Was the Axstar better than the EHB range? And why am I replying to a Nilo topic?

5.1kg according to the kitchen scales.

Bolt-on as well - aren't the Buzz line all neck-through?

"Its the most transparent and exciting sounding hybrid amplifier on the market." Even if one is to forgive the missing apostrophe, surely this is self-contradictory. If it's transparent, then it can't be colouring the sound, so it can't be exciting sounding as that implies it's doing something to the sound.

Truss rod slackened, relief now set. Fret ends are well finished, nothing sharp there. Bridge saddles reduced to minimum but action still a bit high. Two options - shim the neck or grind the underside of the bridge saddles down a bit. I shall give this some thought.

That will do it. It would need something a bit different to have the active and passive tone separate.

Stage 1 - take bass outside and open box Stage 2 - remove bass from box and take bass inside Stage 3 - put polystyrene box in bin Stage 4 - allow cat near bass

Like I said, the sound is pretty good, the neck pickup especially is very full and mellow. The neck is wood with an acrylic headstock grafted on to it. Truss rod access is conventional at the headstock, with a 3-screw cover. I'll be changing the strings for my normal Elites 40-125 stainless sometime soon. Fretwork seems OK, I'll have a better idea when I've got the truss rod and action set up.

Did your bass not also suffer? And if not, is it an active or a passive bass?

Shouldn't it be in Gear > Basses?

Can't find it on Ebay.

One of our guitarists has two, an SG and a Les Paul. He won the Les Paul in a Guitar Marketplace draw so at least he paid a fair price for it.

This is a failure in functionality, not just failing to move with the times. Still, it'll stop working once all browsers insist on HTML5 compliance.

About three weeks after I ordered it, the acrylic light-up 5-string bass is here. Unusually (IME), it came in a foamy bag in a polystyrene box and nowt else - no cardboard box. So, to avoid polystyrene particles everywhere, the box got opened outside. It was almost in tune, so no need to send it back. I fine-tuned it and had a little plink. It needs setting up - the neck is slightly back-bowed and the action a little high but it's quite playable. Checked with a micrometer and the neck is about 22.5mm at the first fret, a bit thicker than I like - probably about 5-string Precision thickness, not a complete baseball bat. And now the bit you all are wondering about: It did interest Pixie the microcat. One of the LEDs at the 24th fret is out but I don't really want the stress of sending it back for that. There's a single PP3 battery to power the lights and the bass itself is passive, VVT (the T doesn't seem terribly effective). Sound is pretty good, the neck pickup has a nice mellow tone to it. I need to find out if I can get Schaller straplocks onto it. So that's another task. I suspect I'll need to use the original screw2s to maintain the thread in the acrylic but fortunately I do have a pair of mark 1 Schallers sitting on my desk. It's a bit on the heavy side but I generally play seated anyway so that's not a bother. Not something to play a whole set with but I fancy doing a few songs with it.

It's here! See NBD.

The what now? <looks> Good Lord, who had the idea of using a Traben bridge as a control plate?

When recording, if you go straight into the desk and record dry with tone controls flat, effects and eq can be added later, either through the software or by reamping. If you record with some effect on or with some part of the audio spectrum cut which you later regret, there's no going back. It's somewhat different when gigging.

That explains it - it's below the bottom of the window on my laptop screen and the godawful website doesn't scroll the outer frame so I can't get to it. What a f*cking awful website.

Which is irrelevant to @Bigwan as he's in NI, which is the EU for VAT purposes. The wonders of Brexit. I think we should change the flag of the UK from the union jack to the flag of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick.

There's no sign of information on the new basses other than the original link in the OP - "Stock basses" under "Online Store" doesn't have any information and there's no other "Stock basses" option. Incidentally, the website is still stuck in the 1990s with its awful frame-based design and "click to enter" landing page, but for some reason everybody on BC is happy with that but not happy with BD's not quite completely perfect modern website. You can't beat standards, especially if you've got double.

I'm trying to work out how that could be. I suppose if one end was 1+/1- and the other end was 2+/2-, then either the speaker or the amp was 1+/1- and the other end had 1+ and 2+ connected together and 1- and 2- connected together, that would do it. You don't fancy taking the lead apart and telling us what you find, do you?

Have you got a sound cover in the bass soundhole? https://rockguitaruniverse.com/guitarists-cover-the-soundhole/ It should at least help suppress the feedback.
