I've just wasted 10 minutes reading this thread! If I'd picked up a bass instead I could have played 3 and a half songs poorly in the same time. Sheesh!

Edge wouldn't be my first choice to spearhead guitar design, but it should make for some AWESOME effects pedals...

Nice. I [i]love[/i] my modcore

My Sm400 stays flat the vast majority of the time, occasionally I need to cut the boom out, but it's easily done with the para/graphic setup on board.

Nice looking bass, not sure I'd drop 3k on it though.

I broke a string before christmas at rehearsal, but that turned out to be a problem with the bridge, once I'd got that sorted everything's been ticket-boo. I don't take a backup bass, amp or cab. Down that route madness lies... I've got a bass lead with an XLR plug on the other end though - the absolute worst case scenario is that I go through the 'snake' to the PA directly. Worse things happen at sea. Also I really look after my kit.

The D'Addario half rounds worked for me when I played a 5. http://www.daddario.com/DADProductDetail.Page?ActiveID=3769&productid=178&productname=ENR71_5_Half_Rounds_5_String_Bass__Regular_Light__45_130__Long_Scale lots of folks on here swear by the Status Hotwires though.

That's a beauty - I genuinely hope you're happy with it. Just remember - "Fortune favours the broke".

or 'ground wounds' - best of both worlds...

don't/do it!

Why? Physics.

Cool, glad this has had a happy ending. They stink when they blow though, don't they!

I was going to listen to this, but I went 'outside and closed the door'.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1400311263' post='2452746'] but that's half the fun of searching for the right fuzz! [/quote] This! I found the Colorsound Bass Fuzz sounded amazing, but didn't really like my active bass through it, so I took the actives out of my bass... sometimes you just [i]know[/i].

I did the survey - took me longer than 20 seconds though, but that's probably down to my failing eyesight...

LEDs give a nice 'tubey' tone when used as clipping diodes too...

I suppose if you're not gigging then it's a good way to play to an audience.
