I deactivated my facebook about a year ago, by coincindence to this thread my mate said in the pub last night that he has seen quite a few people leaving recently, is facebook losing its crown?

I'd lock the other basses away tbh, the only to get the confidence to gig with it will be, well, to gig with it! Yes you will make mistakes but it's the only way imo, I locked my 4s away and just sold them all in the end!

I've given up with the piezos, schaller 411 mag and fishman live, microphone for recording.

That's really cool, piece of art

I've seen it done with a drum stool, just put the end pin in the tube!

Once every option has been tried I'd strongly suggest a final test in a new location with a selection of power leads, instrument leads and speaker leads. There is a small chance that the power in the studio is either poorly earthed, reversed polarity or very high/very low on voltage or just has something dirty online nearby, all of which could be an issue here. Anyone that went to the Manchester bass days will be well aware of the lighting farting out all the amps on the upper level atrium! Just dotting the Is and all that before you send it off anywhere

I found the foam block to be the best upgrade out of the lot, just kept ringing on it's own without it.

Have you got the foam damper fitted on the after length?

I went to watch an orchestra a while ago, all sat down with music stands, the bastards!

I can afford one but don't want one so I don't know where that leaves me?

[quote name='bassmayhem' timestamp='1426001008' post='2713273'] Well, I paid [b]a lot[/b] less, but it is second hand... (£1K mentioned above...) [/quote] I think you made a good purchase then

Colour me interested then

I'd go as far as to say as was anti 5 string!

I now purposefully learn new songs all fretted on the five string as it makes key changes easy as pie!

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1425921150' post='2712263'] The D Lakins are only just over £1k for a Jazz and less for a Precision. Which is very much in line with Lakland Skylines. [/quote] That sounds reasonable to me, how much for a Jazz 5 and is there an active one?

Marlin

It still sounds like I am being forced to like it to me, if I do I'm a pervert if I don't I'm still a pervert but a jealous one! It's good but it is what it is nothing more nothing less.

I'm still a bit wet behind the gills when it comes to scales.

I dont want to get battered anyway!

Maybe a mod should put a 'Fin' to it?

Well I was having a whale of a time until you waded in!

Has this thread reached the end of the line then? Shame if it has as I was just getting hooked!

I've never seen one in the flesh, looks weird! I wonder how many were made?
