  1. Only the Yamaha SLB100 has the headphone socket. With the SLB200 or SLB300 you’d need something in between (headphone amp, audio interface etc). I play an SLB300 and it’s great for silent practice both arco and pizz. Usually plug in through my audio interface. Scale and feel matches my acoustic upright perfectly so everything is directly transferable.
  2. Looks lovely. Dying to try one of these out at some point. GLWTS 👍
  3. They do if you put in a custom order. I suspect you’d have to go through a shop with the order as some of the options aren’t on the standard Configurator form, ie; pickup options and D-tuners.
  4. Looks like they’ve tried to stain it with old tea bags…
  5. The flame top Hadrien Feraud signature. As soon as played it in the shop I knew I was in trouble…
  6. Good idea! Might give that a try. Pretty sure I have at least one spare set knocking about in a drawer somewhere…
  7. I recently got hold of the Hadrien Feraud Burner that was up for sale at The Gallery and I love it. Been looking for a good five string with 17.5mm string spacing for a while now. It’s definitely the sweet spot for me having played Warwick fives for so long in the past. The Smith is a really good weight (just over 4kg) but it is a bit neck-divey; currently investigating wider straps to try to solve that little niggle. Just slapped some Dunlop Super Brights on it and it’s really singing. I’d definitely recommend checking them out if you’re after a really clean and fat sounding five-string.
  8. I too had a similar situation with a Stingray. Had a lovely pre-Ernie Stingray that I played for years with the Divine Comedy. Lovely slim neck; so easy to play. But I could never get it to sit right in the mix. Certainly never recorded with it. Had a brief dalliance with Precision basses before eventually settling on a Sandberg as my main gigging bass. Had one made that looks just like my old Stingray and I love it.
  9. @joel406That does look bloody lovely 👌
  10. Please ignore the original pricing on this listing! Was originally selling a bundle of 3 Boutique synths and have been adapting the post as things sold. Just the SH-01A left now.
  11. Even 50 hours of use shouldn’t result in the string coming apart like that. Either they were duff when they bought them (in which case they should have sent them straight back) or they were seriously mistreated on the instrument. Definitely worth trying a wanted ad on here, as @Burns-bass said. Not sure how common those strings are but someone might be able to help you out with a set
  12. That would be a hard no from me too… Not worth potentially damaging your fingerboard or your fingers. Not sure why they’d even try selling strings once they’ve got to that stage to be honest
  13. @Quatschmacher 👀
  14. Presumably if only a few songs are in the original key (and thus back to standard tuning), the guitarist will need to either tune back up or switch guitars. Either way you have time to make a change too. If it were me I’d just retune with a tuner pedal. That way you can mute the bass and wack it up or down. Can’t take any longer than switching bass…
  15. I had a similar conversation with them about a month ago and they emailed back yesterday to say they were now in stock. Really looking forward to trying the Classic V but it’s a bit late now as I’ve just bought a Ken Smith Burner which covers the same ground. Still going for a test drive though. Been wanting to get my hands on one for ages!
