LOXX. Schallers wore through and dropped my bass, as did Ernie Ball.

50 freedom units for a short bit of mediocre leather isn't great either. I think that's about what my Maruszczyk padded extra wide prime leather straps cost me.

A threat, possibly.

Give guitar some space and go grab a banana. Or lock in with rhythm guitar and hold down the basic riff.

The Nordstrand MM 5.2 are a straight drop in I believe.

As a discerning metalhead, please list some. Unbelievably Krisiun have been a recent discovery for me.

I'm using the booster solely for confidence

A simple beach shelter will keep the sun off your pedals. The lady can easily tell you whether they're on or not.

If it's stupid but it works, surely it isn't stupid?

Nothing before the show. One bottle of pilsner (33cl) during to keep the throat wet. Possibly one after all the gear is cleared away.

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.

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 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samson-SR850-Professional-Reference-Headphones/dp/B002LBSEQS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=P1ACHJRBGCEV&keywords=samson+hd850&qid=1653861843&sprefix=samson+hd850%2Caps%2C89&sr=8-1 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 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.

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.
