And now they should be back

The images that show like veteran and newbie rank - so they do! Good spot.

Cambodia and what other?

The wiring isn't an issue, it is how you want the series / parallel switching between the two and individually controlled - all by the same rotary switch? In which case what options would you want? Assuming you want all the options, so series on the p, series on the j, series on the connection (sss), all the way to parallel on all (ppp) means you need sss, ssp, sps, spp, pss, psp, pps, ppp which is 8 options, and you might also want to have only one pickup (another set of combinations). Also it would affect your volumes - is this with one overal master volume or would you still want volume for both (in parallel between them, doesn't work in series between them) I would also advise, although that is literally what I would do as I love switching (in fact I have a bass up there that has this), once you have found the sound for the pickup you will literally never change the individual pickup parallel series switch again Anyway, if you want the full set of options and because you have gone past 6, you are going to need a 4 wafer switch, which is pretty deep - does the bass have enough depth for that?

The funny thing is that I am sure there are many people on here who would have never heard of Jaco if they had not come on here. He is certainly never someone I would have never heard of if I wasn't here. And I am not sure that is true of anyone else.

It really isn't. I was gigging my EHB at the weekend and for some reason my G string intonation was quite a bit out and it was terrible. If I had brought another bass I would have switched to that, but it was really cringy (ok, if I had been the guitarist I wouldn't notice). Frankly it is rare I play anything on that string at less than 7th fret, doing alright now, on the 17th is was very clearly out Intonation is definately important.

Both too course to take out a specific couple of notes like that. Need a parametric something for that. if I had that live I could probably take it out on the PA if I remembered (with an X18), or if I had one of my parametric basses (the EHB or something with a john east), although a bit of a fine cut for those.

Hmm...

Clearly it wasn't or Moldova would have won

The BBC is a member of the European Broadcasting Union, so it has to be them.

That is down to you not checking, they have actually done really well, have a new album, single and tour out. Personally I am looking forward to next years Eurovision final in Kyiv

Indeed - I did a picture posts on how to do it on one of the EHB thread. I love side leds. Not a fan of blue but other colours. AFAIK though, I don't think there are any that you can't turn off. Same here. OK, as I use wireless all the time it isn't so bad, but I find it cures a problem I have never had by risking several problems that I could have. I thought that they were there just for decoration, same as other things. And as such they are fine, although prefer it without them.

Yes, they are fine on the 1505 as the neck is dark. I had that problem before when I had luminays on a mid brown neck, you can't see the luminays at all when they aren't lit (which is most of the time), unless they have a collar (my shuker has that coloured fingerboard, but the luminays are in a brass ring which shows well in any light). Yes, taking the bass off, sitting down, putting it across your lap and pressing down really hard until your finger hurts to undo the clamp. I don't tthink I ever managed to do it when I was wearing the bass.

A few people have here, I have the normal scale one. With the nords. In which case that is the only down side, so you are good. Note the Nords you can take off the top end warm them up just fine with the EQ, the barts aren't well liked as they lack definition, as well as just being wooly. But if you like the sound then you are good. The pickups are the reason I don't have one and that when one came up on here with replaced pickups i had already bought something else! They feel well made, but light. The B string sounds fine but the ergonomics are down to you - the neck is smaller than the SRMS805 but similar in its still an ibanez.

Was a bit confusing, yes! I would just pick whatever bass you want to play, they will all sound the same to the audience so play the one you like.

For me that always works against an instrument - some famous artist who can afford whatever they want had a choice of keeping this bass, but they decided to get rid of it as it wasn't as good as the other ones they had.

Private party for a 40th. I don't think necessarily they really needed a band but we got them dancing once they had drunk enough so it went down ok, and paid well as it was a party. Down these ways, since the pandemic, we have had more people at our gigs, and they have been paying better for the first time in a decade

North of bristol works for me. I did a search for something the other day on eBay, had a whole load of results, all the same basically, and one of them said RARE! which looked even funnier in a list of identical things

If Ukraine do win, it is going to make next years Eurovision a bit more interesting!

I think it is probably because there isn't really a 'standard' as such so it is to check the fit.

It was heavy, harder to move and 'only' 100 watts, and I know is heresy around these parts to try and infer that a valve watt isn't worth at least 50 transistor watts, but if you want loud, the CTM does it. If you want clean and loud, the ABM does it better, and if you want any kind of control over your tone from the amplifier, the ABM does it a hell of a lot better - the CTM tone control is more like a set of hints to the amplifier than control as such. In fact, the knobs really don't do much, the buttons are the real tone control. Oh and if you play in cramped venues with a single coil pickup, don't stand close to a CTM - it has a lot of transformers

I went the other way from the CTM to the ABM!

Indeed, but it isn't funny

Cuz the mail hasn't yet realised we are still in the European Broadcasting Union!

You mean there isn't a SaxChat? Oh I guess not, it might get mistaken for a tractor site
