Oh dear, one worse than Papyrus, but not quite as bad as Comic Sans...

Is it just me, or has the look of Markbass gear gone a bit crazy of late? I used to really like the workmanlike appearance of their heads, nothing fancy or overdesigned, just practical and sensible. These weird big knobs they've moved to are pretty fugly in my opinion, and have you seen the Limited Marcus Miller heads?! It's got gold knobs! Compare both of the above to this >> Personally, I much prefer the older stuff looks wise... Eude

I think it would be more realistic to say "penciled in"...

Doug Wimbish. His career and legacy is enormous, but if I had to pick one thing, it would be Stain, by Living Color. His playing on that album is SO incredible. I've been listening to it fairly regularly since I bought it back in 1993 and the hairs on the back of my neck still stand up every time I hear it! Eude

I've literally only ever seen high profile endorser types playing them, usually always in YouTube demos rather than in real life, and they all seem to have given them back. Lots people excited about trying them, but nothing but radio silence since the launch. Like I said, a swing and a miss... Given the fact you can get a completely hand made, fully customised instrument for less, the market for these basses doesn't exist. Eude

Very true, the ideas in concept with the Boden are all sound, but they way they've been applied have let most who were keen to see the results down. The end result is only representative of the Boden. Looks like a pretty big swing and a miss from Strandberg from where I'm standing. Eude

Before I moved to Newtone strings I used DRs most of the time, I always got mine from these guys >> https://www.ebay.com/str/Bass-Specialties/ Don't think I ever paid much more than £30 including shipping from the US for a 6 string set. Never got stung for any import tax either, unlike when I bought some custom La Bellas, but all that might be down to the package value maybe? Still, even with tax they're still cheaper than buying in the UK. Madness... Eude

Have to say mate, that sounds marvellous, really full sound considering to diminutive proportions of the rig. I used to see a band play regularly, years ago in Glasgow and the bassist had an SWR Baby Blue 2x8 combo with the matching 2x8 extension cab and it was loud enough for a reasonably sized fairly lively pub with no PA support. I'm fairly sure those things maxed out at 180w too! They literally don't make them like they used to... Eude

We have some more progress. The fingerboard is now blocked and will be getting glued to the neck soon. It's second from the top, Cocobolo with AI Maple blocks 😎 Eude

Ooooft! That's working out well!
-
Wow! I borrowed an Acoustic Image combo once for a gig, I think it was a 2x8" with one of the speakers firing downwards, similar omnidirectional concept and it worked really well, it even kept up with a loud drummist and filled the small/medium room, probably about 100 folks in attendance. I didn't realise they did stand alone cabs?... Tell me more. Eude

New sofa, new bass porn shot. Eude

I'm a very lucky chap.

Fair enough, all I know is that the changes I've made, going from 35", through 34", to 33" and finally to 31.5", haven't resulted in anything negative for me, and I enjoy playing even more now. Eude

It's called "Fractal Birch", it's a man made figured effort made by laminating lots of wood together, as far as I'm aware. Alan could give you more accurate info on it I expect. I rather like it myself 😎 Eude

Feck, it's Sanctified, not Sin. Eude

OK, autocorrect made a fool of me. PINO Palladino. Eude
-
Very kind of you, it's actually a Piano Palladino line from a live version of a Nine inch Nails song. Eude

Cheeky wee sound sample of my TKO Modern 4... Eude

I've popped out the samples again, upped the gain a bit on the quieter ones and got rid of that dastardly hiss. For those who might have missed it, here they are again >> Eude

It doesn't as far as I can tell. I guess there might be something more subtle going on but I can't notice any difference at all. Eude
