What we know is that they are far from rare, they are pretty common. They came out before the classic vibes, and they were sort of interesting with the switching, and probably the cheapest thing fender ever did, but didn't really take off that much they did a Matt black 5 string that I would probably pick up if it was cheap enough

I have had several goes with a 6, and I never really use them much, or the necks get too big. The only time I played one live was a problem as I realised my ability to switch between 4 and 5 strings without issues was because I viewed everything from the top string, so I missed a couple of times! i have a 6 string at the moment but the neck is too wide for me

Are you sure it is? This is just for in the house, I have the smoothound for gigs. Seems like a reasonable choice

That is why I didn't go for the boss WL20s that seemed pretty good otherwise. At least with the animoon and the like they are very cheap.

You can have trouble with anyone, its more regional than company wide. I have never had trouble with DHL or parcelforce, i have with hermes and yodel. I can't use UPS because my wife does all our deliveries and won't deal with their racist driver, so I normally end up using DHL or Parcelforce through one of the brokers

Just a question of putting the different strings on and idealy (but not always) fitting a nut that works for it. String length and bridges are not an issue. You have to redo the intonation (but that is true with different strings anyway) and you may have to adjust the action / truss rod.

I just got new strings for my hohner B2V, and I got the steinberg double ball end ones as they were cheapest. They seem ok

There are no issues connecting two halves of the output (their own lead can do that), its combining hte output of two effects pedals is not ideal. Not that it will break them. Yes, but only for phantom power.

Thats what the helix FX is for. And if not that a buffered mixer would be a much better idea than just shorting the output of two effects together.

Agreed here. I missed out on a lot before I got mine. Turns out, I don't play it much but it would be one of the last instruments I got rid of. I got rid of my NS-Stick, as, in the words of my wife, the stick is a thing of its own, the NS stick was neither one thing or the other, but my stick would only go if I had another stick that was better! Mine is a 34, its a railboard. The railboard has a mono / stereo switch so you don't need that.

I would say, if you are doing it yourself for fun, get a chunk of wood, saws, files, a drill and sandpaper and an idea, and you will find out pretty quickly what tools you need!

To be fair, I don't actually put them on the lawn, I put them on a stand on the lawn!

Excellent, if I photo basses for sale it's on the bed or the lawn!

Well, if the certificate does have any value (not the sort of thing I have ever thought about), having the wrong number just makes it a piece of paper. Yep, I never had an problem with PMT, although I have never had to do a return, and it is only in returns do you know how good someone is. I have done G4M, Andertons and Bax returns and never had any problem with andertons and G4M.

The perpendicular one on the ibanez is around 5

Gear4Music also have a swedish warehouse which always seemed a bit odd. You could buy everything from them, but then one of your items would be delayed for 4 weeks and have high postage.

Thats weird, I get it the other way round. Going from parallel to fanned seems fine, but going from fanned to parallel feels a little odd for a bit until I get used to it. Does depend on what I am playing though, if I am playing higher up the neck the transition to parallel from fanned seems awkward for a bit. Again these are only minor things. I think if all my basses were fanned, that would be the ideal.

I now mostly play either a Shuker parallel fret or an ibanez fan fret. I have no problem going between the two.

No, I meant I went to their website to have a look, they have a ton of basses there, I was wondering if that was just all their stores, or stock, or they actually have all those instruments in the store.

They have a lot of things - is that all in the store?

My main problems when dealing with bax was not the European leg of the journey, it was actually the bit that involved Hermes, who lost my bass, but then it got strangely found two months later. Actually, no, it was lack of contact

I have used the amoon one around the house for ages and haven't had a problem. I have no non active basses any more.

Shouldn't?

Well, that is how a large number of companies that sell basses here work (certainly bax, dv247 etc), they are european companies with a british branch. It wasn't a problem as you could just ship them quickly. I am sure all of those places aren't hiding anything from you, its just what they do as until the end of the year, we can buy things from whereever without additional problems. Obviously post brexit we will solve that, its no longer going to be viable to get stuff shipped!

A sorry, didn't really follow the thread, I like the stingrays but the neck is not for me. there is the other option then, move the other pole pieces back and plastic top them, so that they are all still level!
