Certainly looked nice. Certainly one of those 'if it had 5 strings and frets' sort of thing. Never seen a catastrophic failure of a truss rod. Seen one jam once, but that was a pretty cheap thing.

Not a great thing to happen. Would love an uberhorn, but maybe not so much now!

Stares at the guitar in the corner of the bedroom...

my car is ok. Not that I have any intention of it ever going into London!

Of course he does. He doesn't have the will to use his time to do it, thats different. I know people who get up earlier than they have to go to work to practice before they go. Sadly I am not in a band with any of those people!

Usual pub gig: TC250 1x12 - fine TC-RH450 - 2x 1x12 - fine Ashdown - CTM 100 - 2x 1x12 - fine (although getting high on the volume). Ashdown -MiBass 220 - 1x12 - not fine

In which case, why does it have a Jack socket labeled 'Bass In'?

I had a 2013 EB5, loved the weight, sound. Not keen on the looks but unfortunately the string spacing was too much for me. But at least one of the few basses that I didn't lose money on!

The microtuners were quite a thing for a while, the fenders had them too (not steinberg ones though).

Well, yeh, it may work out bad, but at least now it actually has some hope which it didn't have before

Well, at least they aren't actually mad, so maybe it will be a good thing.

Depends on how much I really hate playing it that night

Wasn't he the guy from status quo? I mean, what would he know

Wow, look at you. so important that even your chair has a stage!

Not if that is what you want to do. There were a few periods of life where I didn't touch an instrument - its not compulsory and sometimes the desire just isn't there.

Not sure if there is more than a passing similarity with those. The top horn isn't as rouned underneath or as long, the bottom horn is very different (not keen on that). Control layouts different, pickup placement more musicman than ibanez and the string spacing looks quite wide. The only real similarity I see is the curve in the neck joint.

I have been thinking though that the SR1705 is the modern equivalent of the 1605, but glossy instead of matt. And every so often I think about changing to that. But then when I do I realise that the SR2605 is obvious the real equivalent of the 1605 (only one number different). And it doesn't pay for me to dwell there too long! Then I remember that after all these basses, and all these changes, the 1605 is still the one I would grab when running out of the house when it was on fire (you know, assuming I had got everything living out of it first!).

Yep, pretty well the same as my 1605 with a bit more weight added to the body so it isn't head heavy. Not that much like the 5005, that is a lot heavier, and has a few more knobs. And a hole - I replaced the woeful 3v preamp with no treble with a glokenklang. That means that I only have Bass, mid, treble, ie, missing out a mid freq (but I left the pot there so I didn't have a hole), and the glok has a pull switch for passive, so the switch wasn't needed. So that is a hole.

Just the base one, the VoiceLive Play. Just a useful thing to have, for confidence if nothing else, but I do have few effects, such as a crowd preset.

You fixed the missing string on the middle one!

That DC7 does look good for my situation though, the amount of trying to get the right power for the right things would be solved.

I can't remember, it is a copy of a general one that I got off ebay. Will look it up tonight. Yes, they are isolated. I needed more power for the B3 and the VoiceLive, but also needed to isolate the B3 from everything and the smoothhound, if we are not going to take a trip to digital noise town. The only downside, and the reason i am thinking of changing it is that to get the power for the voicelive and to keep the smoothhound and B3 away from each other, I need to run the voicelive from 9v, and it is a 12v unit. So it is right on the edge of what it takes. I have had a couple of times where I couldn't change patch (although none where it had failed, and you can always bypass). The other downside is that it is fed from a 12v power plug, with a short lead, and I would prefer it to be connected with an ordinary mains socket - must put that in at some point.

My Chinese power supply puts out just over 3A on 9v plus another half on 12 and 18

A decent quality pc power supply will supply about 60A at 12v!

I would also say, have a look in the for sale section on here, things don't have to be new. Although as you are putting prices in europe I am guessing you aren't in the uk - you don't have a location so hard to say.
