I don't assume they use the same modules. I was having a dig about claimed output powers and mentioned them because they seem to be notable culprits. I appreciate that not all boards have integral power supplies. I've been toying with the idea of assembling (can't really call it building when all you do is put modules in a metal case and make a few connections) a power amp for my hi-fi using the Purifi Eigentakt modules people are singing the praises of, which don't have integral PSUs. Many appear to use Hypex PSUs with them.

Beat on the Brat - Ramones

Club Tropicana - Wham!

The Zon Hyperbass is on my wanted list... I tried a brand new one around 30 years ago and I really liked it, but not its price tag...

I tried one of these in GAK (RIP) a while back and thought it seemed like a regular sized bass. I could be remembering it wrong however.

Ugly things and stupid money!

Breakaway - Gallagher and Lyle

I think it was Chris Spedding on guitar and maybe Roxy's drummer.

And talking of aluminium necks, a Travis Bean would be nice. Saw one for sale recently and couldn’t believe the price!

Always better to have put it on backwards in the first place, than to wake up the next morning with it all the wrong way round and no recollection of why.......

Currently reading "The Thrill of it All" - the story of Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music. Am only a Greatest Hits CD deep into them, but still enjoying finding out more about them....... Only paid £4 for the book - apparently it's worth about £50!

Guy Pratt has appeared on many of Bryan Ferry’s albums over the years, along with ace guitarist Chris Spedding who started working with Bryan early on in his solo career. He also toured with Roxy.

I’m sure we’ll get a good gang out for that one young Leonard 😁

Yellow. With matching hush-puppies.

I think we've all experienced putting some form of clothing on backwards at some point in our lives. When its underwear you have no option but go commando to sort it out. Its life and as long as we can all laugh at it then just enjoy the fun memory. That and the fact i like a good fun story when its someone else that's being laughed at. 🥰 Dave

@ash sold a 4001FL on here a few months ago - I forced myself not to bite!

If they need any advice where to visit i'm happy to share my travel experiences. I think i've been to almost every area of Scotland over the years. Apart from the extreme islands of course. Hopefully they get some decent weather as most years its wet and windy or sunny and windy or wet and sunny or any combination. I once had a weeks holiday at Loch Ness, 1st week in June and it snowed the first morning then glorious warm sunshine in afternoon and i mean jeans and T-shirt stuff and then rained late evening. Cannae beat the Scottish weather. So far this year its been a glorious Spring and typically 20 oC during the day which for us is a heatwave. 🤣 Dave

I'd quite like a Gus; I had a go on @Happy Jack's some time ago - I think he said he acquired it from @BigRedX ?

Band on the Run - Wings

(Hat)Banned From The Roxy - Crass

I wanted a Zon Sonus but as they never come up for sale ended up with a Legacy instead. Lovely bass but just not scratched the itch…

All around my hat - Steeleye Span

I've only seen two IRL, including mine. Yep - overpriced. I've never liked The Duke - I don't get the point of doing a headless and then putting normal tuners are the arris end.

And there's that Scottish sarcasm making a return trip. Couldnae beat it wie a big stick. 🤣 At the time i was very young and just accepted it as fact. How my views have changed over the years. 🤣 Dave
