Hi yeah, thank you I was aware of that. I think between various podcasts, YouTube my bass playing mates and basschat I don't really feel the need to read a magazine anymore. I think if bass player existed and looked as if it was from 1995 then yeah I would probably buy it for nostalgia!

Just bring back the US Bass Player Magazine from the mid 90s please.

I remember doing this to mine when I had one. Took a minute to get it back together but managed it eventually.

Yeah I read about this, seems they use standard size jacks now, some guy on the other forum measured them with another cable.. it doesn't seem any tighter fitting than my mxr. I'll probably stick with using the MXR lead I have and use the monster between the pedalboard and amp

Haha! I think it's a sticker... it is I just checked

Haven't bought anything from bass direct in a while but needed a couple of cables for a festival this weekend so ordered Tuesday lunchtime, got tracking and dispatch updates quickly and the parcel was delivered today at lunchtime. Even got a free sticker and a pen that my partner was sarcastically over the moon about... she once bought me something from them and she gets the weekly email newsletters 😂 But yeah, best service yet from them! Not too convinced about the monster cable so far but I'll give a go, if I get a summer out of it I will be happy!

I would love a straight up single p pickup 5 string, natural wood of some sort maybe with a clear gloss, gold hardware. Reckon that would sound and look thunderous!

I have to say I have a weight relieved LT5 and there is no neck dive... though to be fair I don't think I've ever experienced neck dive with a bass. You're either standing holding and playing or you're not 😉 I think the CST line look great. I can take the bursts, though not to my taste but I can't stand the burl. Looks like somebody has been stubbing out cigarettes in the wood. Flame maple, quilted or just nicely figured anything but that!

I would email Neural and ask them. I had a deal set up via Doug so I had contact via artist relations on a couple of issues (mainly my stupidity) and got quick replies.. so I reckon send thier customer service an email, I think if it sounds like a hardware issue they will have the unit to fix the problem. Or you could return it to the store you bought it from.

They have just relaunched the new wimbish model. I would imagine bass direct would maybe get one at some point, may be worth sending them an email or maybe trying the US ones they have to give you an idea

I love Spectors and have a Euro 5LT. Yes the necks are really deep and chunky and there is the extra reach on the neck but they are things I've adapted to and now actually love. I played Warwicks for years and still have two but I sold my Streamer Stage 1 for my Spector and don't regret it. I prefer the tone, feel and they just seem very much more solid than the warwick! I think if you have unlimited financial resources then I think the US Spectors would be amazing, just for that extra touch of detail but the Euros are great basses.

Is this due to the power supply not being grounded and it relies on the amp or whatever it is plugged into to ground it?

I am intrigued by these preamps but I hardly use the darkglass pre in my LT occasionally just a crack of treble and bass. My bass is mellower but I do quite like it
