Pull the string up once you have inserted it but before you push the pin down hard. The ball end should be pressed up against the bridge plate.

[quote name='molan' post='736271' date='Feb 5 2010, 03:11 PM']Perfect - put me down for first refusal if you don't like / get bored with it [/quote] Will do Barrie, although I suspect I will be liking it quite a bit.

[quote name='eude' post='736260' date='Feb 5 2010, 03:05 PM']I'd love to know how these compare to a MarkBass LittleMark.[/quote] I have just sold an LMK so will be able to give you a fresh comparison once I've tried mine out on Monday evening. As to price, I bought mine from Musik Schmidt for £600, which was discounted from their already discounted price to match Thomann (who have no stock). Not sure what the UK RRP is, or what the "street" price will be, but I'd be surprised if it's much lower.

[quote name='BTGAndy' post='736150' date='Feb 5 2010, 01:34 PM']I believe walbassist has also ordered one.[/quote] Yep, will be here Monday

[quote name='BassBod' post='734896' date='Feb 4 2010, 11:36 AM']The Levys is worth the extra cash if you think you'll use it a lot. But - two basses together are heavy, and I find it a lot easier to carry two bags.[/quote] +1

It was me! Only kidding

Just a little too far away for me. Shame as I love a good fiddle and mando.

Bummer, but the obvious answer is to take it back and have the shop sort it (assuming it's new of course).

[quote name='sixshooter' post='733173' date='Feb 2 2010, 05:03 PM']I have a Washburn 5 string for sale here on basschat if you are interested? Someone was interested in it from Italy but did not feel that I trusted the shippers with an Acoustic![/quote] This bass would be a very good call.

What sort of wedge are you looking to spend Homie?

Euphonic Audio iAmp Micro and Doubler (pictured). I have the latter and it's great, 1.2kg (about 2.5lb), two channels, 500 watts.
