  1. Mono M80 gig bag, Markbass Nano Mark (will fit in the front pocket with your cables), Barefaced OneTen or Super Midget. Single trip rig with a spare hand, underground friendly. Done Si
  2. This is partly with my Novation hat on, but actually mostly with my 'I love Knobs (the Youtube channel)' hat on! Very happy to be amongst the other incredible pedal & synth demos, check out the full channel when you get a chance: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCarxZ8bKjfFzUOgN5LjYOhQ/videos Si
  3. It's a classic case of trying to solve a problem with a product, but the problem doesn't exist (or certainly only in very, VERY small numbers). Si
  4. I do like the look of that 60w combo too! And it's far from new, but also still want to get hold of a Nano Mark......don't necessarily need it, but love the idea of an amp that fits in my gig bag Si
  5. I've seen a few people use Stingray style pickguards on their Laklands. You won't find them stock anywhere though, you'll need to find someone to make you something and provide them with a tracing of the design you want I imagine. Si
  6. So a few years after serving a cease and desist to Fuzzrocious for using the ‘Rat Tail’ name for their modded Rat clone....they use the Rat Tail name themselves? Nice one Pro-Co Si
  7. Unexpected (a cheap, pre-ACG, impulse buy) NBD pending, let the guessing commence haha

  8. Lower tension than round wounds? (I know that's variable, but you know what I mean). I have Lakland rounds on the 55-01 currently. Cheers Si
  9. You have a LOT of options! Although if you haven't any shops near you with decent basses, then you might need to have a browse of somewhere like Bass Direct (UK) or Bass Matters (Netherlands), do some research online, then order from them. Or get a 55-01, and if you really like bass again, get a US Lakland used at a later date Si
  10. That's interesting you mention Chromes as I have a set on my P and love them. Is the tension similar to Chromes? The LaBellas would be going on a 35" scale bass. Si
  11. I have a Lakland 55-01 and it’s excellent for the money, definitely punches above it’s price-point. The 55-02 will be much the same but with different pickup config and some other (costed) finish options available. Amp wise, i’ve also had a Micromark and they’re very good! It can handle a B, but nothing more than quiet rehearsals really.....maybe a gig with an acoustic guitarist. If you have the budget, i’d personally look at the Aguilar rig you mentioned, or the middle ground (for price, size, power) between your two options would be something like: Markbass Nano Mark 300 Markbass New York 121 Si
  12. There’s a couple of Midwesterns on their Reverb store for $1750-$1850. Si Edit: TOO SLOOOWW lol
  13. Apparently they’re going to be at London Bass Show I’ll be checking them out at NAMM too, can’t wait! Si
  14. It’s nice to hear of Doc being back on his feet a bit! What work did he do? Just assembly? Or any finishing?! Si
  15. Was it just dry? I had a PF fingerboard from Warmoth a while ago and it was lovely! Si
  16. The 60’s Precision is about the only thing of interest to me here....a cheaper Pino Sig to all intents. Wrong pickguard though! Si
  17. Anyone had them fitted to a bass? Curious about them for my Lakland 55-01 but slightly apprehensive about the gauges (although I gather they're relatively low tension?!). Thoughts? I gather they sit somewhere between black nylons and flats in tone/feel?! Cheers Si
  18. Typically the rule of thumb is half price for a refin....so if you think £7k is fine for an original '65, then you're in the ball park . But you like the bass, so if your bank account is happy enough, who cares! Si
  19. That's awesome!! If I was after a Precision, this would be it! GLWTS Si
  20. I like to give people time to digest the material Si
  21. A post above (can't see it just now) asks how we would go about 'defining the harmony of a chord without a 3rd note’, but you have to be careful with citing needing to use at least 3 notes to define the 'harmony' of a chord, with harmony itself defined as 'any simultaneous combination of tones.' Playing two notes together creates a harmony, whether that harmony then falls into the western music definition of a chord is another question. Some may say it's semantics, or pedantry. I prefer to think of it as academic Si

    best value DAW

    Logic has loads of built in Cow-Bells though so........... Definitely make the decision based on that Si
  23. Had a dream that I bought an SGC Nanyo Bass Collection strung with Labella Gold White strings for £250 from The Gallery.......it COULD happen!

      Yeah right!  I have a dream where Labella do flats in sets of five.  It COULD happen.

      They do 5 string sets of their flats & tapes!! Just not the low tension ones.

      Yes.  I think I said that.
