    Surely the question to be asked is: Open E or Fretted B? I'm swaying toward the latter

    Capo?? I use my fretting hand and my elbow. Works as good as can be for me.

    [quote name='witterth' post='603530' date='Sep 20 2009, 01:07 PM']I was just worried I'd peed someone off! didnt mean to!!!soz chaps![/quote] I suspect it's the usual limits to written communication that caused my annoyance i.e. it's my problem. You probably said the comment in good humour and I interpreted it as a bombastic arrogant statement of fact. Such is the nature of these things sometimes and I meant no offence either. Whatever floats your boat, there's more important aspects to a bass methinks than the number of strings on it. Peter

    A bump for the Boss ME-20B. These pedals are fairly new and get great reviews. Traditional Boss quality with volume/Wah pedal and MP3 mini jack input with headphones which make it an ideal unit for practice away from home. As new condition, boxed with manual £85 incl UK P&P. This is a real bargain. [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Effects/product/Boss/ME-20B/10/1"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...oss/ME-20B/10/1[/url]

    I created a poll on BC a while back and it basically confirmed that 4 is still the standard but perhaps 5 is catching up. That's this side of the pond but I suspect the same would be said over there. Interestingly I'm using a 5 now pretty exclusively as swapping between the 2 isn't helping my acclimatisation. Peter

    If that's hole to hole and it's a genuine Comfort strapp and not a copy I'll still have it The strap pin on the Spector is further around.
  9. GreeneKing
    I'll have the Comfort if it's medium Peter

    [quote name='davidmpires' post='602213' date='Sep 18 2009, 01:44 PM']Are you based in Kent by any means? I'm considering changing the tone pump for a pre with cut/boost, but other than that I love my bass, it's just gorgeous.[/quote] The Dale of the Kent is a long way from Kent sadly, over 350 miles.

    A bump and a price reduction on the Boss in light of the other one on sale on BC. Mine is now £85 too, a saving of £55 on new discounted price from Soundslive and a great unit in mint condition. Welcome to try in Kendal. Peter

    Having owned a Euro LX and now an NS I'd say that the NS is worth the extra, but in my case walnut wings gives a deeper sound than the usual maple I believe and the cut and boost pre is better than a Tone Pump. I was playing the NS last night at band practice and was falling ever deeper in love, especially with the bridge pickup growl. Twice as good? Impossible to use that analogy unless the LX was totally pants which it isn't by any means.

    Another favourite Bump to this thread. The Maruszczyk is a absolutely superb bass. The build quality and component level exceeds ANY Fender and imo puts it up with names such as Sadowsky et al. The zero fret makes for a superbly playable neck and the action will go lower than a limbo dancer's thong. The only reason I'm selling it is because I really want to downsize my collection for personal reasons. The choice is either this or the Warmoth goes and I'm aware that the Warmoth due to it's customised nature is probably less saleable. I really don't want to part with this bass for less than I paid for it and it comes with a high quality German semi hard gig bag that the nice man AREA sent it with. The other possible option is that I keep the Maruszczyk as it really is a beauty and part with my Sadowskyised Marcus Miller but having regretted seeing MM's walk out the door before I'm not so inclined to and the Sadowsky pre is something that I want to get into. However this may change if the right offer comes along (The MM is mint too and the original pre is included). The Maruszczyk is actually, if I'm honest, the better bass imo Peter

    I'm glad you get on with the beast DB. These things are so subjective. If we were all drawn to the same bass life would be a bit samey

    I'd love a bass made in the year I was born but..... 54 Precisions are a tad pricey I owned a T-40 for a while and have to say that tonally I was a little disappointed.
  18. GreeneKing
    Pm'd Mikey. The G&L is now provisionally sold. I thought the Maruszczyk would be the 1st to go too. So now, roll up roll up, Maruszczyk or Warmoth. If you're near you're welcome to pop in for a cawfee and try them both out Peter

    Mines up for £100 This is a bargain. And I'm bumping a competitor These sell discounted for £139

    I was very close but.... It looks lovely indeed.

    One word (well two actually). Pyramid Gold

    The Boss is very mint indeed and was bought for headphone practice as the MP3 plugs into the back. Includes a whole host of good quality effects and a Wah/Volume pedal. Sturdily made too. £100 with box and manual. Plus P&P The MXR is a great unit with 3 band EQ, D.I. and distortion that varies from a gentle crunch upwards. The Rebel Head pedal now does it all. £80 with box and manual, plus P&P

    A gentle bump Pedals going into the correct sub forum. Still not tackled the spare room

    I'm a fan of DR Sunbeams, warm and very nice feel too.

    Passive would be light years away It could be done no doubt. But I would say why bother as you can make it sound a whole lot of different things including 'old school'. It does dub to zing very well.
