    It worked for Jaco. And "the fretless monster"! Having said that, I like the mid-heavy content that TI-Jazz flats give on fretless.

    We recently moved to the WorshipTools suite - Presenter, Planning & Charts. Much simpler to use and seems more stable than ProPresenter, and doesn't require our volunteers to read a manual if something goes wrong... https://www.worshiptools.com/en-us

    If you can find one 2nd hand within budget, the JMJ Mustang is great. And you can probably sell it for what you bought if for if it doesn't work out. Good luck, Phil

    If you like the feel and sound of the La Bellas, but they are just a bit too 'rigid' for your pinkie, try the low tension flats (La Bella LTFs). But as others have said, sometimes different strings suit different basses - I love the TI Jazz flats on a few other basses but they didn't sound 'right' on my Precision...

    This is a great price, for a great bass. I have a black JMJ otherwise I'd be tempted!

    For Android, I have used Songbook Pro for a couple of years - was previously using OnSong on an iPad.

    The other option is to go for something headless if you want to keep with a full scale. Strandberg are expensive but seem to get lots of love. (My son has an 8 string guitar which is a thing of beauty, and the strange neck shape just works). Other (cheaper) options include Ibanez and Cort. Older 80s Steinberger copies tend to be a bit heavier, but are still lighter than your typical Fender Shaped Object. Good luck with the search, Phil

    If there is no damage to the strings then keep them going!

    If I hadn't just bought a P I'd be in trouble. Good luck with the sale!

    Bought a rather nice Black/Black/Maple Player I Precision bass off Dave. Easy, fast, and honest transaction - very good. Fast delivery & well packed as well - recommended. Phil

    I'm also 6'4 and enjoy short scale basses - my 2 are a JMJ Mustang (in black because I'm fussy) and a 1970 Guild Starfire II which might be short scale but is huge both in size and sound (purists would say it's the wrong age, as it has the Guild humbuckers instead of the Bisonic pickups, but it has quite a character)! Having said that, I also like 34" scale basses - variety is the spice of life!

    Some of the hum-cancelling jazz pickups tend to have a 'darker' sound due to the presence of a 2nd coil. DiMarzio Model-J for example has less top end, and so could be called 'dark' compared with a classic single coil. https://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/jazz-bass-hum-canceling/dimarzio-model-j

    Yamaha BB. I think they are mostly 34". Yamaha TRB did a few 35s. Or save even more and look for a Sire 5 string!

    Songbook Pro has lots of useful features (and can also handle PDF import, which is helpful sometimes) https://songbook-pro.com I've been using it for a few years - was using OnSong on iOS before that.

    I recently bought a Status-necked, jazz fretless from Chris. Communication was good, bass was packaged and shipped well, and Chris was also very patient in answering my questions. Cheers!

    That sounds like the start of a very niche bass joke...

    If you are moving to IEMs having a method for the musicians to create their own mix really helps take the load off the person doing the FoH sound. With a digital desk this is much more feasible - either with a phone app, or with a dedicated control surface (we use the Behringer P16 monitor mixers as we have an X32 desk).

    I'm also pleased with it. One key feature is that you can add the rota to your calendar and then see the updated rota without having to manually add entries. This is useful, particularly if the rota changes!

    Thank goodness for that. I was seriously wondering how long I could withstand temptation, particularly at the new lower price!

    Good luck with the sale - that looks tremendous!

    I have just purchased a rather nice GK combo amp (MB110) from Charlie. Amp was well packed, arrived swiftly, and was exactly as described. Top chap! Phil

    Looks nice, and a great price. Must resist temptation! Good luck with the sale, Phil

    It may be easier to just change the strings on the bass that you already have. Change to flat wounds on the Yamaha, and then use the P pickup with tone rolled back slightly as others have said. Having said that, the JMJ Mustang is a lovely bass. I have 2 Yamahas and a Mustang - so in true basschat style, the right answer is the one that justifies another purchase Phil

    I have a Hohner Jack with the jazz style pickups. I found that the pickups themselves were fine - but ripped out the Hohner pre-amp and replaced with a passive VBT with push/pull for series mode and it is much better. So if you do get the Hohner Pro JJ, try the original pickups before swapping them out - they might work for you. Phil
