You've missed out class AB vs valve vs class D watts 😜

@waldemar does small custom metal orders. He might be able to make up some custom saddles for you... Not used him, but I do follow him on Instagram. Looks like he does some cool bits. https://www.instagram.com/small_scale_cnc

I've had a similar schtick for my 5 string at a gig this year as well. "Why have you brought that extra string?" 🙄 This is the bass I'm playing, get over it!

I know exactly what you mean. I play my 5 string Dingwall in my band, and only had short scale 4 string basses as my other options. I missed having something at 34" scale to noodle around on sometimes so picked up a PJ bass. It's fun having different basses in different tunings to play. I got my first 5 string after years of almost exclusively playing short scale basses. It took a while to adjust back to full scale, but the 5th string was never that much of an issue for me. Now I'm happy moving between all of my basses at the different scale lengths and number of strings. I'm getting a bit of GAS now though for a 6... Tuned GCGCFC for my band, it could be fun to have those extra low notes, but I really like having the three octaves of C to create a massive sound. Especially with a +1/-1 octave, fuzz, reverb and delay on. 🤔

You can always get a set made up by Newtone to your spec. I'm really enjoying my first order from them! A custom set at .125, .09, .07, .05, .03 for CGCFC tuning on my Combustion. And now they've got standard multiscale sets on the website, I didn't have to measure the strings like they ask you to. I just said it was for a Combustion when placing my order and that was fine.

We used to have a couple of overheads on the drums soley for monitoring and found we got enough ambient noise through those that it was never an issue for us. It wasn't really high up in the mix, but gave you a sense of space. At practice, we could talk between songs and not have to take our IEMs out.

It is a really good CAR on the Revelation. Here's a closeup of mine. PJ probably means it doesn't do the Duck Dunn tribute very well though.

Thought I'd do an update. They turned up within three weeks, and I used them for the first time at practice on Monday. It's like a blanket was taken off compared to my old off the shelf earplugs. Totally worth it. Such a good investment.

I literally can't resist for that price. Ordered!

I hope it's ok to post this here. My band have organised a doom night, should be a good one. Pretty close to Temple Meads, in Moor Beer's brewery on the 14th of December. https://www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/whats-on/moor-beer-co/sat-14-dec-christmas-of-doom-114885#e114885

Next gig is about a month away at Moor Brewery in Bristol. We've organised this one and it should be a corker if you like Doom! https://www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/whats-on/moor-beer-co/sat-14-dec-christmas-of-doom-114885#e114885

So, you're saying the tone is in the wood? 😜 My tongue is firmly in my cheek before anyone else comments!

I think it must be a mistake with the controls based on this YT video. Must be VBT or VVT.

These look fun! 30" scale, two humbuckers, matching headstocks, roasted maple neck, laurel fingerboard, poplar body. The website claims a weight of around 3.6kg and £449. Controls are apparenlty Volume, Tone, Master Tone. Seems like a possible mistake on the website - unless they've done the Keanu wiring? https://www.shergoldguitars.com/the-basses/telstar-bass.html

Yes, I like the flat tone from my amp. My pedalboard? Well, there's the Noble, the Magellan, Le Bass, MXR, Sans Amp, BK7, Bass Butler, Digbeth. They're all running flat though. It's just the basic tone 😜
