I have TIs on my fretted ibby & as they say "a bit looser", I wouldn't say they're much looser than the average set of rounds. Be careful as some flats aren't recommended for thru body stringing (it weakens them).

I've been reading this over the past 24 hrs (Inc other post), went to band practice when there was 3 pages here, come back & there's 8! It is a blatant attempt at fraud IMO but I do feel for him as he must have something seriously wrong with him.

Nobody mention the Markbass 2x10 combo? Ticks all the boxes if it's a combo you want.

Push...

Do you plan on permanently having some OD on your bass? If so then try an MF-101. I can't rate it high enough, but like I've said in other posts, some folk think it's a tone sucker, I don't.

I'm wanting a nice 5 or 6 string fretless, but I doubt there'll be any from '71. EH, you could get a very nice ibby SR from '92. I got mine new in '90!

I'll chuck in a shout for the Moog MF-101 with the exp pedal. Will set you back about £180 - £200 new for both, but has CV options & you can get loads of control over it. Only downside is the size for some people, I prefer it as I don't want a dozen pedals on my board.

I prefer the shape of the SR to the shape of Fender's P or J basses & they have a stonking range of tones. Just a shame they don't hold their value as well.

I have Guitar Toolkit. It was £5.99 but I use it all the time & can be used for chords & scales for 4,5 & 6 string Bass, 6 & 12 string Guitar, Ukulele, Mandolin & Banjo as well as a tuner for each of those instruments and has a metronome with tap tempo or scroll wheel. Worth every penny.

You'd be better adding another 8 ohm cab to get more db.

When I bought my ibby in 1990, my mate bought a Charvel guitar which has a strat lke body & cost @ £600. So that's a bargain.

What's your set up? My bass buzzed like a fridge a couple of years back. Took the pickups off ' cleaned them & the shielding plates below em & has been fine since.

I think any song should be covered, just as long as it's not made to sound anything like the original. IMO a good cover is when someone takes a song & rewrites it in their own style. Anyone who covers a song the same way as the original should be banned from covering any songs at all (would put westlife out of business fully ) unless they are a function/tribute band.

One of my bands have a similar issue now and again. Not so much slowing down or speeding up as the song progresses, but someone slowing down or speeding up if the song starts at their not desired tempo.

I got TI flats from stringbusters last week & when I called them the chap I spoke to was very helpful & was a good customer service.

I got 2 sets of dr strings in Peacock blue. They looked good for the first month or so & then they started to look scabby as the blue turned silver around the areas where I play. But soundwise, they stay bright for ages & the G isn't very durable. Not worth what they cost over here, but if you get them from the US at @£30 a set then they're worth a punt.

I just got a set of TI flats from stringbusters for my ibby & coupled with the mf-101 I'm getting an amazing bassy sound just like I've been looking for. I'm seriously considering defretting it now, but may just save for a 5er & defret it. BTW, where did you get the La Bellas? I tried to get em but everywhere was out of stock.

Interesting looking bass that Hagstrom. Eagles have some cracking songs. Arn't they devil worshipers tho? Apart from the dyslexic one that sold his soul to Santa.

New years day by U2. Still a brilliant bassline and shows good basslines don't have to be hard. Also Pete Trewavis from Marillion & Tina Weymouth from Talking Heads was 2 bassists that got me started.

I don't quite get how a Warwick looks too metal/rock etc, I thought they'd fit in with any genre. More than my Ibanez & pedal board does in my folk/Altdot band.

Take it back & get your money back. This you are entitled to do & the onus is on the trader to prove it isn't faulty. Tell the trader politely that the noise is irritating you & that you want a refund. Again, this falls under the Sale of Goods Act.
