Ah, the original Enfield Driveway configuaration. BIg enough to park your car on.

I lke things to be in their place. To bring this back on topic I did a series of gigs where backline was provided. The SVT experience was new to me and I cannot deny that I enjoyed it. But one venue had a knackered specimen which did not work. They wheeled out a Turbosound sidefill for me. The LF extension was addictive. I am convinced I was hearing an octave which was just not present from the SVT. A 5 string 40" scale NS EUB gets really solid on the B with the right cab behind it.

One logo in the wrong place........unsettling.......

Install the J retro in a metal box and put on the floor. Best of both worlds. And then you can use it with other basses as well.

Lots of nice things happening there.

I had an Audere in a Kingston with the original pickup. I should never have changed it. Idiot I am. The low Z setting spoke with the voice of thunder.

My experience with my NS was that changing strings changed the sound, but changing bridge height was pretty radical as well. I went to a set of Inno Honeys with a jacked up bridge and it was literally like a different instrument.

Nice!

If it was not metallic orange with a matching headstock, I would consider it. I am so shallow, I will confess publically that I bought it primarily for the colour. The fact that is is nice to play and sounds good is a double bonus.

It's the neck. Just fabulous. I have actually owned a full fat US one back in the day but was not as neck aware at the time so missed it. I am kicking myself now.

It never is

It was. And discussing basses is better than watching the rugby at the moment

One appeared on Ebay and went for £350 recently. Bargainous. But they are really nice and people hold onto them.

It all looks so easy I am fully aware that it is not!

I can certainly find the right length pots and am I happy with soldering. For "I" in that sentence, read "my mate, the tech".

Thanks Maude. I do like a bit of Chrome-age. I think I will do it. I am well past caring abou resale

Does anyone have a double humbucker 5 String Bongo scratchplate they could scan for me? TIA.

Ummmmmm......I don't think I am.

No. But the mixer might be packed away whereas the interface will be ready to go.

Uhhhhh..... yes!! Top job.

I have no idea. But whoever has an idea will want pictures!
