  1. Sorry, it seems you had already replied to my question. So the reason is you couldn't get what you wanted elsewhere. See where I'm going?
  2. Newsflash: big stores can afford lower prices than small ones. :shrug: There must have been a reason why you bought from BD and not onf othe other stores. Which is it, if you don't mind me asking?
  3. Would you feel better if what you bought added up to £705 with free delivery? My point is: there's no free anything.
  4. I've played around 20 gigs with the Z7-5. It's a very nice sounding bass with one of the nicest necks I've played. Love it.
  5. Last night I was incredibly tired. First set was a struggle but managed. Second set... I found myself fighting my eyelids and a couple of times I had that feeling when you just nodded off for a few seconds and return... confused to find myself on stage playing. It wasn't my best performance but it worked. Crazy. 😂 Has anybody else had similar experiences?
  6. I wouldn't take part on that. I might suggest they send me my share of the fee while I stay at home 😉
  7. Yes, same position and same as a Stingray. The preamp is very different but the "Stingray sound" is most definitely there (as if there were one sound... but hopefully you'll get what I mean). Maybe oscilloscope fiends would argue, but I won't 😉
  8. Yet, others manage 🤔😂
  9. I can dance to everything. All at the same time.
  10. Strange type of haiku, that.
  11. I've just got one of these X32-compact mixers. It's a little bulky and heavy, and most decent cases I'm seeing weigh around the same as the mixer. Does anybody know of a good option that is a bit lighter? It doesn't need to be bomb-proof, portability trumps protection in this instance... but obviously I won't complain if it offers decent protection too I saw an ABS GATOR one with wheels and a handle... but it's about 3cm too short 😭
  12. They've already been discounted for a while, they're around £680 these days. I got one back in December.
  13. Are you sure these are Black Labels? I was convinced they had pairs of small polepieces per string.
  14. The company is consistently bad, but just how bad depends a lot on the individual drivers. To say I dislike EVri is putting it mildly, but I moved to a new area about a year and a half and the driver that delivers around here is pretty good. Fingers crossed! However I've noticed a general tendency to simply leaving parcels at the door step without knocking at the door. What can possibly go wrong :rolleyes:
  15. I've bought the MiPro58 from Thomann a week ago, and yes, that's the full cost, no extras.
  16. Indeed, it sounds a bit... obtuse not to let you have those tracks now. It's NOW that they would really be useful, not later on when you've already familiar with how they play them 🤷
  17. This. Forget the tuning, make sure you know what key they're going to play those songs in, and then play the right notes using whatever tuning you find convenient. After years of trying and not telling with 5 string basses, I finally switched for good when I started depping for a band and found they gave me the wrong keys to a few. A 5 string bass makes transposing quite straight forward.
  18. You didn't open the accordion case by mistake, did you?
  19. The usual: gigbag, allen keys for truss rod and saddles... I think that was it, plus paperwork. Nothing special. I wouldn't care about that.
  20. So he wires things in different ways until one works? 🤔 Seriously, don't go back to that guy for any wiring issue. 🙈
  21. The Zoom H2 works well at high volume levels, just need to set the gain accordingly.
  22. It seems to be some kind of secret! I haven't seen the spacing at the bridge specs anywhere :shrug: I only know the Z7-5 because I have one. It's true, Sire seems to go for 18mm generally, but I think here they've chosen the same spacing as a Stingray 5 since that's the general vibe of the bass... that's just my guess.
  23. The Z7 is definitely 17.5mm. Are you sure the Z3 is the same? The polepiece spacing looks more like those found on 16-16.5mm basses 🤔 Do I have to buy one to find out? 😄
  24. I have no idea what you're talking about 😇
  25. Well, after saying I found the knobs ok... I've ordered some replacements. The stacked ones just were not grabbing the shaft properly and it got a bit annoying.
