If I had 500 I'd probably look to get a 2nd hand nanyo bass collection 5 string. Great neck and the come in various models so I'd just wait till I found the right pup variation I wanted. Saying that I've just recently got a cort 5 string.. single cut. A but iut your price range but I would 100% recommend it if you can push the budget up. I would also suspect the cort ones in your range are also fantastic!

Looks lovely! As a matter of interest, the pups you took out were also Bartolini? the ones in mine are Bartolini but presumable the US versions were an upgrade? or did yours have something differently completely?

treat yourself! Thomann have it alot cheaper than anywhere else and weirdly the price i got it was 733, it then was 729, now its 725!... who knows where it stops!

I've been looking to get a 5 for a wee while then I saw a local band a few weeks ago and the bassist was playing one of these. It looked and sounded great and in fact I thought it was something a bit exotic. After a bit of googling I realised it was a cort and a very reasonable price for what you get. Got it today. First impressions is it sounds great. The string spacing feels close so will take a bit to get used to but don't think it will take long as it feels pretty comfortable. Love the look of it though. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea and it definitely wouldn't have been my cup of tea even 10 years ago, but amazing how tastes change!

I don't mind them. I dep in a few wedding bands who run them and my own band use them. I see them as an extra bit of sheen to the whole sound.. bit of keys or synth for bands that don't have a keys player and maybe a bit of bvs . Also great for a shaker or something. If the tracks start to have solos or they have parts that the players on stage should be playing, the line has been crossed!

https://www.soundclick.com/lefrash/?content=songs I was in a wee online community for a few years which was about writing and recording a tune a month on a theme. I think this was a movie theme! https://www.soundclick.com/lefrash/?content=songs

Sturdy keyboard stand raising the amp up to closer to ear level?

Edited I thought the music you were playing was classic rock. Dunno where I got that from I would probably just match what the guitarist does. If he can play those tunes a step up then chances are it will sound and play fine a step up on bass too.

Not music related but I'm pretty certain old point and shoot digital cameras will start going for ridicoolous money.

I've got a patch set up like this for the odd gig i go through an amp. Left is full on amp sim/cab sim for FOH... the right is signal chain with no amp/cab sims to go to the onstage amp. Works a treat!

I would love a Warwick corvette but with a neck that sits lower in the pocket, so that the strings and pickups sit closer to the body. For some reason i find basses that have strings so far away from the body uncomfortable to play!

That white one is lovely!

my 10 year+ old Protection Racket is beggining to fall apart. This could very well be the replacement! Thank you!

I have an XR18 and absoilutely love it. As an in ear monitor system, its astonishing value. One question i have though is I've noticed that if I set up two channels to be stereo linked on one scene, but then load up a different scene, the stereo link remains on. Everything else changes exactly how I'd expect between scenes, apart from the stereo linking. Does anyone know if there's a reason for this, and is there anything I can do to stop it? This is on the behringer app if that makes a difference.

I've been scammed out of 180 quid on here years ago as I did a bank transfer and then the item got "lost in the post". Bit of research led me find out I wasn't his first victim! Almost all deals will be fine but just be aware that's there's no 100% guarantee!

I had a red aerodyne jazz with black scratch plate. Massive regret treating it like shit and then selling it for peanuts.

I've got the xr18 and the l12; the smaller version of the l20. Both are excellent things, but theres definately pros and cons on both sides. The recording on the l12 was a dream ! literally a few seconds and your multitrack recording. For my purposes though, the ability for each member to control their own mix was the clincher for the xr18. And, I've mounted a small pc with reaper in the rack too, meaning its just a matter of bringing my mini portable monitor along any time i want to record. I've got a preset set up on reaper so thats theres limited set up required. More faff, but still an acceptable amount of faff to be abel to record multitracks!

I use the xr18. I also run it in the house as the heart of my studio! I love it. I use the internal router at home and never had an issue but I do have an external router housed in the 4u rack as I don't totally trust the internal one. It's never failed at home though! I also have a mini pc running reaper so it's always ready to record . Nor got experience of the xr16 but the extra aux mixes were the deal breaker for me. And, the drummer cam go stereo in ears to get a bit more audio separation in his ears. Well worth the extra money even if you don't instantly think you need 6 monitor mixes. The unit has never failed or crashed on me and its probably seen 300 hours of use. Regarding the app. I actually prefer the behringer app over what most people recommend using, mixing station. Although it does take a wee bit of patience to get your head round but one you do it's pretty straight forward. I have a 'show' setup for home studio and another for live. In live I then have a blank scene, then multiple different scenes for places and rehersal rooms we've played. I then can just pull up whatever mix we used last time! When I go home I then just pull up home studio and it's ready to rock. I also change "layer" from home use to live use. That is essentially how the app is laid out. For band which is always just for iem mixes, I remove everything g other than the 7 channels we use, and then the 4 effects returns. So dies the other band members. But I also save a different layer for home use and for a full desk if I'm running foh. Dunno why I rambled on about the app, but there ye go.

I absolutely love a 1x18!

If its a pedaltrain board, then somthing like this would fit over the existing feet: https://www.diy.com/departments/diall-black-thermoplastic-vulcanizates-tpv-leg-tip-dia-32mm-pack-of-2/1725483_BQ.prd Can't remember if it was this exact size, but this type of leg tip raised my nanoplus enough to put the power underneath. Mine stayed on purely with friction, but a wee touch of superglue wouldn't go wrong, without the need to make any permanent changes to your board!

My stomp very occasionally starts up with no output at all. Tuner works, but theres no signal being sent outwards. not sure if its a glitch of the unit or maybe just an anomoly of my preset but a quick off and on has always fixed it.

dont beleive it is. I think all the cab modellers are within the amp models. Could just work one out with an EQ or two within the ms60b though cos a cab sim is just essentually an eq

Any old usb/midi convertor cable will do I'm pretty certain. I'm still using a £15 one from 20 years ago and it works flawlessly. Just a matter of choosing the USB device once your in cubase and record away!

Get an old 300w 1x15 Trace Elliot. Plenty loud. Plus, if you have space to store it, you could pick up an extension cab for peanuts that would result in you having a rig that would pretty much do any gig.
