EMG show the rails as being 2.9 inches long with a maximum recommended string width of 2.5 inches.

Super, thanks. I will try again.

Was that recently and about the course?

Thanks, I will try ringing him.

Has anyone been in contact with Jon regarding the course recently? I emailed him just over a week ago and haven't had a reply yet.

I mentioned this to my wife as an idea for my 50th this year, and she said she had thought of trying to find something like this for a present, so let's hope covid restrictions ease enough.

My concern is it may be the start of a split. I could be wrong and if it stays as it is I'm not worried, I just wanted Thomann to be aware of it early on.

If it was just a pot or tuner than £20 would be fine, but as it could be the neck £20 isn't going to cover it.

I received a Harley Benton PB-50 for Christmas, and I'm really enjoying it. I have noticed what may be a small fault in the wood on the edge of the fretboard, so I emailed photos and my concerns to Thomann. Thomann responded that they were confident that it was not a problem, but they offered me a £20 goodwill discount. I asked if my warranty would be affected if I accepted the discount, just incase the fault got worse. Thomann confirmed that if I accepted the discount the warranty for the possible fault would be void. I have declined the discount in favour of keeping my full warranty. This post isn't to have a go at Thomann or Harley Benton products, its just a heads up that if you accept a discount you may be losing part of your warranty.

Thank you Neil, I'm looking forward to giving these a bash.

This is getting recycled tomorrow so message tonight if you want it.

Give it away by RHCP. I think it would be good to explain why certain notes are used, eg root, octave, 5th etc. I wish that had been explained to me when I started playing.

I've been trying to think of a reason to keep it but haven't come up with one. This one is in the hall, but getting in the way. Shame to bin it though.

I have a large box that a bass from Thomann was delivered in. If anyone wants to collect it from Stourport on Severn they can have it.

Nearly a tenner postage too!

Are you using a new set of strings, as they will have more tension then a used set detuned.

I try to learn songs note for note, but I probably don't always get it right.

I use 55-110 and occasionally tune to C#, they are a little floppy but manageable. If I was recording I would set up the bass to the tuning.

The EMG JVX pickups are worth a look.

I have a Rock Bass brochure with these in, I guess it would be 2012. I also remember one on these on the Warwick stand at The LBGS, it was for sale and I wish I'd bought it.
