    Much though I loved the NT Thumb referred to in my earlier post, I quickly decided I wanted 5 strings. However, after researching I found that the NT 5 has quite narrow string spacing so I have swapped for a BO 5 "broadneck" (20mm spacing). This feels very comfortable on my right hand (I am primarily a Precision player and also dabble ineptly in double bass), although the sheer bulk of the neck is taking my left hand a little time to get used to. Compared with a NT, the BO is obviously a less lavish bass : the EQ has fewer options and its not as lush in body woods (ovankgol/wenge vs bubinga/ebony). However I have to say this new bass is really inspiring me (in part I think because of the physical challenge and in part as I am trying to learn a bit of flamenco-style bass on it). I am really very chuffed with it

    Well, fastest finger first, as some old comedy hack would say!

    Good choice Dave

    Hmmm. Not feeling the love here. £250 including post?

    Reminds me a bit of UK (the band, as in 'In the dead of night').

    Whatever the music, shocking name!

    This is amazing value type bump. Available in Europe for just below Euro 3000 [url="http://public-peace.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=411&Itemid=378"]http://public-peace.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=411&Itemid=378[/url]

    [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1338933790' post='1681461'] If I didn't have a Takamine B10, I'd have bought this by now. [/quote] I also have a Takamine B10 and have just bought this! I will be A/Bing the two and keep which ever I prefer. Based on Youtube clips I think the Rob Allen will win sound-wise but lets see. Either way, a happy conundrum

    Nope, its a simple add on. Just leave pickups as they are, unsolder pickup wires from control plate, remove control plate, screw pickup wires in via connectors to J-retro plate, screw on J-Retro plate and Bob's your Uncle!

    Yep, I'm another who works out bass lines on electric, then transfers to DB. Its just easier (for me anyway)

    Sounds nice and has huge amounts of extra beef for the reggae line. But I have to say the passive Jazz sounds really nice in that guy's hands!

    FWIW, I've posted a copy of this on my FB page

    [quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1338899616' post='1680754'] Very sorry to read about this. I hope you get it all back [/quote] +1. Thieving scumbags. Best of luck retrieving the gear, MM

    It also depends on your definition of pop. Does it go as far back as Johnny Cash and 'Fulsom Prison Blues' etc? I assume probably not. I know this is not a chart-topping band, but my previous band Rattlin Bone got me into DB playing and the lines are very easy and quite poppy. They are generally blues progressions - here's a free link http://rattlinbone.com/2011/the-life-and-death-of/

    FYI, a guy on the Facebook Rickenfakers group page has just been handed a 30-day suspension on eBay for trying to sell a faker. Looks like John Hall's troops are getting even tougher

    Hi Barend the bassi question was discussed on this BC thread http://basschat.co.uk/topic/168728-wal-percy-jones-bass-bass-gallery/page__p__1547373__hl__wal%20pj__fromsearch__1#entry1547373

    Probably best to post it in the dedicated soundcloud thread http://basschat.co.uk/topic/156658-basschatters-soundcloud-accounts/

    I bought this off BC'er eubassix a while back but its not for me. I bought it as a London transport-friendly combo for my DB and acoustic bass but - while it fits the size criterion nicely - I am not 100% on the tone (a bit chorus-y for me). This is the precursor to the MB150 combos. Jazzers use to love these and the reviews on the web are great (eg,[url="http://www.harmonycentral.com/products/92612"]http://www.harmonyce.../products/92612[/url]) £250 inc post within UK please (I paid David/eubassix £300 plus post so I'm sitting on my usual tidy loss) Here's a pic of one very similar (but rather more battered than mine): Manual: [url="http://www.gallien-krueger.com/manuals/200mb.pdf"]http://www.gallien-k...nuals/200mb.pdf[/url] [left][b][size=6][size=6]200MB Specifications[/size][/size][/b][/left] [left][b][size=2][size=2]Max Input Level [/size][/size][/b][size=2][size=2]9v rms[/size][/size][/left] [left][b][size=2][size=2]Sensitivity (400hz)[/size][/size][/b][/left] [left][b][size=2][size=2]Power [/size][/size][/b][size=2][size=2]100w@4ohms[/size][/size][/left] [left][b][size=2][size=2]Effects Send [/size][/size][/b][size=2][size=2]750mv rms into 22k for full power[/size][/size][/left] [left][b][size=2][size=2]Effects Return [/size][/size][/b][size=2][size=2]750mv rms into 12k for full power[/size][/size][/left] [left][b][size=2][size=2]Extension Speakers [/size][/size][/b][size=2][size=2]200MB 8 ohms with internal speaker[/size][/size][/left] [left][size=2][size=2]on 4 ohms with internal speaker off[/size][/size][/left] [left][b][size=2][size=2]200MB[/size][/size][/b][/left] [left][b][size=2][size=2]Weight [/size][/size][/b][size=2][size=2]24lbs.[/size][/size][/left] [left][b][size=2][size=2]Dimensions [/size][/size][/b][size=2][size=2]13.75'' x 15'' x 3.5''[/size][/size][/left] [b][size=2][size=2]Speakers [/size][/size][/b][size=2][size=2]1x12'' [/size][/size]

    Yep, it's part of their Thinline range. http://www.thomann.de/gb/sandberg_custom_thinline.htm Ugly as sin if you ask me!

    I'm a big fan of Antigua finishes but the neck on the Jazz is a mistake
