  1. I think it's only really recently. At very silly prices for the new ones! Yours is lovely. Good luck with the sale.
  2. The SLO neck is back. It’s available to order now as shown on their new configurator.
  3. I had a V1 and for the life of me I could not dial it in to stop a really obvious dip and swell of the note when using high output pickups. It was fine on a good old P bass, but on my EMG equipped basses - where I have the pickups about 1mm from the string when fretted at the last fret - it just couldn't cope at all.
  4. - Starting with 0.40 maximum on the G - They have several sets like that. - Hex core or round core? - Depends on whether you like a more flexible feel - Roundwound is a must - ok - I want a good slap sound on the B-string (for example Something Got Me Started - Simply Red & Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel) - All basses vary. It's as much about the bass as the string. - Nickel or Stainless? - Only you can decide that - Normal or taperwound? - DR does not have a lot of choice here - 120, 125, or 130 B-string? - Personal preference. The 5 string sets come as they come. If you want a different B then you'll have to buy a 4 string set and a separate B You'll also have to check to see if the DR's speaking length is long enough for the 35.5 scale on the B. DR put those figures on their website.
  5. Do you know the weight now that the tuners have been changed? Thanks
  6. Close your eyes or look away from it and do your settings by ear, not with your eyes.
  7. I'd go natural, rosewood board, chrome hardware, black plate - just like 'Nards one. And the SLO neck profile. $2999 which is about £2377 today + shipping + vat = about £2971.
  8. I got mine from Thomann. Doesn't look like they stock them anymore though. Maybe email the manufacturer?
  9. My last gig was pretty much sitting (jazz) unless I was having to balance on 2inch square of stage. For a more active band I think I'd want a chair that I could get up from when I felt good enough for it. If the set is planned in a fairly conventional way - first 3 tunes being high tempo, then next 2-3 a bit slower etc etc then I'd probably stand for the first ones, then sit down for a bit - maybe even up to the finale. But that depends on the extent of injuries of course.
  10. I have one of those. I used it a lot after some hernia surgery. The Fearless Flyers always use guitar stands like that too:
