I have a brand new unboxed one of these to sell, which I’ll post in marketplace. I ordered two by mistake

Jedson Kay Hohner Hartke G&L Fender Peavey Fender Sadowsky

DR strings, I use Fat Beams, seem to last well. If on a budget Fender Nickel wound ( made by D'addario?) are great.

last night at the John Peel Centre. Didn’t bother with the usual extra 210 cab as huge house pa and monitor set up. Sadowsky Tesco Express Markbass CMD210 Spectracomp Korg tuner pedal Boss leads

A great first time with The Gray Project https://www.thegrayproject.co.ukat the John Peel Centre in Stowmarket, supporting Smith and the Honey Badgers. Lovely crowd and staff They want us back in March and May

I use a right angle jack with the lead tucked in the strap

Yep especially when they're this short. I have the regular ones; they're great and save a heap of space

“Disco pants and haircuts”

This one.

I love mine too, the purchase of which was inspired by your review. Thank you.

I currently use 45-105 DR Nickel Lo-riders

Despite the crappy logo I really like it, after a good setup and new strings it works very well for me. I tried a German Metro Express recently, in Germany funny enough. It was very nice and felt like a more expensive bass, however, at three times the price I can neither afford nor justify the cost. I also think that I prefer the simplicity of the two band EQ on mine as I didn't really have time get to grips with the German one in the shop. If money was no object however...

I have a USA one from 2006, which I love dearly. All standard, with the S1 switch, I can't think why I would change anything; it does the job very well. and is probably my most gigged bass. I have a couple of Precisions and a Sadowsky Tesco Express fiver, which is my main squeeze with the current band, however the Jazz is the one I wouldn't part with.

Yes We watched a bit of that before the fireworks, It was pretty dire

Andy Fairweather Low Not great Reminds me of the bloke who used to do Bullseye

7 basses

I tried the Sonicake briefly at a rehearsal last night and my initial impression was very good. It was easy to slip into Dalek noises if the octave knobs were two high, but for a more subtle, and in the context of the stuff we were playing, more usable sound I had it set somewhere like this attached. First time I’ve used an octaver but seems a good deal for 27 quid and looks well made enough.

I’ve just received mine Initial impressions are pretty good. I’ll try it out tomorrow at a rehearsal and report back.

Me too, although I’m sure as a callow 15year old with a Kay precision copy that I never came close, despite jacking up the VS on my HH amp and playing round wounds with great speed and gusto with a nylon pick.

One of my band mates asked about copyright issues for cover tracks on our website. Any advice chaps?

I bought Brian’s Pedaltrain. A smooth, efficient and very pleasant transaction, despite some PayPal muppetry from me. Well packed just as described and a very prompt delivery.

This works for me. Stock USA pickups, I tend to use 100% neck 75% bridge, tone in the middle. I have a jazz with the S1 switch. Switching to series really does beef up the sound and output
