[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1430125802' post='2758087'] We play a bit of everything too. [/quote] Have you tried playing the whole song instead?

One bass, and occasionally play with the knobs a bit. All that matters IMHO is that your bass sounds good. The few audience members who actually know what the bass should sound like for any given song won't be hearing your bass anyway - they'll be hearing the original song in their heads.

So ... any trades?

Mike Lull 5's are (almost) all 35" but I have no idea if they do ridiculously narrow string spacing.

Excellent piece.

Aaaaargh!!! I've been looking for one of those since I tried Silverfoxnik's last summer. Did they have another one in stock?

Anyone in the West Country recently had a Cort 5-string nicked?

Would now be a good moment to enquire as to the future of your Kasuga?

I hardly ever eat too much of that stuff, turns my tongue black.

A Compact-sized cab with a padded top, a footrest, and an adjustable back-rest. A drinks holder would be good. Edit: And a built-in bass holder for use during breaks. Edit 2: And maybe a phone charger?

It's the definition of "groove" according to Wikipaedia. I figured you'd all sleep better for knowing that.

[quote name='AntLockyer' timestamp='1429554969' post='2752594'] Buy a P bass? [/quote] Or at least try one - see if you can borrow one for an evening. If that's not your thang, then definitely try putting on a set of flatwound strings. That almost invariably beefs up the sound without necessarily changing the fundamental tone of the bass. Flats are relatively expensive but they last for ever so they're good value in the long run. Again, see if you can borrow a bass fitted with flats first ... not everyone gets on with them. If you're mainly playing at home, and through headphones, you really don't need to be faffing about with preamps, boosters and EQ pedals!
