  1. I’ve got a Duo. its very good. But now I sold all my heavy basses so it’s in a draw somewhere l
  2. The LT's listed on the Bass Direct site are all still 9lb 8 ish. I realise BD is not particularly accurate with weights but I'd be surprised if they were 1.5 lb out.
  3. Lovely. I'd love one. But until they make them under 8lb it will never happen.
  4. I've only got 1 P. But at the moment it's got the risible Greasebucket circuit in it. I'd be happy just to rip that out and replace it with spaghetti.
  5. Nope. plenty of good stuff. Just more difficult to spot due to the massive amount of new releases.
  6. The Video says that the exact one he is playing the vid can be purchased from Sweetwater. I'll bet that the photo is of a prototype only.
  7. He wanted better upper fret access. So instead of deepening the cut out (like they did on the prototype) it seems they didn't want to change the shape of the bass so moved the bridge and neck forward. I get the design has an iconic shape, but that's a terrible design decision.
  8. Bass Direct do, as do The Bass Gallery Andertons do on some - mainly Dingwall. Peach do it on the more high end models Thomann and GuitarGuitar will get it out of the box and weigh it if you ask.
  9. Looks lovely - but that bridge is now very far forward. I'm a bit worried about balance.
  10. I've owned a couple of Jap and US Jackson guitars in the past and they've all been superb instruments. Lovely necks and easy to play.
  11. I don't like mixing speaker types. EQ settings for 1 cab won't necessarily be right for a different cab. If you have something you like and want more of it - add more of the same. Don't add different.
  12. I was not aware of these. great idea. Quite tempted for my P Bass now.
  13. GHS Pressurewounds are very nice. As long as you don’t play a 5. The B is awful. 4 string sets are excellent though.
  14. It’s an ineffective tone control, that doesn’t do a lot. Or at least does nothing like the description of it about letting clarity through as you turn down the tone. It’s crap.
  15. After the age of 30 the top treble freqs start being very muted anyway. That's why those "mosquito" teenager repelling noise makers work for teenagers and not the middle aged.
  16. Nice narrow nut on the 5 string - 44.45mm That's stingray 5 land! I am interested - if it's light enough!
  17. There won't be a winner. That is not my intention at all. I just want all the information. That's it.
  18. Neither. I am not clutching at pearls I am genuinely concerned that the original thread title (and first post) would be taken as gospel. This forum does have old and experienced members and also has young and inexperienced ones. I can assure you I argue the same way with everybody, friends, family, everybody.
  19. New title "John Hall sez ear plugs don't work" You used the name of someone known to be massively litigious? Strewth.
  20. Do you care for the others that asked the questions? Or do you not care for any of those who question you?
  21. Just as much chance as you answering the questions asked of you. Questions that you definitely have the answer to but have decided not to answer.
  22. If I'm looking at the crowd I don't have to care what it looks like! Last night I put rounds on my P bass for the first time in years, just to experiment with the MB. I liked it a lot. Might leave them on for a while until I can get back in a band setting.
  23. The Digitech Polara has a "Halo" mode which is their shimmer and it's pretty good, but it certainly doesn't have a great deal of tweekable parameters. I mention it because it would probably help you rule it out if that effect is what you really need.
