    Very nice strings these, very punchy. GLWTS

    As a rule of thumb, I recommend discarding any advice targeted at "audiophiles" as it's invariably snake oil garbage.

    unfortunate typo/profanity filter collision. GLWTS, looks like a lovely instrument.

    My guess is that for people who aren't immersed in the scene, nu-metal is probably one of the last reference points for metal being in the wider mainstream, so they lack the vocabulary to describe e.g. the legions of clones that Meshuggah spawned over the 2010s.

    Go for it. I used to play in a band tuned to D standard, moving to a 5 string in standard tuning opened up a bunch of possibilities vs a down tuned 4

    Did Valenti not work in the Sadowsky NYC workshop before going solo? Unrelated, I've been wondering if we'll ever get a Metro Express M5-24. I'd be tempted by that.

    They can also cover all manner of manufacturing side effects, as well.

    Even on guitars it's mostly just a reference to older designs, a lot of instruments that aren't leaning on 60s tropes don't have them and are mostly fine. You will see wear depending on playing style though, e.g. aggressive slap and poppers can wear through a thin finish over time.

    Questions I didn't know I needed answered: "What's the best viola for metal?"

    Looks like it was moved (to a forum only visible to supporting members)

    Would you be open to posting this?

    Sold Ady some pickups and it was a very smooth transaction. Thanks again.

    Bought a footswitch from Alex, and I wouldn't hesitate to do so again - great communication. Thanks again!

    These are cracking wee basses, mine has served me well for many years now. GLWTS.

    Very much this. You can't fake that mojo 😎

    Felts still available

    5 string P/J set from a Metro Express Hybrid. Lightly used with just a few hours playtime since I bought the bass at the start of this year. Only selling because I got a great deal here on the higher-spec version with a hum-cancelling J pickup -- the only difference I can hear is the mild single-coil hum from the bridge pickup on these. They'll come with a Sadowsky box, unused screws, used springs and manual. Check the dimensions on the data sheets for the bridge and neck. Thomann don't seem to sell this precise set standalone, but the 5 string JJ single coil set is £218 at present, so I think this is a reasonable price, but feel free to try me with offers/swaps for WHY. Check out my feedback. Payment by BACS or Paypal. Postage included; if you can collect from Glasgow I'll knock a fiver off.

    Gary Willis' Fingerboard Harmony?

    Is that real binding? I have a g4m guitar where the binding seems to have been painted on.

    Hey I didn't say it would be popular!
  21. velvetkevorkian
    All jazz odysseys, all the time.

    I'm pretty hard-line on this - if punters are only coming to hear your greatest hits set, it's probably time to pack it in, imo. Too many acts trading on nostalgia. Exceptions apply, YMMV, see T&C's, etc.
  23. velvetkevorkian
    Nice! These blew my mind when I came across their site (in the early 2000s, I guess?). Cool to see them live up to that 🙂 Their range doesn't seem to have changed much since then, I think they're still using the same pictures!
  24. velvetkevorkian
    OK, got the pickups fitted. First impression is that the main benefit is the higher-spec jazz-style pickup is hum-cancelling and totally silent, other than that I don't hear a great deal of difference. I'll need to record some samples and A/B them with the ones I took before.

    Unless 300g and £75 is a deal breaker I'd get the one you like the look of more.
