Mesa WD-800 or TT800. Might need to look at the second hand market, as parts and expoprting from the USA into UK / EU is some challenging at the moment .

Thanks Stub Mandrel, do you have links to examples? Thanks Mcnach, I will have a look at this.

Thanks GremlinAndy. I had seen these at some point but had previously discounted for over-kill. I will have a further look.

Hi everyone. Are there any (UK available) alternatives to the discontinued Visual Volume pedal. I'm in need of a volume pedal (ideally compact) with LED level indicators. Thanks in advance

I'd happily pay more though for a print edition as they are great for flights, a quick browse in the car before school pick-up, holiday reads etc. My plan is to go back to early Bassist / Bass Player issues, and read them all again 😂

As per issue 426, the magazine is moving fully online from issue 427. I have loved many many years of Bassist, Bass Player (etc) magazine 'flicking through' with a coffee and a hob-nob. Reading magazines is just not the same online... well, for me anyway.

For me, I run the following cab wise: Small (Jazz etc) gigs = a single 1x10 (a GR AT110 carbon cab) Med gigs (weddings, functions etc) = a single 2x10 (Mesa Subway 2x10) Larger gigs (concert halls, festivals etc) = two 2x10s (Mesa Subway 2x10) All light and portable, but I always have the mind-set of picking the right cabs for the gig. I am more than happy with the cabs I have, and pretty much settled any "GAS" cab-wise. The above probably doesn't help you directly though.....

Hi Luke, I should be able to help you with this. I am based in Chandlers Ford, so not too far away. My website if you want to have a look: www.gregmudd.co.uk Please send me a PM with details / discuss etc. Cheers Greg

Currently running Kent Armstrongs at the moment since 2007. It's a shame that I can't go wider than 36 really, not without routing the body which I want to avoid. Not exactly sure - I will have a look underneath the pick-ups next time I restring. Barts do a BD which look like they would fit.

Probably Similar to Bartolini Quads, but at this stage I want to see who does that size chassis, as the options seem a little limited for the size.

Apart from Kent Armstrong and Bartolini, I am looking for other manufacturers of Soapbar pickups which are 100mm X 36mm (both can be +/- 1mm). I have had no luck with Aguilar or Nordstrand (unless I have missed something). Thanks in advance!

Looks like a lined fretless to me. Semi-acoustic too!

Nice coloured bass. Overwater style shape. Not sure I like the NS inspired headstock.

If anyone has younger children like me, you may endure the CBeebies program Number blocks. Imagine my excitement when a song (series 1, episode 5) includes the words: "Five strings on a Five String bass"!

I couldn't agree with you more. Whenever possible, I now try to purchase from physical stores rather than online. However, the problem is not always helped by the retailer, especially when stock (say of a pedal, for example) is only available online and no stock is available in your local store. Sometimes the convenience and confidence factors of shopping online is too much of a pull to trump driving x number of miles just to find that the shop is out of stock etc.

Same for me. Searches showing Zero.
