When ? How much ?! I've been silently waiting for Yamaha to develop the under used RBX range and this seems to be what I've been waiting for. Can't wait to try one.

[quote name='richardjmorgan' timestamp='1365592704' post='2041427'] Ah, ok. Is there a particular technical reason for this? It's not a phenomenon I've ever encountered on any of my 2 pickup guitars. [/quote] It is the same principal on a Les Paul but since you have twangy trebly string and the Human ear is more sensitive in this frequency range you won't notice.

Having 2 pickups with a large gap between them produces a scooped sound and a perceived drop in volume of the mids.

Slightly off topic but the 5 string I tried had such a crappy light body wood (advertised as 'hardwood' on the website) that it had worse neck dive that a Thunderbird. Shame, as it sounded OK.

A 3 hour rehearsal with it nearly killed me but shorter sets are OK as long as there's a break !

Very optimistic pricing there. I think £450 is the top price going for a really good condition one (that's how much mine was).

Soonish

Keep the Clover, the Jazz GAS will go once you have one and you'll sell it a few months later .

Totally different basses, you need to decide what you want from a bass before picking between 2 wildly different instruments

Yeah mine never fit in my gig bag and I had to stick a sock over the headstock when transporting it .

My expectation is it may have been removed at the request of EBMM as it may have contain libellous comments. I didn't read the thread in full myself.

I would expect a quick and honest reply from our mods on this. Its not something I'd ever have been happy to implement myself.

Curious. One would assume EBMM may have requested it's removal. I'm no longer in a position to confirm this.

Actually top horn makes it a Legend not a Q5, I reckon around 7 years old.

I reckon a Q5 Pro.

[quote name='cocco' timestamp='1363726259' post='2016715'] I think it will be okay, the bass can do either through or over. Depending on how it went I was thinking of putting some on my T-40, which only does through body :/. [/quote] Same here, I think it would definitely be an issue though, plus you'd need flats long enough to not be tapering off to the silk between the nut and 1st fret, which I can tell you D'Addario Chromes will do on a T-40.

I think they don't have the same allure as Fenders do for most people and are not as revered. Obviously us lot know they're the real deal and worth the money, but it's supply and demand. More people buying them new and shifting them on than people wanting them 2nd hand means prices drop.

I had a 5 string Corvette $$, huge array of sounds and perfect for the music I was doing at the time. Amazing quality etc, but that neck is what alienated me. Too narrow a string spacing on too thick a neck, that and a lack of fret markers saw me move it on. I'd like another I'm the future perhaps, but not the way the pricing is going

Looks like you have to order a lot at a time for that site. Not sure what you can do with 200 knobs (but I bet ped does).

Pass the bucket.
