I bought this a few months ago from @ead and I'm moving it on. I'm buying a Marcus Miller V and I've only got room for the one! J Type 5 It comes with a Black, Black pearloid, AND a new While Pearloid pickguard, and a really good padded gigbag too. It sounds brilliant and the B string is to die for, but I've been after the Marcus for ages and I'm sacrificing this one!

Hagstrom Swede or Ibanez AGB 200. Which one would you choose?

I've got a Chowny. I love it. -
Never really tried them. I tried some La Bella ones years ago and didn't get on with them at all. A month or so ago, I bought a bass from @ead of this parish, and when I was in his house he very graciously let me try a heavily reliced tele bass with flatwounds on. It was a revelation. I bought some Rotosound Flatwounds and put them on my 4 string Limelight Jazz. Had my second gig with them on tonight and I'm sold. I feel slinkier? Is that a word? I play very staccato funk type stuff with this band and I've always chased a kind of Marcus Miller tone (the Little Marcus Head and Cab just scream that tbh) and bizarrely, this is the closed I've got to it in feel I think. Obvs the tone is different, but I'm still happy. I sound like me. Isn't that what we're all after? Anyway, flatwounds FTW.

I managed to fix it last night. I played it with the control cavity open until it did it again. I then just poked around inside to see what impact it had. The Bass/Treble/Mid controls are all on the same pcb with pin connectors. The pins were apparently a little bit loose. It pulled them of then reseated them and it has stopped happening. I took it to rehearsal this morning and played for two hours without it reoccurring. Thanks for your suggestions guys!

Right, I've got an ACG with an Easy Uni-Pre 4k in it. I can plug it in, and play for about 15 ish minutes, and then it just fades out. Pulling the tone to passive works but when I switch it back to active, it stays off. Removing the lead and then putting it back in fixes it for another 10 or so minutes. Also, I can make it do it sometimes by pulling the Bright pot to on. I thought it was the battery, but I've changed that to no avail. Any ideas?

Bought an ACG Jazz from Alain today. Marvellous all round, an absolute pleasure to deal with. D6

3 hours straight of funk and soul. God I love my wireless gear. Bass and IEMs.

I was nervous as hell on the day before, but was ok on the day itself. Had a nightmare just before hand where my wireless rig was getting too much interference, so I had to go wired at the last minute.

Our last gig before this was about 250 people at Edinburgh Jazz Bar on Burns Night 2020. Amazing gig, just going to be a different vibe this one!
