Thanks. I've sorted it. Sorry.

I see Mark already has a feedback thread so, would just like to add, I bought a lovely almost brand new Yamaha TRBX305 from Mark, yesterday, exactly as described. His house is warm and he makes a really good coffee! Cheers, Mark!

Ah, I was trying to like from a user name...

Does anyone ever monitor Join My Band?
missis sumner replied to thebrig's topic in General Discussion
I actually got in my first band from JMB... and I'm now on band No. 4. There's probably a whole book to be written there. I'm a little bit sad that it's all settling down now. lol -
How do I leave feedback, these days?

Stolen for Facebook, 😂.

I appreciate that some other basses are quite light as well. If anyone wants to sell me a 5 string that is this light, and is not an EHB, well, let's say I'm open to the suggestion.
-
I have to disagree with this. 5 string basses are always heavier that 4 string basses, of the same type, obviously. But yes, I understand what you mean about some basses being lighter than others. I agree with the rest of your post.

After a work related hand injury about a year ago (thankfully my right hand), I have to play with a pick! lol
-
I know. Extra weight as well. I'm going to persevere with it for the time being though, because switching basses mid-set is just confusing me.

Have you seen the Ibanez EHBs? They are definitely on my watch list. About 3.3kg for a 5 string, I believe.
-
After two weeks of trying to play the 5 string, this has only just started to occur to me. And even though it looks like I'm playing a massive bass, it seems there's less stretch on my little hand if I play above the 5th fret on that B string...

I like Lee Sklar. 😊

I actually tried this with heavier gauge strings on one of my basses. Then I found that although I thought I didn't use that G string very much, I actually did use it quite a lot! 😆
-
Yeah, well, my 4 string did a job on those two songs, but in a higher octave. I just find the lower notes on the 5 string sound better, because that's how those two songs were recorded (Don't Break My Heart Again, Separate Ways (Shallow Side version), so I' now trying to find a use, in the rest of the songs, to not look like a pretentious silly billy. There is also the fact that I can barely play a four string.
-
Am I being pretentious for playing a 5 string bass, when only two songs of my band's set list actually require it? I find I'm fitting some very low notes into Sympathy for the Devil (admittedly, the Motorhead version, so...)... and then finishing some of the songs on a very low octave bass note... I kind of feel like I'm falling into the same trap that my drummer does, when he slows down the ending of... EVERY.... SONG....

Light, great sounding economy 5 string recommendations please
missis sumner replied to Tubster's topic in Bass Guitars
My 5 string Nanyo is not so light, it's a whopping whole 4kg on my suitcase scales. My 4 string Nanyo comes in at 3.4kg. They are both the see-through finish sen bodied versions (forget which series). I need a lighter 5 string, so I'm currently looking at Ibanez EHBs - the question is long or short scale... 🤔 -

Recommend an amp for my Wharfedale 1x15 cab?
missis sumner replied to missis sumner's topic in Amps and Cabs
I think I may be sorted now, with the RM300. Yes, it's bigger... so not as convenient, but does look like it's got a bit more functionality. You know what the next question's going to be though - "Recommend a decent cab for my RM300"... lol But yes, that was my original question. My simple maths was 25% of 350W (I believe that's what the Fender 500 is, without the extension cab) is about 85W, so the TC should have been enough. But again, not sure of these things, having only ever used combos - thought I'd ask!
