    I watched that whole gig the other day and really enjoyed it! I've always rated We Borland, and Durst has still totally got it. I believe the main reason for Sam Rivers changing basses is the weight, he's not in great shape physically from what I've heard, his back really can't handle a weight of a Warwick these days. Still sounds like him too. Eude

    I would love to try the wooden cabs, I actually prefer the look of them to the Aero ones, but I can appreciate just how insanely well designed and made the carbon cabs are. I just prefer the aesthetic (and price 😉) of the wooden ones...

    The one on the right looks pants, I don't mind the one on the left though. Those basses are always going to sound like Ryan, because of his playing style and the fact the pickup placement is identical to the Thumb Bass. I think it's a bit of a shame though, I've always loved the look and the sound of Thumb Basses, and I think they look way cooler than those Foderas. I wonder what amp he's using with it, he's used Warwick amps forever too... Eude

    I don't think it's the Aero stuff, it's their regular wooden cabs, which are meant to be bloody marvelous too by the way.

    Thank you for that! The EKO on the whole sounds the best to my ears, but I think the SG has the edge when the neck pickup is soloed and the tone rolled off. Wonderful basses dude, enjoy! Eude

    I expect folks will likely pair their Digbeth heads with BF cabs as you can get a similar look and they'll be half the weight of the Laney cabs, which is a shame.

    Total sense, that's how I asked Alan to make it It's a super comfortable bass!

    Wow, my old Finn 6er! You've taken amazing care of it, it's an incredible bass too. If I hadn't moved to even shorter scales, I'd be seriously tempted to buy it back. Just for reference, something similar these days would likely be over £3k now, but absolutely worth every penny Best of luck with the sale! Cheers, Eude

    Thank you for the info dude, I look forward to hearing how it performs. I actually use 2 x 1x10s, but I was wondering if a more modern 2x8 would outperform that setup and speaker technology seems to move very quickly at the moment and my cabs are a few years old now... Cheers, Eude

    How capable is the 2x8? I've always been intrigued by little cabs like that. Currently using some older 1x10s but I wonder ifore modern 2x8s would do just as well of not better... Eude

    Yup, I've been saying this since the launch day! I appreciate some folks want big cabs for big stages, but if I'm completely honest I don't know many who actually do. Two high powered 1x12 cabs, that aren't crazy heavy is probably the safest bet for most folks I would expect. Laney have made light cabs in the past, fingers crossed they add something to the Digbeth lineup... Eude

    Very true, something actually unique to the player, unlike almost every other signature. Can't image they would sell many though. A lot of folks really dislike Limp Bizkit, but I think they're fun, they really do not take themselves seriously. I also really rate Borland's stuff he's done on his own, some of the Black Light Burns stuff is fantastic, and he's released some demos that never saw the light before for a band called Eat the Day, where he plays that weird 4 string bass guitar hybrid thing exclusively, along with another guitarist doing more regular guitar stuff. Worth checking out, and nothing like Limp Bizkit. Eude

    He's recently received a rather lovely PRS version of the concept >> https://www.instagram.com/p/CM3DAnuHURK/ "It’s a guitar/bass hybrid tuned F# F# B E or AADG, 80 42 32 22 ... it has guitar and bass pickups and 2 outputs. Scale length is 26.5"

    That sounds rather good!

    Purely just for more flexibility, but I take your point. When a big cab weighs in at 15kg, there's very little point going for 2 smaller cabs I guess. Eude

    I personally would consider a more modular setup, maybe the GR head with 2 X 2x10s or 2 X 2x12s?
  17. eude
    Ooooh, I like that!

    That is absolutely stunning!

    Happy New Bass Day to me! OK, technically it was last week, but I'm pretty time poor at the moment. I am extremely lucky to have received my very own ACG Uber Finn 5 string. Specs as follows: Body Wood: Mahogany Top Wood: Katalox Veneer: Maple Neck Wood: 5 piece Flame Red Oak/Wenge Finger Board: 2 Tone Pau Ferro Scale: 31.5″ Finish: Satin Lacquer Pickups: ACG MC5 Hardware: ACG/Hipshot Bridge, Gotoh GB350 Resolite Tuners and Dunlop Straplocks Pre-amp: ACG DFM 5K/AP The bass is absolutely exquisite, perfectly balanced, not too heavy, not too light. The playability and sound, as with all ACGs are both incredible, but this one takes it up a notch with the MC Series pickups. These pickups are incredible, so articulate and precise, they really capture every nuance of your playing. Coupled with the DFM 5k, you have everything you need to sculpt your tone. I tend to run the neck pickup quite thick and bassy, and the bridge pickup a little more grindy/gnarly, which gives you a huge aggressive tone, which can easily be tamed by dialling back the passive tone control. There's a world of possibilities though. As with my other basses, it's a 31.5" scale, which is a scale length that kind of found me but feels so absolutely perfect. Special note for the TGI Gigbag that the bass shipped in, very simple, but well made and effective, I'm going to pickup a few more to replace some of my less padded bags. All in, I'm a very very lucky lad! Cheers, Eude

    Regardless of cost, I've heard the ergonomics of the bass just aren't very good. The whole scaling up the guitar design thing doesn't usually work all that well, and I think these Strandbergs are a classic example, made all the worse by the longer low strings. Given how much effort and thought has gone into the design of the guitars, I found their basses really disappointing, pretty lazy really. I only ever saw a handful of pros using them on social media, using all the right hashtags for a couple of months, and now they're gone, straight back to the instruments they used before. I don't doubt Strandberg could come up with something special for the bass world, but I think they're going to have to make more of an effort... Eude

    Thanks matey. I think having two sounds in one pedal, along with the DI would certainly be more useful. I may just have to bite the bullet.... Cheers, Eude
  24. eude
    Thanks for the info. Dare I ask how this would compare to a Sansamp BDDI V2? Asking for a friend... Cheers, Eude

    Absolutely stunning, congratulations! Eude
