Another question for Jimmy

[chrisalembic]

All the best Barrie. I hope you can enjoy your new bass very soon!!

[molan]

Thanks guys - the bass is here but the pain is getting worse so not much playing  
 
Having physio treatment every 48 hours but if it's not any better by Tuesday then I'm in for MRI scan on my spine.
 
Apologies for hi-jacking your thread Jimmy!

PS - The Rogue is great, really shows up my appalling muting technique though, I'm blaming it on the withered left arm muscles & lack of feeling in my left hand, lol

[David Houck]

Barrie; my Alembic has caused me to really focus on my muting techniques as well.  Hoping the best for your recovery.

Barrie, you can have the thread!  Hope the docs can sort out your situation and come up with a workable solution.  Best of luck there, let us know how it goes.
 
Glad you like the bass.  It's not your first 5-string is it?  Keeping things quite is always a challenge...

Thanks Jimmy,
 
I have other 5'ers kicking around. There's currently three Spectors (2x NS5XL & 1x LX5), an MTD 535, an Overwater J5 & a Siggery J5  
 
The Rogue certainly seems to be the most 'different' to the others though

[LMiwa]

Barrie,
 
I've found my Alembics to be the most challenging to play simply because they faithfully reproduce EVERYTHING - all those amazing sounds, but also every little flaw in technique. It has certainly inspired me to practice a LOT more, though I must admit I'm certainly enjoying it!

You're right there Loch!
 
With a dodgy arm & numb fingers the Rogue makes me sound like a complete novice
