    Remember that the Ibanez has adjustable string spacing by 1/2mm either way, so you can get it to 18.5mm - I have mine on 17.5mm (actually slightly wider on the big strings and narrower on the small ones)

    Indeed they don't - I had to wear earplugs at a gig this weekend and I hated it, not something I would want to make a habit of.

    Not sure I knew there are experts on string spacing, but what do they say the string spacing is please?
  4. Woodinblack
    Yeh but can he play mustang sal.. oh never mind
  5. Woodinblack
    It's one of my favourites (although it needs resetting up at the moment), and I am not really bothered about the stranglers either way, although I have seen them a couple of times.

    Odd with the mustang - they seem to vary a lot with models, they were traditionally 17.5mm, so the Classic Vibe mustang I have is the same as that, and the MiM 'vintage' is 18.5mm (ish) Obviously your Maruszczyk is whatever you specified, mine is 16.5mm!

    The J8 is the current version, the 8 is the old version, they were superseded some time back, and at the same time the prices went down. This made people think the old one was better, it is in some ways, not in others. I mentioned that a few posts up!

    Like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401977270299 in which case they say they have a channel button. I thinnk you would have to set up each time you wanted to connect to a different transmitter though
  9. Woodinblack
    I have some of the 5.8GHz systems but mine have a channel select (1-4). The ones without the channel have a pair button that you have to press on both at the same time to pair.

    No problem, I just asked what you meant, it didn't seem that controversial. ok, that was what I was asking. I do suspect less than 19 is more common on Short Scales (which is this threads subject), but that wasn't specified anyway, and I would say that for long scale basses I would agree that most 4 string basses you would meet in the wild would be 19.
  11. Woodinblack
    And I was trying to point out that was not possible for me to do. If you have done it, fine, I will accept it, and I do accept that as most basses are fender copies, it probably is true. I was mentioning it isn't possible for me to know. They don't make a high percentage of the market, which is what I was asking if it was models or sales, which you didn't answer. ok, I didn' tknow they had done that I literally know nothing about danelectros (and am fairly happy with that!)
  12. Woodinblack
    ok, so it means nothing then. I thought you might specify. So the bass came after the pickup? I realise my bass collection isn't statisticaly significant, but what I means is this seems 'perceieved wisdom' and as I have or can see no facts to back it up (and you won't say what most common is), I can't check. I assume 'most common' as most basses are copies of a P or a J bass, and that is what they have, so Fender Full scale basses, Musicman basses, G&L basses and 'full scale basses that mr fender made'. so clones and near clones such as yamahas and the like Ricks are about 17.5 Gibsons are about 17..5 (but vary) Ibanezes are about 16.5 Hofners are something crazy small (less than 16?) Fender short scales broncos and jags are 17.5-18 depending on issues (some at 19) So yes, you are probably right as most basses on the market are basically fender clones or derivitives they are going to be 19 the same as the P. But I don't have any data to back that up so I can't really check.
  13. Woodinblack
    What does most common mean? Most common in that fender P and Jazz have that and they are the most common basses? I wondered as I have no basses with that spacing.

    A jack output plate, or a jack-plate. imaginatively enough This any good? From here https://www.guitarpartsresource.com/jackplates_aftfender.htm

    Our singer was raving about how it is the first time in ages he has managed to hear himself, even to the point where he was holding back a bit!

    Our first gig post lockdown I twisted my back because the road was 3.5 foot lower than the pavement and I leaned over too much!
  17. Woodinblack
    Thats just the broken ones???!! 😮

    Decent trolley then. Although it has to be said that RCF actually do make a case for it that has wheels! It has to be said it is heavier than the Alto 212 / headrush. although not too much bigger.
  19. Woodinblack
    I don't know, if I am lobbing it in the back of my car, I kind of like the birch box of the evox!
  20. Woodinblack
    On ours its also sort of full as the Vocals / bass drum / Sax and a bit of guitar are in it. When we play outside venues we mic up the full drum kit and since the sub arrived that has been a lot better. Last time we played 'on the hill' as we call it, the singers son said it sounded really good out the front, which would have been quite a way away in both the other garden area, and the front of the pub (there is little else on the hill apart from the pub). Which is not bad for a little PA. Back on the hill at end of this month so looking forward to hearing what its like with the Evox. Tell you what though, I am not sure it is because it is the evox 8 (ie, made of wood) rather than the J8 (made of plastic) but it certainly weighs a lot more than the altos - its good you don't have to put it on a pole!

    We had that with the guitarists amp blowing up mid gig, someone nipped round the corner and got another amp! If you are only going into a FRFR speaker anyway, not sure there is a difference. Am I misremembering or do you not go into one of those 12" Headrush speakers, which afaik is actually just an Alto 212 in drag anyway. Isn't it always. I missed a pair of Evox J8s for £1k, which i was gutted by, even though I really didn't want to pay 1k (and it is just me paying here, none of that splitting stuff). But then the Evox 8 came up for under £500, made him an offer that i thought he would tell me where to stick, and he didn't, so got it for £440 local pickup. I was going to try one to see if it was worth it, as people on here who know stuff say it isn't.. but it really is. Hopefully at some point another one will come up. You could tell out the front that the RCF was doign the heavy lifting over the sub and Alto, and the volume was down from where it would normaly be in that venue. Thats what I did - i foudn a behringer 12" sub on one of the music tribe ebay clearouts for just over £100 - bigger would ahve been better but the band isn't good at helping with the loadin / out, so it would have been more for me to carry. But it was well worth it, especially if you want to mic the kick as our drummer often does (and as he is the one who does help with the load in I am good with that). Well, the thing that apparently separates my 12" sub from the 12" PA speaker is that the sub is a long throw speaker. And I guess it has filtering for 100 hz down. In this situation it was parallel to me, due to the room layout. So not as far as I would put the 212s if I was using them, but not at the back either, actually parallel across the stage to my bass speaker and microphone.

    Ah sorry, that’s why I don’t put my tiny 27”er on the wall!
  23. Woodinblack
    How long scale do you think that mustang is in my first picture?!

    Here are the hanger ones Living room: Upstairs 'office' Desk grab bass area:

    I have some guitars in cases - not even sure where they are. Something goes in a case it is not being played, it is being stored. If it is on the wll it will get played. Looking at the collection here, none of the 9 instruments on the wall haven't been played in the last month. Although neither has the JR shorty or the Stick, they are both on the floor - not sure how you could easily hang the stick or I would!
