My first tiny bass was a black Ashbory, then I got a blue one to keep it company as they're like guinea pigs and get lonely. I grew to dislike the stock latex string which took forever to get in tune and would occasionally snap for no reason when the bass was in the case, so I started using Kala Pahoehoe strings when these became available. Due to the tiny scale length and lack of frets it was not easy to play the ashborys in tune. Then when Thomann first launched their kahuna uke bass (based on a half size acoustic guitar) I ordered one but had to return it due to faults, then I had to return its replacement due to a different fault and I kept the third one for a while. I also used pahoeho strings on this. It was difficult to get a good tone using this bass and it was very prone to feedback. I eventually upgraded to a Kala SMHG-FS ubass - the one with a solid Mahogany top & tortoiseshell binding. I used pahoehoe strings on this for a while, but at the London bass guitar show a few years ago I met Mike Upton (owner of Kala) who was exhibiting various kala models including one that came fitted with Galli flatwound ubass strings which have a nylon core and Chrome steel flat wrap. I bought a set of the strings and Martin at the gallery reshaped the nut slots on my ubass to enable the strings to be used. After many years I was finally happy with my tiny bass.

Allowing for the angle the photo was taken at, the bass appears to have an action you can drive a bus under. It might be that the truss rod just needs adjustment but if not, the neck could be sha99ed

The tiny Roland Microcube Bass RX practice amp is a little wonder. It is perfect for low volume home practice, but can be loud enough for accompanying unamplified acoustic guitars & cajon, can be powered by batteries, and to my ears sounds exponentially better than any similarly sized practice amp I have heard — and it is good enough for recording.

I usually just boost the mids a little. If it sounds a bit brittle I might cut the upper mids a little

I have a Squier Classic Vibe Mustang bass three Fender JMJ mustang basses, a Fender CIJ Mustang and a Fender Vintera Mustang Bass. The Classic vibe is a great bass and I've happily gigged with it, but even though it has a vintera mustang pickup in it it is still outclassed by the Fenders. The competition orange finish looks fantastic though.

I use these ones from amazon: https://amzn.to/46GBVFa currently £13 for six. Although they're cheap and I've reconfigured my board a few times, I've never had any issues with them.

Popgun - The Bats

Is it to make the same bass look cheap when offered for £495 below?

At home I use either the Roland bass microcube RX or Boss Waza air bass headphones.

After relying on my clip-on tuners for a very long time, I've recently put a Boss TU-3 on my pedalboard. It is rock solid, accurate and reliable.
