Feedback for me (Neil) and Allaboutthebass

Hi all, once again I appreciate the recommendations!! I’m rather smitten by the mtd super 5, so working hard on my man maths skills. cheers Neil

I really appreciate the recommendations, chatters never let me down. I might have a chat with the folks at BD/Promenade, as I have a POD Go I could trade as well, which should add a few quid to the size of the spending pot.

Hi All, I need some advice from my fellow Chatters. I have a very nice passive P which does the P thing really well. (**I know…. The shame of having only 1 bass**). I'm looking at joining the church 'happy clappy' band later this year and need something with a little more tonal variation. I also want something different for a bit of fun and to try some chord/classical music. All of the current band players (they rotate) have 5 strings, so that would seem a good place to start. So I'm thinking :- 5 String Active (3 band) 35in scale, but with a thinner (depth) neck. Jazz/Soaps/Humbuckers/Splits (not PJ) Smaller body than a P Maple fret board (nice and bright) The second hand market seems to be pretty bad at the moment for sellers, but it’s a good place for buyers, and there a number of bargains on this very boutique, e.g. Spector's, Yamaha's, Peavy's and Ibbys of course. I'm not tied to any brand so happy to consider anything, I'm looking at a £600 budget with a further £150 that my wife knows about and another £150 that she doesn't, but don't really want to spend it all. Any advice gratefully appreciated from current church players, or those who could point me in a good direction. Thx
