Ha ha, so apart from the colour, the string spacing, the shape and the humbuckers, what have the Romans ever done for us 🙂 At least we can rule that one out then.

I like the idea - get in touch with your inner Hooky, so to speak. Here's an OLP. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232809502171?ViewItem=&item=232809502171 Mm. I quite like that colour, might buy it myself if I wasn't so busy trying to get my head around my new Weissenborn.

A couple more random thoughts: Schechter Hellcat VI, has a nut width of 42mm (so maybe too similar to the revelation?) Also OLP used to make a 30" scale instrument the OLP MM5, which looks more like a proper bass than a baritone guitar. Not sure on the neck width though, and these were discontinued some time ago when OLP was shut down so you might have to look for one on the second-hand market.

Available in Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, and Made In Texas Medium.

You're welcome - I spelt it wrong, its www.noteflight.com .

It makes me think of 'Sheep may safely graze' by JS Bach, but it's not that. Is there a semiquaver missing after the 'dot' ? Not impressed with musipedia. Noteflite is much better. And has proper bar lines and time signatures.

Vintage V300, new for not much more than your budget, and second hand should be easily achievable.

I have a H4. it works well for this situation in double stereo mode: I use the built-in mikes to get the main mix and a feed off the vocal PA to boost the vocals. Then dump both channels into Audacity and export a single audio file. I don't think the built-in effects are as good as something you'd get in a DAW.

Do you use the upper register? If not, buy another 4string and string it BEAD with the bottom 4 of a 5-string set.

Probably sound OK with a decent rig, including a sub.

If you're looking for a fretless, this end of line deal is a bargain. I played one of these last year and thought it was on a par with the Kala, and sounded excellent when amplified through a PA. https://www.hobgoblin.com/local/sales/products/XXHO00013/ashbury-fretless-ubass/

Still scratching my head over the M87 comment - you must have had a dud, mine is completely silent. I'd say the Keeley to go for is not the Bassist, but the Keeley Pro.

Yes, it's nut to the saddle, the length of string that vibrates. 'Elsewhere' is wrong. 32" is medium scale.

That should work - a jack plug on the mixer end, a jack and a trailing socket on other end. Plug the jack into the IEM unit (you can leave this permanently rigged up) and plug the monitor jack-jack cable into the trailing socket.

Bump - what happened to the 'Sticky' ?

At least you can get him to make you another one!

Thanks Matt, I'll bear that in mind.

DHA VT1 Pro would be worth a look too. Has a great DI on it.

@Briton, I think he's talking about 6-string acoustic guitar, not acoustic bass. I've used D'Addario phosphor bronze for years and years and mostly use EJ16s. I have one guitar which usually has 10s due to it's advanced age , but even that has been furnished with some EJ16s for a Bb tuning (Bb F Bb F Bb C ) I think they're the best combination of sound, price and long-life. I have tried the coated, they last 3 times as long and cost 3 times as much, but you only get that lovely brand new string feeling once every 3 sets.

I think Bassace has one of these, I seem to remember it putting in an appearance at the SE Bass Bash a couple of years ago.

I have an EBS2x12 Neo, which is doing much the same for me as Osiris's Tecamp does for him. At the SE Bass Bash , a few years ago now, there was a 'blind' testing of a large number of 2x12 cabs. Don't have the link anymore, but I recall that the Bergantino came out very highly regarded. There are lots of people using 2x12s on the forum and very few people who are complaining about them, so i think it's pretty hard to go wrong whichever brand you chose. Being heard in the mix has more to do with how you EQ things and how successful you are in persuading your guitarist(s) to lose the bass frequencies, than the cab.

Great bit of bass playing, the drummer is just about there but the other two are nowhere near. Nice looking bass too, what is it?
