Yes, I know it is a Gotoh, but what model? I must have bougth it a good 10 years ago. I need 2 new saddles, but cannot find this model anywhere on-line. I could put a new bridge on (Badass would cover present bridge real-estate) but new saddles would be less hassle. [attachment=2435:DSCN3476.JPG] Thanks y'all.

Try here [url="http://www.gearonline.co.uk/gearlist.htm"]http://www.gearonline.co.uk/gearlist.htm[/url] Also the Yamahas Dood suggested look great P7000s in the above link new for £410 P2500s in sounds live new for £233! It does 1.3Kw bridged into 4 ohms. Whether that is RMS is not clear though.

Last time I saw them the bass the guy was using the bridge collapsed mid-song! He set the whole thing up and and retuned etc ready for the next song. Every bass player or fan of music must check this band out. It likes a bunch of jazz acid fueled jazz/dance heads fronted by a japanese James Belushi. Mental.[/quote] No idea when or where I'm afraid. The collapsing bridge was one of the reasons that he was not digging the basses as provided and the tour manager needed other options.

Band are here [url="http://www.jvcmusic.co.jp/soilpimp/eng/index_eng.html"]http://www.jvcmusic.co.jp/soilpimp/eng/index_eng.html[/url] Thanks again.

Doh! Thwaites! Why did I not think before posting? The www makes me lazy. I cannot remember the name of the band but I will find out. Thanks

I have a friend who needs to hire a double bass for a couple of weeks for a jazz band he is road managing. I know that there are hire companies such as Matt Snowball etc but he has tried them and the bassist in question was not loving it. Any suggestions as to other sources for a nicer instrument to hire? Ta, like.

Korg G5. Lots of fun and does not have the kudos, and therefore the ££££££££££ of the DI. I love mine.

I picked up an MTD Kingston for £150 here (or wherever we were at the time). I might re wind the pick up (Wizard £35), dump an East MM-a-like pre in £95 and you are away. I absolutely LOVE the MTD, it is lighter than a light thing, cheap so that I don't have to look after it and the neck is JUST FABULOUS (if you like wide and thin). I cannot speak highly enough of it. [quote name='Bigwan' post='52686' date='Aug 30 2007, 11:16 AM']Hi guys, Just looking other people's input here. I'm looking into a budget/mid-priced 5 string at the minute. I'd ideally like something that sounds like a Musicman 5 but with wider string spacing (19mm if possible). I sold off my MM5 I had because I couldn't get along with the string spacing. Can anyone think of something that fits the bill? I was really excited when I heard that Ibanez were re-releasing the ATK range, until I heard that the spacing on the new 305 is 16.5mm! The mid-90's version is 19mm but they're as rare as rocking horse poo! The ones I can think of (without going custom) are MTD imports (kingston and heir), Lakland 5502 (out of my current pricerange), mid-90's ATKs... Looking to stay around/under the £400 mark. Anyone think of anything else? Cheers Ian[/quote]
