I was 12 when "Wuthering Heights" was released, and became enchanted by her from the start. I didn't like "The Dreaming" much, but every other album has had some gems, and my two favourites albums are actually "Aerial" and the first four tracks of "50 words for Snow". That said, put "The Man with the Child in his Eyes" on. or "Never Be Mine", and I am just gone

Been humming and hawing about it, but am sticking with my PJBs. May be worth a look. [/quote] Was my cab. Superb, just too big. Plenty loud enough even at 8 ohms for my needs. Condition is, indeed, very good.

[quote name='Schnozzalee' timestamp='1478609094' post='3170242'] How much is it? *Winces* [/quote] Well, from Thomann, this fretless 5 is currently 7899 euros...

Yes, the Contra is amazing, but so is the price tag!

Due in the UK in December, I believe, with an RRP of £1050.

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1477678744' post='3163866'] LS-2 Out -> Tuner in [/quote] D'oh, of course!

Thanks chaps, and if I wanted to have a tuner available to both, presumably just put that in front of the LS2?

I sold a Radial Bigshot to Etienne, and as usual he was polite, paid promptly and communicated well. He's 100% reliable and I would happily transact with him again.

Is it possible to run an LS2 with two basses, one bass clean and one with its own effects loop?

Hello Al There is no volume adjustment on Channel B. Have you tried your electric in A, without the piezo switched to 10 MOhm, and the upright in B? Cheers Gareth

How to make a great bass better? Add a Noll preamp. Neck stack is volume on top and midrange below, pull up for passive operation. Bridge stack is passive tone on top with bass below. It's whisper quiet and suits the bass perfectly. Installed by our very own OBBM - thanks Dave! Original passive setup New active setup And the stack knobs

Thanks for that. My understanding is that the screw Dunlop use isn't your run of the mill head, so may not be easy to find a direct alternative. However, it's no big deal really. Cheers Gareth

Hello all I'm sure I've seen extra long screws for Dunlop Straploks somewhere in the past. I think they utilised a hex key rather than a Phillips screwdriver. Anyone know where I can find them? Thanks Gareth

I've dabbled with Octave Mandolin, Bouzouki and Tenor Guitar, as they can all be tuned the same (EADG, high to low). Great fun to play, and the Octave is [i]much[/i] easier to navigate those thick bass player fingers around than the teeny tiny regular mandolin. Tuning is in 5ths, not 4ths, and the chord shapes are totally unlike guitar, but if you're willing to put the time in it's a very rewarding instrument to play. There are a few mid-range makes out there, especially if you consider tenors and bouzoukis as well.

Damn it, I just bought the D800. If I'd known this was coming.......
