    Hi @Heydayday - welcome to BC! It's important to remember the huge majority of headstock names on these instruments have nothing at all to do with the factories that made them - your bass looks like it's probably from a different manufacturer - and possibly a different country - from the Johnny Guitar in the link. Headstock names would be applied by the manufacturer if a customer requested one and provided a logo design - it looks like Johnny Guitar (& later, Johnny Pro II) were probably names owned by a European retailer or distributor (possibly German or Dutch), who would have ordered & imported batches of these instruments. If a customer didn't request a brand then headstocks would be blank and the wholesale price lower, which is why there are so many 'no name' guitars & basses from the 70s & 80s era around. Sometimes, like both unbranded basses in the first post, it's possible to work out the manufacturers from build quirks & details, but sometimes they can be annoyingly hard to ID! The DiMarzio Model J on yours is a bonus - the PAF-stickered, silver pole early examples are increasingly rare, and that bassbucker's interesting. Both Schaller & DiMarzio made similar pickups, but those both had hex pole pieces rather than the slotted ones on yours. Not sure what that is.

    Good to know. I'm in discussion with Gary @ Sylva Guitars 👍

    The Headway EDB2 also allows you to blend a mic and pickup and provides 48V phantom power. So does the EDB1 but it's now discontinued though they pop up second-hand occasionally. Neither of these units is really designed for switching between two instruments, unlike the EBS.

    Yeah, I should have spotted that, shouldn't I?

    MK Studio P EUB, with stand and original soft case, in very good condition. I bought this from a fellow Basschatter last year as a tour backup for my Yamaha SLB 300, but it was never required, so has had very little use apart from a few hours practicing. Great design. Really well made and compact, and very quick to set up. Sounds great straight into an amp, and even better with a decent preamp. I wouldn't want to risk shipping this bass so collection in person only. I can rendezvous within 15 or so miles of Southend if necessary. Might consider trade for a Fender American Professional 2 P.Bass with maple fingerboard, in very good condition. PM for more details. (NB, the position markers are self adhesive stickers and can easily be removed).

    Agreed Mick, Whilst the SMX series added some useful bells and whistles such as compression and a blendable valve/solid state preamp, the Series 6 has a certain immediate clarity with clout never bettered by Trace Elliot.

    A pound to a penny, it's autocorrect for "tube amp".

    Good luck to you whichever way.

    You're absolutely right, and this is far from the only trolling I've received - it's certainly not the nastiest, by any stretch! I can't deny this sort of thing still rattles me a bit, but generally I try to ignore it. This one just stood out because the more I thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed: I don't know if somebody else had really p!55ed on his chips that day, but it must have taken him longer to type all that than he would have spent watching the video. (Well, that, and I still can't work out WTF he means by a "time amp"...)

    My 1998 ABM 15-10 HX is still going strong and a superb cabinet I also liked the SWR 18 Big Bertha and the old Peavey 18 + 10+10 An old teacher of mine had a lovely Mesa cab , big unit but I can’t remember if it was 18 or 15” speakers as ever Horses for Courses

    My brother is looking a clear P bass scratch plate. Does anyone know of a manufacturer who can do one? NW England.

    Don't. I'm really in two minds about this. Hoping the Ray gets sold first.

    Absolutely loving this PJB BG400. Will grab a C4 extension when funds allow for the ultimate tiny 500w 8 speaker rig!

    Up for sale is this passive Sterling by Music Man Pete Wentz signature StingRay bass in a very eye catching Fiesta Red finish. I had a change of heart and withdrew my 40th anniversary Squier Jazz ad recently, so have put this up for sale as although I love it, it's the bass getting used least with my band and I've recently bought another bass. This is a very cool, passive StingRay in fantastic condition (small scratch on the back of the headstock pictured in the only sign of wear), with one of my favourite necks I've ever had on any bass. Roasted maple, stays straight throughout all seasons and feels great in the hand for those who like a chunkier bass neck. This also comes fitted with Dunlop Straploks and crucially; high quality Schaller BM tuners to replace the stock tuners which were to be blunt, utter garbage. As a passive bass with a single humbucker with just volume and tone controls it's less versatile than a regular StingRay, but it sounds great and it's a snarling rock beast that you can also get a lot of mellower tones out of. You will get most tonal variety from how and where in relation to the pickup you play it, rather than the tone control to bring out the dynamics of the fat sounding pickup. Also comes with a good quality Ritter gig bag; has a broken handle (as pictured) but all other straps and handles are in good working order. I would much prefer collection in person or half-way meet if you're reasonably close to Brighton in the South East. However, I do have a sturdy cardboard box to send this in so could look into sending at an additional cost to the buyer, and at their own risk (as it's not in a hard case so can't be insured by courier services). Please see my feedback for assurance of past honest dealings on the forum: Any questions, send me a message. Thanks.
