    Top level geeking. Good job!

    If I was not in the NW I would be in that queue.

    Very yes. Remind me how you are hoping to string it? I have a 5 string Uke bass which is vaguely the same scale strung with Kala nylon core/metal wrap strings. I am at standard bass guitar pitch. The only issue is I do not think there is enough metal in them to interest a magnetic pickup.

    If I was anywhere near Wimbledon I would be all over this like a bad rash.

    Bargainous.

    Hmmmmm..... on reflection, by the time I have posted them to yur man OBBM or just bought a replacement lead I will be nearly £40 into a new pair of DT770s @ £100 odd so I think I will bite the bullet and splash the cash. The ear velvet things are a bit loose as well so........ But thanks for your contributions which have helped focus my thought process

    You are very wise. I will drop it in the post.

    I have a pair of DT250 cans. They are old but have plenty of life left in them. However the jack plug has died (it is moulded so there is no way in). I am now back to the bare cable and there are 4 wires in there. How does that translate into stereo? How do I wire that up? Be gentle with me. Thanks

    For me the whole Mingus thing is a bit like Monk. A lot of what Monk plays is pretty out there (and I am not talking about "outside" harmony), but it works just because it is him playing. Someone else playing the same notes would not work. It is as if what he is saying trancends the actual music. I am aware that this would qualify for pseuds corner, but that is how I hear it. And again, it is just as well that there is something for everyone. For the record, I think Rhubarb is wrong. And sprouts.

    There is something for everyone out there, as we all agree. What does it for me here is the vibe.

    As easy as you could possibly hope for.

    Korean MTD - It was not shifting on here years ago. it went down to £180 and I bought it on a punt. The loveliest neck, lightweight and wears TI Jazz Rounds exceedingly well. Nothing not to love. There was one in the Gallery last time I was in for £299. I nearly bought it.

    I like to keep a few around

    I had LeBlond make me a lead box once. They made me one to my size. I often thought of getting them to make me a case for a smaller instrument.

    Contego for me. I knocked mine over the other day. I did not flinch because I knew it was protected. I know I am late, but just putting it here for reference.

    Ta. Just picked one up for that price. Rude not to.

    One of the long term posters stripped a 5 string one. It looked great.

    And if you are self employed on a low wage then the Tories just stopped the National Insurance cut they promised 2 years ago. And if we had an opposition with half a clue they would be creaming the present government. Sorry to derail your thread dood. I hope UPS pull their finger out and do what they have been paid to do.

    This. We have remarkably high employment. But a LOT of the jobs suck badly. You would not catch Cameron/Osbourne and their ilk (because it is them who have created it) doing work like this. Ban me for being political, I don't care. And the aforementioned politicians do not either.

    Meris Enzo - ooooooh!

    Owen replied to Owen's topic in Effects

    With a Meris preset switch so that you can switch between 4 sounds.

    I play 5 string DB, EUB, Plank and Uke. I like that low B. I have no trouble incorporating it. I am not dismissing anyone else's experience, just throwing in the concept that they are out there and completely usable. I even had an Innovation Rockabilly low B made. That was an expensive job. I did not keep it as it re-defined the concept of "dull thud". I think that modding the Stagg is just chucking money away (I have a lot of experience of doing that), and having the strings that close together would be a nightmare. I would suggest that you put the call out (as you kind of have) for a 5 string EUB local to you and go and mess with it.

    Curvy like a sucked boiled sweet. In a good way.
