This is the advice you are looking for. I am biased and love my MTD Kinsgton. But that aside, it has hit it's resale floor and it will be an easy way to get your money out again if 5 is not for you. I know we all dream that we will bond with THE ONE but the reality is that what we are looking for changes and not taking a huge 40% hit on money in an instrument is a very good thing. Preamp yes or no? As soon as the drummer and guitarmageddon kick in, no one is going to be saying "dude, you tone was speaking to me. Your subtle lift at 2Khz let me see into your soul." More bass? Yes. More treble? Yes. Less of both? Yes. I am aware that this is a contentious opinion.

Thanks. I suspected there might be info in the thread, but 350 pages made feel weak. And being BC, someone actually know the answer straight away.

I am guessing this is where the Yamaha bods hang out. I have a 5 string BB425 (I think) and would love a chrome control plate like the one in this picture because you can never have enough chrome. Does anyone have any idea where I might buy one? Google has given me somewhere in Indonesia which is entirely cool, but I was wondering about somewhere closer?

This is obviously not a proper uke bass.

Thanks, I am actually looking for software to broadcast services. Zoom is fine because it is ubiquitous so not an issue for our more mature members. But the audio is driving me nuts. I have tried the bonkers compression/limiting, but that has not made it better. It is possible that the audio is dodgy throughout but not showing so on spoken word.

It is a pedalboard thang which came with a bunch of George L cables. Ta.

Ta. I would use YT, but we cannot have the community multiple screens thing then. Any other thoughts? Zoom visually is fine, the audio is just bizzare.

Sadly, they were all ticked. Does anyone have any suggestions for web based online video meeting portals which are not Zoom? Google Meet is ok on computer without a google account but needs a google account for phone/tablet access.

I have a 36" scale 6 string strung with a bottom F# which is a tone above E0. It is epic for the end of songs to play the octave below. It is also great to be able to play the 4th below as an upbeat to the root of the chord on the B string. Having a 6th string makes my brain melt, but that is a different problem.

Who did the hydrodipping?

I am DIGGING that. Tell me more. How did you do it?

It was going to be you or HJ.

So good I said it twice. Somehow?!?!?!

Harsh but fair I might change the pickups so it might all get some love.

That brings the funk.

I have these on a bass. I like them but the rubber rings were perishing and looking lame. I bought a boxfull of O rings for a 5er and now they are spruce and lush again. Just in case anyone else is in the same boat. The new ones are just a bit thicker so better cornering.

Sad times

Still liking mine. I even have a little rampesque thing at the end of my fingerboard. You are correct, it is not a bass for slap. But I have not slapped in anger for..... I am not sure if I ever have.

It is white?
