    @SibobThanks for the recommendation..I've definitely had a good look at the Barts! How do you like that combo? Think I'll be looking at the HR/918 pre 🐵

    Looking for some advice on new pre and pups in my new custom order 5 string. I already have a JJ bass so I'm after something a bit different - PJ / Soapbars perhaps? In terms of tone I definitely prefer modern over vintage and like lots growl and punch in the mids. I don't play metal or heavy rock but most other genres. Been looking at Bartolini, Glockenlang and East Uni Pre. Needs to be a 5 pot pre for the bass I'm getting as there's no control plate. Aguilar, Delano, Bartolini Nordstrand Pups. Any advice would be great to hear 😁

    Was using steel version. Used to like them on my Warwick but they don't feel right on my 35 scale jazz.
  4. bassmansam
    Interesting I'll check them out. What makes you prefer them to Sunbeams?

    Looking at nickel strings for my 5 string Jazz. I used to love Dr lo riders but after putting them on my new 35 scale they feel too rough and tight. Much preferred the nickels that came with it originally..... Looking at DR Sunbeams and Nickel D'addario. Has anyone tried both sets? What did you think? I play function tunes so a mixture of 60s - present day 😁

    We use Behringer P16s and have one each. Also works very well at having individual control of each channel. Not sure if you already have the PM1..

    Just wondering if anyone has tried out this combination out before on an Overwater? Looking for something different on my 2nd Contemporary Jazz build as oppose to JJ pickups.
  8. bassmansam
    Thanks...Have you had enough experience with EMG/Barts to describe differences?

    Looking at adding PJ pickups to my 5 string custom bass. I play in a function band so music from 60s-present day. I like having both pickups wide open most of the time and definitely prefer a more modern sound to vintage. Only thing is I'd rather not have exposed poll pieces from an asthetics point of view. That probably limits my options but would much prefer it this way. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Here are some photos of the bass in both compartments. I've only got 1 bass at the moment.. Hence the sale 🙂 - drop me a pm if interested and I can look at postage.

    Superior to Mono's dual bag imo. I spent a long time researching double gig bags and the IGIG came out on top. Ridiculous amounts of storage and superb protection for 2 basses Overall condition is good and you'll see from the photos that the inside guitar compartment is excellent. The only minor damage is the mini inside pockets stitching has come away, however, the main 2 big storage compartments work great and is plenty. Collection from South Beds Here are some extra specs and detailed video of the same bag. Check out this detailed video here. * Heavy-duty 1680 denier ballistic nylon fabric. * Accentuated with suede or 840 denier nylon. * Multi-layered foam padding with flexible board for enhanced protection * Customized metal logo and zipper sliders. * Spacious pockets with MP3 player earphone access, organizer, key holder, and guitar cable strap. * Three supportive handles for secure and comfortable grip. * Ergonomically designed adjustable backpack straps and padded mesh back support. * GigPillow (TM) system protects the guitar's vulnerable joint connecting the neck and body with shock absorbing memory foam. * Animal free

    I received my Overwater J5 this year... The best bass I've ever laid my hands on. If I hadn't just ordered a second, I'd have this in a heartbeat!

    +1 on the UE6's! I really didn't want to fork out for these and actually had some regret once I placed the order. Once they arrived I wish I had got them earlier. It's just a different league with the custom fit.

    To be fair the AC Retro looks really cool. I just had a set back when Alan confirmed he doesn't do scatchplates anymore, as this is something I wanted. But they do look good without too and not exactly a deal breaker. I play in a function band so everything from 60s-present, though I never really alter my sound with the Overwater (other than effects) .. Both pickups on bass and tone boosted a bit. I guess I'm more into aesthetics and playability. 😳
  15. bassmansam
    That is a good point about favouring one over the other and that has crossed my mind. 🤔
  16. bassmansam
    To be on honest no - I haven't played a Shuker before. That said I'd never played an Overwater either and was extremely happy with my J5 when it arrived. What was it about Shuker's that didn't appeal to you?
  17. bassmansam
    Was looking at Essence range but unfortunately they're set to 21 frets/34 scale 🙁
  18. bassmansam
    After speaking to both it seems that Shuker will suit my spec better. Particularly J Type. What model have opted for?
  19. bassmansam
    Lol I think you're right. Haven't played a Spector for a long time. Might be worth a re visit. Not sure on the EMGs though
  20. bassmansam
    Not heard of GB Spitfire. I'll check them out!
  21. bassmansam
    So my wishlist would be... 5 String Active Figured Top Wood Figured Maple / Ebony fretboard 35 scale 24 frets 17.5mm spacing JJ/PJ Pups Modern fiery sound & asthetics
  22. bassmansam
    I definitely haven't ruled out Alpher... They look great. Just maybe out of budget
  23. bassmansam
    I received my custom J5 Contemporary this year. Build quality superb and certainly a firey beast in the mix but love it! Different strokes I guess 🙂
  24. bassmansam
    Sold
