You could just jump in the deep end and get a six string, but if i were in your position i would use a five string B-G .... should do all you need! In the case of the arrangements in the keys of D and Eb, coming up an octave can sometimes loose some impact in the music...well, that my opinion !

Well, cut my tongue out ...but i too had a wal bass, a series two 5 string no less....was as heavy as a chippendale chair and although it had a lot of sounds, only a few were usable, i could never really get on with the filter preamp ..... anyway, bought it new for £1400 and sold it for £800 beat me now !!!

without doubt, the peavey, to me sounded best, i also liked the Le Fay

like the look of the 215 cab!

I would stick with the amp and cab route, if your current amp is fairly light weight, just get the super compact.

In the running for a new guitar strap, be it cotton webbing or leather.....all my basses weigh between 9-10 lbs so i think 3 inch minimum as i need the support for my neck.

I had the blx 130, great little amp, and louder than the 130 watts would suggest.....the cab section on the other hand i found pretty dire....decent bottom end for it's size but it was heavy!!.......anyway, it ended up in a skip.

john east uni-pre would be nice.....video on youtube of the five string version of this bass, guy has bartolini B-axis pickups i think.....sounds great!!

Tried one of the small combos and have to say... very good!!... nice eq

It was a veritable aladdin's cave ....... travelled from county durham to visit that shop.

Yes, a full fat usa peavey cirrus....stunning!!!....please don't touch it.

Just sold a Peavey millennium USA to Manos, great comms, prompt payment and he is a true gentleman... highly recommend.

Just for info, series 1 cabs used B&C woofers and series 2 i think used eminence

Very nice Aidan, lovely colour and cracking job

I will chime in again, i bought a genz streamliner 900 a few years ago and to me, if it really was 900 watts, they were pretty small watts.......i then bought an early markbass little mark 2 which in my opinion is as powerful as the genz streamliner 900.....I then decided to buy the markbass sd 800 (earlier class d ) and found that to be similar, lacking the warmth of the little mark 2.....Also tried the later little mark 3 and i find the tone of the mark 2 better.......So the LM 2 is staying put for the time being!

I take all my basses to Aidan, does a fantastic job.....they have never played so well !!

There is a pair of genz Benz focus 112s on the forum at £300.... really well made cabs
