Time wasters are a pain in the arse but they won't be put off by "no time wasters" because they're muppets. That's part of the problem.

[quote name='roman_sub' timestamp='1443186734' post='2872939'] Are any deko owners having buyer remorse? My acoustic fretless 4 is nice and the only work that needs doing is the high action / nut slot deepening..... Fighting with myself whether I can justify keeping it (too many basses, and others are objectively better instruments)!!! Anyone else have this "problem"? [/quote] I bought one of the Mosrite Baritones. I really like it...but it has two niggles that need me to do actual proper tech work to it and I'm really frustrated with it. I'm tempted to rage-quit it, sell it, and buy a more expensive baritone.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1443006732' post='2871327'] This is why I went down the Maruszczyk route. Fender CS / US Lakland quality, and bespoke, for MIM money. [/quote] Please stop posting pictures of that. My bank manager doesn't like it.

Can you really not get that colour combo on a standard Fender? Wow. Personally if I were going bespoke I'd get a more unusual finish but it's your bass get what you like :-) Enjoy!

Don't play Dakota. Please. If only because you don't want the answer to "what was your first gigging experience" to involve the words "Dakota" or "Stereophonics". Nothing wrong with taking a cheat sheet on stage. I've done it at gigs for songs I was unsure of, you don't need a music stand. Just a piece of A4 paper and a permanent marker, write the chords out nice and big on the page and place it at your feet. If you're only doing one or two songs you'll only need a single sheet and no one in the audience will know its there.

I think these look fantastic and are definitely the kind of thing I could see myself owning in the future. £1000+ is too much for my blood but hopefully it will be a success and the technology will drop in price. The workflow and routing options alone are worth a fair chunk of cash.

My PB50 came today. I've only had about ten minutes with it but I can't find anything at all "wrong" with it. The neck seems straight, the relief is ok, a little bit of fret buzz but I'm heavy handed and that's a common occurance for me and new basses. Lovely bit of wood, the electronics work and it sounds decent. The only things that let it down are a really cheap looking pickguard, the pots are a bit uneven in terms of travel and the tuners are really stiff (but seem to hold tune OK). Hardly a problem on a cheap bass. I'd want to do a more thorough inspection but I reckon I could gig this as is. This also came with a cable, Allen keys, daddario strings, and a Wilkinson pickup... ... and after using my thomann review voucher cost me £8.80 delivered. Blinkin' 'eck.

I've got a Warwick Blue Cab 20 which might fit the bill, if you can find one. Its got a ported 10" cabinet, built-in tilt-back stand, 3 band EQ, passive/active inputs, FX loop, 20W of very nice sound, line out, headphone out, and weighs about 15kg. I bought mine as a practice amp but I reckon it would be ace for use in a small ensemble of woodwinds.

Looks fantastic :-) ... Aren't you the guy who claimed not to like precisions? ;-) I'm waiting on my £8.80 (delivered) Harley Benton arriving. Would be interesting to compare them ;-)

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1442489014' post='2867284'] Got my shipped email at 9pm on Tuesday, wonder if it's travelling with uncle psychosis's bass? [/quote] My shipped email was first thing yesterday. Guessing it'll be delivered on Monday.

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1442396761' post='2866577'] Oh yeah, any mention of that kind of stuff is instant invalidation from me. Somewhere between Germany and the UK... [/quote]

Mine has just been confirmed too. 12 euros delivered. I probably spent more than that on coffee last week!

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1442310709' post='2865879'] was getting prices for an American interested in PB-50 just now. They've just been listed. I got a voucher this morning and no self control. Keenly awaiting confirmation email [/quote] This morning I had a 30 euro voucher. Now I no longer have that voucher.

[quote name='torby' timestamp='1442268096' post='2865708'] I'm trying to get tickets to take my son to the gig in the 3arena in Dublin...[/quote] Modern parenting, eh? My Dad just used to ground me when I was naughty. The threat of being taken to a Muse gig would have kept me compliant for all of my entire teenage years Seriously though, good luck getting tickets. This whole fanclub presale nonsense annoys me but I can see why they do it.

Love the look of these. Matt how does the neck compare to something like an M-2000? ;-) I have absolutely no need for another bass, mind you...

Superlux or the Sennheiser HD202. I recently bought some Superlux HD-681 Evo and they're excellent. I've also owned a pair of HD202 for at least a decade and they're still going strong. Don't think you can go wrong with either.

[quote name='Skybone' timestamp='1441711689' post='2861035'] It does kind of beg the question as to why the USB port was included if you can't edit patches on the computer or use it for recording onto a PC. [/quote] If you could do those things with the little one I think they'd seriously hit sales of the B3.

Looks great. Really nice. I'd love one in sonic blue or shell pink.

I use these Hicon ones: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/hicon_flunderklinkenstecker_winkel.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/hicon_flunderklinkenstecker_winkel.htm[/url] Hicon HI-J63MA05 Angled Jack Really good---two solder tabs (so no faffing about soldering onto the case) and a little plastic sheath to stop the signal connection grounding inside the cover.

I had about 6 lessons with a teacher a couple of years ago. My playing progressed more in those 6 lessons than it had in the 6 years prior to that. A good teacher is invaluable. The trick can be finding a good one.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1441008422' post='2855197'] Bass ... that's the one with four strings, right? [/quote] Only if you're a noob ;-)

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1441093867' post='2855908'] Well I like a pre-amp/DI pedal that gives me some eq for gigs where I`m either using a provided rig, or for emergencies if my own rig goes down. With this in mind I always try to have the DI and my amp being made by the same brand, so I should get the same sound. [/quote] My bass has a 3 band active EQ on it so I'm not that bothered about getting one with EQ. Cheers for the advice folks, reckon it's either the samson or the art.
