    Thanks guys - I note Alpine do an Android head unit now.

    Godin make some fantastic instruments. They contract build for other makers as well.

    Started off on drums but had microfractures in my wrist from high school volleyball which made playing painful. So I shifted onto bass as the next best choice in the rythmn section.

    I'm looking at replacing my car hi fi. The current set up is an old Sony tape/radio/CD set up (with boot CD changer) into JBL cones. I'm looking for a DAB/CD/USB unit with fairly neutral eq settings (rather than having all the mid range scooped out) and has a variety of options for connecting to android phones. A satnav might be nice but isn't essential. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for online retailers or particular combinations of components that work particularly well?

    Ive played bass through the SRM450 - great bass combo although ours had problems with overheating and had to be taken back to Wembley PA for repairs under guarantee.

    I'm a massive Joni fan...Mingus is on of my all time favourite albums and Hejira is a close second. I'm not normally into folky-jazzy singer songwriters but Joni is so intelligent and articulate, she can't be ignored. The Joni/Jaco collaboration was as close to pure musical magic as I've ever heard. She deserves more recognition than Bob Dylan.

    I still aspire to own another cutlass 1 but only if I can try before I buy.

    Agree - I have one for live use. Effects pedals have come a long way in the last 20 years!

    [quote name='lee650' timestamp='1423329172' post='2683639'] The EBS microbass 2 is great, one of the inputs is optimised for piezo pickups so ideal for upright/EUB. One channel is a drive channel, however with the drive right down its still fairly clean/warm. [/quote] I was going to suggest this also. Didn't know about the piezo optimisation!

    Now sold, thanks for all the interest.

    Satch is still the master. Far more musically mature than Steve Vai IMO.

    These were removed from my Shuker Headless 6 and replaced with slightly woolier sounding custom Wizards so are virtually unused. They're quad coil so can be split for single coil jazz type tones as well as humbucking mode. More information is avaliable [url="http://www.delano.de/products.html?&cHash=a2de322061&tx_smtdelano_pi1%5Bcat%5D=1&tx_smtdelano_pi1%5Bseries%5D=10&tx_smtdelano_pi1%5Bstrings%5D=8&tx_smtdelano_pi1%5Bsystem%5D=64"]here[/url]. Looks like they're Bartolini dimensions (118x32mm) rather than EMG. The only thing to be mindful of is that Jon trimmed the cabling to fit tightly to the pickup pan so there's always a chance they may be a little short for some two volume layouts.

    Great sounding bass and a bargain price.

    It's pretty easy to make a template though if you have some MDF or hard board, some straight offcuts and some strong double sided tape. The only drawback with a dremel is that the bit radiuses may be a little small to achieve the desired fillets around the pickup corners. PS: I have a Ryobi router at home but also use a multitool by Proxxon. A bit more durable than Dremels since Dremel switched production to Mexico.
