That coincidence is not that surprising if you know some local history 😂.

I fancy trying one out but don't fancy using Aliexpress, anyone know somewhere in the UK that has them ?

Talking to a random brick, is likely to be as effective.

My band's latest single - recorded on the D-Roc through my Ashdown RM500 https://www.facebook.com/LearnToLie https://www.instagram.com/learntolie/

Wow, to think I nearly bought that bass before you fills me with pride that I defeated the GAS ! I'm also trying to figure myself out by the way, do you have the cheat code ?

You can also swap the middle and neck pickups around (no wiring required, just swap them !) to get a more Jazz style switching option.

They're very robust, you just need a very good eye to ensure OCD appropriate alignment. Cheap enough to buy a few to choose between also.

Well, it's still here. Used on many gigs and recordings and still looks brand new other than light pickup shining. I will say however it is not my 'every day' bass, as it's not one for a subtle sound and sometimes it's a bit brutish where a delicate touch is better. I have Yamahas 6's and an MTD for those jobs. My band has a new single out on the 16th, i'll drop a link to the recording when it's out so you can hear it doing it's thing. It also now has a friend which will feature in a video shoot in 2 days.

Here's all the combos available from it now (MTD Kingston Super 5):

Thanks ! Through sheer dumb luck - i've managed to do it. I used this diagram I found on Talkbass, It worked as I wanted to (both pickups have a switch) so now I have an unholy number of pickup configs available.

I have an MTD Kingston Super 5 that has 2 MM pickups, each with a 3 way DPDT switch. It is currently parallel/single coil/series. I want to change it to single coil/parallel/single coil, I'm not sure how to do this as I can't find anything from MTD about their stock wiring, nor have they replied to my query. Can anyone kindly work it out from the below and suggest how I can achieve it ?

This is accurate, I do release management for a public used app and it's a far bigger an overhead supporting the numerous Android devices. We've had to limit it to the main ones and have reduced functionality in other devices, and no download at all for the really old ones. There's a web alternative, however.

That gym time also teaches me safe and efficient ways to carry heavy loads.

This is a sign of the times where older devices can be updated form the internet to become more current. Only really processing power and interfaces can change with newer products if the manufacturer maintains support for the older. I was getting on fine with my B3n with a few workarounds, but this one does what I need better. I don't use any factory patches, mostly just compression, drive models and ZNR.

I've had mine long enough now to judge it. I have set up a patch per bass I use to be able to set the right levels/EQ to get the sound I want without any on the fly tweaking. It does what I want better than the B3n did and the USB connectivity to my laptop for BandLab works great. The UI is definitely not intuitive, however I overcame this within a couple of days as muscle memory kicked in. I have A/B'd all of the DI models and cannot for the life of me tell any difference between them nor it being off altogether. I could do with them releasing the Android app as that is currently iOS only, which feels a bit elitist. That said, overall it does what I need and I thought the price was reasonable for the improved connectivity over the B3n I had.

I think people's stance on this subject may depend on the type of band they're in. I was in a busy covers band where they had an ampless stage and IEMs mixed through a laptop. I was never that happy with my sound (admittedly cheap IEMs) until I had an amp on stage to rumble the floor a bit. My current grunge/djent originals band is very much old school, we like our amps and much of our tone is dependent on them, also - a band with amps always looks cooler than one without </thread>.

I wouldn't take that SVT810 for free. Absolute liability having that slipped disc maker in your possession. Heavy cabs seem to end up on clearance a lot, any manfacturer that isn't putting most of their R&D into it is going to struggle in my opinion.
