My guitarist built me a custom bass and brought it to a gig where I played it for the first time. Didn't bring a backup either.
It's still my main.

ISO acoustic do some very nice acoustic decoupling. Big fan.

That SR5 is the wrong body shape. Gutted.

Polytune mini 2 here. Not a problem on my 5ers and I tune AEADG.

Slippery when wet got me into rock music when I was eleven years old. Left hairspray rock behind for heavier pastures very soon after that but they got me started none the less.

All maple was great on my MM Sr5.
Partial maple on the Cellar V neckthrough reinforced with carbon rods.
Rosewood on the Spector, looks good.

About a fiver over budget but highly recommended: Samson HD850
I bought a two pack from Thomann about 4 years ago to go with the electric drum kit and various applications, faultless so far for the price.

I'm fortunate my only hangup is break-fluid. I can stop any time I want!

I'd go with hipshot again. Although the quality of the plating is abysmal they are the most steady tuners I've come across.
I have to amend my original statement. I'd still go with the hipshots probably but last night I used my Spector euro lx5 at rehearsal for the first time in three or four months. It was still perfectly in tune! Not a cent out!
It's got Gotoh tuners on it.

I’ve had more than one vintage guitar lover point out that it’s the dryness of the wood. Again, just one ingredient in the stew, in my humble opinion.
Just like audiophiles hearing their silver connector cables wrought by Elven Smiths in the light of the full moon.

My main bass has a single EMG humbucker in the Stingray position and a volume knob. It's great.

Amazing how people, in face of facts, resort to hearing with their "common sense" 😄

A singer who can't make rehearsal because 'something came up' and 5 minutes later you see her getting into her car with 3 bottles of wine and a bag of weed....
Sounds like a friend in crisis.

Who's to say where flat is?
And the illustrious 'round' tone. There are no agreements on what that constitutes.

I saw a bassist use one of these with the French artist Camille a few years ago. It sounded amazing!
This is the only bass I keep with flats on. It's just a good sounding bass with enough options to be a work horse.

Just gigged one last night as the venue provided it. There's naught wrong with the power or the sound. Both my Engl amp and the following band's Gallien & Krueger sounded full but tight.
It's really down to the hassle of moving it around. I preferred putting it on a dolly to using the tilt wheels and handle bar, which sits too low.

It's no Peavey tvx but it's all right. A stupid weight to lug around though and too low to schlep comfortably.
I'd sooner get an 810

The Cali76 compact deluxe would be the first thing I'd buy again if something happened to my pedal board.
I tried the bass one but didn't like the integration of functions under a single dial so I sent it back.

I've just shelled out for Kali IN-8 monitors after trawling reviews for any pair under £1000. Spent the past three months looking at nothing but studio reviews etc 😁
The IN-5 could be a step better for bass than the LP-6 because the woofer is freed up for the bass and the mids are handled by a dedicated speaker.
Good luck, make sure to listen to comparisons with quality headphones and take everything in the internet with a pinch of salt.
