    Appreciate the explanation. Does this apply to certain genres more commonly? I've never heard the song Slither before so I YouTubed it. Admittedly it's a genre that I don't listen to or play so it was all new to me.
  2. Terry M.
    Awful or just different? It seemingly still pleased the crowd?
  3. Terry M.
    I genuinely don't understand what this means. If every note in the bassline features on the fretboard (of a 5 string in standard tuning) how is it impossible? I'm not being deliberately obtuse here,in fact I might learn something.

    The low B is there to be used. I use it in church a lot 😊
  5. Terry M.
    Okay but the 6th fret on the A string is nearer?
  6. Terry M.
    Can this be explained please? Why would there be reliance on open strings in Eb on a 5 string? Genuine ignorance so please bear with me 😊
  7. Terry M.
    Option 2. Bearing in mind I don't play 4 strings anymore. Having a low B isn't just about the 5 extra notes however. It can be used for economic (movement) reasons also.

    My take on this is any bass can be used for any genre as long as you bond with it. Ultimately the bass does whatever you tell it to. I know others may disagree and feel for example if you play genre X then you need to play bass Y. I say bond with the feel and sound of a bass and it doesn't matter. My opinion only 😊

    I really notice the real estate on my Fender 4+1 headstock when I pack it in my Warwick gig bag. It's my preferred bag when on public transport as the top of the bass doesn't sit a mile over my head. I like my Fender but the headstocks (compared to my Warwick 3+2) looks unnecessarily huge 😄

    If I'm being honest it's got quite some weight to it. I would say a padded 4" strap may help things though. I had it on my lap with no strap.

    Is it a big job? Having played the bass I feel it's the reason it's still unsold. It's a decent axe.

    I think the upshot was it would have featured in the wood before production rather than afterwards. No idea myself either way 🤷‍♂️

    I played this in Bass Direct some weeks back. Aside from the pin holes I thought it was a decent bass. They weren't sure what could have caused it.
  14. Terry M.
    Yes to this. In fact I've just got a used Mexican Fender Player Plus V modded with a Sadowsky on-board preamp and so far I'm very pleased with it. Nothing wrong with it at all.

    Done. Good luck with your studies and bass future.

    You definitely have options at least ☺️

    That's EXACTLY why I bought it ☺️
  19. Terry M.
    Oh discontinued? Shame. But then I'm going back about 12 years now or so.DIY is NOT my strong point if I'm being honest but if you're handy enough why not give it a go?
  20. Terry M.
    Really good. I had zero problems with it personally. Did the job and was a brand match.

    And you can see the words "I agree to them being outlawed?" I was agreeing to the overall sentiment of not being a fan of relicing. The outlaw reference was clearly meant in a non-literal sense just to illustrate the point. And it's me that needs to keep up huh?
  23. Terry M.
    Show me where I actually said that? Please try to keep up.
  24. Terry M.
    How about you stick to buying new but reliced instruments and I stick to buying new gear that looks new? Everybody ends up happy.

    I don't remember either of us saying we didn't like a bit of patina? 🤔
