    Elixir Nanoweb for me - pricey but they last for ages and tension has always seemed ok for me. Tapered is handy for Warwick’s as the fat ones sometimes don’t fit through the bridge anchor without filing the bridge or squashing the string with pliers 😂

    Yeah I like a 130 B String personally. That is a lovely bass and with a fabulous grain 👍🏻👍🏻

    Sad to be asked to stand down over something so basic! Hope your leaders might see the light and ask you to get involved again !
  4. Risk101
    You and me both, although I prefer Burl or Birdseye natural personally !! 😂

    I think most of us can relate to this experience Richard although thankfully I’m not also responsible for sorting out our livestream or words projection !!!
  6. Risk101
    Yep - that is “mad” but it’s very nice!

    Nice job! The Warwick on the left is my favourite - Ltd edition?

    Block inlays my fave, but either way there are excellent stick on ones ! Dot inlays could be done v cheaply and easily by a competent luthier or carpenter …! lovely lovely bass GLWTS

    Ooh thanks! It sounds killer too. If I didn’t have the Spector and the Warwick this would be a keeper! Basschatters - hit me up with sensible offers !! (Whatever sensible means !)

    Ahh yes - I think most Euros LX are 9lb+, and the USA stuff can be very heavy (relatively speaking!!). Are the RSTs chambered or just well chosen woods?
  11. Risk101
    Ahh yes - happy to post pretty much anywhere. I’ve got several bass boxes I could use. Would be insured obviously. Collection would be Essex or London or can meet up around the M25 for the Southerners!!
  12. Risk101
    Hang on a minute 9lb is featherweight for a Spector !! 😂
  13. Risk101
    Thanks - yes they are vary rare indeed, even the more “common” sunburst ones. I’ve been asked about string spacing and it has the Fender bridge with grooved saddles, so you can adjust between (I think) 18mm and 19mm or thereabouts. Current measure across all 5 strings at bridge is 75mm.

    Thanks very much - yeah it’s super versatile with the active/passive options. Fantastic “P” sound obviously but also can produce uber-modern jazz tones Forgot to mention it’s a comfy 9lb on the bathroom scales 👍🏻
  15. Risk101
    Sold !
  16. Risk101
    This is ridiculously cheap - new this would set you back over £2k. Amazed it’s still here ! If if didn’t have too many 5ers already I’d leap on this ! Lovely colour too. Hope it sells soon.

    Thought I’d share this as there was a lovely time of worship (using the song “make room” at the end of our service and the sound (on decent headphones!) was pretty good. Jump to 1 hour 33 mins for the bit I’m referring to!!
  18. Risk101
    Love the Thumb. As you say, that grain is exceptional !! 👍🏻
  19. Risk101
    Lovely - could you say what year this is - can’t quite make it out from the pic also the weight would be useful. thanks

    These basses seem to be highly regarded - nice video demonstrating it here although it’s in German! looks like the same colour bass as yours with the white pickguard you mention. presume yours is 34” scale 19mm string spacing and usually not too heavy it seems GLWTS
  21. Risk101
    Considering the price of the quite similar PJ5 hybrids at BassDirect this looks great value for money! Harry is a great seller too. GLWTS mate!
  22. Risk101
    Lovely basses these - we seem to share a weakness for black 5 string basses 😂 GLWTS !

    Colleague at work asked me to do a set up on this bass for his son. It only had two strings on it when he brought it in. Cleaned fretboard, restrung, saddle height adjusted (was ludicrously high!) intonation adjusted. Neck pretty straight once it had 4 strings on! he hadn’t realised it was active and as I didn’t have an amp I couldn’t see what it does - battery had Japanese characters on it so might be quite old!! Can anyone say what the two switches might do ?!?! Quite a bit of gaffer tape round the cabling so it may or may not be original. all he knows is that his son will be happy to be playing 4 strings instead of just 2 !!! 😂😂

    Really interesting to read all this and to see how other churches do things from an AV perspective I'm surprised 4 bassists aren't enough really, unless maybe you are running multiple services each Sunday (which we did for a while)? I find if I'm not playing at least every other week or so, its much harder to stay familiar with the songs and to have a sense of "team". I'd be interested to know what other bassists think about the optimum playing frequency. Crack on with your learning and in addition to learning from your current bassists have a think about getting some lessons maybe? I had been playing for years when I decided to get some lessons from a pro-bassist and it absolutely transformed my playing - was also great to get an external "secular" perspective on playing bass as so much worship stuff is repetitive and predictable so you can end up playing in the same way the whole time. Sounds a bit of a contradiction, but its made it easier to worship while playing! It was also nice to share some of our music with him!

    Oooh that’s lovely !!
