  1. Passive-mode sire v7 with my zoom b2’s ampeg patch and quite loud. The active patch doesn’t sound as good - lady who runs the OM pulled a face at active mode, confirming what I myself thought
  2. @police squad
  3. That’s interesting. For me the string spacing made the difference between a keeper and a “for sale” sign
  4. It looks very much like the bigger rounded 70s style - which I much prefer aesthetically. Obvious it would be preferable not attached to a guitar …
  5. It will be harder for them to come back and pinch it nothing bass-related as no one here understands bass. Eldest D is pictured playing a @Prosebass 5 at about three years old and twanging a jap jazz bass at around eight months but that’s the closest I got
  6. What if it’s vintage tonewood? 🍿 I’m also assuming that a longer g string screw on the bridge saddle makes it sound different also
  7. Big headstock strat, approve of that
  8. I bought an Ibanez srx 5 and it was so wide that it was painful to play. I gave up on 5s then I bought a sire v7/5 which is very tightly spaced and it is almost capable of playing itself. my philosophy for 5 is this: 1. don’t try and use the b 2. if something can be played more easily using the B above fret 4 then do it. There are no prizes for making your life harder, suffering is not a virtue 3. avoid open strings by using the B - no open E, play across from B, fret 5 you have to know what you want from your 5 in order to be able to get its best value
  9. I’d look to spend a bit more on a sire v7/5 the string spacing makes a bass work for you or not IME
  10. Thanks @Rosie C gutted as I did really well for a change and the lady hostess told me I “smashed it”. Pub is quiet Jan and feb so first one is March. It’s the only really local one around me
  11. I don’t have my usual one in coalvile again until March
  12. I’m thinking of dipping a toe into EUB What strings do they use? TY
  13. I sense a competition … how about the 2026 Gear non-abstinence competition? the winner is the most frantic buyer of shiny things, with bonus points for “buyers remorse” swift offloading ? Equal bonus for donating it to charity when the dopamine hit wears off
  14. It just needs a little fairy sparkle to be photo-shopped on
