Hi FenderBender,

welcome to the club. There's a twin of your MK STD living in Germany. My MK STD recognized his brother immediatly. He wants me to show you some nice family pictures from him http://club.alembic.com/Images/411/3899.html?1048291661

BTW: I use the widest leather strap available (approx. 10cm wide) to distribute the weight. Now I got a bit used to it and my MM Sterling now feels like a toy to me.

Wow, that's one sweet bass & a Glockenklang rig too ! The guy I bought my MK from was using it through a Glockenklang.

I have to say I'm very impressed with the friendly response I've had & all the help re. a suitable strap. I think I'm going to like it here !

cheers

Mick

Hi Mick,

well .. in fact the picture with the Glockenklang is the only one which was made by the previous owner of the MK Std. I used to play a Glockenklang too but - belive it or not - sold it for a SWR megoliath which I prefered after A/B-ing it vs. two Take Five cabinets. My MK Std goes into an Alembic F-1X Preamp, a TC TripleC Compressor (which I am using less and lesser) an finally a QSC RMX-2450. The Power from the QSC is absolutely overkill but the sound and the dynamic tops everything I've heard so far.

James; interesting what you said about the fleece keeping the strap from moving on your shirt. Interesting because I do move by bass from time to time to make certain fingerings easier and more comfortable on the fretting hand. So I should probably avoid a fleece strap.
