I believe they have Korean, Japanese and USA lines depending on price.

Yeah, you'd hope they've done their homework about ergonomics but it looks like neck-dive city to me at a glance. I'd like to try one but suspect they'll be out of my budget anyway.

Are you triggering samples? If so could you bake the fade-out into the sample?

It does seem neat, if you can live with only having access to 1 or 2 presets available on the fly. Definitely makes more sense to me than the HX One.

That preview works for me (using Android Firefox)...

I'll need to try this having shelled out for the full version and used it about twice...

I didn't get round to trying it but someone suggested ChordPulse/ChordPulse Lite in a previous thread as a possible alternative.

Walert, surely?

How did I forget Fear Factory - Demanufacture and Obsolete are two of my favourite B string-centric albums. Abyss by Unleash The Archers is a recent banger, also in B standard. Psycroptic have guitars in drop D, I think, but the bassist plays a 5 live.

Devin Townsend's solo work too, Terria and Ocean Machine both have some tasty playing

Neat low-fi electronic drum VST free for the next 24 hours: https://thecrowhillcompany.com/demon-drop-001/?chref=subbed Think you're meant to sign up to emails but that link might work without it.

I love it. An excellent twist on that style of body.

I've cycled with a bass in a gig bag with backpack straps which was ok. On a standard bike I think a practice amp might be challenging. You might be able to bungee it on to a pannier rack but you'd need to check the rack will take the weight. Having that much weight out back can really mess with the handling as well. Cargo bike time? 😉

Antiguaaaaaarghhh my eyes

OK this is neither cheap nor in the UK but it's pretty cool https://basslab.de/doubleneck-bass/

No personal experience but iirc Halo was synonymous with over promising and under delivering on some other forums I've been on. Caveat emptor...

I had a fretted and fretless set of the 5 string versions which were nice, but I was always baffled by the fact they didn't have the actual model name/number on them anywhere. Still have my Milestone which was my first bass, and saw me through a lot of practice and many gigs, not too mention learning how to do my own setups.

The only one I've seen so far that I'd want is the 1986 5-string Wal in the classifieds here. But not £7k+ want.

I was under the impression that it's functionally the same aside from the VTC, even down to the backwards wiring of the blend pot.

As a pointy headstock fan it's not really what I'd look for in a Jackson but it's a big improvement on the incredibly ugly David Ellefson sig they did.

The bridge position certainly looks like it might negate the ergonomic benefits of a shorter scale.

Growl = lots of mids Hifi = too much treble 😬 On a note serious note I'm happy to listen to recommendations for any 2 pickup, 4 knob config, ideally with a mid control.

Nice, not having to import one is definitely a plus point. Thanks for the heads up!

I have a Spector Legend 6 which was rewired to passive by a previous owner. I'm considering making it active again, can anyone suggest a 9v preamp with vol, blend, a mid control and treble cut that comes as a 4 pot version? I'd also consider a filter pre. Sound-wise I'm looking more for growl than hi-fi, but I'm not sure how much difference there really is between preamps in that respect. Edit: bonus points if it's easy to fit for someone with no aptitude for soldering

I upgraded my pj5 fretless with the higher spec pickups and frankly I might as well not have bothered, the difference in noise was almost imperceptible to my ear. (Fortunately I didn't pay £250 for them 😅)
