Total Watts

  1. 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 …
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. Big headstock strat, approve of that
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. I don’t have my usual one in coalvile again until March
  9. I’m thinking of dipping a toe into EUB What strings do they use? TY
  10. 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
  11. It just needs a little fairy sparkle to be photo-shopped on
  12. I’d quite like that if someone took the flattened battleship off the front do two pickups so close together give a markedly different sound?
  13. If you mean me, I just mean “paying for the name”, “it’s us-made”, “it’s vintage” etc kind of vanity where as @Lozz196 (I think) suggested in the past, the giveback for the premium price is tapered at best
  14. Literally any bass that I buy is going to be more capable of sounding good than I am of making it sound so. I have a sire v7/5 and it is light years ahead of me, therefore c. £500 is where I draw the line between “good” and “vanity”
  15. He’s the new @AndyTravis 👍
