Yes, I bought them from Bass Direct. Pinged an email to them straight away but no reply yet. They're my usual supplier so I am sure they'll come back at some point.

Indeed, and I have just looked on their website to see if they mention tolerances on it. I can't find any reference as such: it just says extra long strings are 38£" long, and these aren't!

Just had an email conversation with La Bella. Even though I have never had a set this short before they are "within acceptable tolerances" and so no action can be taken. Disappointing, but hey ho.....

Just FYI La Bella extra longs are 38", but can be up to 1/2" shorter/longer.

Is anyone else having problems with consistent string links from La Bella? White nylon flats have been my go to string on my fretless for years, but lately I’ve noticed there’s a huge variation in how long they can be. I use the extra long strings, which are (should be) 38” ball end to silk, but this latest set are some way short of that!

Hello John, welcome! There are a few of us from Hampshire here, I'm up in the NE of the county. Cheers Gareth

I spent a year on exchange at the University of Wisconsin and remember thinking it was really warm outside when it barely got back up to zero during the spring thaw! Oh, and to stay on topic I keep speaker cabs in my garage but nothing more than that.

Agree, I got some of these recently and they are really decent.

I had this many moons ago. It was pretty damn amazing!

Not in opinion no. Both my cabs have downfiring ports and have sounded great in every location I've used them.

Haha, sorry! Probably humbucking mostly, but on my fretted Franz (which has two Delano HBCs and the same switch for each pickup) I usually have the bridge in series and just switch the neck to taste.

My Franz Sirius fretless bass has this exact setup and I love the instant change of tone three way switching brings. I say go for it!

And sure enough, it was A weighted.

Thanks Bill, I will seek to find out!

It’s 600 watts, 65.5 x 41.5 x 41 cm.

Just fine. We had a decibel meter at rehearsal last night and we topped out at around 100dB. The single 112 sounded full and fat, no boxiness or crapping out, and that was with the Demeter running at 250 watts on the 8 ohm load. I highly recommend the 1210UL as a single cab solution for gigs. Absolutely monster tones from a 14kg cab.

I have one without the tweeter. It's a great cab.

Aye.....

Wal Mk III fretted 5, beech facings and LEDs Wal Mk III fretless 5, walnut facings and LEDs Ken Smith fretted BMT5, quilt maple facings Other than that, nothing really.

Every Wal I've owned, and there have been a few 😐

Multiscale is great. It makes a noticeable difference to 5 and 6 string bass. So it's a "Yes" from me. That said, I am quite happy playing "normally" fretted basses too. of course.
