There are others, nut is broken and it's been shimmed with cardboard 😎

These are a Chicago Music Exchange / Andertons exclusive, and indeed somewhat limited. And thank god! That Lavender Haze sure isn't pretty.

I saw the Facebook post and instantly thought that's a @Jabba_the_gut bass, then the post disappeared as they do on Facebook. The 'R' logo is definitely his, and his work is exceptional.

Hi all, Has anyone had any experience with any Japanese made Dragonfly/Harry’s Engineering basses?

Another busy day for “Letters He Left” - 3 songs tracked…in 10 hours. @Dankologyand “that” bass were mega.

That shouldn't be how it's wired. I've had three of these, and they were volume, tone, preamp gain and 3-band EQ, so you could boost or cut the EQ curve without having to change 3 knobs, and so you could match the output to the passive level. There is no pickup balance, only the 3-way switch. The gain knob only works in active mode, obviously.

We gave it a good go today. Started at 9.30 (me) and we set the drums up and @Dankologyarrived around 11 as planned. 3 full tracks, aside from embellishments and vocals. decent days work - finished at 7.30pm.

First gig of the year last night. Bluesfire at the Bush. Couple of mates of the guitarist and the drummerxs brother in, plus several familiar faces. Free pint of Guinness. Had a 'bucket' of sweet potato fries 🤗 one day I'll get there early enough to sample their pizza. Experimented with a bit of mid boost, and I got positive comments on the tone. AVII, Orange Terror and AT212 slim. A good gig but I had the wrong inserts in my earplugs for the first set, so took them out after two songs. Used the right ones for set two. Made a few fluffs but nothing too bad. My technique has improved a little recently, made a few changes to what I play. Got a couple of compliments 😁 Back at 1pm 😴

That's not a whole lot of use if you've arranged the day off work to receive the delivery though is it? Luckily, having retired, I'm free to hang around the house endlessly in anticipation.

I've just seen an email from Eastwood Guitars about Rivolta guitars, a separate brand/maker(?) but sold through Eastwood. The Duocata bass caught my eye. I'm kind of low key after a lightweight, acoustic styled shortscale to double with upright bass in an acoustic band and I nearly splurged my cash there and then. Only trouble is Eastwood are now based in America so there'll be high shipping and taxes. It doesn't state the weight but I'd love to be able to try one of these, I think they look fantastic, very Rickenbackeresque. https://www.rivoltaguitars.com/products/rivolta-duocata-bass?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&_kx=vG68xHWzTsaizKkGhKLlOsD0rYhHzD2CI48Nt4-TTUQ.MTbQ9E

For sure, but want to know if any difference in neck profiles first. Cheers
