Yes ibanez, but 34”. Hoping the b is not too floppy
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

My 5 string is 34", the B wasn't great with the stock strings (only had a 105 on top) so I stuck a set of these on it and now its awesome: https://www.rockshop.co.nz/ernie-ball-2 ... 80-100-130

Ibanez GSR205

Actually considering taking the pickups out and putting some emg's in it so i have a neck p and bridge humbucker in it.

I really need to get a P, but cant really justify it.

How much does the present Bass boost do?
Would you get a new preamp if changing to EMG?

It does a bit, but I usually turn it off as I'm usually trying to play punk with it and it doesnt sound natural to me, though I got it to keep up with my baritone guitar.

Ill probably not run a preamp as the emg's have their on preamp inbuilt.

Also running it digital, normally so have preamps in the HX stomp.

Picked up my Legacy, clean version, footswitch and a decent speaker cable :D
Trying to figure out if I plug it into my Celestion Blue, will it kill it? :)
I may wait until I build a Marshall 1960B when I get to the new house.

I've got nothing in the collection to offer you either. There was the THD cab but I sold that to Molly. No idea where it is now.

I'm sure it will handle it, I'll just keep the volume down low.... Are you a man or a mouse?

You're probably the kind of nay sayer who complains that using a guitar lead as a speaker cable would burn the house down.

This is exactly my point: 100 watt amp into a 15 watt speaker and I'd never consider you a mouse!
