  1. It took a year for my previous band to notice.
  2. Slab bodied set neck Thumb copy. I think there's some good basses coming out of China but it's very much pot luck.
  3. Try switching the cabs off. They seem to absorb an awful lot of effect - using the 70s chorus, it was completely inaudible with a couple of Ampeg cabs in but became nicely audible when I switched the cabs off.
  4. If you really want lightweight, there's the GR Bass AT500 Cube or AT800 Cube, under 10kg for a 500W combo which in the case of the AT800 can have a further 8 ohm cab added for the full 800W.
  5. No Facebook activity since 2021 and the website doesn't exist. Doesn't look promising.
  6. I've got an MS-50G, two MS-60Bs, and an MS-70CDR. Would have had the MS-100BT (I think it was) if Zoom had had the sense to create an Android app for it, instead of restricting it to iOS. I'm looking at making a mini pedalboard with a Line 6 G50, TC Spectracomp, Vong-Filterung HPF/LPF, MS-60B, and MS-70CDR, plus an up/down patch switch for the MS-60B.
  7. Haven't had a Crafter bass but I do have a Crafter acoustic - excellent guitar, quality well above its price point.
  8. Thinking about it, I wonder how many viola and violin players have it in for my former bandmate who plays a 5-string electric viola.
  9. No they couldn't, unless you want to be particularly perverse about interpretation. Are you sure it's not you being argumentative for argument's sake? Welcome to my very short ignore list.
  10. I'm not attempting to change you from your appointed course, I just don't want other people who might be tempted to try 5-strings and find that they benefit from using them to be put off from doing so in the first place.
  11. Still, addressing your other point - it's not compulsory to use the B string all the time, and the top 4 strings of a 5-string tuned B upwards are in the same places as the four strings of a 4-string, so the width is only of consequence when playing the B. So that also addresses the fretboard issue.
  12. You do know that it's possible to address just one point within a post, don't you?
  13. Did you know that you're allowed to move around the fretboard on a 5 as much as on a 4, if you so desire? But with a 4 you're restricted to that, while with a 5 you can do either (which is much more fun than being restricted to moving up and down).
  14. I'm doing vocal only PA. Get vocalists to sing at full volume with monitors and FOH off so you can adjust gain to below clipping Tell them it's entirely intentional that there's no sound in the speakers Tell them to sing at full volume Get a decent level for the monitors Turn FOH up, nip out front and get the level set Do a full band check with somebody out front to say who's too loud and who's too quiet (applies to backline too). Note: if this is the guitarist's girlfriend and she hero-worships him, make allowance for her completely ignoring the rest of the band. It all seems so simple until you have to deal with other people.
  15. I've been trying to set up a decent chorus sound on the HX Stomp and having no luck at all, until I got rid of the speaker emulation and suddenly chorus and flanger worked properly.
  16. Putting "markbass cmd 121h manual" into your favourite search engine gives https://www.zikinf.com/manuels/markbass-cmd-121h-manuel-utilisateur-en-29078.pdf as the first result.
  17. Don't most active subs have crossovers for this very purpose?
  18. I did for years, may well go back to it. I'll add Boz Burrell in Bad Company to the list.
  19. I started on 4-strings, finishing up with a Warwick JD Thumb, which has a really slim and shallow neck. I bought a couple of 5s but the necks were too chunky. Then I bought one off Ebay from Vietnam, and it had just the neck I was looking for. Subsequently I bought a couple of Sei 5s, one fretless and the other fretted, and those also had the shallow necks that I like. I've kept the 4-string Thumb and another that I had defretted and reprofiled to be the same as the JD Thumb, but they're not being used (don't want to get rid of them though). Everything else is 5, 6, or 10 strings. I like the ability to go across the neck - I only occasionally use notes below bottom E. I don't understand why so many people think that the purpose of the B string is only to go below bottom E. It is so much more than that.
  20. Sub Zero works for A Bank, in customer service. He's just been investigated as £400k mysteriously moved from one account to another that wasn't controlled by the person owning the first account and he was one of the ones the customer called about it (although the call to him was after the money was moved, not before). I doubt that he'll find out the results of the investigation though. We did tell him that if he'd got it, we expected a cut.
  21. Just get a lead with a Neutrik silent plug on it. https://www.neutrik.com/en/neutrik/products/plugs-jacks/plugs/professional-1-4-plugs/silentplug
  22. Perhaps you could give a clue as to what that FB page is? Incidentally, in the vague hope that it might be in your signature, I had a look at that but all it's got is a broken link to an image that doesn't exist any more, so you might want to fix that.
  23. Can't be that rare, there's two of them.
