Thank you! It’s based on a P bass that the OW team built for Trevor Barry. I went with a PJ for a little more flexibility!

I have played OW basses since 1999 and I currently have 3. A J5 deluxe, a PJ5 and a hybrid 6. They are the best basses I’ve played and in my 40 year career, I’ve played a few!!

I’m currently looking at replacing my battered old Mono M80 double bag and I’m wondering if it’s still the best or whether something like the Gruv Gear Kapsule Duo is a decent alternative. The M80 has served me well but I like the wheels on the Kapsule and although Mono are putting detachable wheels on one of their models, they are reluctant to tell me whether this will extend to the M80 range. Anyone got a Kapsule they can tell me about?

Also I’m finding that many venues are now insisting on £5M cover rather than £3M which is further increasing premiums!

Pretty pricey but I’m wondering how much better can strings get? https://www.thomann.co.uk/dogal_jh171_jonas_hellborg_bass_set.htm

Try the D’addario XTs. I didn’t get on with D’addario XLs at all, they felt rough under my fingers but the XTs are great.

Gig money? People get paid for gigging? 😂 Some of us, yeah! 😀

That’s my point, the “doesn’t really deteriorate” definitely didn’t work for me! Maybe it’s another example of snake oil? Those who seem most perturbed about my dislike of Elixirs are the ones spending their hard earned gig money on them.

Elixirs are like marmite, you love ‘em or you hate ‘me. For me the longevity just doesn’t work so they’re not “worth the money.”
