Look great

Toured with mine, flown with it, always stood up to the task. For day to day usage I take my Mono M80 but anything more strenuous the Hiscox takes the load, sad news to see them closing down.

I had a Harke HA4000 head with 210 & 115 XL cabs, was a truly awesome sounding set-up, but as the amp was flight-cased (with rack tuner & wireless kit) it was all a bit too much for me so moved it on. The HA4000 was amazing, had parametric mids so could really shape the sound nicely.

Agree, we (Knock Off) have a gig in a couple of weeks time and the allocated time in the dressing room expires at 6:45, leaving us nowhere to put our gear, so for me that`s when I`m going home.

I’m in agreement, I’ve liked all of the lightweight setups I’ve had, all were great but whenever I’ve played through an old school rig I’ve noticed a difference, and one that I’ve preferred.

Sat 24 May, The Spacewasters at The Water Rats, Kings Cross, London, a punk/garage/psychobilly/surf event with 5 bands.

I`m so used to Precisions that I just can`t seem to get it right with a Jazz in a band setting, so I reckon this could well be a factor for others too. Especially as I`ve heard excellent Precision sounds from bands only to see it`s a Jazz being used so I know it can be done, just not, it seems by me.

I had this at a rehearsal last week, with one band, didn`t happen with the other and was using the same bass. I did check the intonation at the weekend just to make sure and all was good. So I now think it`s the guitar in the first band needs a set-up.

Really like this, agree re Jam like sound

In my classic rock band we do the NIN/Numan version of Cars

This post made me wonder how long I’ve been on here, looked and it will be 15 years on Weds. And I only joined to sell a bass, wonder how many others have similar stories.

Definitely, I think I’m just so used to Precisions in the mix that anything else both sounds wrong to me and it’s me not being able to get the best out of them that’s the problem. I mean, listen to Deon Estus on Whams Club Tropicana, awesome sound.

This is something I’ve done repeatedly over the years.

Wow!!

Agree, it’s difficult to get past this

Just got home from a Spacewasters rehearsal. We only rehearse when we’ve a gig looming (2 in fact, in the next couple of weeks, both at The Water Rats in Kings Cross) just to refresh a bit. Our new guitarist is fitting in well, both guitarists working this eve on sounds and who does which lead bit etc. Plus me and both guitarists now doing backing vocals so a lot stronger in that dept which is good. Bass was JMJ Mustang into the studios - I think - Laney stack of amp/410/115, sounded great. In this band I tend to go for a more traditional supporting bass sound which I prefer to the up front/listen to me sounds I’ve had previously.

Do Yamaha BBs look too Precisiony, if not def worth checking out.

Excellent news, tell all, what type of band?

What sort of life do you get from these, do they last as long as flats?

It’s over there, between the land and the sky!

What?

It’s just something I’ve always done, works well enough so I’ve stuck with it, I find any longer on E & A and there isn’t enough room on the tuning pegs anyway.

That’s some good news Steve

I cut mine at 12cm for D & G 11.5cm for A 11 for E

Eagerly awaiting your verdict
