      It's would be a very self-indulgent purchase. I've actually had the go-ahead from the wife-to-be.
      Think I'm gonna email to perhaps go and see it.

      It's used, but from a dealer, so almost certainly sold at a small premium over private prices of course.

      It's not exactly rare, but you don't see too many of them.

       

      I'm wondering how I might make it happen, and I agree that you can't tell too much about a bass from a single play, but certainly ensuring it doesn't have any issues etc.

       

      Still thinking on it. Early wedding present to myself?! haha

    Users asking how to hook up their monitor to ethernet. I give up.

    Assuming you wanted the bass, would you buy a 5 string that weighed 10.4lbs?

      Thanks all, it’s been interesting to see a range of opinions on this. Think I’m sorted now 🙂

    Just picked up some KZ-ZS10 Pro in-ear monitors for £42 from Amazon. 5 driver per side, very impressed with them for the price!

      I haven't worn them on a full gig yet (next one that needs in-ears is 14th Aug), but I happily sat with them in for around an hour just listening to music no problem.
      This is my first set of in-ears, so I'm hardly a connoisseur, but I'm super impressed with the quality for the price.

    First gig back tomorrow! Pretty low pressure, but still.....from someone who used to gig, at the minimum, once a week....I'm a bit anxious haha. Excited too though!

      @LukeFRC This will be my Elrick NJS5 on it's first outing! Excited for that!

    So does this forum have a dark Theme I can switch to? The white background hurts my eyes on 34" ultrawide.

     

    1. Sibob

      Sibob

      As a moderator, I raised this. We're due a forum software update soon, and we're hoping that a dark theme will be implemented as part of that.
      More details soon hopefully.

    All these years I thought that Sterling was a budget line from Musicman, like Sub.. rather than a model of bass...

    I’m wondering if Labella flatwounds are as good as everyone says 🤔 ...

    1. Sibob

      Sibob

      Yeah, I know Felix Pastorius uses flats on his 6er Fodera (D’Addario though), and Bubby Lewis uses La Bella Tapewounds on most of his basses. They're not just for the 'groovers' :)

    Really missing my old Lakland 55-01 today. I'm very lucky to have some incredibly basses, including another great 55-01......but I would have the original back in a flash!

      @hiram.k.hackenbacker Yup, know exactly where it is, but the guy (quite fairly) doesn't want to sell it.....or even sell it for my current 55-01 haha.

      @JapanAxeYeah that was to FL’s, although I do also have FS’s on another bass and I don’t really notice too much of a difference lol

      I’d say equal to Chromes, I went straight to La Bella’s from Chromes and didn’t notice any discernible tension difference. Not as stiff as Rotosounds!!

      @Big Rich Not up front, but then you'll likely not change them again, so very cheap in the long-run!

    Boss OC-2 value... Any ideas? (Asking for a friend!)

      Some older units will have the serial in the battery component, but if it’s just a Taiwanese Octave, yeah....£75 maybe. That said, missing baseplate, £50-£60 🤷‍♂️
