Sorry, I don't have time to trawl through absolutely evey single prior post to check for duplicate content.

@Al Krow - A couple of old ones of the ACG and Conklin...

Where do you start with this?? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6-String-Electric-Bass-/184743710812?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

Just had another 3 Pinegrove straps delivered today, that makes 4 in total including my ACG branded one. After a fairly exhaustive search, these are the definitely the best straps out there in my humble opinion!

It all depends if you want a bass that can do the classics, P-Bass, J-Bass etc. which to be fair is about 80% of all bass sounds most people would want, or if you want something that can do both P and J, everything in between and more. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a bass that does P and/or J only, but personally for me I like a bass that can go to extremes, and the ACG pre-amps do that for me. They absolutely do take some getting used to, especially if you're coming from a 'standard' non-filter based pre-amp, but if you learn how to use it, then it really does provide everything you will ever want. I honestly think that if you spend one or two hours understanding the pre-amp, you will be able to use it to it's full potential. My two cents is that it is worth properly learning the pre-amp, once you've done this you'll get a lot more usage and enjoyment out of it. With a P/J bass you can almost 'jump straight in' and get a decent sound in a few seconds even if you've never played one before, but a filter based pre takes a few hours to 'learn', but once you've done that you'll get much more out of it and you only need to invest that time once! It's absolutely worth it in my opinion.

OK.

@Bean9seventy - Genuine question, why do you keep typing double commas ,, ? Is it something typically done in another language you speak? 100% genuine question, not trying to be disrespectful!

Today I am going to invent 'Brick Style', where you play bass with a brick. I mention this so that in 60 years time you can look back at this post as the definitive start of 'Brick Style' and no one needs to have this debate.

Can we all just agree that I invented slap in 1362? I went back in time in my hot dog powered time machine and funked so hard that all the hobbits grew into normal sized people, this is actually why there are no hobbits left today. There, problem solved.

Bought a very nice strap from Dylan, arrived quickly, excellent communication, all round top egg! Wouldn't hesitate to do business again! Another credit to Basschat. Cheers! Russ.
