It is just as well that I no longer have a spare 5 string neck. I do not think I could stop myself. Those are lush.

I had a body built and specced black walnut. It turns out that black walnut and walnut are not the same thing. The bass is lovely, but it was an expensive lesson.

Same

Any further thoughts from anyone? @KiOgon?

<swoon>

That was my 1st port of call. But thanks:)

I have an EV RE20 which is not happy. I need it looked at and repaired. I have seen some vids on YT but my DIY track record is appalling. Can anyone suggest trustworthy and reliable Mic repair bods? TIA

Clive Brown's name pops up now and again. He is clearly revered. Very little info out there.

If it is copyrighted, they do. You can bet that pharmaceutical companies don't say "no worries everyone, crack on using our stuff, it is a gift because that is who we are" Choose any large industry you want and insert it in to that sentence. Yes, writing a song which is a hit might only take 30 minutes. But the work to get to that point is not trivial.

Many of my Neutrik/decent cable leads are older than this millennium. There is little point in using anything cheaper. Of course, there are other equally good options, but decent quality costs. But it is always cheaper in the long run. One question, how are you winding/storing yours?

Ah well.

Everyone likes some feline finish on their bass, no?

I have a US one (which I am selling, but it is a bit niche). I have no problems at all with the B. I am fully aware that I WOULD say that given the circumstances, but hope that I have been around long enough for my word to at least mean something. It is strung with Newtone round core nickels, and the B speaks with the same sound and tension as the rest.
