I have a different problem with the E - I play a 5 so when I play the E with as much of my finger as possible, and my finger comes to rest against the low B I get a big thuddy impact sound (from the B string)via the piezo pickup. But the annoying thing, is that sometimes I don't and it just sounds perfect. But I have no idea what I'm doing differently. I like the thud sometimes, but I'd like to choose then it happens!

It has arrived! Seems nicely made. I now have the super pain in the arse of doing the rosin for the first time.

Another vote for a good 2x12. Bergantino would be my choice, but there are great choices these days.

Looks nice. I have a Vertigo and it's great but it is a big chunky thing.

GHS Pressurewounds. Lovely strings.

I almost had that, but bills arrived. I have a Consat Custom already, Marleaux are the best basses around IMHO.

Doh! Good point. I'm using it with a NXT5 loaded with Spiros. Trying to get as close as possible to a nice woody pizz sound. Say from 3mins 20 in this clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUz-WqUw4Ic

I've only just got one so any guidance would be appreciated! I tried the recommended settings in the manual and it's ok (going into the FX return on a Genz Shuttle 9.2) but it's not quite there. But when I move stuff I get further away from the sound in my head! ta muchly

Didn't think they were out yet! Not seen any pricing. I have the discontinued Bass Platinum EQ one and it's great, but the new one looks shiny!

It has reached UK customs. It is now "Awaiting Customs Charging" Arse. I don't mind paying, but I want it now!

I found the neck shape too square. Mine was a 16.5mm spacing so I don't know if the regular spacing has a slightly different shape (I'd like to find out too!)

I agree with Jack. I had a Streamline that I only sold as I couldn't get on with the neck shape. It sounded great. Trebly when I wanted it, deep and thick when I wanted it. If they had some options for the neck shape I'd be buying another one without a doubt.

Thomann are cheapest for Thomastik but you have to spend about £160 for fee shipping. They are still cheaper than most places even with the £10 shipping charge though. For almost everything else, I actually find Amazon to be cheapest, but the prices fluctuate a lot so you have to keep any eye on it.

Honestly! How long does it take to get an army of chinese children to make me a bow and walk over here? bah!

Marleaux Consat Custom I have one and it's spectacular.

Big fan. Had it from release day and it's stayed on my board ever since.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1409438494' post='2539800'] I dunno about that, but generally if the rehearsal before a gig goes well then it'll be a sh*tty gig, and vice versa... [/quote] Oh yes!

I do have an NXT. And I reckon I've got about 3 weeks before the wife gets to see the credit card bill She used to moan about string replacement time before....

It's a bit thunderous.

Bow on the way! I'm quite excited!

I'm loving these lessons. I'm an EUB virgin (I know it's not a real DB, but I can't fit a real one in the house) and the stuff about hand positioning has already made playing so much easier.

Bergantino CN112 Wonderful thing.

This is getting a bit Indiana Jones!! Lovely!
