Hi I have recently brought an Ibanez AGB200 Ibanez AGB200 and is a lovely bass but I cannot find a hardcase for it. I have emailed Gear4music and Andertons and they have said that the specific Ibanez case is not available to the UK and they do not know which other cases will fit. Hoping someone here can advise on a hardcase that will fit, as this bass will be loaded into a van for gigs it has to be a hardcase Thank you in advance for any suggestions/help with this

Hi all, I am a complete noob to iem (I know nothing at all about them) I currently use ear plugs when I play gigs, are there any iem's that will do the job of enabling me to hear myself but also protect my hearing? Or am I better off just sticking with ear plugs and eq'ing in some extra mids to enable me to hear myself better? Thank you

Ok so I tried it, fortunately my chorus pedal is a cheapy so I was able to try it out with minimal cost involved. I like it, stacked 2 pedals, similar sound to one on its own but a more intense effect.

Hi Just wanted to know if stacking 2 of the same chorus pedal with the same settings on each will give a more intense effect than just using the one pedal ? Thanks

I am tempted by the Artcore AGB200, there's a lot to like, SG body shape, binding, short scale, the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger is that I am not after a thumpy tone so I suspect I would need to use quite a lot of EQ to get my current mid heavy tone but for £500ish I am still really tempted.

No, more like the bass part at the end of this song is more what I'm going for YouTube - Monaco - what do you want from me

Thank you for the no nonsense reply, just saved me the cost of the pedal

Does anyone have experience with this pedal? My band has a couple of songs where the bass goes really high up the neck, I have a bass with 24 frets but I would rather just take one bass to rehearsals and gigs, how is the octave up function on this and is it good enough that I could use it to go up an octave on a bass solo? Thanks

Hi I am interested in these strings, am after something low tension, I know these are supposed to be lower tension than average but how much lower? For example would a 100-40 nickel set of these be similar tension to your average 95-40 set of nickel rounds?(average being something like Daddario XL or Fender Nickel) thank you

Thanks for the replies, I ended up going with a cheapie option for now, the Hofner shorty, is actually pretty good for the money, setup is good, action is low, sounds surprisingly full considering the placement of the pickup. I may get something higher end in time but this is good for now

Thanks for the replies, I am seriously tempted by the Ibanez talman short scale 5 string.... But... Will I be able to get along with a 5 string?

Thanks for the replies, some good suggestions.

Playing a lot more New order bass lines recently and my band will be adding Monaco What do you want from me to our set list and I am finding I am running out of frets, does anyone make a 24 fret short scale with 19mm spacing? I have seen a Stagg bass that fits the bill but Stagg basses are a bit of gamble quality wise. I am tempted to get one of the short scale Ibanez 5 string basses and string it E to C but I fear I may not gel with a 5 string Thanks

Yes, either that or Fender being misleading about "Fender spec" setup, I played a Squier once (I know it's not a Fender but made by Fender so as good as) that had the most horrific fret buzz. I only discovered it when I lowered the action from what must have been a 5mm action, someone had blatantly raised the action to hide the fret buzz.
