I suppose the difference being is that if you spent 4k on a custom build it'll be worth approximately 2k the day its delivered to you, whereas if you buy a 4k bass on the second hand market (Wal, Fodera etc.) it'll probably be worth 4k if/when you move it on, assuming you haven't paid well over the odds.

So mine is finally arriving today. Stand-by for initial impressions.

I love the warm yet articulate clear sound you get. I have played the newest version ABM evo. It’s just beautiful. My Yamaha pulser pbass with chromes sound amazing at any volume level. Top top amp The only reason why I’m probably going to get a Aguilar tone hammer is the size. It will be for home use for the time being.

these things are in place to weed out the non genuine people. have a look around you will soon mount those posts up. also, welcome

Just had a brief experience with the Darkglass Hyper Luminal compressor - I assumed it was faulty and it went back. Basically it was intermittent and when it did see the input signal, no matter how much comp I set it seemed the input was too low for the pedal. Is anyone using these with passive basses, it appeared to me it needs a far bigger input signal to be able to provide decent control. And more than half the time I had zero output no matter what I tried (all leads, basses, 500mA power supply, no chain at all...). I was left puzzled but I think I'll be heading off to an Empress. Shame, I had a Super Symmetry for quite a while and liked it, but could not get the HL to actual work or be properly useful.

What a coincidence. Nice one. Hopefully we'll get some gig pics of each others band from you both. 😂 Dave

I was asked to go to that rally once few yrs back. As a biker rather than a musician of course. I had other plans that weekend and didn't go. Dave

The jabs work, but they do have side effects and they won't give you too many of them. I had one when I was a teenager and about to do my O levels. To be fair, my hay fever used to be much worse in my teens / twenties

I'm guessing it was to hide face wrinkles of course Daryl. (i saw that on "Everybody loves Raymond" show - not experience i have to say. 😂) Dave

I had a john East 4 pot preamp in mine for a while, you can get just about any sound you want from it with very flexible tone controls. It also has a active/passive push pull pot so you get the best of both worlds. not cheap mind.

Nice one Pete - I will see you later

I had one of those prescribed nasal sprays and ended up with severe uncontrollable nose bleeds and now won't use them. Bleeding was a constant stream rather than a drip and lasted up to 45mins at one point. Not a very nice condition. I know you can get a jab for it but not sure how good they are. Dave

No way I would ever do that! If I had that kind of money I'd have luthier make me an amazing bass exactly to my personal preferred specs.

i took delivery of the Monaco just over a week ago ,,,ive been using a couple of BF one tens which i really like,,but the LFSys,, well what can i say, it's all that previous people have said and then WOW ,,it just sounds , well better more full . i did wonder what an FRFR cab might sound like ,would it be extra hi fi or something , but no its as most people have said it's what you want it to be,,i really like it ,, thanks to Steve for doing what he has,,if you've thought about getting one think no more just get it .

This I believe that lifting weights also helps to maintain bone density, so if you slip when you're old you just get up and brush it off rather than requiring a hip replacement.

Great strings. Awful! Actually they sound ok, bit brassy but solid fundamentals. They just take ages to start sounding, the bow kind of skates over them. You can bow them if you have to but they're not really intended for it.

Jeremy Meek played his Precision for Live Wire back in the day. I really liked him. Here he is…

Hi, I was searching the forum when I got some posts hidden which said that I must post at least 5 times to see the search. What’s that about?
