They were out of stock when I ordered and it looks to be like that now

You have an original one? Respect! Discombobulating - an excellent word. And very serendipitous that you had chance to use it in an a manner that wasn't obviously otiose. The only clip so far I've seen is 13 seconds of the Andertons guy on their sales pitch for the pedal. It sounded "ok". I'm hoping that @sshorepunk will be able to provide us with something more fulsome!

A very fruitful rehearsal last. One of the venues we play at is starting up a once a month Sunday Blues afternoon gig and asked if we would like to play, we are mainly a rock covers band, but have a sprinkling of ZZ Top, SVR etc, not enough songs to do a full blues set, but we are up for it. We decided on nine additional songs to learn for the blues gig to make up a full gigging set. White Room - Cream Roadhouse Blues - The Doors Red House - Jimi Hendrix Wishing Well - Free Oh Well - Slash Version Still Got The Blues - Gary Moore Walking by Myself - Gary Moore Honky Tonk Woman - Rolling Stones Oh Pretty Woman - Gary Moore We all did our homework and came together last night to work our way through them, we nailed the first eight and then came to Oh Pretty Woman, Martin our drummer counted us in and then it immediately crashed and burned big time, his drumming was way off, we asked him what he was playing and he said it was a Van Halen version, we all said that Van Halen had never recorded Oh Pretty Woman, Martin had mistakenly learnt the old Roy Orbison song Pretty Woman which Van Halen had done a heavier version of, we almost p*ssed ourselves with laughing so much. All in all, we managed to nail eight of the nine songs in a two hour rehearsal session, well pleased.👍

I don't understand! Everyone needs more low end, surely.

"Sold as seen" Was tempted to offer £6.95...

Diolch! I have sent you a message. Yep those ATC SCM100 boxes have spoilt anything else for me. We have a pair of SCM45 where I used to work and they have made me consider doing something really rash!

No they're not. Acoustic instruments have them, and many semi-acoustics and some others (e.g. many Gibsons) have decorative ones and have rear-routed control cavities.

I'm tempted to get one to compare to the original but I'm scared it'll be as good which will be discombobulating

Fantastic basses, my one I’ve had new since ‘85 may be a bit battered now but she’s still a beaut! Think the necks did vary from year to year as mine has a very narrow (to me anyway) and shallow neck. I did have a later version for a while, think last year of production , smaller body shape which morfed into what they called the ‘bean bass’ because of the body shape but the neck was very different, much chunkier and unfortunately not to my liking. The quality of these basses whatever model/year you may have is undeniable though.And don’t they just look gorgeous! Enjoy x

I had that exact message too... The email you get that informs you of a message has a button you can click to report a fraudulent message however that link only takes you to the message itself where there is no option to report! Reverb are notoriously terrible at managing spam and scams... They, like most large Internet based companies, employ about 4 people so cannot actually manage incoming spam without an AI based system, and their system doesn't work! Whilst I have successfully sold via Reverb, it is not a platform I can recommend at any level.

Now just £85 including P&P at Gear4Music!

I’ll check later

Metal corners on speaker cabs. Urgh. Why? No idea. Just don't like 'em.

There's no point to the wretched things. They're only there to cover over the front routing, and if the control cavity was rear routed instead, they could be done away with. They're just there to show that your expensive bass has been made as cheaply as possible. Harley Benton can manage rear routing of a bolt-on bass for £155, you'd think other makers could do as well for basses costing ten times as much.

Are the pots panel mounted with a nut?

Great idea, necessity is the mother of invention. You really shouldn't put yourself down like that though. Words have power, especially those that we say to ourselves. Be proud of yourself for inventing a new way to keep yourself playing. Result! 👏👊

Mine arrived the same - 3 years ago almost to the day according to my camera reel, so it’s not news to them. I asked at the time about why it had changed and was told that it was to preserve the look of a vertical two plus one stack with new logos. Personally I wasn’t thrilled but decided I didn’t care enough to seek any remedy. Glad to read you’re getting yours sorted out!
