Just after a B string for the 5 string im making, so I can add it to one of my used sets of 4 strings, and chuck them on... cheers, Pete.

Iv got 2 pairs of 'grado sr60s' they're great Hi-Fi headphones. i should imagined they'd be good for most things!

The bypass setting (position 1) seems to leave my stingray slightly lacking in really low bottom end frequencys (like the ones you feel not hear), and that slight hissing noise is ever so slightly audible (completely irrelevant when playing with a group..). To combat this I usually set the rotary switch to position 9 ("rock") which seems to seems to do nothing other than restore that lost 'sub'bottom end and remove the (ever so) slight hiss. The 'rock' setting does not give a particularly rock sound, i use it for bigband jazz and funk on this setting too... the other settings are all usable, but are nothing that cant be achieved by EQing - they are more like a group of pre-set EQs. the battery life is not outstanding, but perfectly adequate, I have done a 2.5 hour rehersal and a 30 minute gig on the same set of batteries, but as the transmitter takes AAs i just have a couple of rechargeable ones which i interchange when needed. The transmitter also has a handy mute function which I didn't know about before i got it! All in all it is an outstanding little unit for the price, and once the cable has been replaced with a quality one, i cant fault it.

I havnt used it with effects yet, but I can try it, I have a fx25 filter and a multifx, i'll give it a go and report back!

Just to update, I ended up going for the Ashdown freebass, and as was mentioned earlier there was a high pitched noise, but other than that it was excellent, so i replaced the (cheap) cable that it came with, with a quality one from Obbm, and the unit is almost totally noiseless. I have been using it for almost a month and have had no problems whatsoever so far!

(duh!) I will probably go for a single musicman style pickup any way!

Im looking for a headless bridge/tuner unit, but i cant seem to find any for sale at sensible prices. Does anyone know of a cheap source, or does anyone have one second hand?

Hehe Thanks for the replies! These are just basic shapes at the moment, adjustments can be made at any point really!

I'm making a bass for my As level design technology project in school. I would like some help deciding what body style to make, I have modelled 3 styles out of insulation foam (complete with contours etc..) pick your favourite!

i dont think they are known for making guitars and basses, i have a samick piano, and its ok, but i don't know what that says about they're other instruments!

If thier not already gone i'll take any tuners that are left... pm me and a paypal you some postage costs and stuff...

I tried one of these in tthe gallery the other day, I want one!

i just saw this, i thought it was a nice idea! [url="http://www.instructables.com/id/Ghetto_In_Ear_Monitor_System/"]http://www.instructables.com/id/Ghetto_In_...Monitor_System/[/url]

So how are you? Yes you can play the Stagg sitting down, I use a stool as this stops the bass from swiveling while playing as mentioned earlier. To overcome this I've made a stand using a base from a cymbal stand with the top from a guitar stand fitted into it. The "u" shaped neck support is the right width to hold the waist of the Stagg and so hold it up. It makes playing easier and means you can walk away from it when finished/taking a break without having to worry about finding a safe place to put the instrument. There is also no problem with bowing the Stagg either, the neck and fingerboard are the same dimensions and shape as a conventional upright. It sounds good bowed as well Due to problems with my wrist (see RSI thread) I'm considering selling my Stagg, so if you want to PM me we can discuss the nitty gritty or even getting together to see if the Stagg is indeed the instrument for you. BTW I have heard there have been problems with the NS stands breaking, although this may just be the WAV version. Tim[/quote] iff you do end up selling the stagg, i would be interested!

looks great! can I ask how much it cost for the 5 days, and accommodation?

Thanks! any other input would still be welcome.
