Gigrig system for me. It's great!

Bergantino CN212 Awesome.

I had the stock tuners - worked fine for me with the Thomastiks. Didn't try any other brand of proper DB string though

I've only ever seen them on the Flashbacks. No doubt Warwick custom shop will do whatever you can pay for though!

[quote name='Jecklin' timestamp='1438784590' post='2837281'] Oh and I had never realised the flashback has a unique design of bridge. Nice [/quote] That's a 2-Tek bridge. It was an optional extra with extra money above the standard bridge. Most of the bridge is hidden inside - it's a massive chunk of metal!

Man I'm jealous! I tried one about 15 years ago and I'm still gutted I didn't buy it!

This seems to be the best place to ask a techie question... I see that 1 wireless maker is now using 5.8Ghz rather than the more common 2.4. While I realise that 5.8 is not as congested as 2.4, is that really an issue? I have seen some wifi computer users complain that new 5.8Ghz routers are not as good at getting the signal through walls (not really an issue on a stage) Are there any advantages? Or is it really just a firm looking for a unique selling point?

I've just sold my NXT but I had Spirocores on it. The string wrap was a bit long on 2 of the strings (due to the ball end anchor plate being staggered) and was over the nut, but I have to say there was no detectable interference with the tone. I had intended to use a sharp blade and trim the coloured wrap but I didn't bother in the end.

[quote name='synthaside' timestamp='1438675972' post='2836226'] The Olp mm5 ive got Is a 16.5 m spacing , but my status vintage P 4 is standard P dimensions ... so i dont think thats true for all status basses . [/quote] No one said it was - it's an optional extra on a Status to have the narrow spacing. Costs more money!

I often move between a Marleaux Consat which has 19mm spacing to a Stringray 5 at 17.5mm The difference is very obvious, but I really like both. In the past I've owned a Status with 16.5mm spacing and it was far too narrow for me - even for non-slap work. It's only 1mm tighter than my Stringray5, but it was so very different to play.

NAMM Not Available Maybe Moctober.

Paul bought my NS Design NXT5. Lovely chap and great communications all the way.

In case anyone is interested - I got an answer from Gregor - After 2012 the neck shapes are the same.

Anyone got both a TT4 (Or TM4) and a VS4 (or VM4) Are the neck shapes the same? Or does the V type have more of a P bass neck? ta

That one was set up by the former members of Musicradar - from when Musicradar still had a forum. They closed it when there was a security issue with their Gaming website but never turned all the forums back on again.

The Demeter certainly is very clean and it really allows the sound of the individual bass to come through - but you won't get 1960s tones out of it without a pedal I love the clean piano tone it has - but I'm also a big pedal fan so it ticks all my boxes.

I use my Demeter and Berg cabs. But I do have a Roland Bass Cube 30 that I do gigs with when supporting acoustic instruments and woodwind etc. it's great.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1437858157' post='2829625'] These techie explanations are great - they're really explaining what I've been hearing for a while now in the consumer bass end of the Class D market. If someone (Alex?) can come up with a lightweight with a power supply that isn't lightweight (if you know what I mean), colour me interested. [/quote] Try the Demeter. It's brilliant.

I'm loving mine too. It's very clear and lets the individual sounds of my basses come through. Reacts well with pedals too.
