    I try to avoid open strings wherever possible as I don’t like the sound of them. That said my metal band uses open strings a LOT. ?

    Absolute belter of an amp; my brother's got a Classic 30 2x12 combo and it sounds amazing!

    Me. I have a bass set up permanently in this tuning. I’m using Dunlop Flats (.45 .65 .85 .105) and the tension’s just right. ?

    Paulownia wood

    Thanks for the replies everyone, I was thinking of this from an ecological perspective, as trees can grow and be ready for harvesting in 5 years or so.

    So sad to hear this. Malcolm was one of the most solid rhythm players ever, so much so that I reckon he'd have made a brilliant bassist.

    Anyone have any experience of working with paulownia wood or know how it sounds? I’m considering getting a body for a cheap project and was after some info.

    I realise that they're not to everyone's taste, but I'd rather he spend his time on making yet more custom instruments than another U2 album.

    Had one of these years ago and let it go during a spell of redundancy. Fortunately this week BC'er extraordinaire Pentode messaged me in response to my 'Items Wanted' post. This arrived shortly after:

    Just bought an Amp SVP PRO from Pentode after months of searching. He even posted it to me for 'approval' as he wasn't sure of its functionality. Ridiculously happy about all of this. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Grahame to any BCer. Deal with extreme confidence.

    Or give Roland Lumby a bell at The Amp Clinic in Salford https://www.facebook.com/theampclinic/ Über tube guru.

    [quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1510077247' post='3403821'] It could be a microphonic tube. Gently tap on them with a pencil to find out. [/quote] This.

    Frankly I wouldn’t put a potato anywhere near any of my basses. (4 in a row for me though).
