[quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1499177509' post='3329720'] Quite. A vocal has a range. A song which sounds great with one voice (the one of whoever wrote it, say) might sound wrong with another. A shunt in one direction or another might bring the song alive for the singer in question. A far better thing to ask might be about why some musicians are so fixated on the importance of the key a song was originally written in. [/quote] This. In spades. The OP reads a lot like someone who has never sung. It's akin to demanding that a bassist play a low D on a 4 string tuned EADG. What do you mean you can't do it? What do you mean your instrument doesn't do it? Why are you crap at your instrument?

Vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_u21GiMsgI

Here you go. 19mm spacing at the bridge and a 43mm nut [url="http://mayones.com/page/jabba-hadrien-feraud-5"]http://mayones.com/p...adrien-feraud-5[/url] Actually the vid review says 18 mm bridge spacing and Bass Direct says 19 mm.

I like the old ones - but the unusual pickup mounting is annoying for us modders.

[quote name='subaudio' timestamp='1498783396' post='3327066'] Indeed but as it's a video to promote the bass I'd have thought they would have made sure they show the full range of the bass rather than harmonics and mid to upper flash etc. If they are trying to sell me a 5 string bass, I want to hear the B string being played properly so I can make an informed choice. I like Yamaha a lot I'd just like a more rounded/fuller view of what it can/cant do. [/quote] Agreed. I've had plenty of 5 strings where all the bass except the low string has been excellent. Need some nice low piano tone notes from that B string to decide.

[quote name='The59Sound' timestamp='1497816545' post='3320709'] Yes and there are no custom charges. [/quote] Where from?

Full details are here: https://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/article.php?article_id=192 It is being hosted by Ross Bailey (Rossyamaha on the Fretboard forum) who is a very handy session player and the font of all helix knowledge. No doubt it will be concentrating on guitar use, but the Helix is an amazing bass unit too, and the routing options are beyond anything else I've ever heard of. Apparently it will be streamed on the Yamaha facebook page too. I'm most annoyed I can't get out of work. I love my Helix - it has replaced multiple preamps and pedals for me and I've only scratched the surface.

Congratulations!

Get a proper flight case. £500 is nothing to protect your musical children.

Cheap I love the Marshall ED1 Middle-ish MXR Loads a money, Darkglass Super Symmetry

Anyone owned both the Darkglass and the Compact at the same time? Which did you prefer and why? Did you keep both? I think I might sell the Darkglass and get the Compact, but there's not many on the used market!

Anyone know what the preamp in the Urge 2 is? I think the Urge 1 had a Sadowsky preamp, but not the 2. Is it just the generic Fender one they use in all of their active basses, or is it something else?

WD Music will make you any plate you like if you give them the dimensions. You can order via the uk site. They are currently making me a Ray5 plate cut for a precision pickup. Doing a Bongo that just has the neck pup moved back 10mm will be easy.

I like them too. Very nice strings.

Yes please. I've never bought from New Zealand before. I've always been pinged when buying from USA
