    I have a (different) 5-string PJ and I've recently been experimenting with mixing strings -- I have rounds on the BE, and flats on the ADG. I keep it on just on the P pickup for motown stuff. Seems good so far.

    Good question! I've never noticed or thought about this, and I don't have a Fender to hand to compare directly - but I think you are right. I've put some images here: https://imgur.com/a/AmdoPKD

    When I'm struggling with GAS, I refer back to some wisdom I learnt from this very forum: Quoted from user PhilSpectone https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/9103-double-bass-buying-guide/?do=findComment&comment=332186

    This is back up for sale. The controls have been changed to volume and tone, with a three-way switch for pickup selection - see new photos. Afraid still no postage for the time being, as have no suitable hard case. However, I will be in Bristol in July, so could meet up if you're somewhere along the M4.

    It's 18mm.

    Ibanez ATK805E Premium 5-string For sale only, at £550 (edit 29th June: now sold) collected from south-west London, or possibly meet up halfway somewhere in the south-east. Afraid no postage for the time being as have no suitable hard case. However, I am travelling to Birmingham this Saturday (30th June) and will be in Bristol in July, so could meet up if you're along the M4, M40, or lower part of the M1. I bought this bass from someone who bought it from Dave Swift (Jools Holland's bassist), who imported it from the USA. Very versatile with the two pickups and the three-way switch. Gets a Stingray sound for sure, and also close to a P and J. Controls are: Pots: volume, pickup balance, active 3-band eq. Then there is also a three-way bridge pickup character switch. Pickups are curved to match the neck radius. The neck is a "CAP Sonic Arch5" and the bridge is a "CAP Double Humbucker". Weight: approx 4.2 kg, and balances very nicely. Couple of small scratches -- please study the photos. Happy to provide further photos or details of any area. Body: ash Fretboard: maple Scale: 34" Frets: 22 medium frets with "Premium Fret Edge Treatment: processed to be specially rounded for smooth play and comfortable neck grip" Bridge: ATK5 bridge, 18mm spacing Nut width: 45mm Neck radius: 305mm (12") Machine heads: Hipshot I seem to have two feedback threads: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/159971-jrixn1/ and https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/235844-jrixn1-feedback/

    Two inputs does restrict your options. How about an A/B pedal to handle input selection, and then use any single-channel amp?

    Ibanez ATK805E? String spacing is 18mm. Three-way coil switch on the back double humbucker.

    Edit 17th July: SOLD I bought this last month for an upcoming one-off gig - but the gig plan subsequently changed, so the uke is now surplus to requirement, un-gigged. Played it only for a few minutes in the house, so it's basically as brand new. Includes: Makala UB15 ukulele bass Thomann gig bag Kala "Feedback Freezer" (currently installed in the sound hole, but removable) £140 posted within the UK, or pick it up from Wimbledon.

    Edit 28th June: now sold This is the Myers "Feather Micro Coil" microphone (N.B. they describe it as a "pickup"). https://www.myerspickups.com/products/the-feather-mirco-coil-pickup-system I don't believe you can buy this in Europe (I bought it from USA). The micro coil and the included assortment of clips, etc, give a lot of positioning options. Includes: mic + gooseneck + micro coil cable preamp module + clip spare batteries two types of clip suction cup cork + rubber pads soft case instructions cable tidy £100 posted within the UK.

    The other side of the loud vs quiet argument: 😄

    +1 Great tip.

    At that budget, Yamaha BB434 (new) or BB734A (second-hand).

    I don't think you want to cut the lows using the ABM's eq, as this would affect the signal being sent to the sub. Instead, connect the ABM effects send to the powered sub. Then connect the powered sub's crossover output to the ABM effects return - this will mean the ABM/Aguilars are reproducing only those frequencies that the sub didn't already take care of. Not sure how this setup would sound though. Is there an option of getting a third Aguilar and an amp which can run at 2.7ohm?

    From that review: "the dual-function active treble/passive tone control [...] one single knob you turn that functions as a whole rotation of a passive tone control from 0 to 5, and active treble boost from 5 to 10." I have a BB735A and I'm not sure that above part is correct. To me it seems much more simple - namely that in passive mode, the whole knob functions as a passive tone control; and in active mode, the whole knob functions as a treble cut/boost.

    How about a Boss LS-2. Each channel has its own level control and a coloured LED - I have mine setup to cycle on each footpress through channel A, channel B, and neither (i.e. mute).

    Another organization to look at, if you haven't already, is https://www.helpmusicians.org.uk/ (formerly the Musicians Benevolent Fund).

    Perhaps Golden Slaps, which are the same as Silver Slaps apart from the colour. Great strings - I use them as well.

    Tickets to a Renaud Garcia-Fons gig.

    Boss LS-2 can do three instruments. Also has multiple switching modes in case your needs change in the future (e.g. blend two inputs; or route one instrument through two effects loops).

    Thanks for all the replies and information! It's really useful.

    Has anyone gigged in central Paris? I've got three back-to-back nights at Le Caveau de la Huchette later in the year with a 10-piece swing & jump blues band. I live in London. My options seem to be to drive there with my upright bass, or take the train with a bass ukulele. It would be really lovely to have the upright - but I'm wondering about the hassle of driving, unloading, and parking my van in central Paris. I'd imagine it wouldn't be that fun. I've not driven to Europe before. Anyone have experiences to share?

    @Al Krow, mine is an HD 10-A mk4. I'm not really sure what exactly is the difference between the HD 10-A mk4, the ART 310-A mk3, or indeed the ART 310-A mk4. The specs, price, and marketing all seem very similar. From what I can tell, the differences are the voice coil and crossover frequency - not sure what the consequences to the end user would be. Oh, and the HD 10-A has side handles The band I was depping with last night were using two Mackie 450s. I'm not sure how much bass guitar was put through those in the end. Venue was a hotel ballroom holding maybe 200 people. My regular band have two QSC KSubs and two K8s, which seem to handle up to the larger ballrooms; for anything bigger, a sound company will normally take care of things. The HPF is two Ac Bs Pre on the Zoom MS-60B.
