Anyway I normally need 5 strings. [/quote] I gigged one last year, now admittedly not in a hard rock band but I was impressed with the oomph factor. I plugged in to an MXR M80 pedal and then in to my Shuttle 6. Honestly it was awesomely loud and very comfortable for a three set gig. Why did I sell it

Really looking forward to seeing this Si. I've been so impressed with the ones I've seen on here, WOT's one looks so lovely. Think I would do the same as you concerning the logo.

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1441542023' post='2859625'] You miss the point - Why can't I ask a group of bassists, many of whom gig in cover bands at the weekend in the local pub, why they choose to use more expensive equipment at these gigs when cheap equipment would generally suffice? [/quote] I'm a regular pub band gigger, I use more expensive gear at these gigs because I can. If all I could afford was cheap gear, then that is what I would be using.

I'm only reading this thread because I have an hour to kill before I can have my meds

Love that 72.

That looks so rock Congrats on having a forgiving wife, I too am lucky in this department.

I find 500 miles totally groan inducing but the punters seem to love it.

I don't know if I've nailed the tone Alex but I do know that each time we play it, the dance floor fills up. Played it on Sunday, using my 60's P, sounded lush to me and none of the punters berated me for not having the tone Sorry mate, no help at all, I'm sure someone who is more up on effects and so on, will be along soon.

This is the one that I use and recommend.

Very happy to recommend Martin as one of the good chaps to deal with. No messing about, good comms and immediate payment.

They represent great value and with £50 be daft not to.

When I had a few years off, upon my return I could recall the tunes, scales etc. without too much trouble but for a while just too rusty to execute them properly. It soon comes back though, sore fingers maybe for a few days and then it will feel like you've never been away. Now then Bob, don't let it happen again

That's not good is it. Don't blame you for backing it under those circumstances. Enjoy the Jazz
