    No problem, thanks ever so much for trying. Worth a go!

    That’s very kind and much appreciated.

    Hi. Can you do me a favour? Do you know if the person who took them put the set on a 5 string? I just need a low b so if they’re not using it perhaps I could ask for it? Cheers

    We have a sound bar that's the same. It was great. Until firestick. Now there is off/tooquiet/tooloud .... never been higher than that. It's bloody infuriating.

    They have the coating on the inner wire, so the string your finger makes contact with is not all plasticy. They last a fair bit longer than regular strings but won't be as long wearing as fully coated but honestly, the only coated strings I get on with are Elites and they don't do those in Multiscale.

    Dingwall. I just restrung with the Dragonskin+ nickels after dragon skin black costed SS and there’s more bass- low and low mid - more signal and clarity.

    I just found them too quiet, lacking in bass, scooped and scratchy BUT the ones I'd got were coated so I may be being unfair. This is the irrational thread, of course.

    The ones I got by mistake sound more like cutlery than a bass. I may be missing the point though.

    I have an irrational prejudice against stainless steel strings. Who on earth likes the things?

    I bought these by mistake instead of the Dragonskin+ Nickels and I just can't get on with them. They sound too scooped to my ears and the feel is just too rubbery for my fingers. They've been on my Afterburner and have been cut a with a couple of winds to spare and I've only had them on for a few weeks, but being coated you could get a lot of use out of them. Free to anyone who sends me a stamped, addressed envelope.

    Very underrated instruments, from what I understand.

    I have seen quite a few pros using a Sire. Just the standard cooking models. Very respected.

    Absolutely brilliant. I flipping love a jazz bass, and I adore a matching headstock. Very nice

    I’m afraid I can’t see the pictures.

    Dream bass? Blimey, well, I lust after a 5 string Precision and I’d love one of those Rickenbacker 5 strings they made for a while. A Wal just because they are so iconic. Part of me would love an early 70s Jazz but I’d never play it. I did see someone had made a Dingwall Combustion with a custom body fitted with those Simms type pickups and Luthisand preamp so kind of a DingWal and that should be out of this world. But last year I took receipt of my own Canadian Dingwall made to my requirements and that is my dream bass

    I feel inspired…

    Lobster just did a review of this model and it came off very well indeed. This has a really pretty finish. GLWtTS

    Had a proper conversation with the guitarist. He was very understanding - he's known for a long time that the band wasn't my vibe BUT we're going to do a few open mics as a sort of accoustic duo with him switching between guitar and keys and I can break out the fretless! We do vocalise well so it' ought to be fun...

    Hiya. Curious why this has popped up again from 2023…
  20. kwmlondon
    They are really good! I used to run one with a CMD121 combo and that made an astounding rig. 500w and you could carry half in each hand!

    I hope Dr Showbiz helps you out...

    UPDATE.... I've been trying to play those runs in Immigrant Song with a pick for years. Pretty much every day I've done Ionian on A, Ionian on B and Myxalydian on C and today I got soooo close to being able to play them at full speed along with JPJ! Gaaaah! I'm within touching distance! Seriously though, it's been years getting to this point and I know if I keep plugging at it I'll get there.

    Well... slightly off-topic but still, a bit on. Anyway. The guitarist in one of my bands (a 3 piece - guitar/drums/bass) flat-out asked me if I was still into it and I had to say that I'm really not. I was meant to be going a rehearsal on Tuesday but he's asked to have a chat with me this weekend instead. Truth is, I find it really hard to work with the drummer as she's inconsistent with tempo, very loud too, focused on fills instead of getting the basic beat right and the two of the start fast and speed up. If I was into the material I'd try and work with them but I'm not enjoying the songs - the angular alt-punk thing grates on me after a few numbers. I feel really bad as I enjoy spending time with both but the beers after are much more fun than the music bit. Urgh. This bit of playing music sucks....

    PRICE DROP TO £249!!! It's small, it's light, it's loud and you can do a proper gig with it! I've had this for a few years and it's never had any trouble keeping up with any drummer and even done a good job in a medium-sized pub. I've taken these specs from the Thomann site: New York 121 1 x 12" loudspeaker Piezo tweeter 400 Watt @ 8 Ohm Frequency range: 45 - 18,000 Hz Weight: 13.3 kg (less than 29lb)for people who think in pints and stones Dimensions (WxHxD): 383 x 432 x 358 mm and you can find reviews here https://www.thomann.co.uk/markbass_new_york_121.htm and here https://www.andertons.co.uk/markbass-new-york-ny121-1x12-bass-cab/ Condition is pretty darn good. Sounds spot-on, the fuzzy covering is in lovely nick (I'm not going to pretend its from a pet-free home but it's avoided any attention from the cat due to being kept under it's lovely sunggly cover for it's life with me when not use). The tweeter works too. I am very, very happy to demo it at mine in New Cross, London SE14, or I'll bring it to you when I'm in work near Euston but it's heavy enough to be annoying carrying it so when I've taken it to gigs I've wheeled it behind me on a trolley (I've done a few with my rig and bass coming with me on the London underground or a bus). I am perfectly happy to post it as I've got plenty of packing materials and it's a sturdy little thing. I'm not really looking for trades as I've got more basses than I have space for, I dont need an amp or cabs - again, no space really - and I'm covered when it comes to pedals. I would take a high quality power block as a trade in though, one that has proper discrete supplies and can power at least one 500ma item. Maybe a slightlly bigger pedal board thing - the one I've got is diddy. Any questions please reach out and I'll be happy to help.

    I bought from James - great to deal with. Superb transaction from start to finish with great comms, well packaged item and it arrived super-quick. Thanks!
