Thanks. Price is dropped here (on basschat) partially because it's not in UK. I'm not familiar to send used things since Brexit, but I guess there is, like here, import fees? but not full VAT as I'm not a pro seller selling a new bass...
Yes the tax on full value. It's basically 20% extra which is a real shame.

I'd be all over this at that price if was in the UK. It even has the John East and knobs that I put on all my Ibanez Basses. GLWTS.

Hi Mikey - I've made an account just to ask, is this still available?
It is actually as I took it down from sale but was thinking of putting up again. I'll message you.

There are a few Frekvens hack/prints I'd love! Happy to pay too

What do you think?

Hello. Are there any fret markings of any sort on side of neck?

I noticed this - only around 2lbs lighter. Seems a little curious
It has the ceramic driver from DB series Vs standard SL drivers.

Love my Aguilar rig.
And they've just dropped these: http://www.aguilaramp.com/cabinet-series/sl-series-cabinets/
In 3 colourways...
Partial to picking up one of the Chocolate brown or Fawn to save moving about the 12s for small practices.

Until recently all my 5 strings were high C, just what I prefer. I can vouch for the short scale Ibanez TMB35 that I've modded a bit and it's also E-C. I also have the EHB1005SMS short scale fanned fret thats worth looking at depending on budget, but a few floating around used at the moment. Both are Warwick Black label high C 5 string sets.

Jamaladeen Tacuma on left and I think Al MacDowell on right.
Another video of him with bass later on:

What distance was that from the bridge ?
Sorry I don't have exact measurements but it was basically the width of the installed bartolini and just a fraction more as the gap between bridge and pickup. On the geb35 this was a custom dual coil nordstrand with coil tap from beepre
-
Exactly where it is on the ibanez GWB. I've had a number of them (and still regret selling the GWB1). Just the right amount of bridge burbling and nice tight defined sound.

Starting to be seen out in the wild...
First: fretless EHB1005F-AOB
https://www.ibanez.com/eu/news/detail/20221207141839.html
5 string EUB?
More widely available black flat ehb1505ms?
Some new SRs as is usually...
No new prestige range (yet)?
-
Shame to see Patty go I have a TMB35 that I changed tuners for lower weight as found on here some used ones cheaper. And some Aguilar pickups but the work to route and new scratch plate would likely be too much normally but I thought what the hell. Easily my most played bass until I got the ehb1005sms (had a 1006ms and I have a 1005ms).
If you can get a used Ibanez ehb short scale I'd say go for it.

Having dabbled in (and subsequently rejected) the E-C thing I got a lot out of working through parts of The Advancing Guitarist by Mick Goodrick; there's a couple of chapters that have some really heavy exercises on voice leading and some different ways of voicing chords (drop-2, etc) that might open up some new avenues for you - I found that working on spread triad voicings gave me a lot of useful material that could be applied even in a non-jazz situation.
I was also going to mention the Tim Miller/Goodrich book too Creative Chordal Harmony for Guitar generic modal compression. I've worked through most of the book a few times and applied the shapes that could be played on 5 string and just chose a few favourites of both open and clusters that I both like the sound and don't cripple my hands playing. Thought it may be a bit out there as a choice but worth a look maybe.

Had one of these stacks for years and loved it. This price is amazing and if I needed another rig it would be a no brainer. GLWTS

I really play 5 with a high C. Never comped a singer though practise chords and voice leading quite a bit.
My first influence for chords on bass was Oteil Burbridge and notice he has lots of new content cropping up. Haven't checked it out yet though
Andres Rot is a good example of a bassist that comps a singer. He has loads of videos and a few instructional ones with Scott's Bass Lessons. Although if you know you're basic triads, inversions and how to harmonise typical modes/scales then you might not get much from them.

Think Todd Johnson had some material on chords/comping but is mainly a 6 string player. Should be able to do most of it the same though.

Now you're just showing off... 👍
Cuts to wide shot of room - all furniture, carpets, curtains and clothing are in Sea Foam Green 😂
Thanks to @SumOne the sea foam family got bigger... I've had a EHB1506ms before and currently have the EHB1005sms but always wanted the EHB1005ms in sea foam obviously.

I think the thread reflects this as a lot of the suggestions on here are dead or retired!
I agree with a lot of names on here and many are my heroes too, but some recent ones (over the last 20 years) I would have are:
Thaddeus "Terry" Tribbett
Joe Cleveland
Robin Mullarkey
Michael League
I was going to say Thaddeus. And Adam Blackstone.
Whether he counts as session or not...but Gene Perez.

Looking to join or form a band after a few years hiatus (had 3 young kids...). Prefer the funkier side of things. Prefer funk like Lettuce, jazz like Wayne Krantz/Tim miler, acid jazz like Incognito/Jamiroquai, r&b/Gospel like Kirk Franklin, soul like Motown like...Motown, Latin like Irakere or world/African music like Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni ba but open to seeing what's out there.
I've been playing on and off for 28 years. Did a few years of jazz at a conservatoire many years ago (don't hold it against me). Taught bass. Played in original and cover bands before. Good equipment.
To set expectations in terms of commitment I really want to get playing in a band again but around family and work being realistic, that's an evening a week rehearsing and maybe a gig or two a month or so at weekends. I just can't do gigs every weekend, although I'd like to
In Buckingham so open to a short drivable radius around here.
I'm on Instagram as @fonkfingers
