Sounds like it could be an RSI to me. I think you should get it checked by the GP. Maybe it's just tendonitis, but best to be on the safe side

An elastic band round the neck rest of the stand solves all problems Got a picture of the chip?

I certainly didn't get £1400 for mine haha! And who are Joy Division?

Nice! Same colour? I just got my first 5 the other day... loving it so far

Don't think I NEED my 5th string, but it comes in handy

[quote name='thatgrantboy' post='1086482' date='Jan 12 2011, 10:39 AM']Hello to the basschat forum! Been browsing for a fair bit, so finally decided to join up to share my views and whatnot, and take advantage of what seems like a thriving sales section! Not to mention some of the chat in the manufacturers section has me GASing for some sparkly new gear that I can't afford So Hi...I'm Grant A breakdown of my gear list is in my sig, but I'll be upgrading my main rig soon![/quote] Hello! Would you be the same Grant near Cardiff that I sold a hard case to last year over on UG? It had a misfits patch on, and was fitted for a jazz bass. If not, then I apologise for being random all over your thread

Ok, I'll keep trying. The local family run store doesn't stock many 5's so I may have to make a number of trips there to see what's in. There's another music store in town but it's a chain, and not very good really. Can anyone recommend brands to try? Preferably 35 scale

[quote name='bubinga5' post='1114559' date='Feb 3 2011, 09:28 PM']What 5's did you try?[/quote] I tried so far... an Ibanez BTB1305E, a Vintage, and some horrible cheap thing from another local store chain. The Vintage had the nicest neck of the 3, and the string spacing was good, but it was 34 scale, and I didn't like the B string... felt like there wasn't enough tension on it. The Ibby was nice as well, 35 scale and the B was much more... can't think of the word, but I liked that B a lot more. But the neck.... man.... it was like trying to get my hand round a door cos it was so flat and wide. Not pleasant at all

I keep thinking I would love to play a 5-er as those low notes would be great for metal... so now and then I drop into the local music store to try some out, but I just can't get on with any of them. I can't put my finger on what the problem is, but none of them feel right. Has anyone else had this problem when trying to find a 5, or make the transition? What did you do? Just buy one and hope it grew on you, or stick with the 4's?

Hello I've just ordered one of these but curious - does it have a headphone jack or can I just use an adaptor to plug my headphones in to the speaker jack (instead of the cab) for playing at night?

[quote name='silddx' post='1110298' date='Jan 31 2011, 10:22 PM']Keep your Wick, and get a POD X3 LIVE. Save your back and sound like anything you want to sound like. That's what I did and although I'm selling and buying basses constantly it seems, that POD is going nowhere. It's an awesome bit of kit, at home, in the studio and on stage.[/quote] Sounds cool. How would that work? Through the pa?

How much of a financial hit are we talking, if I were to sell it? How much would I be looking to get for a 2009 $$ ? Bearing in mind that they're around £1100 new, and that's on the cheapest online stores.
