It's Easter - resurrection time!

That's just reminded me of another absolutely dreadful pile of crap - Lip Up Fatty by Bad Manners. Dance floor rammed with people doing imitations of Spotty Dog from the Woodentops.

C0 = 16.35Hz C1 = 32.7Hz C2 = 65.4Hz ... C247 = 3.7 x 10^75 Hz Slightly above the range of human hearing, and probably won't be reproduced too faithfully by the average PA speaker.

Antoniotsai - I have an almost identical one waiting for me to sort out a bridge for it, inlays are different though.

Tecamp Puma, any of the range (I used my 900 with a One10).

It's so the roadies can climb up them easily to mess around with the lighting rig.

Another vote for the Hotone. I used mine with a BF One10 for rehearsal, going to try it with a BC micro cab and my Plenty cab.

At a recent gig, the second guitarist's mic (for BVs) was feeding back rather readily. I noticed that although it was behind the FOH speaker, due to his pedalboard he'd got it angled at coming on for 45 degrees towards that side - he was quite close to the speaker too. At mid-session interval I got him to adjust the mic position so it was pointing about 45 degrees away instead (cardioid mic) and that reduced the feedback issue considerably. I'm not sure that would have come to mind as a possible cause had the issue of cardioid and hypercardioid polar patterns not come up in here recently.

That's a far better picture of the bridge. So not BBOT on the V3 after all.

The bridge looks different to the V3, it was a BBOT for all versions judging by that page.

The fifth screw into the neck is a bit unexpected.

Another vote for Red Red Whine - indeed, any of UB40's later cod-reggae covers, especially "I Got You Babe" - if you can't play 3/4 time, just don't bloody play songs written in it. Continuing the red theme, "Little Red Corvette" and "Raspberry Beret". Irritating trite little ditties.

Um, guitars have got a B string too.

Yes. An acrylic bass, 5-string with LEDs. One of the LEDs at the 24th fret didn't work so they sent me out a replacement neck. That was Music Zoo. Quality was good, fretwork well finished. It's a passive bass so no issues with preamp. I'll be replacing the strings at some point but they're usable.

I think it's a payment system like Event UK. Just messaged our drummer to ask him.

I'd like a second third fourth fifth opinion.

Yes, I use a 5.8GHz access point for an XR12 and also use either a Lekato or a Harley Benton 5.8GHz wireless for the bass, no problems whatsoever.

I would dispute that.

That's OK, there's no shortage of bassists who stick to four (or eight) root notes to the bar.

I bet that plummets when word gets out that he's been criticised by a couple of people on an internet bass forum.

This is the red flag for me: "it also relieves the player from the pain and discomfort caused by strapping heavy guitar's and basses over their shoulder." I wouldn't trust anything designed by someone who can't use apostrophes properly.

Same here. I'll use the B string for the occasional low D as a fill note when playing to a G chord, and for a beefier sound when I want it. I had a fretless 5 for a while in the 90s, didn't particularly get on with it, and couldn't find a 5 with a neck that I liked anywhere near as much as the slim and shallow neck on my '87 Thumb until I happened to buy an Antoniotsai bass purely on a whim from Vietnam. It so happened that I also bought a Squier 5 at the same time, a Super Special or something, P body with J pickups. The Antoniotsai came and the Squier went straight away. That was 2007 and after a bigamous period of a year or so, I went fully 5. Now I still have the Thumb 4 (and a fretless equivalent) and an acoustic 4, the other 20+ are 5s or 6s (plus a 7, 10, and 12). I take the 4s out now and again to open mics, which keeps me on my toes. I completely agree with @lozkerr that just because you can use 5-string fingering doesn't mean you must. In fact, playing Oasis's "Don't look back in anger", I find myself alternating between 4 and 5 fingering, partly in order to stay awake.
