I just want a super good portable di that doesn't cost 2k ... I'll check that and the shootout ... Ideally I'd have the rooster or the noble

Interesting 🤔

Yeah I know... Thing is I need something "good" and portable that doesn't cost 2k. I would go with the noble if it wasn't that price... I'm sure it was 1k a year or so ago...

Hellow So need a great portable pre to take to recordings. In my studio I use a valve pre by thermionic culture called The Rooster which is amazing but it's not portable most of the time. So... Looking about... The Noble pre seems to have gone up by 1K since the last time I looked.... The jf Capo seems like the one... 20 weeks wait though.... Is it worth it? Let me know what you think Thanks in advance D

lil update My P5 has been behaving well in rehearsals so far and i’ve been getting comfortable with the extra string, in fact, i’ve been missing the opportunity to play in the lower Db register when playing my 4s for example… The only issue i’m having with this bass is the weight… however -- the tour i’m doing includes heading up to Glasgow and there’s a Mercalli 5 in stock at the Guitar store… i’m gonna pay them a visit do a lill comparison… whom knows i may resist depending on how that goes

Hey Simon I had this dilemma... From the research I did, it turned out hard to get the reunion blues dual bass case (in Europe) but it looks like the best one... I ended up buying the mono one and, being that it's also more expensive I find it to be the not quite good enough choice... It's true I haven't seen or tried the RB one but the mono one is disappointing... I have the single vertigo and I find that more convincing... That said I put it in the hold a few days ago and it all went ok... I think they have the dual RB at Anderson's tho

Okkkkkk!!!

I know someone is asking this question the other way round... I basically find the jazz neck uncomfortable, too small, strings too close... But I like the pickup config! So makes sense to me that ther should be pickup configs with the P neck ... Anyone know if there are? If so, what/where? Thanks! D

found one that fits! thank you all!

okkk... some hope there... i will look for some other sizes... this is a Chinese made Telecaster btw 2012 i believe...

Is it possible that a Fender bass would have a non standard sized truss rod? I put the alan key i use for other basses and it just falls in without grip as if it’s bigger or smaller… bit confused. Basically are all truss rods the same on any model and does the description above sound like the truss rod is broken? Peace and thank you D

Hey Jack 8 years ago I was operated on my left (fretting hand) index finger tip to remove a melanoma (skin cancer). They replaced my nail and part of my index finger with skin from my arm. I was very afraid and frustrated, but, while there are some technical things I can't really do with that finger I am still playing bass and drums and enjoying a lot. You'll adapt to find a way around it I'm sure. Sending you peacefulness and positivity 💫 Dave

Desperate people

I got one of these, fell for it ... Managed to step out right at the end but had to cancel all my cards... Annoying but quite obviously a scam.. was not thinking straight

so do you literally put the whole string in a boiling pan of water on the stove? How long for?

What about the whole boiling them thing? I think I heard it first from Mike Mondesir. Supposedly gets the zing back. Anyone tried that?

Thanks everyone, so it looks like mostly we're saying they're good for the money, good and reliable for live if you need amplification, some don't like how they look. Barefaced might be better for some but it's down to taste (they certainly seem to hit the lighter spot) but generally, for the money they seem pretty decent. I'm recording valve di usually so the reliability of a live show where I'm not on iem is the one... I appreciate your time!

Interesting. What are you using now if I may ask?

Hey, So my gallien krueger mb112 is turning out to be pretty unreliable, and I'm looking to get a light 15" cab to go with my Ampeg portaflex 500 head. I'm in Europe otherwise I'd be hitting up Barefaced. I'm looking at Thomann.. lots of mark bass options around 15kg. I'm wondering because I always heard great bass players I worked with and that I respect hating on Mark bass. Any info on what that's about? Is it still a thing? Any thoughts on why I shouldn't get a mark bass cab? Thanks!

Very nice! PJ is the way 👌

next level haha
