Looks like a lined fretless to me. Semi-acoustic too!

Nice coloured bass. Overwater style shape. Not sure I like the NS inspired headstock.

If anyone has younger children like me, you may endure the CBeebies program Number blocks. Imagine my excitement when a song (series 1, episode 5) includes the words: "Five strings on a Five String bass"!

I couldn't agree with you more. Whenever possible, I now try to purchase from physical stores rather than online. However, the problem is not always helped by the retailer, especially when stock (say of a pedal, for example) is only available online and no stock is available in your local store. Sometimes the convenience and confidence factors of shopping online is too much of a pull to trump driving x number of miles just to find that the shop is out of stock etc.

Same for me. Searches showing Zero.

Check that there is a clear / firm bend in the string at the bridge saddle point.

Try your double-glazing keys.....

Looks like Grey 13 so that by the looks of it is used to bypass the EQ if a switch is provided. Perhaps that's why it's loose as no EQ bypass option fitted.

Thank you very much. I will have a good look through this when I am home later on. Extremely useful.

Thank you. Is that to be wire 6 from the volume pot side?

Hi All, Any Schack pre-amp users here who can help? Before I take this Sei to the Gallery (quite a trek for me), I was wondering if anyone can help with this loose grey wire. I can't see to see where it's popped off from, and everything 'seems' to be working ok, but I don't want to leave it loose. Can anybody compare their Schack wiring with mine or help at all? Thanks in Advance, Greg

Indeed. Ciocks DC7 for me for similar reasons.

It was these types that I was refering to https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_powerplant_iso_5_pro.htm Can't cut the Euro plug off these.

Ciocks DC7 would be great for that, or similar. Go for isolated power outputs if your budget can stretch. Lots on the market. Be careful with the cheaper range from Thomann as may need a euro to GB mains adaptor.

I posted my other pedal-board some months ago (for doubling gigs: double bass and elec bass), but here is my mini & light-weight board for straightforward electric bass gigs ( e.g. bigband, jazz sets, singer-songwriter style gigs etc). On the occasion I need a bit of warmth, I use the tone feature on the Empress and/or the pre-amp valve on my Mesa WD800 head, or I add-on a pre-amp. For power, underneath this one I use a Cioks ADAM. The board is a Rockboard Duo 2. If I need a couple of extra effects, typically I'd 'add-on' something like my OC5 Octave and Raffery Fuzz, which I keep velcro'd to a stand-alone riser plate (but power using the remaining power outlet from the Adam).

I use Mesa Subway 2x10s. I have two of these, but I find that I rarely need to use both. However, when only using 1 cab, I use a small hard-foam wedge to help point sound slightly more upwards towards my ears.

Hi use Custom Lynx, and although a little more expensive than off-the-shelf ones, are really well made and fully customizable (name lables etc). Scroll down the page for standard 3 pin ones: https://custom-lynx.co.uk/product-category/digita-lighting-power/mains-power/trailing-sockets/
