200 Songs!!!??. Seems a tad excessive. Our set lists (and sadly they haven't changed that much in 3 years) constitute no more than 100 songs - with the jam night stuff I do I could add maybe another 50 which I most definately blag. Ok, I'd stick to generic rock and roll and blues to make up the numbers in your case, you can basically play what you like to a lot of this (assuming you stay in the basic chord pattern) and no one will know any different. Most people don't notice the bass anyhow unless it's a well known line (e.g. Money, The Chain etc). Good luck with it, but as with the responses above - if it aint fun then bin it, it really isn't worth the hassle and may put you off music for life.

Sorry to hijack your thread Ian. Does anyone know the standard set that comes with the DJ5 - love the action as it is and don't want to screw around with rod adjustments when I change strings. Cheers, Mart

Just my humble opinion. Bubinga 'vette or Ovangkol Thumb..................that's different. For what your Sub's worth you should be able to pick up a nice used 'vette bubinga standard passive (or maybe even an active)

I get this problem occassionally with my 'wick Thumb. Thing is it only happens with one particular lead. Sound doesn't cut out completely - just loses a lot of volume.

I don't have sufficient vocabulary to describe how beautiful that is. What's the weight like?

The black precision I bought from Nick (above) is very very nearly the one. Bought it as a back up but it now gets most of the action. It's the cheapest bass I own, but it's the one most likely to put a smile on my face.

Forgetting to turn on the wireless pack..............do that quite often

[/quote] Note: Dave doesn't work on Sunday's so if you're doing the drive avoid this day - they struggle to do 'discounts' or px deals when Dave's not there.

Looks good to me.......................Bruce Foxton should have had one like this

Just like a Lakland Works on mine

Cheers Nick, will do, I'd go Tort or Black - just hate the white!

Hmmm, bit of a disappointment, I was looking to add a nice black pg from Jeannies for my DJ5

[quote name='mikeh' post='115993' date='Jan 8 2008, 12:22 AM']I've loved the DJ's I've tried. Even though I love the Bongo would swap in a flash for a DJ[/quote] DJ4 or 5?

To continue the pedantic theme - Silicone contains silicon so in principle if the polish contains silicone it also contains silicon (just not elemental silicon).

I sold a MM Sterling to buy a DJ5. Would say the build quality is every bit as good as the MM. Also not a single dead spot - amazing.

Thought the DJ4 was a 34"? The DJ5 is deffo a 35" - my poor pinky reminds me of this every time I play it. (Also hate the white pickguard on my black sparkle DJ - it's just gotta be black!)

Only 18 last year (tho could've booked XMas Eve and NYE 10 times over) - only half as many as normal. Smoking ban has hit badly around me with a number of our old venues going T*** up.

Small pub about 15 minutes by car for NYE. With both me and the guitarist down with severe man flu and 2 x 45 minute plus 1hr30min (inc. bongs) it wasn't an easy night. I always look forward to the XMas season gigs but I'm always relieved when they're finished. Might have a break from NYE gig wise this year. Happy new year all...
