    I picked up a mint used example recently in the sunburst finish that had been modded with a Sadowsky on-board preamp. I changed the pickguard to tort and it is getting a LOT of my attention lately. I'm liking the 19mm (fraction wider than Fender 5s generally) bridge string spacing on these ones. It's not light though.

    Maybe lock the thread so my brain can move on? 😂

    Takes me that to drive from my home in north London to Bass Direct. It's really not that far. I go there quite a bit 😊

    True. I had a Bongo.

    Actually what gig bag would fit that?
  6. Terry M.
    It never will due to the lack of a neck pickup and the hot active electronics. They're like chalk and cheese.

    Call them or if you're able to bring it in person for Martin to see it. Great chaps but they don't always answer their emails.

    He's not on my radar,never has been 😂

    I continue to learn. I have NEVER witnessed a bassist using a capo before 😊

    This.

    Cool. I've heard of none of those artists you mentioned. This forum is always teaching me new things. When I do slap I thumb mainly fretted notes. Now I'm thinking about it I rarely play open strings (low B excepted). I used them more when I was a 4 string player I think. Playing 5s has really changed how I approach the instrument now.
  12. Terry M.
    Would you consider funk to be riff-based out of interest? I play funk.
  13. Terry M.
    Ah ok. Neither of those genres I play or listen to so this is genuine ignorance on my part.
  14. Terry M.
    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.
  15. Terry M.
    Awful or just different? It seemingly still pleased the crowd?
  16. 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.
  17. Terry M.
    The low B is there to be used. I use it in church a lot 😊
  18. Terry M.
    Okay but the 6th fret on the A string is nearer?
  19. 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 😊
  20. 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.
  21. Terry M.
    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 😊
  22. Terry M.
    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 😄
  23. Terry M.
    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.
  24. Terry M.
    Is it a big job? Having played the bass I feel it's the reason it's still unsold. It's a decent axe.
  25. Terry M.
    I think the upshot was it would have featured in the wood before production rather than afterwards. No idea myself either way 🤷‍♂️
