    Thanks Marc,I really appreciate that. I think I'll have to sell it as I'm currently playing a cheap yamaha bass,which is fine,but I used to have some nice bass guitars & the only way I can raise the cash for another is to move the DB on.

    So I am quitting my current band & also quitting playing double bass too. I guess I've got bored with the whole Rockabilly Country thing so have moved on to something completely different. My new band,which is a Black Sabbath tribute band,has no place for a DB & I am really enjoying playing much more challenging bass lines on BG. Currently I only have cheapo bass guitars & need to raise cash for something nice,so keep your eyes on the for sale section for a very nice Duke Bass appearing soon.

    I'm soon moving to pastures new so my current band will be needing a replacement upright bass player. The band play country,Rockabilly,classic covers & original material too with a fairly busy gig diary. Checkout www.thedoghousedoctors.com They are Harrogate bassed. If anyone is interested please pm me. Cheers new bass player aquired

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1486726290' post='3234105'] I'm not surprised you're happy with your BB2, but let's not forget the role of your Fusion in all this - that is one hell of an amp! [/quote] Lol yes indeed it is,I'd go so far to say that it is the best amplifier I have owned to date. Anyone who thinks class D amps lack heft clearly haven't tried one of these little beauties.

    I use a BB2 in two bands. One playing upright bass in a Rockabilly band & also playing an active 5 string bass guitar in a Black Sabbath tribute band. My amplifier is GK MB Fusion 800. I couldn't be happier with it,both bands were equally impressed & amazed with how good it sounds,it has all the volume I've ever needed too. Previously I was using a Genz Benz 212 cab & have to say the BB2 is way better in every respect,safe to say I love it.

    They sent me a second hand "new" bass recently & were not particularly helpful in sorting it out,we got there in the end but it left a sour taste. I don't think I'll be using them again.

    [quote name='ikay' timestamp='1482051728' post='3197136'] Hi Artisan, can you characterise the difference in tone, tension and general playability between the Golden Slaps and Weichs? Are they entirely different animals? I have Golden Slaps on at the moment and curious about pros and cons of the Weichs in comparison. Thanks [/quote] hi,they are totally different to the slaps,they are a fair bit higher tension although very easy to play having a beautiful smooth finish. sound wise i fine the slaps give a great punch but that's about it (although that fits my bands sound) where as the evahs are much more musical & richer sounding with loads more sustain,perfect for pizz but not really my ideal slap string.Having said that i didn't slap the evahs hard at all just pizz with a palm slap. if you are just playing old school rockabiily/country the slaps are ideal but i would say the evah's are much better for jazz or general pizz. looks like i've sold these now but i hope the info' helps.

    I odered these new from "the string zone" on 16th October & fitted them to my bass the following week,took them off last Monday,so they were only on my bass for six weeks or so. They are in excellent condition as I have always wiped them over after every play & haven't trimmed them down or anything silly. They come in the original packets they came to me in,4 separate paper bags but no outer sleeve. I thought I'd try to get a little more "jazzy" but that didn't work out for me,so it's back on with my Golden Slaps. SOLD cheers

    The Evah Pirazzi Weich are great for pizz & slap very well too

    For double bass I really like my GK MB800 Fusion through a Barefaced big baby 2. Sounds brilliant

    Thanks guys I'll send them an email in the morning. Just been playing the bass for a couple of hours & I just can't get over what a nice bass it is. I've had some pretty expensive basses ( roscoe century) & this isn't a million miles away. Sounds damn fine too. Maybe I need a BB425X too

    My replacement bass arrived this morning Brand new in a sealed yamaha box & I have to say that I'm really impressed with it so far. Looking forward to plugging it in once I get home from work. I'm still £20 out of pocket for my original Saturday morning delivery that I paid extra for the first bass I received,guess I've lost that.

    I'm a pretty crap player but I have always used all four fingers,when I switched from BG I just carried it over.

    Great player & my favourite Jamiroquai bassist too
  21. artisan
    Mine are just about stable now so it must be pretty normal for these. Sound wise I agree they sound great

    Thanks for all your support guys I really appreciate it. The offending item has now gone back & GAK have ordered me a replacement bass from Yamaha which should be here in a few days.

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1477933930' post='3165377'] Have you got a time-frame for when you will be getting your replacement bass? [/quote] They said 7 to 10 days. I have to say they definitely have a "couldn't give a toss" attitude,I don't think I'd use them again.
