Now there is one less in their actual stock.

I guessed so, but I was friends with her decades ago and it would have been very cool if she was on here.

I have been around the Uke Bass block once or twice. The upshot is that the nature of the strings are not hifi and zingy so there really is not much to go wrong on them. You can spend more money than I care to admit to publicly and get some stupendously built instruments. But the bottom line is as long as the piezo bridge is seated properly the rest is not a big deal. It gives a lovely dull thud

Tauzero, are you Rachel?

Not mine. I could never land on a definitive combination for long enough. But the structure of this looks lush.

Tru dat.

You could get a bog standard WAV one 2nd hand and get it fretted. My fretted one was full fat. My present fretless is a WAV one. If there is a difference then it is minimal.

I will have to plug into my big speakers! My laptop is not registering any difference

I am just glad I no longer need to hold my breath!

I have been holding my breath, but feel that I am about to burst.....

I have owned one. I sold it, cos I NEEDED something else. We all know how it is. I really enjoyed it. I would probably not sell it if I still owned it. Tone wise, it sounds like a bass guitar. As a DB player, what I hugely enjoyed was the right hand articulation. There is something about my hand falling in that way which feels very much like home. Would I buy another? Possibly yes, but the prices are significant. But then the prices for anything new are significant by now. I remember all this when it was fields.

Please do not read anything into this statement other than my massive appreciation for Chad Smith. Any band with Chad Smith in it is going to be cooking on gas.

I teach on a Music Tech course. One of the activities is letting our DJs loose on the lunchtime crowd in the canteen. We leave the PA system up there (QSC KW122 and KW181 Sub) and part of the activity is for them to rig it, run it and de-rig it. Sometimes I wander past the canteen when they are doing a set. It is fair to say that they have not yet grasped the concept of sub not overpowering the tops

I am looking forward to those

It is just like eavesdropping on a friendly chat by people who know what they are talking about.

I love this thread

Sorry Mike, but you are not dealing with facts here. 2005 cannot possibly be 19 years ago.

This is not aimed at the OP or anyone who has responded. I bang on about this every time this topic comes up. I wish someone had in the early 80s when I was laying the foundations of my hearing problems. You can experiment with systems which are not moulded. But why bother? I would sell all my basses and associated kit if I could buy new ears. I cannot. If £150 is more than you can afford, then that is fair enough. But if it is remotely affordable, or you have to save up for a few months then do it. Get them with a lanyard in them. Get them in a lurid colour so that when you drop them you can find them. If you really want to treat yourself then get some of their sleeping ones at the same time. Complete game changers. But do not skimp on your ears. Ever.

Overwater vibes. In a good way.
