  1. Cheers for all the advice! Good to know about Maruszczyk, I've spent plenty of time on the configurator haha! Didn't know that they were so flexible with requests so that's cool. Wariwck broadnecks are definitely interesting, it seems unlikely that I'd get to try one out before buying though as they don't seem particularly common. I love stingrays, I have a 4 string. I have played a 5 string but it was 3/4 years ago, at the time I hadn't ever played a 5 string before so the strings seemed super close together so maybe now that I'm accustomed I should try again. @Drax well initially my eye was on a Spector Euro LX but then the strings are super close together, the only Spector with 18mm spacing is the NS5H2 which is definitely out of my price range hence asking on here
  2. Trying to recreate a Spector Coda 4P Deluxe I've seen at bass direct 😅
  3. I've got a Sire M2 5er, bought it to find out whether I can play 5 strings. It's comfortable to play but I'm looking to buy a higher quality bass. I can't get on with really narrow string spacing though, so I'm trying to find out if there are any other basses around with the same string spacing as the Sire; 18mm.
  4. If I could get this with a quilted top and body binding it'd be perfect 😍
  5. I've had my Sire M2 5 String for just over 6 months now, I bought one to see how I'd get on with a 5 stirng. I'm really happy with it can't believe they charge so little for them! The tuners aren't the best so have been considering upgrading them. The bass sounds good, except when I play it straight after my Stingray - unsurprisingly the tone of the stingray blows it away. So I was wondering whether I should swap out the pickups? Does anybody out there own one and has done the same?

    Darkglass X7

    It's interesting reading this topic, refreshing as it seems on talkbass you can't say anything about Darkglass unless it's high praise. I own a vmt, fantastic 'traditional sounding' drive. I nearly bought a b7k but in the end I bought a Pike Vulcan XL, the Vulcan XL is much more versatile thanks to the colour switch. I am surprised and slightly disappointed at how similar sounding the AO is to the b7k - to my ears at least. The x7 is a nice idea but again it's not a different enough sound for me.
  7. Recently bought a Sire M2 5-string, love it but looking to fit some strap locks. Does anyone own one of these? Wondering whether I'll have to re-drill.
  8. Anyone heard or seen anything about this? Been out over a year now and I've yet to see any reviews anywhere
  9. Is it worth throwing the name Bergantino into the mix? Never been impressed by Barefaced cabs personally, impressed by the Vanderkley cab I tried but preferred the Bergantino.
  10. Does anybody know anything about raynaud's disease? I have it and it's a pain whenever we're playing in a cold venue or outdoors. A mate said I should get some leather fingerless gloves, would they help? Cheers
  11. What's on my board at the minute: - TC Polytune - Diamond Bass Comp - Vulcan Pike XL - TC Spark Mini (never use) What I'd love to have: - Darkglass B7K - Darkglass VMT - Dunwich ODB - Dunwich Volt Thrower - Fuzzrocious Grey Stache - Wren & Cuff TFR - Mr. Black Fwonkbeta - 3leaf Octabvre mini - MXR Bass Distortion ...might need a bigger board
  12. For the longest time I've been fantasising about an Elwood Absolution in a sunburst finish over a burled map top with a set of Nordstrand big singles in! Last couple of days though I've been entertaining the idea of having a Chris Novak darkstar-type pickup dropped into a jake, or maybe 2 into an elwood c.
  13. Hi, I would ideally like to be able to fit my Markbass Little Mark Tube in the pocket of a gig bag. I'm looking at the Protec Contego & The Protection Racket soft case. I read that someone on here could fit their Genz Streamliner 900 inside the big pocket on the Contego. I was considering the Fusion F1 but I emailed them and they said it wouldn't fit and I'd need one of the extra bags that attach to the outside. Any thoughts on the 2 I'm looking at and/or any others? Love the likes of the Mono Vertigo but it's way too expensive.
  14. I have my amp, my pedalboard and a foldaway stand that I want to fit all in one bag. The amp has its own bag as does the pedalboard, currently I can fit the amp and the stand folded up into a backpack. However that means I have to bags to carry on top of my bass and cabinet. Anybody any thoughts? Thinking a duffel bag is the only type of bag big enough to fit everything in.
