Indeed. I’d be interested to know what they weigh (if they are mahogany, I’m guessing a fair bit).

I think if he had said "you can't buy me that, I will fail the Basschat Gear Abstinence Challenge" and she bought it anyway, it would be ok. Of course, this would make him a liar and she would leave him, after smashing the bass over his head.

Oooh... so if I walk into a bass store and buy something without thinking it through in advance it doesn't count as a purchase? I think I'm beginning to like this game.... but may need some sort of letter of authority from the mods to show my wife...

20kW would demand an 80 amp+ supply at 240V requiring conductors the size of my little finger... You ain't going to run that off a 13A socket or a standard ring main.

Love the colour/graphic. Doubt I need another bass muff but this sounds fun.

Sold an Origins Effects pedal to Andy this week. Easy transaction despite him being out on tour this last couple of weeks. Prompt payment, good communication. Highly recommended

A little bit out the way, but Rich Stubbs over in Nantwich is superb! -
I got dragged kicking and screaming to a C&D gig at Salisbury city hall at the age of about 35... I loved it by the end, great musicians and entertainers. Battered old case full of CDs for a merch stand 😄

I'm a massive fan of Aguilar pickups, especially the '70s JJs that were OE on my Vox Starstream Artist. -

I don't think the stock preamp helps TBH. Ibby obviously assumed that they would sell more to the metal crowd who want a load of top end and when that is combined with hi-fi pickups like the Nords it's an excessively bright combination. You might have better luck removing the preamp completely and sticking in a passive loom. As they are still humbuckers I'd be tempted to try 500K pots rather than 250K but I'd put a 0.1uF capacitor in there so it can roll off loads of the top and and go super deep. All my passive basses have 0.1uF caps in them now for that reason. As long as you use a good tone pot that doesn't get in the way when it's at 100% there will still be plenty of brightness but with a little roll down it should work very nicely to tame that top end. It would be quite a bit cheaper than swapping pickups or the preamp too. I always follow the Duck Dunn school of tone settings. Back off the bass tone by about a third and then set the amp. Then I've got somewhere to go in both directions without having to tweak the amp mid-gig. -

I am all for beautiful American big name pickups - I have a set of Fralins which are sublime. But I suspect that any of the myriad UK winders could do something which would be easily as good for significantly less. It is just wire and magnets. https://www.catswhiskerpickups.co.uk/ pickups always deliver for me. He listens to what I need and there it is. -

In over 15 years with Laklands I never touched the trussrods.

One must consider two factors - the act itself, and any premeditation. In this case, there was no premeditation, so a prima facie case fails if that was the sole criterion. However, there is the act itself, and in this case, it was perpetrated not by the (self) accused but by his girlfriend (whether with or without the knowledge of his wife), without any direct solicitation by the accused and apparently without his intention being to cause the purchase. I think a caution would be appropriate, and congratulations on the choice of girlfriend.

I’d like one of these, but £17 postage on top of the £15 purchase price is putting my off!

It’s still a purchase, whether or not nostalgia is involved. off with his head …
