I'm happy to play a 4, but I just prefer 5's. I'm just so used to having and using that B string. I often say that for me, playing a 4 string is like a 4 string player being given a 3 string bass to play! 😅
-
I don't know, but a Hiscox STD-EBS should fit. They used to do a Yamaha branded one, don't know if they still do. I've got one
-
Thank you for the concise answer 😅 I'm quite tempted to pick up one of the MM 5 string models as a project, with a view to moving the pickup forwards, but I'm comfortable with making a pickguard, it just takes time and elbow grease 😅
-
Very very nice Stu! I kept seeing this one pop up on FB! Looks beautiful now after your work. 😍🤌
-
Are the stock pickups on the HB's okay? Also, do standard aftermarket J/P/MM pickguards fit them?
-
That's super cool! There really are some fantastic budget instruments around these days. I quite fancy an inexpensive ray style bass and keep looking at the HBs....
-
Definitely, I run the 40-120's on my 5, and despite them being light gauge and low tension, they sound huge!

I had a 435 because I prefer passive basses these days, and personally I thought the pickups were superb and don't need changing at all. A big improvement on the 41x/42x series pickups in my opinion.
-
That slightly lower tension than most strings just makes them feel super easy to play 👌

I completely agree, it's a really stupid bit of branding! 😅 I find the initial brightness dulls fairly quickly, and then they just sound sweet and consistent for AGES.

Funnily enough, I've been looking at that a lot over the past month or so. I couldn't find much that would actually give me more room though, not without throwing a lot of money at it. Obviously it would save the space of the extension and power supplies though. I think probably the best option for me would be to build one I guess, could completely customise it to suit then. 😊
-
A very valid point! It's taken a lot of faffing around to get everything squeezed on, and I'm not crazy about the B3 being sideways and the comp being upside down, but it works. Just wondered if I could save some space to have a bit more room to get everything to fit better. I did have the extension outside of the pedalboard before, but that came with it's own problems. Maybe I just go back to doing that if I want more space.
-
I fully appreciate what you're saying. If I had expensive pedals, I absolutely get it, but mine aren't and I've had most of them for many years. My current daisy chain PSU was a cheap one, and it works just fine. It's just not worth me throwing a load of money at to save a little space.
-
Lots to think about, thanks guys. If I'm gonna spend £100+ though, I'm tempted to save the money towards an HX Stomp or something instead though 😅
-
Thanks for all the info guys, very helpful. I think I'm going to struggle to get one for reasonable money that'll do everything on my board, as most have a bunch of 100mA sockets, one 500mA and then a 12 and 18v socket. The zoom PSU is 500mA and the Smooth Hound wireless is 250mA.... It's not worth me doing if I can't power it all off one block. EDIT: Actually, there's a cheap one on Amazon with great reviews which has 2x 500mA sockets 😏
-
They look really good! I know they had a very glowing review on Bass The World recently. They don't do a 5 currently unfortunately, otherwise I'd be seriously considering one! I know you've had a V7 before, but the Sire V5 would be a very strong contender in this price band too.
-
Hey folks! I've always used either individual power supplies, or the daisy chain type ones. My extension and the PSUs take up quite a bit of space on my board, so I'm curious about these power supply blocks that everyone seems to use these days. Can anyone educate me much about them? Pros/cons, do's/dont's, etc? What should I be looking for in one? Are there any cheap ones that are good? I see there's a whole load on Amazon, eBay etc, which seem to get great reviews. Any recommendations? Thanks for the help 😊
-
Very cool! The black hardware and PG suit it well 😎🤌
-
The masterpiece ones are usually heaviest aged, with a little more detail especially around colouration and fretboard wear. The only way to be completely sure I believe is to check the serial number with Sandberg. How did you contact them? I'd suggest trying the service department as they seem most responsive. [email protected] Do you have a photo?

@Richard R I've bastardised the black one you did to make my own terrible personalised pass 🫣
-
Sounds like a great idea!
-
Looks like I'll be going on the Saturday, my guitarist buddy has just confirmed he can do that day, and it was my preference anyway. I know I joked before, but is there any way we could identify each other? Is BC merch still a thing? I'd buy a T shirt if so, or something cheaper 😅 Might make myself something if not. Would be good to say hi!

Soooo.... Which day are you all going guys? I'm leaning towards Saturday to see Cici's band. 🤔

Finally think I've got everything squeezed onto mine after weeks of wrestling with it! Flat patch leads are definitely the way to go, I got some Sonicake ones off Amazon. I had tried making my own using some basic metal pancake plugs I had knocking around, but they're rubbish 🤣 (the plugs). Sonicake wah modded to be bass friendly, and I've just had to replace the DC socket on my Chakra comp as it had fallen apart. I replaced the knobs at the same time as the old chicken head ones kept falling off. Oh, also a somewhat obvious lesson learned: It's a great idea to buy a mini wah, but you need to realise that you still need enough space for your foot to operate it! 🤣🤦
