  1. Let me tell you a story … years ago I tried 5 string and I totally didn’t get it. I sold that aria magna 5 i bought a sire v7 5 and it just worked … but my thoughts also changed to what actually worked don’t buy a 5 string expecting to use those low notes, that opportunity will be vanishingly rare use that low string only when you realise that you’d need to use open strings on a four string example : teenaged dirtbag e a b a using open strings it is a muting nightmare but playing accross from fret 5 of b string, it is not and you can easily shift up or down to suit the singer
  2. I echo this as I have been fortunate enough to hold one of these marvellous creations @Jabba_the_gut you might also like the work of @Simo
  3. Especially if that something is a belt 👍
  4. Yes, those pesky children and their ridiculous demands for food, clothes, warmth and shelter. I mean WTF is that all about.? 🤷‍♂️
  5. My point was that you can make it sound p bass like. Think outside of the box
  6. V7 isn’t - Theres a green one in marketplace take a look
  7. Sire v7 5 i have stopped playing anything else. Gets very low action with narrow spacing it is jazz-ish but you can get a p sound in passive mode if you fiddle
  8. I’m uncertain, but it’s possible given @Richard R and his gracious offer of a lift I had been made redundant but am in a grace period for reinstatement so was going to be a NO for financial reasons but if Mondays chat with their recruiter (who contacted me) goes well it may be possible after all
  9. For a dolls-house? Judging by the flannel just in-shot that looks about as big as the wood block
  10. And here, where you’re just a junior Or perhaps in the House of Lords
  11. I’ve never had it, but with some sauce and some pepper it sounds ok? It’s not that far off bubble and squeak
  12. Not carrying a gun? small portions? International travel?
  13. I was in Morrisons and this geezer kept apologising for each time that he kept reaching in front of me. Polite… but he stank like a corpse dipped in brine and coated in liquid dead guitarist with chocolate sprinkles - my thought was “jeez, soap is neither expensive nor a second thought, dude” Hang on .. you said “irrational”
  14. Never been higher than three, one acoustic and purely for jamming. 4 string is a constant since 2005 (she bought it) 5 string is latest in a fairly short line of jazz bass, p bass, this five string YEAH I know #lettingthesidedown #notaproperBCmember #hejustdoesnotgettherelentlessaquisitionthing #heycouldbeworse_leastimnotaguitard
  15. Mine would stop at the first part “red ones sound better for Motown” wouldn’t work. She can see one has five strings and has some advantages for playability, ones an acoustic bass and one she bought for me and I won’t sell. simples
  16. It looks cramped with 7, perhaps my finger counting isn’t working
  17. I watched it in German once, they really didn’t capture all the jokes
  18. I did not know you were putting those in.
  19. Also good tone on the gold top toy bass there
  20. Not any more sadly. Don’t dabble with this wood. Cheap for a reason
  21. See my build thread - I had the worst time with that stuff. It drinks grain filler like I drink expresso I just painted it on, it drank it. I put some more on …
  22. Hell has a special place for those who meddle with toy basses. Specially trained imps will use your butt for pitchfork target practice and that’s if you’re get off lightly
  23. Waiting with baited breath 🤞
  24. Electric scooters on the road, no regard for, and taking no responsibility for their own safety
