Is it fretted? I NEED to try a fretted one.
-
From the bottom up C, G, D and A is standard 'cello tuning.
-
My guess would be that the strings on it would be fine to at least get a flavour. The E would go down a 3rd, the A would go down a tone, the D does not move and the G goes up a tone. All things considered, not a huge change in tension.

I have an early Kingston 5. I have owned an awful lot of basses. 35+? I lost count. Many have been eye-wateringly expensive. 90% of them have gone and I still have the Kingston. It is light, the neck is sublime and it is a joy to play. I cannot comment on the more recent ones, but mine is just the bomb.

Bump. STOP LAUGHING! -
I just reviewed everything I have ever bought from Thomann, got a 50 Euro voucher and picked up the BZ 6000 for £180 so I will report back with string spacing.

Bangor? I will get to do this stuff in Bangor? Really? You are messing with my head, surely.

My daughter has outgrown her Flea bass. It is lurid green with a pink scratchplate. 30" scale (is that short scale?). It is in VGC and comes with a gig bag. I will get pics and stuff up later, but am doing this while I remember. Price is to your door.

I have found the knob for the DI level if the next owner wants it! -
[quote name='alembic1989' timestamp='1409074477' post='2536076'] Congrats. I'm a fan of Harley B basses. Just been playing my 6 er....and cured my gas for another bass ( temporarily I suspect). [/quote] Thread derial. Sorry. Is your bass the BZ-6000? If so, what is the string spacing like? Ta.

[quote name='sk8' timestamp='1407962735' post='2525900'] Blueboard is well worth it! [/quote] Is the expression pedal input on the Blueboard for a bog standard http://basschat.co.uk/topic/242160-moog-ep-2-expression-pedal-l25-delivered/ kind of thing or is it some fancy-dan continuous midi controller thang?
-
My exprience is that the GK200mb ran out of headroom quickly, unlike the GK500. I cannot comment on the rest.

Very very yummy.

The Fugue one has gone already and could have gone again. Who knew we were such a bunch of contrapuntalists?
-
I am flogging the definitive book on how to write a fugue here http://basschat.co.uk/topic/243517-books/ if you ever fancied knowing how to write one. I would love to tell you that it got me through my degree, but I failed this unit. However this was more to do with my application than the book itself
-
Just a heads up, like http://basschat.co.uk/topic/243517-books/

[quote name='iiipopes' timestamp='1408213012' post='2528146'] Which set of Spiros? There are at least seven different sets that can be used for jazz pizz, not counting the Red Mitchell quint sets: 4/4 S42 in weich, mittel and stark, 3/4 3885 in weich and mittel, and solos tuned down in both 3/4 and 4/4. [/quote] Ummmm...... it is a long time since I did the Spiro thing, but iirc they were 4/4 Weich. I think.
