They have the new black JMJ Mustang listed at 20% off! If I weren’t so unemployed right now I’d be jumping all over that https://guitarvillage.co.uk/products/fender-jmj-road-worn-mustang-bass-black

I’m a little worried about this too. I placed an order for assorted gym equipment on the day the lockdown was announced! An example of my impeccable timing.

Congrats @Old Horse Murphy! Beware though. It’s potentially a gateway drug into the world of multi scale bass. Soon, like me, you’ll have Dingwalls sprouting from every orifice!

I saw these the other day. To be honest I’d been eyeing the LB100s up for a while anyway but then I saw the even further reduced prices (as you say, the previous prices were already fantastic value) and now my GAS has risen exponentially. Despite the fact I have no need for another 4 string bass as I mainly play 5s! Oh and I just bought another Dingwall. Still. The white LB100 with blocks is painfully tempting

What bass are you playing at the moment?

Wow, I wasn’t expecting them to be so cheap. If they’re as good as everyone above would suggest, these are an absolute steal.

I’m Still Waiting by Diana Ross. Yet another James Jamerson fingerboard workout. Got to play it twice a day every day for 2 months over the Panto season and my god...what a challenge.

+1 D’Addario EXLs are really nice strings. Certainly a good place to start.

More questions. Do you care about size/portability? Will you be wanting to use it as a recording interface too? Is iPhone/Android compatibility important to you? Will you at any stage want to use it without plugging into a mains wall socket?

@Danny_777 what’s your budget?

Why hello!

Dingwall Super PJ5. Although, I bought a new (used) Super P4 a week ago, before my tour got cancelled. That purchase has not aged well

Curious. Any sound demos of the new pickup soloed and blended with the Bridge J pickup?

I should probably have asked what your budget was! Glad to hear you’ve found something though - fingers crossed it’ll work out nicely for you

Bit of configurator playtime while stuck at home. Simple and clean this time, nothing fancy.

Actually, I bought it to use with my synthy effects board. I was planning to get Jon Shuker to install an Aguilar Octamizer pedal into the control cavity of mine but I didn’t do it in the end as it’s just as easy keeping the pedal on my board along with my other octavers/filters/fuzzes etc. Also, it’s small enough to fly with and carry on as hand luggage (once all this Corona bollocks dies down!)

Nope. They sound like you’ve put a capo at the 12th fret of your full-scale 6 string bass. Still sounds like a bass!

I’ve got a Razer Blade Pro 17” Absolute powerhouse machine that I use for everything. Gaming-wise I can run any AAA title on High or Ultra settings with no problems. It has a thunderbolt 3 port in addition to the usual USB ports so you can use thunderbolt 3 (and USB-C) audio interfaces like the Universal Audio Arrow or new Arturia Audiofuse range for example. It has a hybrid storage setup too. A 256gb SSD drive and a 2tb HDD. I’ve got a ton of files on it and I’m yet to run out of space, though I always install game files to the larger HDD to free up the SSD. To clarify, mine is the 2017 model with the trackpad off to the right of the keyboard. The newer 2019 model has the trackpad in the more traditional centre location and has different specs.

Ohhh. My bad, sorry man! That’s a great price. I paid way more than that for my custom Wingbass. Prices are in $ but where are the basses made?

Looks like a cool concept. Prices start at $1400 though, not $400!
