Wow that’s different, I’m having trouble seeing how the strings follow the fretboard, probably easier to see when you’re playing it 

You cant see the upper part of the fretboard !!

How does it feel? It hurts my eyes but it's intriguing! 

I gig the Torzal yesterday 2.5hr gig. 

The sound eng was happy with the powerful tone (no twisted notes..ha)

I sing so have to rely on knowing position...forgot it was different...any errors would have been made with any bass

As mentioned before going from 30" to this 34" scale..felt identical

End of gig no wrist ace...and surprisingly no splits in plucking fingers. Thingking about this afterwards...I think the way it makes you flatten your hand, makes you stroke or pluck softly

The only issue - the action was to low !

That is such a fascinating concept. Next time I'm at Bass Direct I'll have to try one out for curiosity.

They've been around for a few years so clearly they sell in sufficient numbers, and if that means people with hand injuries or conditions can keep playing, then that is fantastic.

 

There's not enough knowledge about alternative design instruments for players who have different abilities. I saw a thing on a flute maker who was making instruments for people with limited arm strength / movement. It was a challenge to get the right tone and range for a flute but using a far different shape.

34" scale feel like short scale!!!

I only play ss bases, 26.5"...30" 30.5" 

But I tried this and because of the small body and where it sits, it feels like a ss...but its 34"

35 degree twist (25* neck & 10* body)

After 10 min playing & not looking down ...you cant see the top of the neck...I feel ready to do a gig tomorrow...what could go wrong ...ha

Ooh, I like that. That ball joint is quite useful.

I've come across these before, from DAP (just reverse the clip to change the orientation of the XLR). Nice solution but obviously, it's not quick release, so becomes part of the XLR.

I don't personally like having something without a volume control on my belt though - but each to their own. (So even if I had a dedicated amp, I'd want a volume control post that). Again, what works for you and all that. 

£85   !!!!!!!

I thought I would share a device that may help those using or contemplating wired IEM's. Its a simple torch belt clip but has been ideal and we have used for over 4 years without an issue

See pic's:  the diameter for the torch (it not round) is a perfect tight fit for the Neutrik locking stereo 1/4" female jack socket NJ3FC6. The ball join helps direction of the cable & the substantial clip fits into rear pockets or belt. It cost ~£9  (cheaper from Led torch)

Hope this helps!
