Mr Bassman

I've got adjusters on 4 basses, just wish I had them on my other.

He seemed relieved to let go of it!

Got strings today thanks Hugh Haven't had time to fit them yet, off to gig now cheers

Thanks Hugh probably won't get chance to gig them tomorrow (Tuesday) but I'm looking forward to testing them out on my acoustics and eub's over the next few days. If anyone local to me (Harrogate) would like to come and have a plonk on them this week let me know.

And this guy, solo at about 5 mins [media]http://youtu.be/Th-m_AfemQM[/media]

I've played Tom's [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]BSX Allegro 5 but only briefly so I can't really compare it to the Yamaha, I've not had the opportunity to play a 4 string.[/font][/color] I'm on on my second SLB200, I think they come close to the feel of an upright acoustic but the sound is always a compromise. However for portability and zero feedback they score highly. There's loads over on talkbass if you've got time to read it all. Check out Max Murray, he gets a convincing upright acoustic sound out of his SLB200, solo about 2 minutes in. [media]http://youtu.be/vm564Px7Ino[/media]

Was just thinking about your G string See you've got it sorted

Yes please Daf

Is the bridge seated properly? Sometimes changing strings can pull the bridge towards the fingerboard, or a knock going through a door etc.

I've owned several (at least 10) eub's and have played many more Without doubt the best acoustic sounding was the Kolstein Travel Bass, which I've owned two of but had to let go due to the necks being too thin for my knackered left hand. 2nd best (amplified) acoustic sound imo is the Eminence. Although it won't spin due to the clever endpin design if one is used to a real bass the skinny Eminence takes some adjusting to. The yamaha SLB100 is by far the closest in feel (neck, body & balance) to a 3/4 upright acoustic bass but the stock pup which sounds great bowed lets it down for pizz. An easy fix by installing a Full Circle or Underwood. I get a great sound from mine with both pups and Kostein Heritage strings. The Yamaha SLB200 is a good compromise but doesn't sit there like the heavier 100 and can spin around until one is used to it. I can't choose between the three, they all have different qualities. I prefer the Yamaha necks and bodies to play and hold! A close contender to the SLB100 would be a Mo Clifton, but maybe a change of pup would benefit the sound. Have fun choosing

We can't have your G string buzzing Sarah! Check the other 3 tuners, any play in the keys? Have you got a pup attached, is there a cable touching the body or tailpiece? Are you using a [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/rdm_humitron_humidifier_bass.htm?gclid=CKzPu5OfpbUCFdLMtAodQBUAXA"]humidifier[/url]? Does it buzz if you tune the g string to a different note? (don't go too high!)

Try a different string?

Mark bought some strings from me, fast payment etc He was very patient waiting for the 1st class post which took 7 days due to the snow.

Another satisfactory delivery from Clarksville

Roberto just bought some strings from me, quick payment & good coms etc etc cheers
