These look great to me. Not sure I'll buy one, mind.

No opinion on the instruments because I've never seen one but in the internet age that's a terrible piece of branding. Good luck googling that name!

... I know how you all like resolution. In the end after much indecision and going round in circles I decided I really wanted something with a slim neck, relatively light, could do precision sounds but wasn't a one trick pony, and ideally short or at least medium scale. I ummed and ahhed about just buying a CV Mustang but reports of patchy QC put me off and I think as a "one bass to do everything" guy it would be slightly limited. At some point I may pick up a second hand one. Then I strongly considered something like a P special, but they're all 34" scale. The Sire options look cool but something about them doesn't float my boat. Instead I kept coming back round to the Ibanez mezzo bass, specifically the five string one. The aesthetic grew on me, it ticks all my boxes, and I've not heard a bad word about them. So, job done. Just need to wait for stock to hit these shores now...

Sounds good but I just don't think I can cope with the aesthetic.

Any models in particular? I want a jazz neck...

Hey all, Whats the collected wisdom on the best value sub £500 jazz models out there? Is Squier Classic Vibe where its at or are there better things out there? I also quite like the look of the Squier Contemporary Series - not convinced by the odd pickups on the active ones though.

I can't decide if that's amazing or hideous 😄 Will definitely check it out, thanks.

Thanks guys. The Talman is cool as, thanks for that. Does a Stingray do a decent P bass impression? I'm sceptical to be honest. Mini-P-bass is a cool idea but I'm not convinced about the execution. Any thoughts on the various Mustang flavours out there? On paper the CV looks great but hard to find real world reviews.

Hi all, Happy New Year to you all. Help me make a shortlist... Short scale (32“ or less) Sounds like a P bass (other tones a bonus) Vintage styling a preference Absolutely not sunburst Less than £600 Go.

https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/electric-guitar-amps/amp-simulators/fender-tone-master-twin-reverb-2x12-guitar-amp-combo The amp the OP asked for (admittedly, years ago) now pretty much exists. It looks like a twin, it (supposedly) sounds like a twin, but it weighs like a modelling amp (because it is). There's a Deluxe Reverb one too.

For what you need it for, Red, wouldn't a five or six string bass with skinny strings work?

It's got different features to the minilogue. I think they're fairly similar but you're right that it's not a matter of "if you could afford the minilogue buy that instead".

Any Monologue owners/users here? I have recently got the synth bug and I've started off with a few Volcas---these are fun, but given that I now need a keyboard I've started looking at getting myself a more fully featured analogue synth. The idea is mainly just to do some sequencing and recording for my own amusement. Any opinions on the Monologue? Obviously in this price range the Microbrute and the Bass Station 2 get mentioned but those don't appeal as much. That said, I'm open to hearing opinions...

Catalinbread SFT for me. Love it for that overdriven valve tone.

For what it's worth the SFT is a bloody great pedal. In my experience it doesn't need the blend either.

Good stuff, really like the production and the mix - whole band sounds great. Love the video for the b-side in particular.

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1505302001' post='3370839'] Queen maybe? I'm sure someone will disagree though - that's what the internet is for [/quote] Queen were sh*te. Here to help

[quote name='Jack' timestamp='1504962996' post='3368592'] Bumping this to see if anyone has any more thoughts. I found it as I'm concerned about my 8ms Smoothhound working with a planned purchase of a "Less than 7ms" GK Plex.... [/quote] There's no way 15ms when playing a bass will be an issue. 15ms is about the shortest latency anyone can really detect. It's like moving a few meters further away from your amp. No big deal.

That's cool. Good work.

The Catalinbread SFT is very nice. I like mine a lot.

If they're bolt-on necks then take the neck off and put them in a suitcase. Other than that you're probably looking at either proper flight cases in the hold of an aircraft or getting them shipped over freight. Anyone I've ever known who emigrated across the Atlantic found that shipping via sea worked out as the best balance of price to volume.

Somebody did a similar thing with Losing My Religion by REM and made it major, not minor. I think it sounds great. https://youtu.be/w_KMQ_XqaCw

Bought a pedal from Chris: arrived incredibly quickly, in the condition he said it was in and well packed. Many thanks.

Big shout out to Dave who did me a great deal on an interface. Thanks!
