Fantastic work as usual, Rob! I also don't understand this kind of electronics in an instrument, but the customer is king... Once again, congratulations for this masterpiece! Do you have a link to the Ubertar pickup(s) used as all I could find is this: https://www.ubertar.com/hexaphonic/

Bloody Capos or "Satan's Claw" I have a hard enough time working out what the guitar player is doing without them cheating. My heart sinks when they whip out a "well what fickin key are we in now" clamp.

I had to double-check if this was an older thread and if I had already replied to it, and lo and behold: I did, in july 2024. Maybe somewhat to my surprise (as it can change quite often for me) the above is still accurate I did grow more and more curious about fanned-fret basses, and would love a combination of fanned frets and headless at some point (an Ibanez EHB1005L is on my "to try-list"), but deep down I'm sure I'd prefer something more traditional.

.

What time would you kike volunteer setter-uppers to be there, Richard?

Yeah I can't fathom what use all the options could have. I much prefer a simple bass myself. And I would love to build something like this again: Four strings and no controls!

I read this before I saw what you were replying to, I was very confused.

Beautiful, mad, bonkers, crazy etc. The bass looks tremendous, personally, a simpler pickup and preamp arrangement would suit me. Fascinated to know how the customer intends to use this unique bass.

Looking at buying a new amp around the £1000 mark....light weight 800watts minimum, what would you guys recommend?

Any changes we make are usually as a result of a lack of talent for a band member, or where the intro goes on a bit and just leaves us standing around, but sometimes just for fun: Two Tribes - an extra bar inserted after the second verse (as the song goes chorus-verse-chorus-verse), increasing the quiet bit from three to four bars, because everyone (apart from me) loses count of where we are. I sometimes worry about the ability of some of my bandmates to count, especially our drummist, because we hardly ever seem to end this song in the right place as well Somewhere In My Heart - horn intro binned Club Foot and Are Friends Electric - long, atmospheric intros shortened Dakota - outro extended to make it end a bit more enthusiastically

If i've followed this correctly, and its a lot to take in at my old age, it sounds like an overall positive result for the band 👍 Dave

I have one that I was going to sell but have just withdrawn the listing because I took it to a band audition the other day and it blew me away. I'd genuinely forgotten how clean, punchy and loud it is. It's a completely different animal to my ABM but I like that. I got the gig from the audition and it's a function band so I think I'm going to use the 12-Band 600 for that band. A couple of pedals for a bit of OD when needed, some chorus and maybe a synth, I have to say I'm pretty excited and looking forward to using the amp in a band again

Have to admit they don't really do much for me but i'm sure the build quality will be first class. Dave

I love this bass!!! I think that is a very interesting new model, but is very soon to say if I like it or not. In the video the sound seems very focused to a certaing music style but it could be more versatile than could think at first sight.

Really enjoy those Youtube vids. Seen some great gear reviews on it. Dave

Yep my reason to change the BBT style is the crap saddles / screws that seem to be used today The Gotoh and others are far superior build quality and it’s such a simple low cost upgrade why wouldn’t you ?
