    Hi All A few months ago I purchased an American Jazz Bass 5-string. It's great apart from there being a notable drop in volume when both volume pots are full on. I have had a number of jazz basses in the past and this has never been an issue. I recently put in a new wiring loom with a VBT configuration (personal preference), but the issue is still the same with the balance pot in the centre notch. Any movement to either side and the signal strength returns. Any ideas as to what might be causing this? Cheers

    The guitarist hates him. Looks like he’s thinking “here he goes. Every bloody night…”

    I believe the answer is ‘Waterloo Sunset’

    Unboxed an SWR cab at a gig once.

    People like Jacob Collier are bad for music. There isn’t a bass solo in existence that wouldn’t sound better played on another instrument. The best bass sound ever is on ‘Superman’ by Black Lace.

    Subscribed to this over the weekend. After 37 years of playing, there were a few eye openers for me in the very first video. Looks like a good investment, but I’ll keep you updated.

    I played a Kubicki X Factor throughout the 90s. Since then it has been mostly Fenders. I suppose my signature bass would be based on the Kubicki, but would be passive and have a more traditional body shape.

    I would take it back. It’s either fit for purpose, or it isn’t.

    Numerous easy solutions to this I expect. Here’s one: adjust the angle of your hand so the lower part of your thumb is also muting the A and E strings. I have recently adopted this type of approach after moving to a 5 string. Thumb isn’t floating, but neither is it anchored onto the string.

    I would find that kind of Diva behaviour unacceptable, regardless of how good he is. Right or wrong, my reaction would probably be to dig my own heels in!

    I’m sure that anyone buying this won’t need the second pillow.

    E string sounds out to me on the isolated track (Listen from around 1:20). However, still an amazing line, and works in the mix.

    ‘Something’ by the Beatles.

    A popular modern choice is likely to be Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran.

    Two effects pedals for sale. Both in excellent condition and come with original boxes and free added Velcro! Both have had minimal use, and have just sat on my pedalboard for the last couple of years, hence reason for sale.

    As a teenager I spent hours studying the cover to Iron Maiden's Powerslave. So that's mine for sure.

    I am looking to sell my virtually new Music Man Sterling 5-string. (Not to be confused with Sterling by Music Man). This bass is a pacific blue burst, with a black pickguard, maple fretboard and 3-band EQ. It was bought new in September 2020, and due to the COVID restrictions is yet to be played ‘in anger’. It has, however, had a professional set-up. It is a great bass, with a fast neck and low action. It comes with a EBMM hard case. Price is £975. Collection preferred, or buyer to arrange shipping. However, I would be happy to meet up within a reasonable distance (I am based in North Essex). Not looking for trades. Sorry!

    Thanks for all of your responses. To clarify - there is still an issue when playing unplugged - which is what I do a lot of the time. So not an amp/EQ matter I would say. I am only finding this issue on my MM Sterling, which is strung with Rotosounds. I recently bought a second 5'er (Fender Jazz) - same scale as the Sterling - and there is no such issue with the Fender strings. I have ordered some more Fender strings for the Sterling, which I hope will resolve the issue - particularly as it's a much easier bass to play.

    Hi All I have recently moved to playing five string basses after 35 years playing four strings. I have always used Rotosound strings during that time, and have been very happy with them. However, having added a 5-string set to one of the new basses, I find that the B is really (I mean REALLY) muddy. My question is - Is this just likely to just be a dud, or do some brands produce notoriously bad B-strings. Also could there be an issue with the bass? Any thoughts / recommendations would be appreciated. Cheers

    My list would definitely include Frank Zappa - YCDTOSA Volumes 1 - 3, Broadway the Hard Way, The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life etc. AC/DC - If you want blood Iron Maiden - Live After Death

    Thanks for your comments. I can confirm that the bass is all original.
