I play a hybrid and it has travelled loads. Only problem I ever had was a seam opening but you get that on any bass. Just because it's a hybrid doesn't make it good though. Mine is a cheapish one and I've heard some ply basses that sound better.

I've got one of these in Mahogany. I've gigged it a few times and works lovely for acoustic stuff and open mic nights. I'm still coming to grips with the scale but it really has a nice tone. I run it through a Sadowsky pre-di.

If you want to try one on the cheap, pick up a used Bronco. I've tried the short scale Squier Jags with the PJ config. Felt nice and some good reviews out there, at least for the P bass tone. The jazz pup seems to lack a bit. Also tried a Cort action Jr. Nice bass. I had a Bronco and swapped the bridge to a cheap high mass one and put an Artec hot rail strat pup in with new pots and cap. It roared, almost too much, but the upgrades cost £25 and transformed it. The new Squier Mustang shorty also looks nice but a bit pricey for a Bronco with a different bridge and pup.

Looks nice for the money you paid and if it sounds good too then a winner. I'd say eastern European with those white tuners?

If she's so talented why does she have to dance around with no clothes on?

Neil and I swapped basses. I couldn't be happier with the bass and the ease doing the deal. Thanks again.

Thanks for the chart Jake. I agree that sitting and playing these will help you hear how these modes sound and work. I'm going to use this as a practice warm-up

Thanks for the info guys.

What a great time you must have had. I agree that time away can help the head and you come back fresh with a new perspective. As the song goes, "Falling in love again...."

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1317245511' post='1388724']The idea of frets as an option is attractive. [/quote] Takes all the fun out of it

I'm adding a different bridge to my 5 string EUB and am wondering what may be a good choice for a pickup. Anybody playing a 5'er amplified? My first thoughts are a BassMax as I need a big sound but not necessarily authentic DB, second choice is one of those "No Nonsense" realist type pups on ebay. The EUB is a BSX Allegro and the new bridge is temporary while the original gets fixed.

Done as well. I agree with Jake too. I like their strings.

Really nice playing there, from you and the group. The sound guy did indeed do a very good job, balance, tone etc... all lovely. That looks like a fun gig...small group with a big sound. Good stuff.

Nice playing and singing there. Not easy to walk a bass line and sing a melody at the same time. Good news that you have an amp that you like. That can be a hard thing to settle on.

Enjoy the session. Cheers
