Although after reading the document posted above it would seem that it’s an inherent part of any solid body instrument to some degree or another. I can’t imagine making a neck that is equally resonant for all frequencies out of wood would be an easy feat!

From what I’ve read a dead spot around the 5th fret on the G string comes up over and over and again. Particularly with Fender basses and other basses with similar construction. I’ve also read several stories of Leo Fender stating it was an issue and then suggesting adding weight to the neck. Wether or not that’s actually correct I’m not sure though.

Wow! That was more in depth than I had anticipated!!! Thanks for the info.

I’ve got a few P basses, all of them have dead spots centring around C/D on the G string that drive me a little bit insane! I’ve read a bit about it which come to the general conclusion that it’s almost inherent in the design that there is a lack of resonance in this region and you can minimise it by adding weights... I was just wondering why it would be the case that playing the same pitches on the other strings wouldn’t experience the same resonance issues? I've found the problem to be far more pronounced with flats than rounds which got me wondering how much of an influence the strings have. If anyone has any insight I’d be very interested to hear it! Cheers, Joe

My middle finger sounds pretty different to my index finger and it really bugs me. Over the past couple of years I've been transitioning slowing to playing more and more with one finger, a la Jamerson, and my dexterity has come on a bunch but I'm always a little concerned about RSI/carpal tunnel/arm amputation... Anyone else out there hookin' it up? Or any ex-hookers with tales of disaster? Any hints/tips/warns would be much appreciated, Cheers!

This! sounds great in the video, I’ll get in touch and see what they’re saying. It’d be nice to try one out before laying down the cash!

I've had a Walkabout for a few years now and I love the vibe of the amp but I could do with something with a bit more power. As much as I'd love to just grab a big ol' valve amp I really need to stick with a rig which is at least as portable as the walkabout, a little lighter all in would be a bonus, but it's gotta have that vintagey vibe. Any suggestions?

I have an old Mustang bass which I love but the low E string lacks fundamental and clarity. There's quite a strong harmonic ringing happening on that string an octave and a fifth above the note and it occurs with open and fretted notes. I've changed the strings (flats) but no luck there. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I didn't know whether it would be a setup problem or maybe something to do with the fact that the pole pieces don't line up anywhere near the strings (E string in particular). Any advice would be very appreciated. Cheers, Joe.

The weichs being louder than the standard set? That’s surprising

Thanks all for the help. Despite being a thread about being loud I completely hate loud noises and use some pretty serious ear defence even for moderate volume levels.

@VTypeV4 @Phil Starr Thanks! So how would I calculate it with two two10 cabs? @wateroftyne Sounds really great, love the sound clips you posted in the other thread. Let's see if Leszek is happy to send over a demo model ... Wish me luck!

What's the maths behind those numbers? (I'm intrigued not being critical)

Yeah, the WA sounds great but the few times I've played all valve the feel has been notably different. The transients seem much more apparent in a way I've not experienced with solid state gear. The WB-100 looks like a good option, the lack of controls is a definite plus for me, I'd be happy with just volume and gain! @wateroftyne What does that little switch on the right hand side do?
