    [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]As well as feeling for Prince's nearest are dearest I feel so sad for my friend Simon Farmer of [/size][/font][/color][url="https://www.facebook.com/gusguitars/?hc_location=ufi"]Gus Guitars[/url][color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=3]. He had just given Prince a guitar he made for him several years ago and only just managed to get it to him (it cost Simon about £9,000 to make). There's a photo of Prince playing it recently and he had commissioned a bass from Simon as well. This was Simon's big break (or not [/size][/font][/color]

    [size=4]I'm having to go for a light weight 5 string bass (neck/shoulder issues when playing) and like the look of the [color=#000000][font=Tahoma]Ibanez Artcore semi-hollow AGBV205A-TCL 5 String Bass. I like an average to loose tension string (I use DR Sunbeams usually) but I was wondering (as it's a 30.3 inch scale bass) what the best strings (half rounds, smooth feeling rounds or flats. I'm not a massive fan of barbed wire roundwounds) would be that would have some treble along with an old fashioned bass sound and also be good enough to have some definition on the B string (so it's not all muddy). [/font][/color][/size] [size=4][color=#000000][font=Tahoma]Any advice gratefully received[/font][/color][/size]

    [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Godin SD5 - 5 stringed bass with P and J pickups[/font] [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Made in America. Bought a few months ago but only used for one rehearsal - only just over 9 lbs on my bathroom scales but my neck and shoulder just don't like even that light weight. Looks as new (even though it's a few years old) except a couple of minor dings only. No buckle rash. Villex passive mid-tone boost instead of tone control. Godin hard case included. This one was going to be a keeper but I need something lighter for the sake of my spine.[/font][/size]

    I've just gone over to 5 strings and play a Godin SD5 - absolutely love it. Neck doesn't feel much different to a 4 string but string spacing appears good as well (don't ask me how they do that). Bass Gear in Twyford have the latest version of this - http://www.bassgear.co.uk/product/godin-classic-shifter-5-trans-black-ma/ knocked down from £999 to £550 brand new.

    I did something a few years ago playing at the 4&20 Blackbird Festival in Weed, California (after first flying into Houston, then missing our connection to San Francisco and then almost crashing at SF when another plane taxied across our runway just as we were about to land. Going from 100 feet off the ground to a vertical climb in next to no time is an experience I don't want to do again in a hurry. Saw the bridge a second time though from the air). Jack Daniels seemed to be the thing that got us through. Especially if left in the car all day when it's 45 degrees C outside. Bit like a hot toddy but 10x stronger.

    [quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1457020010' post='2994530'] I say yes. I have the super cheap Gear 4 Music ones and the whole band use them. Much greater clarity of sound, much quieter so no hearing damage. No monitors to lug around and so fewer cables and clutter on stage. I'd possibly argue that a pub band's need is greater than a 'proper' band's as pub bands generally have less space hence poorer acoustic management and more noise pollution to contend with. [/quote] Do you have a link to the ones you use?

    Hi Bassjim Your drummer isn't Kit is it? If it is you need em. He's loud (I used to be in a band with him, so I know

    [quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1456870529' post='2993169'] I'm in negotiations for a white Cruise. It's in pretty awful condition. Will cost me $600 plus taxes to get it here. I'm in two minds; £500 more or less, then factor in some kind of refinish. Hmmm. [/quote] Are they that good? Arnt there just as good basses out there that cost less?

    This has been my second and love it, but have moved over to 5 strings so it has to go.

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1456840531' post='2992754'] Warwickhunt used to have a 5 string green cruise bass... Should have bought it when he sold it. Would be on that like a flash if it came up for sale again [/quote] There's one on eBay at the moment.

    Go on. Of course you do. Give me a sensible offer and it'll be flying down to you by tomorrow lunchtime

    [quote name='Stance' timestamp='1456655548' post='2991017'] God, I just love theses basses! Have another bump on me! [/quote] Thanks for that. Do you love it enough to buy it though?

    My Fender Rumble v3 500 combo lasted less than 3 minutes at bedroom volume before it packed up working. It was straight back to GAK for a refund. Put me off them forever. I've a secondhand Orange Terror Bass 500 and cab now and couldn't be happier.
