Yes, the MC looks great, but it's pricey. Can I achieve what I want with the MC3?

I wouldn't be using the BT functionality on the Mvave as I believe it's not compatible with the CME.

Hey everyone, I've a specific query. I have a Stomp, with an extra 2-button footswitch, and my backing track player controls it via MIDI with a CME WIDI master. I want to replace the footswitch with a MIDI controller, so that I can use the EXP/FS socket for an EXP pedal. I don't want to lose the WIDI, though. How can I have my BT player still control the Stomp, while also allowing me to manually override it with a MIDI foot controller? I was thinking of taking a punt on the MVave controller, it's only a few quid. Has anyone else tried something similar?

Had a passive 5-string about 25 years ago, possibly one of the few in Ireland. Sold it to buy a Stingray 5. Regretted it. (not the Stingray, selling the Shark) I've never seen another in the flesh.

Thanks for this info. Sadly, shipping on both those sites is more expensive than the string itself!

I exclusively play Rotos and tune my bass CGCF, so I buy a set of 45-105 and a single 110 and swap the 105 out. I usually buy from Amazon as no brick-and-mortar stores near me stock Rotos anymore, and certainly not singles. But singles on Amazon have been out of stock for a while, and won't be back until November? Does anyone know where else I can find single Rotos online, preferably EU, but I'd settle for UK?

Circa 1994/95 I bought my first proper bass after learning on a POS for the previous year. It was a Washburn B-10 and being the age I was, I adorned it with many stickers. Around 1998 I decided that this bass thing wasn't a phase and I needed a better instrument, so I bought a Musicman Stingray, which I still have to this day. Soon after, an ex of mine said that her little sister wanted to learn bass, so I donated the Washburn. I certainly didn't want it now that I had a shiny new Stingray. Fast forward to last week, when that ex messaged me on FB (we're still on speaking terms and we both now live in the same town) to tell me that her sister never really took to bass, and that she still had it somewhere and did I want it back? Of course I did! So I collected it last night, still in the same gig bag and with the same stickers on it! I was instantly transported to my teenage bedroom where I learned many a metal tune on this very bass and composed some of my first pieces of original material. The bass is still playable but there are some problems. The scarf joint seems to be starting to split and I can't get the neck relief straight enough as the truss seems to be causing a crack in the neck if I tighten it too much. other than that nothing a soldering iron can't fix. Anyway, I think I'll leave it as is as a time capsule to mess about at home. Moral of the story, try and stay on good terms with your exes!

I found out about these basses too late. I never see them come up for sale in my neck of the woods. I'll have to settle for finding a neck for my existing P

I'd love a black one to play out my Billy Gould fantasies. At least it would be more affordable than a Zon!

This chap was a pleasure to deal with. Hassle free transaction and prompt communication! Sean.

Funnily enough, I just got my parts jazz electronics overhauled, and maybe it's because I'm properly hearing it for the first time in years, or I've just grown to love my MIM P with a DiMarzio, but I'm finding my jazz pups lacking. I bought them used and they're allegedly 75RI pups, but to me, they sound thin and weak compared to my P. So to hear that the DiMarzio Jazz pickups can be somewhat P-sounding is encouraging, as I now want my Jazz to sound like my P!

I use 45-105 when I tune DGCF as I like the tension. I would recommend starting there.

I experimented with 50-110 roto rounds for DGCF but I didn't like the tension so I went with 45-105. I usually keep a 110 around for Drop C.

I'm in the opposite boat, I'd like some flats that have similar tension to 40-100 rounds tuned standard. Bass is a jazz type. Any recommendations?
