Thanks TLD

Fancied one of these but the Thomann web site picture shows the p/up closer to the middle, is it a false image or have they changed the layout?

[/quote] Define "Beginners" bass. If someone starting out has the finance to buy an Alembic,/Stingray/Sadowsky etc' does that make it a "Beginners" bass????

[quote name='Phil-osopher10' timestamp='1361740431' post='1990190'] Personally I think each of the amps are targeting the same market, ie similar in price and power. But I can see how you would think the amps are for beginners and I would probably say you are right! [/quote] So working on that theory, everything made outside of it's original country at a lower cost is for "beginners"? Does it not seem obvious manufacturers produce these items in other countries to lower production costs and therefore entice new custom? A "Beginner" would first purchase a small 10/15 watt practice amp Define "BEGINNER"! Is it the low wattage that defines it as a "beginners" amp?. Any manufacturer would not risk their reputation by selling an "Inferior" product.

I had a set of of the 5 string flatwound delivered on Monday the 11th Jan', put hem on,,,,,,,,,,B string dead and un tuneable, E string dead. Called Strings direct, was promised replacements, still waitin , Used almost every set of strings available over 45 years of playing, and i have to say these are the worst i have ever tried, may have well used wool!!. Do yourself a favour, stay away from Picato, Fender flat wounds are cheaper and better, pity they don't do 5 string sets.
