested to hear these. I've just picked up a bass with the '74s in and I love the bright mid-hi clank, but so far find them a bit lacking on the low E. Does the overwound nature give them a bit of heft down at the bottom?
  8. No need to panic. I have found G4M consistently give 2 week estimates from the date you view the product, probably in some attempt to encourage an order. I see the date has slipped 5 days from your screenshot (and here we are 5 days later). It will continue to do so I fear. I have been caught a couple of times over the years with them, assuming an item would be in stock according to their estimates but waiting months longer. I feel this is deliberately misleading the customer.
  9. If it's there, may as well use it.
  10. No we don't agree. I never said Metal is noise. I don't think it's appropriate to blare out any loud music in a guitar store where gear is tried out by potential customers. Metal is not my aesthetic choice but it's still music played by often very talented individuals.
  11. There are some metal riffs that only use the D and G strings, 46 & 2 by Tool is one that comes to mind and (I think) Bridge Burner by Mutoid Man but generally, its mostly on the E and A. Maybe its the clanky, trebley tone commonly used in metal makes the higher strings mostly unusable
  12. How did you guess that a Mazzer would be my choice if I won the Lottery? No common-as-muck Ferraris here thank you!
  13. Honestly, I get the product and what they wanted to achieve. For me, the EQ on most pedals isn’t what it needs to be for a working bass player. As for the price, if the pedal does what it claims to do and the quality is top notch, it’s not out of this world. in my opinion, if you feel the need for something like that, makes a lot of sense but if it’s not your case can be difficult. Just for curiosity, in the opinion of the people that finds it too expensive, what would be a fair price for this?
  14. Everything I Don't Like Is Rubbish, And That's A FACT.
  15. You say that, but thanks to my 16 quid I bet you turn up at the next bash in a Maserati.
  16. This is already a bargain - I paid £165 for mine second-hand and was glad to find one at that price.
  17. Thank you @Beedster I'll measure up the car boot and give it some serious thought!
  18. I think their rep had shown them some the range, but don't think they actually stock them - yet.
  19. After reviewing pricing and considering the overall condition which is frankly excellent for a 30 year old instrument, I'm conscious the look of top horn impacts this. So lowering to £1350.
  20. Don't worry folks, we're not going to do a runner with the money 🙂
  21. I like it too, it has razzmatazz.
  22. Gentlemen, can we not just agree that ALL music is terrible as are those that play ANY instrument?
  23. Come on folks, get that dosh rolling in. It's in all our interests!
