Do a Metro Express m5-24 you cowards

My old version of EZDrummer includes notes for left and right for kick and snare in its MIDI mapping, although I'm not convinced they actually trigger anything differently.

Less so on BC, but when selling locally (Gumtree etc) I always price a bit higher so when the inevitable lowball offers roll in they're closer to what I really want...

I'd guess the switches are on/off per pickup, and a coil split on the push pull? Never seen a superstrat without a 3/5 way pickup selector before.

White works better here imo, the red tort gets a bit lost.

Ha, there was a related billboard ad from around the same time with the strapline "cheer up goth, have an Irn Bru" which is a favourite of mine 😅

What don't you like about the current setup? There are lots of options with varying degrees of cost/complexity, but if the current setup works I'd try living with it for a while.

I'd take a 5 string over another Fender copy, I'm not much of a retro guy but that looks quite smart. They're obviously not in the vintage replica business and more power to them.

I had this for a while, not sure how it happened but I was able to switch it back using the buttons under the "Start new topic" button

Smells like a typo from whoever entered the details at Thomann to me.

I'd be looking in the classifieds for one that suits your budget and form factor -- I like my HX stomp which come up fairly frequently at ~£350 and should hold that for a while yet. Rackmount multi effects puts you straight into the top end these days, unfortunately -- I can't think of any guitar/bass oriented units without getting into Axe-FX/Helix Rack territory. I can't imagine a cheaper unit (e.g. Behringer FX2000) will be a worthwhile improvement over your G-Major.

Was about to post this but it's £159 from GuitarGuitar so you can get an extra round in edit: oh the GG one isn't the Plus version

The standard Overwater body shapes don't do much for me but that looks incredible

Are you generating codes to distribute or something? This doesn't sound right to me in the general sense.

I've sworn off physical media for space reasons (although I should really go back and re-rip my CD collection at higher quality...) -- 99% of the time now I'm buying downloads from Bandcamp, or occasionally one of the other digital storefronts if there's something I want that's not on BC.

Tangent, but it's neat that that URL still works despite the profanity filter's best efforts.

If it's just for practice and you have something that already works, I wouldn't bother tbh. I'm sure you can find something more interesting to blow 1000 Euros on

Just finishing the 3.60 update, does anyone know what the consequences of ignoring these steps are? edit: oh a close reading of the release notes suggests it's probably this

On most bass bodies I don't think you'd have room to move the bridges far enough back to make the fan worthwhile without seriously compromising the reach and angle of the first fret. If you like a project for the sake of a project then go for it, but if you actually want an instrument to play on I agree with @Gwilym

Drop in fan-fret replacement necks aren't really a thing because you can't put them on a standard body without some serious compromises. If you really want FF and are ok with doing some (potentially a lot of) work yourself you could take a punt on something from AliExpress, or there's a thread somewhere here about Gear4Music selling B-stock FF models on eBay.

I'd have the Dingwall on purely aesthetic grounds.

But e.g. switching from standard tuning to drop D mid-set wouldn't be possible, right? I'm definitely more interested to try one now...

Yeah changing tuning on the fly would be a no-go. It doesn't lock, but there are springs that maintain tension, similar to a guitar vibrato bridge.
