Well, headless is the way of the future.

I think the term for that is "hostage to fortune".

Would a stool count? Asking for a friend...

Wireless isn't laggy per se, it's Bluetooth wireless that's laggy. My Sennheiser wirelesses (HDR 120 II) are fine in terms of lag but there's built-in compression which I find a bit over-enthusiastic.

I think once as a bassist, quite a few times when I was on Robot Wars - the queue to get in ran past the pits and people would ask us to sign their programmes.

I searched CPC Farnell for LTC1144 and couldn't find it, then I tried searching with that part number and also couldn't find it. Are you going via the website or the internal stock system?

The Ebay one from China came to about £8 total, so it depends how patient you feel like being.

And Precisions have one. But here we have a Jazz bass with a Precision pickguard and single novelty pickup, just as in the past we had a Precision with two Jazz pickups. I'm not sure how this is "something different". I await them coming up with a neck-through headless [1], active, with PJ and piezo bridge pickups, made of carbon fibre. [1] Hands up whoever knew I was going to say that

The Steinberger system came later and is a more satisfactory solution, but various others simply put normal bass tuners at the other end.

My experience has been similar. Don't like the Rickenbacker parallel neck. Don't like the Wal neck. Also don't like the Fodera neck, or the Spector neck, or the thick Warwick neck (I love the slim Warwick neck). This has probably helped save me a lot of money.

They look lovely. The only purpose of the headstock is as an advertising hoarding to show the name of the maker, otherwise it just adds weight and unbalances the bass.

Hideous headstocks though, they should offer a headless option.

My Peavey Zephyr 5 had a 34" scale - the later Grind had a 35" scale.

Basses - somewhere in the 20s. Guitars - about 10. I'll be able to be more accurate when we have the spare oom cleared.

I had this problem when trying to play a file which was 48kHz instead of 44.1kHz. I used Audacity to convert it, after which it was fine. See page 12 of the owner's manual. Just checked the specifications section of the manual and it says Playback format WAV: 44.1kHz, 16/24 bit MP3: 44.1/48kHz, 32/64/96/128/192/256/320kbps I'm not sure about the MP3 though, but I can't remember if it was WAV or MP3 I had problems with

When I was with the ceilidh band, our dulcimer player had a brace of Appalachian dulcimers, tuned to G and D IIRC. Both were six-strings, three courses of two strings. He didn't have those extra frets but he did fret a drone string on occasion.

No, much better headless.

I have a Mk II Ashbory. Only 73 made. That must be worth £100k by now.

Seeing the price of JAN Is, I'm glad I picked up a couple of JAN I 5-strings for about a tenner each a few years ago. I'm surprised that they're five times the price of the JAN III.

I've got a ramp on my Sei Flamboyant 5 which I could take off but it doesn't seem to affect my playing either way. I also have a ramp for my Ibanez EHB which is sitting on my desk and will probably remain there.

A former band was doing some recording in Robanna's in Birmingham and I took in my Antoniotsai 5 (active) and Peavey Zephyr 5 (passive). I wanted to use the Tsai but the engineer had me recording in the control room and the vast amount of electronics in there finished up causing a buzz in it, so he offered me the use of a Fender P that was also in the control room. donkey the action was about 15mm at the 12th fret, I declined and used the Peavey (which was hum-free). Having owned a couple of Ps, I know they could play an awful lot better than that poor specimen.

The AT500 Cube combo is £1050 - a 9.5kg combo, and the AT800 (same as the AT500 but can also power an extension speaker) is currently out of stock so can't say what the price is.
