  1. Nice, I had to stick it on my card and pay later:-( Really could decide........ It was OW right up to the last minute...... They are in stock in Germany at thormann .... Slightly cheaper but you get hit with about £30 visa charge.... But I wanted it NOW.... Uk suppliers seem to have a bit of difficulty getting them......

    I thought that I would need to be a funky dude funkster to go for the OW :-)

  2. I had a noodle tonight but before I started I thought I'd check the intonation, G D were spot on, A a little off and E quite a bit off. I checked it on the 12 harmonic and the open string. After I adjusted it I was finding that most of the notes at the top of the E were very sharp and the notes from the middle spot on my Korg Chromatic tuner..spot on the green light in the middle.... The F note was over +20 on the sharp side. Virtually all of the notes on the D and G were on green, most on the A. I noodled to my Stage 3 songs and afterwards all of th strings were off and I guess I put that down to stretch. I've managed to get the F note to less than +10 by slightly flatting the open E.

    There is a little triangle either side of 0 on th tuner at about +20. Does this mean that if you can't get perfect intonation anything under +20 closest to 0 is ok? I checked all notes on all strings and they are correct, most hit the green light and any others are slightly sharp.

    The Bass is far heavier than my Fender Squire P Bass and it's so low it's unreal......I've got a punk pop song to play mostly on frets 1 and 3. I had the volume knob on the Bass set to max and rolled off all the treble.... I had to turn it up almost to full as it was so low... I've only got a 15 w basic fender bass amp.

    What I've found though is that I've discovered harmonics that aren't even on my harmonic chart...is that possible? All harmonics are crystal clear and easy to find even for me including the half fret ones :-)

    I know little to nothing about Bass but it seems awesome. ....... A little fret buzz as normal :-) .... The strings don't like sliding but I guess they are brand new,

  3. WOW ITS JUST BEAUTIFUL :gas: :gas:
    Why do they make it difficult to get that cling film crap off the scratch plate/pick ups?
    I'll play it tomorrow and it will sound like this:

    Blues.....Buuuz Bzz Buuuz Bzz Buuuz Bzz Buuuz bzz
    Punk pop..... B B ZZ ZZ B B B ZZ ZZ
