What strings did you use for the flats? Id be looking to do the same

I sorta love it! It's waaaay outside my price range of 200 euros

Had a talman shorty, very impressed. My daughter stole it while moving out 😅

What do you do for strings? Short scale ok or cutting down? Tbh this for a season of busy work, to have a grab and go bag, mini bass, bdi21, clip on tuner and di cable

Looks like a limited run 😕

God no, it's making travelling as easy as possible, the bus is cramped and I wouldn't dare bring my normal gig bag / j bass with me on it

Around and under 200 quid. If it's a gig bag on a bus, I don't want to be worried about dings I didn't know Harley benton offered a mini, Need to check out string availability

Long story short I'm looking at picking up a smaller bass to bring with me on a tram and a couch ride (to and from work) to get to practice. I want to keep it on the cheaper side so no mayones mini bass here. If I can order it direct the better as waiting for a 2nd hand item local is a pain. Debating between the following 1. Harley benton pb shorty 30" scale 2. J&d short scale bass 29" scale 3. Flight mini bass 3 u bass I'm not sure if the difference of 30 Vs 29 inch scales would impact string choice either. Is there anything I haven't thought of?

Seemingly Irish s/h prices are mental, 300 euros for a second hand sr300😭 Last year I managed to pick up a Harley benton deluxe gotoh with foam case and flats for 130 which is amazing in both price and fit and finish, it's my most gigged bass as my atk sits on the stand. I'm buying my son his own and he's firm on wanting a j style bass

Id buy it

Seen a Yamaha TRBX174EW come up in local ads for 175 euros. I figured that's an ok price right? Vs buying a new Harley benton j bass

Love morphine! One upon a time I converted an old vintage sg into a two string bass ala the presidents of the USA. Why did I ever sell it 😭

Between the likes of squier and Harley benton etc which budget bass is your go to recommendation for a new player, keeping price as low as possible I know it's partly luck of the draw / bit of setup is needed here and there, avoiding the 2nd hand market, just looking at something I can order direct. Squier sonic Vs Harley benton pb 20

I'm debating one for my son (hes looking for his own bass for an upcoming birthday) Compared to the fender rumble 15 it seems quite feature packed. Hopefully someone takes a punt on one and reports back

@jf56hawk thanks a million, that's my answer. Got flats on my j bass for the last year with no change coming up 😐

I'm half tempted by the bamboo u bass on thomann. Looking for something to bring to work on public transport then off on a bus to a pub jam

Hey u bass players. How long do a set of aquila strings last? I'm debating one of the bamboo u bass from thomann for easy transport.

Just an update, that focusrite is probably one of the best purchases I've made.

Alright so my zoom is still going after taking it apart and a rejig! In the meantime I picked up a focusrite interface, this is a while new world!! The free stuff sounds great

I had one and returned it, could to set the streamed audio Vs the guitar volume without just turning everything down

I might have a look at the volt, I'm sorta scared by the audio interface route being a little less plug and play but I realise the flexibility is there

Hey all Any opinions on the Avalon Vs the Scylla?

I don't own a audio interface, I was hoping to use the tonex one as one. Is that still doable or is it a world of pain?
