    I have to this year as I have a gig after, and i’m not leaving it in the car! Si

    Heard Owen Biddle playing the 3 p’up version in LA recently, sounded fantastic....but then he’s a monster player lol. Si
  3. Sibob
    Yeah, sounds broken! Which is pretty rare in itself lol Si
  4. Sibob
    Basically, how big is your ego? Si
  5. Sibob
    Behringer are probably in the mix too lol Si
  6. Sibob
    This isn't totally horrendous, but why it isn't short or medium scale I don't know, absolutely lends itself to that! Even so, I'd prefer a Serek (totally different price-point I know). Si
  7. Sibob
    How is it possible to have the same tension for normal tuning or drop?? Si

    Worth noting that Bobby Vega is actually appearing in the SBL workshop too: http://www.londonbassguitarshow.com/features/bass-workshop-with-scotts-bass-lessons Looks like just on the Saturday for SBL Henrik Linder exclusively on the Sunday though (again in the SBL Workshop). Si

    Any comments on price I find difficult to swallow with flats a little.......put them on....leave them on forever, that's why I like them vs roundwounds. Flats just get better lol Si
  10. Sibob
    Flat/tapewound strings are your first port of call. But you’ve said that a ‘Sting’ bass gave you what you want.....so get one of them?! Si
  11. Sibob
    Just to clarify, the artist schedule absolutely is on the website.....just that Bobby Vega hasn’t been added just yet, for whatever reason. Si
  12. Sibob
    Same as my 55-01, although I have the rosewood fingerboard. Really good basses for the money, they punch way above their price! Si
  13. Sibob
    Still likely more expensive than buying from the UK dealer because of the weak pound + added VAT & customs handling. Si
  14. Sibob
    Not sure what people define as 'great bass tone', but what is important is having a tone that glues the rest of the band together, that fills the necessary sonic space and stays out of the way of other instruments.....that tone could be literally anything (depending on the musical context) and still be 'great'. So yes a 'complimentary' tone is incredibly important. Si

    Lakland would do that on a custom build if you sourced the pickups I believe. You'd essentially then have a US built 44-01 (ie two soap bars) Si
  16. Sibob
    It's the US 55-Dual J: https://www.lakland.com/55-JJ.htm But in a Metallic Blue as opposed to just the sunburst they mention on the site. They do have a habit of doing little runs of other colours sometimes. Cheers Si

    Ah sorry, missed that important detail lol. Yeah, 4 preamps for under £100 does just leave you with Behringer, unless you find something better used of course. Si
  18. Sibob
    Do you want to record those three instruments simultaneously, or one at a time? Si
  19. Sibob
    But still, £140 from Bass Direct huh Si
  20. Sibob
    All flats are technically 'tapewound', but with metal tape rather than nylon. As such, flats tend to refer to metal tapes and nylon (be it black, white etc) to nylon tapes. Si
  21. Sibob
    I certainly didn't mean to suggest this isn't a great deal, a new one would probably set you back about £2800 inc shipping & import duty/VAT. Hopefully it will come to the UK and then I'll get first dibs when it gets sold again lol Si
  22. Sibob
    Beauty, welcome to the BassChat 'passive 44-94' club......it's just you and me basically lol. Si
  23. Sibob
    Worth noting that a lot of Tapes can't be strung through-body.....so if you have a US Jazz (or similar) that allows for that, string it through the bridge instead. But as mentioned, much lower tension than Flats and Rounds. I've become very interested in trying the LaBella Gold White Nylons on my 5 String Lakland, they seem very cool. Si
  24. Sibob
    Oh man, don't do this to me......been thinking about these and one comes up for sale? Really? If it was in the UK, I'd be in trouble lol Probably worth noting that these are only rare because not many people ask for them......Lakland would make you one tomorrow if you asked Si
  25. Sibob
    Tension has little to do with the gauge, it's the size of the core. Talk to Newtone Strings, they'll be able to sort a string that tunes to what you need it to, without flapping around, and not necessarily huge guages. When I had need for it, I was running Drop C Standard (C, F, Bb, Eb) in guages 45-105 with a tension similar to standard tuning. Obviously you can't tune this strings upto standard, they'd break, but worth setting a bass up for them if it's all you use. Si
