This was posted on another forum but didn't say which store.

"100V; 120V; 230V; 240V – 50/60Hz (tension set inside the equipment) WARNING: The MARKBASS CASA is manufactured to be used in the country where they have been sold, and it is factory preset to that country’s voltage. So make sure you’re sending the correct voltage to your amp before you connect it to the AC power." I realise that EU is mostly 230V and the UK is still actually 240V but that the allowable margins are quite wide (about 230 to 250V in the UK) but I wonder if there would be any warranty cover for power related issues. I'd like to try one - looks very much like the old Hartke HA3500 that Stu used for years.

Roughly 15 years ago I was in a band that did all that stuff - the guitarist we had was previously in one of the big military bands and she could sight read like nobody I've ever met before or since. Unless it was Guthrie level she'd just look at the page and it would be perfect first time, and she'd only need 2 or 3 run throughs to memorise it. She was scary!

Is there less finger sliding noise on these than a round?

Has the OP mentioned the genre - I noticed the comment about guitarists not being happy outside of their genre but that struck me as a bit odd for a pub covers band? Are all the covers some obscure nose flute death metal or something?

You can special order a Stingray with the SLO neck option too - that is basically the Sterling neck on a ray. Not many used ones though, alas.

I’ve been bandless for coming up to a year and I did need the break but just as I was thinking about finding a new one, this thread reminds me of all the reasons I might not bother…

What is there? The Crybaby Mini Bass Wah is now stupid money so is there an alternative that is just as small? ta

That's kind of interesting in itself. I've found a few photos of stingrays with tape measures on the neck showing the pickup distance from the nut, and various youtube vids with measurements. And it seems over the years they have varied in placement by a good 5-6mm. As we know from 1960/1970 jazz basses where the bridge pickup is only 9mm further back on the 1970s one even a little movement can make quite a difference.

They seem like a great band, and nicely done to them for that. I must admit I'm not a fan of meet and greet for anything - music / film etc, but I can see the appeal particularly for younger fans. For me, I like the mystery of not knowing anything about them. I find it easier to just watch the performance then. Knowing the real person for me somehow diminishes the stage persona / role.

I know about the different magnets - it was the placement that bothers me!

As above! The question came to me in the middle of the night and now it's bothering me! Anybody know?

Definitely try the Updater. Then if not, the official L6 repair place is in Norfolk. Go direct to them. When the repair place was in Milton Keynes I needed a repair on a Pod XT Pro Rack and they charged me £20.

I just got this. It’s mad!

I think it was one of the guys in Angel Witch (NWOBHM) who opened a rehearsal studio in Northampton. No idea if it is still there.

Well, I’ve been waiting outside this bar for the “Hot MILFS that want to shag me” for 3 days now. I even sent them money for a taxi, but judging by the money they took it must be miles away!

Definitely poach the singer if she's interested. I'm assuming you are already making plans to seduce the drummers wife? It is the expected response I understand.

It’s awesome. the pcb’s are separate because it’s just their regular pedals mounted in a box.

The German Cali tuners are now the same weight as Hipshot Ultralites. So that could be good.

Yeah - that's the same weight as my Lionel Superlight - makes even my full scale TT4 Superlight seem heavy - ant that is only about 200g heavier!

I can't see if they put the extra 2 frets on an overhang so the neck still fits on a regular 20 fret fender or whether the neck pocket would need to be extended.

Wood varies massively. I”ve had 8lb jazz basses and 10lb jazz basses. Each tree is unique so it’s impossible for basses to all weight the same for a particular model.

Man - I would have loved to see that gig!
