You might consider string spacing as well, which indirectly influence on the width of the fretboard. I briefly owned an Ibanez SR306, that i tuned low D, as in 2 half steps bellow regular 4 string bass E standard tuning, to high D#, and for the money it's an amazing bass, but, combined with the fact of being used to play short scale bass, I just couldn't get along with the wide fretboard, despite string spacing only being 16.5mm. I can't possibly tell you whether you need a low B or low E will be all you need, but if I was you, which I wasn't last I checked, I'd go for a 5 string with 16.5mm string spacing, and preferably medium or short scale (though I realize that doesn't leave many options). My current main instrument of choice is a just 28.6" scale 5 string Ibanez GSRM25 Mikro Bass, tuned to G standard tuning, as in 3 half steps above the upper 5 strings of a 6 string bass tuned in regular B standard tuning.

Why so? Edit!!!: Yeah, right, got it, technically, if average would be around 50%, but that means absolutely nothing in reality in regards of the issue discusses.

I would love to have one of these, or the 50W PF-50T version. Love the fact that it got a transformer DI out, meaning you get the full poweramp and transformer sound from that DI, and could just run it into a poweramp if the relatively low wattage of the amp is not enough, but still have the sound of the full amp. I actually once owned a 60W Ampeg B-15, the 1968 version of the B-15S, which I very much regret being stupid enough to sell, it was a phenomenal amp. And despite its age, and taking quite a bit of abuse in the about 12 years period where I owned it, I never had any issues whatsoever with it. Congratulations! Edit!!!: Also these amps look damn cool, got to be the coolest amp design ever!

I suppose you got a fair point there, at least as the system works now, just look at the US.

From different, strictly logical, perspective popularity will always be a strictly quantitative parameter/statement, and can never be a qualitative parameter/statement.

Pizza with chicken, mushrooms and green and red pepper fruit, eventual with chili (the kind that is chili flakes and seeds in oil) as well (and of course including the basic tomato sauce and cheese as well), is my go to pizza, and absolutely delicious.

"Law of Jante", here in Denmark, as also mentioned in that Wiki article.

I don't get Einstein. And I am pretty sure his Theory of Relativity is just nonsense. For sure quantum mechanics are, even a ten years old can tell that. Why try so hard to be clever?

You forget that in many a bass players view here bass being anything but root notes is considered unnecessary flashy meaningless noise and heresy, regardless if it serves the song or not, according to these people it is simply by definition not possible to groove if you play more than just 1 note, and all songs should groove, if not they are simply by definition to be categorized as meaningless noise!

Wouldn't make much sense in the context though, would it? Beside I was right:

Very cool. Congratulations. Though it seems to also be missing one of the intonation things, for the high G string. I am strongly considering buying the fretless Harley Benton take of the Violin/Beatles Bass, sounds phenomenal on the YouTube demo I watched, even if having been recorded DI, without anything further done to the signal.

I am not entirely certain, but my best guess is that "KG" is referring to the official abbreviation of Kilogram (measurement unit for mass aka weight), and combined with the "-up" a reference to your weight going up, due to intake of McDonald's food.

Which is 30" scale, 38mm nut width, not 34", 42mm nut width! Not that that makes it any less a real bass...

With clips of them playing all root notes, to display their true "greatness"? So he should have chosen 10 second clips of all of them playing nothing but root notes?

On a more serious note, I can totally get behind this list.

What did you did? Diddle liddle dee, dum Did you did Diddle liddle dee, dum Dum-dee-dum Did you did Tjuh, HEY!

I wonder why they felt the need to update the drive circuit in the first place, and what went through their heads when they tweaked it and after testing it thought: "Spot on, that's THE tone, definitely a clear improvement, this is bound to be a hit!".

If he was he must have been a genious, inventing the first ever wireless bass system. It's so ridiculous it is cool!

Maybe because he instinctively knew this: Good morning

This is you answer!

Just what I have always been looking for! Instead of joking around though I'd rather they would make the bass equivalent to their Bass9 Bass Machine, for guitar to sound like a bass, the Guitar9 Guitar Machine, for bass to sound like a guitar.

Hated that one, no matter which Toneprint I use, or how much I tweaked it, send it back. Best phaser ever is the original big box EHX Small Stone phaser, but the Behringer clone, the VP1 Vintage Phaser does an amazing job at sounding just like it, better than EHX's own Nano reissue.

Then show the huge man Stanley Clarke with his huge hands and petite 30" short scale main electric bass and what he can do with that, as well.

I think the bad reviews might primarily concern the early Chinese made ones, the quality went considerably up when production moved to the Cort factory in Indonesia. That's right, Cort makes these basses now for Ibanez, and the quality is pretty consistently great, even pretty amazing considering the price point. As for the weight I have little idea as to the current production, since they have changed body and fretboard wood types since mine were made.
