    If it’s mainly reverse delay you’re after, even the more recent Boss delays has reverse. Someone on here is selling a trio of them. The DD7 and DD6 definitely have reverse delay. They’re also handy as basic loopers…

    Just add *SOLD* to the end of the listing title and it’ll automatically lock the thread

    Exactly this. I’ve sold many five string basses over the years. The cheaper basses flew out the door and the more premium instruments took a while longer to find the right home. Certainly haven’t noticed any difference in selling fives than fours…

    Thanks @WinterMute! I think it’s because I played Warwick 5-strings for so many years with their tight string spacing. Wasn’t the sound I was ultimately looking for though; which is a particular shame as this bass sounds exactly the way I want but I can’t quite get my hands round it without drastically changing my technique. And of course most Jazz-style 5-stringers have 19mm spacing. My current main 5-string is a Ken Smith Burner which is 17.5mm and much easier for me to get around. I’ll be sad to see this one go though; it sounds amazing

    Oops you’re quite right; it’s a Skyline 55-60. Looked exactly like a DJ5! 🙄 Anyway it’s here just in case

    @CalDeephas a very nice-looking DJ5 up for sale on here.

    Having bit of a clear out so selling my trusty MXR DC Brick, as it’s from the big board I don’t use anymore. The power supply cable is a replacement as the original one was a festival changeover casualty. Includes all the original power cables for pedals and the unit itself is in very good shape. No original box I’m afraid. £35 posted in the UK, or you can collect it from Peckham SE15 and I’ll knock off a fiver

    You beat me to it! That’s a fantastic looking bass. GLWLS 👍

    Very sorry to hear that @kuetsum. Martin and John have done all the work on my basses over the last twenty-odd years and have always done an amazing job.

    @kuetsumDefinitely worth speaking to Martin and John at The Bass Gallery in Camden. You could easily drive there from Milton Keynes in less than 90 mins

    They do a lovely set specifically for Mustang basses (760F-MUS). Had those on my old JMJ. Am guessing they would fit similar short scale through-body basses. Just checked up on their website and they say “Do not use standard flat wound bass sets on basses that require stringing through the body of the bass (or else they will break). The 760FS-TB fits standard long scale “through body basses” (we only make these in standard long scale)” It is unclear whether this also includes tapewound strings though… https://www.labella.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/La-Bella-Strings-Bass-String-Guide-1.pdf

    Just put a set of 760FS-TB’s on my Precision bass. As far as I know they’re the only ones suitable for through-body basses. Pretty sure all their tapewound strings would have to be fitted through the bridge

    My money’s on a Micro POG. Pretty sure you can see it at about 7:02 if you zoom into the pedalboard…

    Thanks Pete 👍

    Selling my Mayones Custom EP 5. Bought last year from Guitar Guitar. Recently set up at The Gallery and sounding fantastic. It’s one of the best sounding basses I’ve ever owned; just wish it had tighter string spacing! Collection from Peckham SE15 preferred, or could potentially meet up somewhere. Would rather not post it. Comes with all the original bits; very swanky semi-rigid gigbag, strap locks, tools, paperwork etc. Weight is about 4.36kg so not too heavy and balances very nicely on a strap. Condition is excellent. One small ding near the jack socket, as shown in one of the pics. Other than that it’s perfect. The only potential trades I’d consider would be a Mayones Jabba Hadrien Feraud Signature 5 (preferably in antique brown) or a 5-string Warwick Infinity or Streamer Stage 2. Specs: •Origin: Poland •Year: 2023 •Body Wood: Swamp Ash/AAA Eye Poplar •Colour: Blackburst •Finish: Gloss •Neck Finish: Satin •Neck Material: Maple •Fingerboard: Ebony •Pickups: Mayones •Preamp: Mayones •Pickguard: N/A •Hardware: Black •Gig Bag/Case: Gig bag •Frets: 24 •String Spacing: 19mm •Nut Width: 44mm •Scale Length: 34.25” •Weight: 4.36kg

    I don’t regret selling my Hofner violin bass either. Sounded bloody fantastic in the studio but it was such an arse to play and, like you, I was worried I would break it all the time. Never once did I play it live but it made it onto a good few records over the few years I had it. Now happily replaced by a Wilcock bass which does that sound equally well and gives me loads more options.

    Ah the endless joys of the mystery rattle! As @NickD said, could be one of many things. My bass develops weird rattles all the time and rarely can I pinpoint where they come from. They always seem to resolve themselves. It does help to have someone else listen to the bass and see if they can find it whilst you’re playing, because guaranteed you’ll never get your ear next to wherever the problem is…

    Only the Yamaha SLB100 has the headphone socket. With the SLB200 or SLB300 you’d need something in between (headphone amp, audio interface etc). I play an SLB300 and it’s great for silent practice both arco and pizz. Usually plug in through my audio interface. Scale and feel matches my acoustic upright perfectly so everything is directly transferable.

    Looks lovely. Dying to try one of these out at some point. GLWTS 👍

    They do if you put in a custom order. I suspect you’d have to go through a shop with the order as some of the options aren’t on the standard Configurator form, ie; pickup options and D-tuners.

    Looks like they’ve tried to stain it with old tea bags…

    The flame top Hadrien Feraud signature. As soon as played it in the shop I knew I was in trouble…
  23. simonlittle
    Good idea! Might give that a try. Pretty sure I have at least one spare set knocking about in a drawer somewhere…

    I recently got hold of the Hadrien Feraud Burner that was up for sale at The Gallery and I love it. Been looking for a good five string with 17.5mm string spacing for a while now. It’s definitely the sweet spot for me having played Warwick fives for so long in the past. The Smith is a really good weight (just over 4kg) but it is a bit neck-divey; currently investigating wider straps to try to solve that little niggle. Just slapped some Dunlop Super Brights on it and it’s really singing. I’d definitely recommend checking them out if you’re after a really clean and fat sounding five-string.

    I too had a similar situation with a Stingray. Had a lovely pre-Ernie Stingray that I played for years with the Divine Comedy. Lovely slim neck; so easy to play. But I could never get it to sit right in the mix. Certainly never recorded with it. Had a brief dalliance with Precision basses before eventually settling on a Sandberg as my main gigging bass. Had one made that looks just like my old Stingray and I love it.
