Am back down next Wednesday with work... oooh, could I make it over?!? I'm liking the look of these new Fenders a lot. Been great to read your positive feedback - beats chuntering about new models or QC issues

Don't suppose Wunjo had a Starcaster in, Billy?

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1381699382' post='2242665'] Cliff was the most talented . Jason was great. Robert is amazing. [/quote] I think Jason deserves more credit than he usually receives, to my mind - he came in; put down some superb basslines which really, really work; and did so whilst being treated like sh*t by the rest of the band. Not a bad showing

It's a market - it will move I have my SR4 listed here for £750 cash, though more for trades. I think there are others in that ballpark - though perhaps not the 5-string you're looking for.

So, we're back to my original comment - is the issue in the bag itself or in the user requirement? And in that our opinions differ, and there's no harm in that I'd be saying that, if you wanted to carry a load in such a fashion for >30 minutes, then none of the current generation of gig bags are going to fully meet your needs. They don't distribute the weight properly, as a good ruck would do.

[quote name='booboo' timestamp='1381597414' post='2241253'] I take it then that the Mono case that takes two basses is probably a disaster in the comfort department? - a shame if so, as it looks like a great bit of kit. [/quote] Perhaps, but have a think here - you're looking to put two basses on your back, a not insubstantial amount of weight; what was going to be comfortable? I have an M80 and I think it's a great bag for protection, leagues ahead of some of the competition - but I never had it in my head to assess how comfortable it might be after an hour on my back, as that's not how I use my bags. Sure, they're for carrying - but I'm pretty sure all bags, by their nature, are about helping you lift and shift things you'd find difficult to move otherwise; and not necessarily about keeping that weight on for the duration, which isn't healthy. I park close, and they all need to be about protection (paramount) and storage; if you need comfort over distance you might want to think about parking closer rather than blaming the bag

You know, we get all this great music being created and recorded... and then we spend our time asking about which bass is best for metal, or some other trivia I think it would be great if we could do some kind of blog or vlog on the recording process - so we're not just getting the outputs, but perhaps hearing a bit more about how people go about putting their compositions together; and definitely something around both home and studio recording, so we can see both sides... the finished product, and the art in craft

Welcome in

Love the T-40s. Definitely one day! Welcome in.

Public service announcement: If people want to sell things on Basschat, we have a lovely Marketplace for that very purpose

Naturally, we demand pics

Keep it classy, people. We've been down this route before and some let themselves down. If you find yourself howling at the moon uncontrollably, we'll bring the van round.

[quote name='Pinball' timestamp='1380814169' post='2230983'] I played a 5 sting USA Fender, can't remember the model but it was truly awful, i like fenders normally but this was an exception, the B string was the worst I'd come across on any bass. some sort of set up would have helped. [/quote] I'll second that thought.

I have a Babicz on my Gibson EB2013 - indeed, it's a standard part, and something which raised some eyebrows when they fitted it. Great bridge, can't fault it
