    Hi there, I quite like the look of your LH500, just wondered if there's any way to run it straight into a single 4ohm cab? Thanks.

    Can anyone with a 32" scale 5er comment on the B string for me? Just wondered if it's flaccid and useless, or whether it can be very good as long as the bass is well designed? I really like the idea of getting a 32" 5er built, it just seems like it would be so much more comfortable and easy!

    [quote name='Mr_Bond' timestamp='1418827668' post='2633754'] The problem with a 32" 5 string is finding strings. As far as I know, Warwick make the only off-the-shelf set. You may be able to have a modification made that will enable you to use 34" strings (the B is the problem). See for example an instrument by Alan Cringean: [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0152-harlot-mkii-6-short-scale/"]http://www.acguitars...-6-short-scale/[/url] I have a barely-touched (kept in reserve) 5 string 32" Warwick that will be for sale within a few months. [/quote] Interesting.... I'm sure I've seen medium scale sets from d'addario and rotosound before, but I may be wrong. Is your Warwick a 5er? If so, please pm me, I'd like to know a bit more about it, and how much you are looking for.

    [quote name='ikay' timestamp='1418805842' post='2633450'] Similar thread from a couple of months ago - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/247993-medium-scale-gas/page__p__2593939__hl__medium%20scale__fromsearch__1#entry2593939"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/247993-medium-scale-gas/page__p__2593939__hl__medium%20scale__fromsearch__1#entry2593939[/url] [/quote] Thanks man, I'll check it out.

    Hey folks! I quite fancy trying a medium scale bass (32" - 33"),5 string of possible, and just wondered if anyone had any recommendations? I wouldn't want to spend too much at this stage, so maybe sub £500 if that's possible. Hit me with ideas! Thanks

    Sold.

    [quote name='King Tut' timestamp='1411291310' post='2558105'] I've not played a 605 but I've got a bbg5s. It's the second one I had and I really love it. Fives aren't for me though so watch this space. I don't think k it was very high up in Yamaha's range but both of mine were put together with the typical yamaha quality you'd expect. Nice even tone across the board and plenty of tonal variation! [/quote] Thanks man, let me know if you let that bass go...... I didn't bid on the BBG5S in the end, it finished this morning. I don't really need it, and I think the BB605 is probably slightly better anyway. It does the job I need it to admirably, it's just GAS y'know!
  8. TRBboy
    Hey folks! I've already got a BB605 as a backup bass, and it's great, but I've seen a BBG5S for sale which is tempting me instead..... I love the BB605, the NE1 preamp is great, but I've always loved the Yamaha humbuckers having owned a couple of TRBs in the past. I just wondered if anyone has any experience of both models and can share their opinions? Thanks for any advice you can offer.

    [quote name='matejj53' timestamp='1411140539' post='2556880'] Hi, ill take strings if they are new,unused [/quote] Hi there, thanks for looking. Yes they are new, box unopened. I'll send you a pm about payment & postage. Cheers.
  10. TRBboy
    Hi folks, Bought 2 packs on a whim, and although they're GREAT strings, I really prefer the feel of a .040" set. £15 posted (UK mainland), or I may consider a swap for any Stainless .040" 5 string set. Thanks for looking!
  11. TRBboy
    Don't know about the 7 string, but I got a Bullet Booster 5 a few months ago and it's incredible! In fact every Sandberg bass I've had has been amazing (6 in total now).

    [quote name='thebuckets' timestamp='1396905290' post='2418710'] Can't post any pics for some reason but here's a link to my new VM4 3ts/rw/tort Very pleased, great service from bass direct https://www.dropbox.com/sh/85lnozfgr6jmjsc/Ce_nkz5HHK [/quote] Very nice dude, congrats! Glad you decided to stay with Sandberg.

    Lovely, congrats!

    Lovely! Those pics really show it off nicely!

    These are possibly some of the most underrated basses in the world!!! SERIOUSLY great instruments, and great value for a handbuilt european bass. Superb build quality, and a great range of sounds (the Glockenklang EQ is excellent very natural and intuitive, and has true passive bypass). The best thing about Basics? The neck, without a shadow of a doubt, is one of the fastest and most comfortable necks ever, and is what made me fall in love with Sandberg Basses. I bought a Basic 4 on a whim (which later ended up with Prime_Bass), and it changed everything for me. I've had loads of great basses over the years, and for about 13/14 years my go-to was a USA Jazz (obvs. known for their slim necks) (plus I had Yamaha TRB 4 & 5 strings at that time), but when I got my first Basic, it absolutely ruined the Jazz for me! By comparison, the Jazz felt chunky, clunky and awkward (to me). Anyway, it resulted in me selling all of my other basses because they just weren't getting a look in, and buying more Sandbergs! Now, 6 Sandbergs later, I now just have two custom build Sandbergs, and I'm very happy! It just goes to show, take a punt on something, try something a little different, and you just might find what you've always been looking for but didn't even know it........ £500 for a GREAT German handbuilt bass? What's not to like!? GLWTS Bri! (FYI, I've had a Basic 4 Natural/Rosewood, Basic 4 Greenburst/Rosewood, California PM4 Blackburst/Rosewood, Basic Ken Taylor 5 Highgloss Black/Rosewood, and I now have a Basic Ken Taylor 5 Highgloss Virgin White/Ebony (Black hardware), and a Bullet Booster 5 (same neck as Basics) Cherry Sunburst/Maple (Black hardware)

    Gorgeous bass! I used to lust after one of these (the red one in particular), but sadly had no money.... For me, the best Fender basses I've played. GLWTS!
  17. TRBboy
    Yep, going to the Cheltenham Jazz Fest gig. Can't wait!
  18. TRBboy
    Bottom one, but with a white pearloid scratchplate. EDIT: And another string!

    [quote name='rk7' timestamp='1391969447' post='2363122'] The Aurora is (currently) due for release early March, (probably around the time of the London Bass Guitar Show I suspect). Marc posted some pics of the internals yesterday of Facebook. It looks very amazing. Price is showing at £1600 through BassDirect. buy one TRBboy! RK [/quote] Not a chance at that price pal! New rig AND a new bass recently, I think I'm all spent out for the foreseeable future......
  20. TRBboy
    [quote name='rk7' timestamp='1391890017' post='2362398'] I am, until it is Aurora-time! Then the TC rig (2x10 and 1x12) will be relegated to the practice room! RK [/quote] Is there any word yet on a release date for the Aurora, or what the price will be?
  21. TRBboy
    [quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1391881506' post='2362296'] You could although it doesn't make any odds if no speaker is plugged in. [/quote]
  22. TRBboy
    [quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1391880513' post='2362282'] Short answer - no you dont need a speaker connected, and what you are suggesting should work fine Longer answer - the shuttle effects send does not disable the normal amp signal chain (that is done by a switch in the effects return jack) hence your power amp will still be processing the signal but it wont be damaged by not connecting a speaker. [/quote] Okay, thanks for that. I could just keep the master turned right down then.

    Actually, maybe it's just easier to use my Zoom B3, and go straight out into the Q3HD
  24. TRBboy
    Hey folks, I have a need to record a demo video of me playing, but all I have is a ZOOM Q3HD. I can't make much noise at home, so I was thinking about using the line in on the zoom (mini jack). Two questions really; 1) Should I just go from the effects loop send on my Shuttle 9.2 into the line in on the Zoom? 2) Can I do this without any speaker load on the amp, or should I connect my cab and just turn the master right down? Apologies if these seem like dumbass questions, I just don't want to do anything detrimental to my amp. Haven't had to any home recording for years, although I think my Tascam cassette 4-track is still around somewhere...... Thanks for your help guys.

    [quote name='rk7' timestamp='1391847199' post='2361895'] Bought one of these cabs from BassDirect (thanks Mark!). I'm over the moon with the sound quality it produces. Just need the Aurora amp now, and some red underpants to colour co-ordinate, and I'll be sorted! Vanderkley is top kit! RK [/quote] It is a truly outstanding cab, I love it! As happy as I am with my Shuttle 9.2, I think I may have to cut my credit card up when the Aurora comes out; the GAS will be strong! Are you using yours with the RH450?
