Got in touch regarding a sale, we arranged to meet and exchanged a few PM's/texts. Money transferred and the whole thing went smoothly and a throughly nice chap to boot! The reason BC will always be better than eBay. Nice to meet you JP!

My band Titus Pillo will be playing as part of this super value deal which is free entry to the gig and free entry to the super fun club night the is Magic Nostalgic - spin the wheel and whichever genre the pointy bit lands on thats th music they play for the next 30 minutes! Top night out! Also on the bill are rockin' three piece Hagana and a secret guest! Doors from 7pm first bad 7:45pm FREE ENTRY for all to celebrate the festival being over for another year

Bought some flats from Gareth - the strings are as smooth as the transaction was! Bingo!

Razze I'm recently a 5er convert and have hardly touched the 4 string in months. I've not had to 're-learn my playing style' nor made any massive changes to how I play in general. Sure I have reworked original tunes to incorporate the low b but not in a way which over emphasises the low end - it's actually made some tunes easier as shifting the root notes to the B string 'opens up' the fretboard and going down to D on the B string is very rewarding! If you fancy a go on it gimme a shout - but I'd say from experience (and I'm of the opinion that) you should play a 5er exclusively each day for a week or two (month or two) just to get your head fully into the zone. By incorporating the B or indeed shifting patterns down to the B string you'll find that patterns are the same just in a different position on the neck (if uisng the B string as your start point) which should make the transition more natural should you go back to trying it. I've been playing over the festival and gigging with a singer/songwriter makeshift band thing and on the slower tunes the weight of those lower notes is simply a delight to play and a real nice contrast when I play a little higher up (not too high mind its still a bassline!). The bass is a 35" scale and I swear I can hear the open E string sounding 'deeper' or 'fuller' as a result but that could all be in my head I suppose. It took me a cple of goes to feel right on a 5er but now I can really dig it and have gigged and rehearsed with it exclusively with my 4 string staying home and likely to be sold off in the very near future!

Buy A basswitch or one of their new tone spark thingys. Fully fledged EQ with two bands of semi parametric mids as wella s a very musical bass and treble control too. The Basswitch is also an A/B box so you can keep your passive bass tone and then go active at the step of a button. Go check out the Basswitch demo's - its a total live tool too with boost, DI function etc etc If you like how your bass plays this will be all you'd need with no mods, simply plug and play!

I agree with MM20 Although the shape is 'different' it's as if they took a j bass and cut around that tried and tested feel/balance to give something which looks different but feels right when on the shoulder. I had one but took a panic that it was too expensive for the dives I played. In passive mode its a beast and while I think the 5'er is just a H not SSS its still got some tonal options. Probably my fav bass to have played and I'd have another in a heartbeat. The switching options should be a standard on all basses with more than one pick up. Good luck in your search!

As someone said email him or hit him up on twitter - his new band are putting out a fan funded album real soon, may even be out and as he's touring with Extreme- he could tell you what he's playing on the road now! He's been a big fan of this gear in the past. Mesa 400+ and Diesel cabs 3 8x10 GK cabs and a rack with two 2001-RB-II heads Spector, Washburn basses and Mouradian CS-75 Good luck!

My current 65 Amps 115 is sounding great!
