    Thanks for the help chaps. Not sure I could cope with 16.5mm - I've tried Status' with that narrow spacing and it really annoyed me. 18mm would probably be ok, but I find the spacing on my Marleaux to be perfect at 19mm. Have to keep looking I suppose.

    According to the Marleaux website my bass has 19mm spacing. But the Ibanez site doesn't seem to list their spacing. Very annoying.

    [quote name='SubsonicSimpleton' timestamp='1396361472' post='2412690'] Check your string spacing on your Marleaux, Ibanez tend to use narrow string spacing on their 5s, and I found them quite difficult to play as a result, probably not an issue if you use the same bass all the time, but very confusing for the fingers if you are used to playing on regular Fender P-bass spacing. Yamaha on the other hand make a lot of 5s with the same string spacing as you get on a regular 4 string - when I bought my RBX 775 it was the string spacing issue that sealed the deal in preference of the Yam over the other 5s that I tried out. [/quote] That's a good point! The Marleaux is definitely narrower than my P bass, but I don't know the exact measurements. I will check.

    Presumably you'll be paying at least MU / Equity minimum rates?

    My main bass is my Marleaux Consat Custom 5. It's wonderful but I need a back up 5 string. The SR1205 seems good from the specs and it's not too mental in price, especially if I can find a used one. Anyone using one regularly? Is there any neck dive? (that does my head in more than anything else on a bass) ta

    Some of the guys at The Fretboard have managed to buy fake Xotic pedals (BB Preamp) and ebay seems to be filling up with them Fretboard link: http://thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/13439/warning-counterfeit-xotic-bb-preamp-pedals-on-sale#latest Gut shot: http://www.harmonycentral.com/forum/forum/guitar/acapella-29/1685191- The listings seem to include excuses for non-standard control knobs, but the fake casings are also a little different, and the fakes don't have any writing on the bottom either (at the moment anyway). No doubt the fakers are concentrating on guitar kit as it sells more, but the bass kit can't be far behind. So keep them peeled!

    I'm using Berg CN112s and I love them with my Genz amps. Clean. And clear and project well. Very happy.

    TC-Helicon Mike Mechanic unit. or the Harmony Singer. Both awesome. I use a Harmony Singer. Adds a little reverb (much better than most cheap PA) and a preset compression, de-esser and EQ. And if you run a guitar into it, the unit will read the chord structure and generate harmony if you need it. I don't use the harmony part, but the pre-set Tone control is fantastic and really brings out the quality of a voice.

    Can anyone recommend a good pedal repair person? I have a Wampler Sovereign that has turned from a beautifully tight drive into a flubby farty mess. ta

    I have a couple of Tech21 boxes for this sort of thing - the VT BassDI and the 3 channel BDDI RRP is expensive but for some reason they just don't hold their value used so they can be found pretty cheap. Usually use the VT as it's a bit smaller

    you could run it in a loop of a Boss LS2. Then leave your pedal on and turn it on and off with the LS2. Just set the loop volume on the LS2 nice and high.

    I love filters and I've had loads inc the WMD and Prometheus. None of them stayed on my board after I got the MXR. It's just brilliant.

    Mono Vertigo for me. Excellent design and I don't find it uncomfortable. I've not tried the M80

    Phil bought my EMG J pickups. Really fast payment and great communications. Pleasure to deal with!

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1393838579' post='2384738'] You're obviously not happy with the bass. Return it and get your money back. [/quote] This. Not happy with the condition and thinking of routing it??? Send it back now.
  17. fretmeister
    Irrespective of it being needed for a tune - if there are groovy chicks in the crowd you want to see dance - turn it on.

    ye gods! No bites at that money? No wonder my listing for one isn't getting any love!

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1392658200' post='2371189'] Didn`t Bernard Edwards of Chic use flats on a `Ray? If so, that`s as good a recommendation as anyone can make for the flats/`Ray combination. [/quote] He certainly did!

    A used EVH 5150iii 50W model could be found for £600 Amazing amp. I love mine. The blue channel does the perfect cranked Plexi thing (and more) and the red goes to proper brewtalz.

    [quote name='oggiesnr' timestamp='1392120235' post='2364846'] ... and be careful about taking on hecklers unless you're really good at it! Steve [/quote] This!! When I started singing I used to reply with a simple "Dad! you said you weren't coming!" and leave it at that. Usually got a laugh long enough to start the next song. These days - I've been doing magic and comedy+magic for a few years now so I'm quite used to getting heckled and I have a massive list of responses!
