Lol too many 🍻 for me this afternoon...

Lol my bad...

Only advice for getting the best out of a 5 string. I’m sure just about every serious 5 string player would say the same... Not saying I am a serious player...lol

I think this comment explains a lot. You are looking at how some one else has transcribed it and tabbed it out. This doesn’t mean it’s correct to the recording. Also I have seen the best advice you can get about 5 string playing said several times on this thread and I will repeat. Don’t be looking for songs with the 4 extra low notes, use the B string where you would usually use open E or or F (1st fret E string). The main reason for the B is efficiency and not having to move up and down the neck to get notes you want as they can be under your fingers.

I got it home today and it sounds every bit as good as it looks! An absolute masterpiece. I highly recommend a chat with Chris if you are looking for a world class instrument!

That is a beautiful bass. Good taste!

Sure is.

Some pics of the finished product! Truly incredible. I can’t wait to pick up this bass.

PJ for the win!

Update on this work of art! This pic is from a while ago, only just got round to putting it on here. The bass is really taking shape. Chris and Al doing a great job!

I’m sure I read that the BXP has the same pick ups as the USA model, just a different Pre amp. I agree the BXP’s are very good value for money.

I’m guessing it’s been a conscious decision at some point not to have a sub forum about specific players and their technique? I was just thinking about how handy it would be to have discussion about technique of certain players, and threads where you tube videos could be shared, and advice given on what to practice / listen to. I appreciate that this these types of threads can be subjective and may be hard to moderate, but my observation of Basschat is that it’s a very friendly and respectful place, where I think we could benefit from this type of Subforum.

to any one watching and doesn't want to wait for the next episode......Dr Dre pun. Its on netflix

It has been fairly tame so far...

The Hug & Pint, Ivory Blacks, The Blue Arrow

That would have been a great gig!

I have seen tons from this brand on Instagram, I hope some one starts selling these, as I want to buy some. Hell I am half tempted to set up a website myself and act as a UK distributer. Charlie if you have a connection with them and they would be into something like this send me a PM.

Congrats dude! That is awesome news!

Great gig dude, congrats

Welcome from one Glasgow bassist to another!
