Just put it between the bass and amp.

Must resist.... Oh. Um.

I use 40-60-80-100-125 or -130. I don't have any issues with them feeling wimpy and sounding soft. Still, if you want 45-65-85-105-130, buy some Elites.

Actually, I was trying to get him to buy my BC 112 Mk3 as it'll be cheaper than LFSys or Barefaced 😁

I'm not convinced they're mods at all. None of them are wearing parkas.

I wonder how much of an advance it is over the MOD Dwarf - same designer, after all (see from 2:45 or so).

I use wireless for everything - rehearsals, open mics, gigs. On Tuesday I forgot to take a decent length jack-jack cable to run between effects and amp to rehearsal, but I always carry both the WS-50 and WS-90 so I used one for bass to effects and the other for effects to amp.

Yes, just screw the knurled knob out until it comes off and then thread the thrust bearing on, then screw it back in.

Simplest thing would be to abandon the Mustang and get a cheap multifx from Zoom or similar with an aux input and maybe headphones output.

For us, playing pubs with a vocal-only PA, soundcheck - two verses and choruses of a song using BVs. Checks that the vocals are balanced and the instruments are balanced with each other and the drums. Seeing as most of the time we have to eject people from their seats in order to set up, we're never going to get to soundcheck in an empty room. And we do a song that everyone will know and we do well, so those already there may have their interest piqued enough to remain (unless they're sulking at being ejected from their seats).

Once it disappears into Evri's maw, it can be over a week before it re-emerges. The mills of Evri grind small, but they grind exceeding slow. I'm not sure whether it's a universal AliExpress thing, but I think all the things I've bought from there have gone to Evri as the local delivery company - so far without problems.

Bowling for soup kitchens

Are you unplugging the bass when not in use?

None of the wooden shims above. I've used these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/197187183253 - you can calculate the necessary shim thickness, which is handy.

TGI Extreme (guitar version, used for headless basses) has been doing a good job. I've also got a Thomann E-Bass Gigbag Premium which has more pocketry. The straps are better (easier to put on) on the TGI but the Thomann one is fine. I used to have the guitar version for headlesses, the only drawback being that the reinforcement for the strap peg position catered for the single fairly central strap peg of most guitars, not the widely spaced double strap pegs of headlesses, and eventually (after several years) the main zip started to go.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/405326641329 Currently carrying assorted leads, a TC BAM200, a tablet or two, a tablet holder, a spare T-shirt, and my other smaller bag with wirelesses, batteries, tools etc which I use for open mics as well as gigs.

I started on classical guitar (my brother's, as it happens). Very difficult to play barre chords (I have a classical guitar now, and still find it difficult to play barre chords on, 55 years later). A steel-strung acoustic proved much easier to play.

I didn't bother. They're not going to be travelling very far over the lifetime of the bass, after all, when compared with the normal applications for thrust bearings.

Is that 269 that those straps have been made out of?

Everything but the Non-Binary Sibling Sledge

Rather better rehearsal with the originals band this time as the BL wasn't stressed out and exhausted. Got a little disrupted towards the end as the slightly dodgy PA amp in the room started cutting out on particular notes. Still, we continue to make progress.

I know you're all eager to hear this - when your batteries are running flat, the old MS series stopped working (but you could check the battery level). On the Plus series, AFAICS you can't check the battery level but when the batteries run flat, it stops working and the panel flashes twice a second accompanied by a CLACK CLACK CLACK noise, so that's, er, really handy.
