    The neck was 60mm wide at the nut. Not much fun to handle. The neck was shaped narrower, so that it is only 54mm wide at the nut. A new nut has been installed. The thickness of the neck hasn't changed. As the wood is oiled, there was no damage to the finish.

    Ibanez Wheeping Demon WD-7 I play fast punk and gritty rock. Only the strong (soundwise) survive. The WD-7 did. Most Wah-pedals work on bass only in a "clean" environment. If there is serious rock'n'roll guitar playing and thundering drums, most Wahs are simply harmless.

    I don't get the point. Why reducing the pedalboard for the sake of [i]reducing the pedalboard[/i]? I experience times, where effects keep a'changin, and then there are times,of stability. So what? If an effect isn't used, I remove it. Just to not torture my bandmates too much, I restrict pedal change to 1 per rehearsal.

    As long as the music that you hear in your head comes out as you want it to, it really doesn't matter if you perform it on a 4/5/6- or 3-stringed bass guitar.

    Standard approch: works good, supports the drums, does'n't interfere with the guitar, leaves plenty of spaces, without beeing dull. Standard approch V2: too busy, doesn't work. Doesn't gel with drums and guitar. Pedal Tone: too static, Dull. No tension. Pedal tone + no "1": hook line quality! Etablishes a counterpoint to the melody. Low melody: too weak, nothing that brings a new quality to the song

    I play six only. Too much trouble when switching between string configurations.

    still no Mesa Boogie Bass Strategy users in the UK? My drummer says: "It's got the WALL FACTOR of the Genz Benz GBE 1200 and the tonal qualities of the Mesa 400+"

    [quote name='Subbeh' timestamp='1389265443' post='2331999'] Absolutely love that! really is a fantastic looking bass, got any sound clips?

    [quote name='Myke' timestamp='1389119892' post='2330295'] What are the controls? [/quote] three switches to toogle each pickup individual in parallel mode, so you may choose each combination between "mute" and "all three parallel" two of the pots are dummys, as I think that controls on a bass are a source to altering the sound by accident. the third is a Stellartone Tone Styler
