    I was thinking of that, but the pickup is straight and the double bass strings and board are curved. Don't think all the strings will get the same volume

    Yes, just looked it up - $290 in the USA https://www.krivopickups.com/store/p6/The_Krivo_Magnetic_Pickup_for_Upright_Bass.html

    Rather more costwise unfortunately

    Unfortunately they don't seem to do the pickup for 5 string db's and I can't find anyone who does anything affordable. Any ideas?

    Please someone answer this. I don't even bother taking my db to gigs nowadays (even not particularly loud ones) as I can't even setup without feedback, so I just default to my piezo equipped electric bass.

    I used to be in an originals band, and the '*unt' word was on one of the songs on the album. Even our band leader/singer, who had written the song and recorded it with pro musicians, would change the word to runt (I know, not much better but.....) when we played it live.

    As Simon at GUS has been working on some 'Prince' G1 guitars he hasn't managed to get going as quickly on the Zenith as he would like, but here is the latest news. Almost there Hi John, Just a little update for you...I’m creeping forward! Have the body all wired up now and the neck sprayed. I managed to blend the heel area and then applied some ‘rosewood’ stain in the lacquer...has approximated the colour of the top pretty well?! Needs a final set of lacquer coats and then polishing.

    Latest exciting bit. Just fitted a rechargeable piezo preamp - no battery needed, just charge up before a gig. Just need the volume pot wired in for this plus the magnetic pickups fitted and wired and we are almost there

    I played guitar for 30 years and have been playing bass for about 15 years and have never got it. I've had lessons. Read books. Gone online. Bought 'better' basses. I'm still a root, 5th octave player who throws in a pentatonic every now and then. I think the understanding music part of the brain is related to language and maths, and I (even though I'm 1/2 'foreign') can hardly speak a word of another language and had extra maths every Saturday morning throughout my school days (I'm not bad now, but I'm not a natural). But, I play in two bands. We get paid gigs and I'm complemented on my playing by the rest of the band (though of course, they could be sh*t too and just don't recognise if I'm good or bad). Learn as much as you can, if you can, but don't let it get in the way of enjoying playing.

    I was this bass' first owner (I bought if from Bass Direct) and can say that they are brilliant. You also have Jeff Berlin's signature on the back of the headstock, which he put on at a Bass Direct workshop. GLWTS

    I bought this last year on BC and just haven't used it. I have Markbass amps and wanted it in case I used another make of amp and could use 'my sound', but I always either use my Markbass amps or someone else's, plus I already use an MXR M80 booster and DI. so it's surplus to requirements. Official Markbass power supply included I don't have the original box for it but it will be well packaged. Price includes postage. Here's the blurb from the website: CONTROLS LEVEL BOOST (level knob and on/off switch) VLE (Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator) VPF (Variable Pre-shape Filter) Filters on/off switch REAR PANEL INPUT jack OUTPUT jack XLR active DI output jack GROUND LIFT POWER jack (DC 12V) Power Requirements - DC input: +12VDC / 60mA minimum Product specifications are subject to change without notice For many Markbass amp users, the VLE and VPF filters are the only EQ knobs they turn! This pedal gives anyone access to these two magic filters. The VLE (Vintage Loudspeaker Emulator) filters out high frequencies to give you a mellower, less modern sound. The VPF (Variable Pre-shape Filter) boosts lows and highs, and cuts mids: especially great for slap and pick playing. The SUPER BOOSTER pedal also gives you a clean Boost, very handy for helping you stand out when taking a solo! This highly practical pedal features true bypass and buffered bypass circuitry and also acts as an active DI.

    Oh, to have that and an electric bass made from the same material. Perfect.

    Glad to see I'm not the only mad one around here converting a 4 to a 5

    Maximum dimensions: Length - 128cm Upper bout - 32cm Lower bout - 44cm Waist 27 1/2cm Depth - 13cm Some minor knocks - used but definitely not abused Pick up, or we could meet up somewhere if not too far away or post (at cost)

    Nothing much happening at the moment. A piezo strip has been fitted under the brass bridge whilst the preamp (based on an LR Baggs version) is somewhere in the post. The idea is to have two separate jacks (like the original Zenith), one for magnetic and one for piezo (we could try and blend them but then we are getting expensive - and this project is going to be expensive enough as it is - so we arnt going to do that, and I can always use two cables and an A/B/Y pedal if that were needed). So in the meantime Simon has routed out the cavities for the magnetic pickups.
