    Update: I've removed the old nut and a brand new one has now been installed - all is good.

    Exploring this line of thought, have you considered an active PA speaker, which are as flat-response as can be? If you sell the C4 (which for comparison is 13.1kg) I think your budget will be ~£600. There are many makes and models of active speakers, but here are some starting points: Yamaha DBR10 (350W, 10.5kg, £384) RCF HD 10-A (400W, 11.8kg, £479) QSC CP12 (500W, 13.7kg, £609)

    It's: E D C# B A G F# F. I think the easiest place to pitch the notes is when Brian Setzer come in singing, as his vocal line duplicates the bass line. You had it right, but in the wrong key.

    Jim Deacon short scale (30") P bass. Update 5th Dec: currently on hold... £140 collected from Bristol £150 delivered with next-day courier 38mm nut 17mm string spacing 3.6kg (7lb 15oz) Strings are La Bella "Deep Talkin' Bass" 760FM flats, 49-109, with maybe an hour of playing time on them (£39 new). Truss rod was adjusted and is working correctly. Couple of points to note: the pickguard has a warp towards the lower horn - cosmetic the G nut slot is cut too low - I've put some foil underneath which addresses the issue satisfactorily Update 4th Dec: brand new nut installed

    Reduced to £30 posted.

    The person who books the courier is the one who must go through their claims process if there are any issues with loss or damage.

    It would at least double your asking price. It doesn't make any sense to send this to Australia.

    What power supply? If it has multiple outputs, use a "current doubler" cable to combine two outputs (which don't have to be the same current as each other); e.g. use the cable with a 500mA output and a 100mA output to create 600mA.

    Armstrong Music (WD Music) Precision bass pickguard. Four-ply (red tortoiseshell, white, black, white), 2.41mm/0.95" thick, with 45° bevelled edge, and without truss rod notch. £46 posted.

    What is "too heavy" and "don't want to spend a lot" in kg/sterling? How about https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/484191-fs-cort-gb75-jj-5-string-bass-now-just-%C2%A3250/ at £250 and 4.0kg?

    Further info in response to a couple of PMs: I'm not sure of their age, as they came to me on a used bass. Chromes behave as follows: when brand new, they have an initial 'zingy' stage; then after a short while they settle down to be slightly mellower, but still with high end content, where they spend most of their life. These ones have been broken in and are in that second stage.
  14. jrixn1
    Yes exactly that - some sort of mixture of 3/4 and 4/4. There's more than one way to hear it though, so one person might come up with different bar divisions than the next.

    I would say that writing it in 7/8 is not correct. By doing that, none of the strong beats is ending up in the right place. My starting point would be putting the pulse at quarter note = 159bpm, and listen to where the bass and drums are falling.

    D'Addario Chromes, cut for a P bass (4 inline). I don't know for certain the gauge, but they are most likely 45-100. £22 posted

    The photos show one 4 and the other 8.

    The PA cost £3,000 new, but is now only worth (say 70%...) £2,100. So the leaver's 20% share is worth £420, not £600, and the five of you have overpaid. In absolute terms, the new guy is worst off, having paid £300 for something worth £210. The other four of you have paid £75 for something worth £52.50. Going forward, by my arithmetic the new guy has 10% stake in the PA, and the rest of you now have 22.5% each.

    How about pedals? E.g. an alternative to the Tone Hammer amp is the Tone Hammer pedal into your existing Markbass LM III.

    I've had a bass like this, and had success with a reverse shim (i.e. at the other end of the neck pocket than a shim typically goes).

    £37 collected from Bristol, or +£3 UK postage. Update: Now £30 posted RightOn make great, comfortable straps, with an accurate adjustment system. This one is pristine as it was bought new but then used literally just once. Width: 3.15" (8cm) Adjustable length: 37.4"–59" (95–150cm) https://www.rightonstraps.com/en/bass-strap-black-vegan.html

    Unless... do you mean put a 4-string P bass neck on a 5-string body? Unfortunately no, that won't fit.
  24. jrixn1
    I don't think they ever made a Classic Vibe precision. There was the old Vintage Modified precision but it had the same nut width as the jazz (1.875").

    None of the cabs on your list is significantly smaller or lighter than your existing Two10 - in fact the Ampeg is heavier. And although the Two10 is taller, it has a smaller footprint. You said "very small, intimate gigs with my acoustic group" - what's the band line-up and type of venue? In venues with good stage acoustics (theatres/concert halls) and listening (i.e. quiet) audiences, I've been using a Micromark 801, which is a 27cm cube and 6.6kg. This is with a 10-piece acoustic swing band. It's a very minimal setup which makes for a very easy load-in and setup.
