    Yeah they’re lovely bodies, let me know if you want me to send it down 😉

    Already posted on the main thread under NSSBD. So far absolutely delighted. Next, purchase some real Short Scale Strings from Newtone.

    Yes, that's a key point to note re. the U4s that they are mono transmitters. Our lovely, and very capable, little desk has 6 monitor outputs, not quite enough for us to go down the stereo route which would require 4 x 2 = 8 monitor outs for our 4 piece set up. Has going stereo really improved your gigging experience, Woody? If so, maybe something for me to consider for my crew down the line at some point! Is the U45 a decent step up from the U4 for you? I note that it's a 5.8 GHz, whereas the U4 is on the more crowded 2.4 GHz. "The Xvive U45 is a significant upgrade to the U4, mainly moving to the less crowded 5.8 GHz band for better interference resistance, adding USB-C charging, an auto-scan feature to find clear channels, and minor physical improvements like stiffer knobs for durability, making it a highly recommended buy for new users despite a small price increase. While the U4 is a good budget system, the U45 offers more reliability, especially in crowded venues, through its improved tech and dedicated channel scanning." Hmmm...does sound good! Not come across too many wireless IEM transmitters in the 5.8 GHz space?

    Selling my G&L L2000 USA. It has a few small scratches and there is a paint chip on one of the horns, but otherwise it is a really nice looking bass for a twenty year old instrument. You will not be disappointed by the tonal options you can dial in on this bass. It is literally the Swiss army knife of basses. I have included the Hiscox flight case in the sale. Collection preferred/ can meet up within reasonable distance.

    These basses have gone way under the radar. I will share my thoughts when it arrives

    Ashdown put the Capri on the hot wash and shrunk it a bit. 23" scale now https://ashdownmusic.com/collections/basses-22/products/roasted-capri-23

    Put some tort on it 👍 seriously … im Not aesthetically-minded generally but it would have to be a sonically-amazing example of that model for me to overlook it.

    Mostly it isn't the sound guy based on the antics of primadonna (inexperienced) bands that I've seen. We played a local pub 'festival' for several years, the last one the local 'famous' band had been relegated to support. Speaking to the sound guy (line up organiser), he was less than complimentary about them, their lack of professionalism and level of expectation. He said he'd put us as headliners as we just "got on stage and played". It was quite painful listening to band after band "soundcheck" throughout the day. We should remember that the sound guy is often the person who will report back to the venue organiser and recommend whether a band comes back and plays a more popular night, or never returns. There are more bands than venues.

    Depends what the other issues are. The wood grain in the top wouldn’t bother me at all, but if you’ve had two basses each with problems I’d be more concerned about deciding whether those are acceptable.

    Cut a suitable pick-guard (scratch plate...) to shape; black, maybe. It'll hide any mis-match. Problem solved.

    I once spent £250 on a pickguard and it wasn't quite that nice. Of course it came with a free bass

    Origin Super Vintage does a better SVT, especially the drive side of things, the Broughton Effects SV-Pre is also a better SVT drive and matches your needs perfectly I think if you’re just running it into an amp - you can pick them up pretty cheap used and they’re excellent

    John is a real gent. Travelled all the way down to purchase a bass cabinet. Great communication. 100 percent trustworthy guy. Would highly recommend!

    I'd also say that any business where the clientele age averages more than 65 is on the slide without new blood anyway...

    Ooooo, yer all posh: for a good while (maybe 30 gigs?) I've been using a pair of £62 Lekato MS-02s - super light, tiny and handy, battery lasts hours (never got down to even half the charge lights on them with 4-hour gigs (start to finish)), 5ms latency, no dropouts and even a stereo option that, as mentioned above, I've never got to use...you'll need an XLR to 3.5mm jack adaptor, but that's it...

    I agree with you on a fair amount of the above. To me the game changer came with the introduction of the Specials and the Shorty. I use a Darkray and an EBMM shorty on gigs, both have great tone and are 8.5 and 7.5lb respectively
  26. Brian18242
    The price point is really good but so little online about them. I pulled the trigger and ordered one 😜

    Agreed - my favourite gigging bass case!

    That top shouts a routed (slap) pop spacing between the neck and the neck pickup. If you add a ramp between pickups, everything's fine.

    Congrats. Bear in mind this can be a rabbit hole.....I started off with a second hand Mikey Way Squier Mustang and I've ended up with, what I consider to be, 2 expensive shorties. So the journey has involved money, but I got there in the end and the shorties take 90% of the gigs these days.

    'Blade' used to be a top quality Japanese manufacturer but I'd be surprised if this is the exact same outfit even though the name and logo look the same.
