    Still here and still bargainous at £3250

    Just bought a gorgeous Yamaha TRB 5 II from Tim: a very straightforward transaction even in lockdown, and an excellent packaging job. Much appreciated Tim!

    That's good! Same for me thankfully; but if we ever have the organ involved I go up an octave - there's no way I'm competing with it

    Love mine - out of all the basses I've used in my noisy covers band: guitar, keys, sax, harmonica - it's been the one which punches through the best. I currently have it strung with full fat La Bella 760Ms which is amazing through a Noble preamp. But I miss the sound of the stock Elites it came with, so may have to get a Bass Centre Detroit Bass for Motown duties

    Hooray! Welcome to the club Sir
  6. Kevsy71
    Great stuff again! Bonus point for having twin 'TrevorCam' ;)
  7. Kevsy71
    Yeah, same with us. We sometimes struggle to fill certain slots but have learned to account for it - playing without a drummer is quite the experience!

    That's excellent Trevor, and great to hear the Pro 2E so present in the mix! Thanks for sharing and a great job by all Please may I ask the video software used? I'd like to try this out for our church too. And will be nice for me to have the chance for multiple takes on the bassline for once

    And none of those are good for metal.

    This bass looks so nice that I just bought some root beer as consolation...
  11. Kevsy71
    Mate, it's not even close: check this out

    Very cool demo mate! Must try one of these one day...
  14. Kevsy71
    Too right Stew! Lee, I love mine - sounds immense with either the stock Elite SS or La Bella 760M deep talkin' flats - and I'm tempted to buy another so I don't have to keep string swapping!
  15. Kevsy71
    Enjoyed that Andy - thanks for posting! Can see that building very nicely into a full song.

    Hi, lovely bass - may I ask the string spacing at the bridge please? Cheers
  17. Kevsy71
    What a beauty! Please may I ask the string spacing, and whether UK postage is an option? Cheers
  18. Kevsy71
    So two choices where to put the G string then...
  19. Kevsy71
    So the bass doesn't come with a mute - that's the Sooty version
  20. Kevsy71
    And Rich was a gent to deal with These Xotics are very good 'first 5 string' basses because of the string spacing, IMO. Passive and active tones are lovely too. Looks great against those TKS cabs!
  21. Kevsy71
    Delighted to be first to post feedback for Rich, just had a flawless transaction when he bought my Xotic 5 - fast payment and rapid, friendly communications throughout. Happy to recommend you, thanks Rich!
  22. Kevsy71
    Wow! A Fab job for not much Lolly. Will be trying this myself
  23. Kevsy71
    I think the more resistant thick foam rubber mute (like the original Fender) is best suited to La Bella Deep Talkin' 760M or similar heavy gauge flats; I find it damps lighter gauges more than I want.
  24. Kevsy71
    Pipe lagging, great idea - the original Fender mute was akin to (or possibly was) weather stripping foam. I wonder if mute over vs. mute under makes a difference: assuming a pluck of the string drives the string downward, then having the mute underneath should in theory affect the attack quicker than a mute above (where the muting starts on the first rebound of the wave).

    Superb build quality, even the gig bag is superior! I had a 3TS version and miss it. GLWS
