@acidbass I've asked two friends living and playing in Brussels, but for now, the only answer I have is this society, which seems to be the only one remaining in Brussels city... Poor offer I know, but Brussels has never been a good place for musicians to hire backline. So here's the link: https://locinstrum.be/ The son of one these friends is into events management (and a musician too) so I'm waiting for his answer. 🤞

I've been listening to this live video many times, it's so groovy, but I never noticed this mistake. But this are good news: Anthony Jackson is human! 😉

I could return them, but I love the D'Appolito speakers configuration and the offer is only for the iLoud Precision 5 or 6, not the high end Precision MTM, otherwise it would have been done tomorrow. 😉

Oops, just bought a pair of iLoud MTM MkII last week. 🤦🏻 Excellent speakers when calibrated that said (you'll have to install the new firmware version of the monitors first, using the provided X-Monitor software). Calibration is fast and easy compared to my Lyngdorf RoomPerfect system and the results are as good.

Best review ever!

These days I only play sixers basses and all have a 34 inches scale, but are also all luthier made basses: the low B is just excellent as well as the high C. I've played 33 inches scale basses that had a terrific low B, but again they were luthier basses and I played a lot of 35 inches scale basses with a terrible low B, but most of these were mass production instruments. Is there a link between the quality of the low B and the quality of the craftsmanship: of course.

@Allaboutthebass check this, amazing bass for the money and it ticks all your boxes, furthermore it was made in Japan: https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/yamaha-trb5-mkii-5-string-bass/1491099802

Some nice instruments there, but a lot of dire at delirious prices... That Peavey Tim Landers fiver is an amazing bass at a quite correct price tag.

I truly think you can always discuss them before the instruments and the seller. 😉 The SBMM Joe Dart is at the price he paid for it, for instance, when most people are trying to sell them way more, and it's a terrific bass (I bought one too when they were announced/available).

@Allaboutthebass look here and the collection this guy is selling: https://www.gumtree.com/search?search_category=all&q=Bass guitar&search_term_populated_by=input&keyword_correction=auto&search_location=Ashton-under-Lyne There's no scam, you can see the comments here:

Don't forget second hand luthier basses as their value is always very low compared to their new price. Worth having a look at the "Bass for sale" section here as there are a lot of excellent instruments in your price tag or even lower. GLWYQ (Good luck with your quest).

Don't forget to ground the 3 cavities after shielding them. 😉

I think that nobody saw that @carlsim needs some 5 strings pickups...

There you have your explanation @Baloney Balderdash.

Better grounding from 1973 on as it's not relying solely on the poor contact with the aluminium shielding since wires are now soldered to the ground @Steve Browning. The capacitor is simply easier to solder and less prone to grounding a lug from 1973 on, hence a quicker installation time and a more reliable wiring.

Here are the two wiring diagrams, 1973 being a pivot year for this.

Already did : Impulse Response sampling.

Lovely bass, waiting for the full specs!

Do I dare? Yes, I do. Shuker Baby Love. I already have my coat. 🤷🤦🏻

It's not that at all, otherwise you could reproduce it easily with a full parametric EQ, a compressor and a reverb, which is absolutely not the case. There are way more parameters in an Impulse Response sampling, and these last 3 words are way more closer to what it really is than your definition attempt.

Found the answer here:

The flat wound T.I.'s are a bit stiffer than the round wound ones, and the feeling under the fingers is, of course, different, but you can sense that they are made quite the same way.

@JPJ Which IR's do you use? https://www.3sigmaaudio.com/items/category/upright-basses/

In fact, the right quote should be: Jaco only needed one shrink.
