As @ghostwheel says. Please last line of post 1. then go to the back of the class and write “I must pay attention” in italics 100 times. And no pudding for you…

@Lozz196 I really enjoyed that, (hated the original) with the two singers giving it their all -the guy is hitting most of the same notes as the young lady is.

If @ghostwheel you had experienced my moment of joy at the discovery of two iconic bass sounds in one nice instrument you would not call me a rationalist These are my settings, switch set to passive, three knobs to right are the active control (my p bass approximation) hope this helps someone two knobs to left are jazz bass approximation (tone is stacked on volume)

Why take two basses when you only need one?

The battery went flat (my fault) and I wanted to check active mode worked after putting new batteries in I knew that the passive mode does a fairly good jazz bass sound but switching to active with it’s totally separate tone control (para mid eq plus treble plus bass) you can get a fairly good p bass tone. the levels are about the same, so I can switch the two sounds instantly using the active switch and it’s a 5

Or a cloth

Try waving a magnet around, particularly in corners

Could I please hold fire on payment until I see how the employment thing pans out ? Happy with 13£ though

I just use a zoom b2

#spiritofbasschat -always innovating @ped cheque please

If you were using a capo would you need the low B? otherwise agree 100%

Let me tell you a story … years ago I tried 5 string and I totally didn’t get it. I sold that aria magna 5 i bought a sire v7 5 and it just worked … but my thoughts also changed to what actually worked don’t buy a 5 string expecting to use those low notes, that opportunity will be vanishingly rare use that low string only when you realise that you’d need to use open strings on a four string example : teenaged dirtbag e a b a using open strings it is a muting nightmare but playing accross from fret 5 of b string, it is not and you can easily shift up or down to suit the singer

I echo this as I have been fortunate enough to hold one of these marvellous creations @Jabba_the_gut you might also like the work of @Simo

Especially if that something is a belt 👍

Yes, those pesky children and their ridiculous demands for food, clothes, warmth and shelter. I mean WTF is that all about.? 🤷‍♂️

My point was that you can make it sound p bass like. Think outside of the box

V7 isn’t - Theres a green one in marketplace take a look

Sire v7 5 i have stopped playing anything else. Gets very low action with narrow spacing it is jazz-ish but you can get a p sound in passive mode if you fiddle

I’m uncertain, but it’s possible given @Richard R and his gracious offer of a lift I had been made redundant but am in a grace period for reinstatement so was going to be a NO for financial reasons but if Mondays chat with their recruiter (who contacted me) goes well it may be possible after all

For a dolls-house? Judging by the flannel just in-shot that looks about as big as the wood block

And here, where you’re just a junior Or perhaps in the House of Lords

I’ve never had it, but with some sauce and some pepper it sounds ok? It’s not that far off bubble and squeak

Not carrying a gun? small portions? International travel?

I was in Morrisons and this geezer kept apologising for each time that he kept reaching in front of me. Polite… but he stank like a corpse dipped in brine and coated in liquid dead guitarist with chocolate sprinkles - my thought was “jeez, soap is neither expensive nor a second thought, dude” Hang on .. you said “irrational”
