I like the clean new look so thank you for the effort that's been put in. My No 1 link is always 'New Posts' and I can't find it, can anyone help me here? Edited to say 'View New Content' - found it Peter

If you buy something in good faith for a reasonable price in an open market (i.e not down the pub) it isn't 'receiving stolen goods'. If you've bought something as above you may also have a right to claim a stake in it.

Covers made for my Ashdown Classic Neo cabs and they arrived quickly, look ace and fit like the proverbial glove. I noticed the image above had an logo stitch in - is that a new service they offer?!?[/quote] That one is a bespoke cover for EAD cabs. It's what comes with the cab - a nice touch. I'm sure Bryn would do something for you though. Peter

I had Roqsolid covers on both my EA cabs and they were great. I have only heard good things about them and Bryn's customer service from Dave Perry and his Foundation range of cabs come with them for no extra cost. I'm awaiting mine and it will look like this I believe:

I've a JM5. I've experience of too many bases (I once owned over 20 but I'm alright now). They are very well made indeed and deserve to be held in higher esteem imo. Tone wise with the M pickup in single coil and the bridge pup in use it is the best sounding jazz I've heard in a warm way. It has plenty of low mids to cut through in a gigging situation. Putting the bridge pup into MM mode and blending to it results in a much more aggressive tone. It stays in tune really well and the neck is very stable. I'm selling mine soon but because I've just bought my white Sterling 5. I wouldn't say that the Sterling is actually better, just different. You can't go wrong with them imo and I've not heard anything negative about them Peter

[quote name='JMT3781' post='1369578' date='Sep 11 2011, 04:57 PM']does it go in one of the stacked knobs, or on the master tone? if so i've already got that spring i think...[/quote] From memory, it goes under a stacked pot. The instructions are online and give details. I understand that it grounds the pot. Peter

[quote name='JMT3781' post='1369560' date='Sep 11 2011, 04:47 PM']i have, was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem, not knocking the product at all, its great, i was more worried about my install abilities lol[/quote] I'm glad you contacted him 1st and sorry if I seemed abrupt. That spring is important btw. Peter

Have you asked the most important person first? i.e. you really should get in touch with John before putting it up here imo You'll find him in the affiliates section. Peter

I would turn the question on it's head and say what's the purpose of a top cut away if your technique is 'good'? Single cuts are heavy if heavy wood is used to make them, just like conventionally styled basses. As for neck rigidity, it must effect tone as the string vibrates, more than nut or fingerboard material would be my guess. I've owned 2, both ACGs and both have been quite light and sounded superb. I think ACG make the nicest looking single cuts too But hey I'm biased - I sold this to Chris as I play a five nowadays Peter

[quote name='Blademan_98' post='1369500' date='Sep 11 2011, 03:55 PM']Also, if your technique is thumb in centre of the neck, you can play them with no problem.[/quote] Absolutely! And the neck/body rigidity is increased if that's an issue for you.

I bought a Kingbass 5 from someone who didn't keep it long. It didn't matter what it sounded like but I struggled to play it, ergonomically it was a nightmare and I do have my basses quite high. The guy I sold it to sold it on in no time at all as he couln't get on with the ergonomics either. The tiny body meant that the neck was shunted left away from my body. I couldn't fret the 1st few strings properly at all and I tried it mounted very high too just like the man himself. I'm 5' 10" and have fairly long arms too, longer than MK's. Definately try one for a reasonable period of time before you buy (I didn't but wouldn't touch another). Peter

[quote name='Bilbo' post='1362734' date='Sep 5 2011, 11:50 AM']Martin Kemp (Eastenders) was the bass player with Spandau Ballet. Those of us over 30 will know this already but younger BCr's may not. For the record, he has had 49 film and tv acting jobs whilst SB produced only 7 albums and was acting before he played bass. I guess that makes him an actor!![/quote] Doesn't he have a murder conviction as well? Or am I confusing him with someone else?
