  1. Have a trawl through the "Basses For Sale", there's plenty of nice 5 strings to choose from there, and at many different price points, from affordable to lottery win.
  2. Skybone

    Setting up

    Had to do it a few times on various humbucker loaded guitars, just take your time.
  3. Skybone

    Setting up

    Raise the G string polepiece & lower the E string polepiece. Only do say a quarter turn of the screw, then try it out. Obviously, don't leave it plugged when you're adjusting the polepieces.
  4. Try: https://www.rickysounds.co.uk/product-category/keywinds/ https://www.soundaffects.com/accessories-c59/guitar-parts-c63/rickenbacker-bass-machinehead-set-4001-4003-5000550-p2025 https://www.soundaffects.com/accessories-c59/guitar-parts-c63/single-bass-machinehead-4001-4003-5000550-p3710 Or just carefully try and bend it back.
  5. Tech21 VTBass 500? Very tempted by the ThunderBass just for mucking about at home.
  6. Love Hawkwind, especially the Lemmy era. Space Ritual is one of my all time favourites. Saw them numerous times from the mid-80's through to the mid-90's, always a great live show, even when they started to up the synth content in the songs. It was always interesting to see what guitars Dave Brock was using, as he always used "affordable" guitars, Ibanez Artist's and Westone Spectrum's. The Alan Davey years were great too, lots of Rickenbacker growl, and Lemmy-sequel lines. Seen a few Hawkwind off shoots, Huw Lloyd Langton, Alan Davey's band. Great stuff.
  7. In the Heat of the Night - Quincy Jones or Whitesnake
  8. Love the Guild B's, though the B302 is the one I'd go for. Lovely looking bass you have there @Paul S, enjoy!
  9. Wow, beautiful, another one of those 'always fancied one', if I'd not bought a 4003 recently, would have been very tempted. GLWTS.
  10. Presonus: https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/presonus-audiobox-usb-96-audio-interface Focusrite Scarlet: https://www.andertons.co.uk/recording/audio-interfaces/usb-audio-interfaces/focusrite-scarlett-solo-3rd-generation (good price too!) M-Audio: https://www.andertons.co.uk/recording/audio-interfaces/usb-audio-interfaces/m-audio-air-192-4-2-in-2-out-24-192-usb-audio-interface (used M-Audio kit for ages, have an old M-Track interface) The Presonus one is the only one with MIDI at that price point. And Studio One Artist is pretty Good too.
  11. Mr Kiwanuka is rather good isn't he.
  12. As NickD said, if you haven't already got an interface for your PC, then buy one that has a DAW bundled in with it. If you do already have an interface, then maybe look at Reaper (never used it personally), though Pro Tools do a free starter (Pro Tools First). Cubase is good, but can be a bugger to set up.
  13. Great looking bass, nice one. Very jealous, fancied one of those for years.
  14. Another recommendation for another pair of Sennheisers. https://en-uk.sennheiser.com/over-ear-headphones?order_by=created_at-desc&page=2 They have an offer on the HD 200 Pro's at the moment, £43 inc. postage. Seems ideal.
  15. Rain - The Cult Rain - Status Quo I Can't Stand the Rain - Tina Turner
