    Maybe it's as simple as popping the "hood" on your modern class D amp of choice, checking out what kind of class-d module is fitted and comparing the amp manufacturers specifications to the module manufacturers specifications? Not that I'm advocating breaking the warranty seal on your fave amp to find out. As an example, and one I'm familiar with, the ICEPower 300AS1 module is quoted as 300 watts RMS @ 1% THD+N into 4 ohms , 20Hz-20Khz. Curiously, if you tab down on the data sheet they also say the same module will output 380watts @ 10% THD running at 4 ohms. If you tab down some more, they say the same module will output 450W at 1% THD+N, 2.7Ohms. There is plenty of room there for marketing to do there thing with regard to output watts. In the interests of longevity and reliability, I suspect the 300watts rating is nominal and probably the most honest output specs the module can achieve in real world applications and use without a high failure rate. I own an amp with this module and it's sold as per the ICE Power 300watt rating which I feel is reasonable and accurate. It feels like 300 watts at 4 ohms with no weak wattage. @agedhorse is probably in a unique position as a knowledgeable designer to give insights into how off the shelf amplifier module components and specifications translate to real world performance in products he has had a hand in designing. I'm Assuming Mesa doesn't use proprietary class-d designs like Markbass do? It would be very interesting as an example to have an insight in to how the subway class-d product output power ratings were specified and the technology they use... eg the D350 and the D800.

    Didn't we all - cool bass! I wish I still had mine!😄

    Yep - Our first ad was the London/Los Angeles "postcards"-type ad. Memorable indeed! The Lane Poor bass was certainly something different! But hey, it was the 80's!

    my 90s stingray that i bought new is so solid and well made, i would pay more that 1000 for it secondhand today, it plays so nice just like when i first got it...i did swap the neck out for a graphite but that was driven by pursuit of the ultimate rather than any dissatisfaction with the original.

    100% the Yamaha. The Franconia is, I believe late 70s, early 80s. It's niche, quirky and very much a collectable or enthusiast instrument. Pickup spacing is unconventional too. @Bassassin will undoubtedly be able to shed some light on Franconia basses.

    Pickups sold, last few bits left, will do a good deal if you buy a few.

    I acquired these with another bass a while back, no use to me. Nice retro knobs. Pick up Leyland Lancashire or will post for £5.

    3 power supplies. 2 previously used for bass pedals. I used it for a tonex, zoom ms60b+. The third one is a USB one, great for the new pedals which take USB or charging your phone mid gig. £19 delivered.

    Great twin channel amps these. I use one myself. Amp emulations, tuner and programmable effects. All you’ll ever need really. GLWTS.

    The "hole" near the attachment arm, isn't a blemish.... it's for adjusting the neck angle. I should have mentioned in my first post, that the necks on these are removable, for packing down smaller for taking on tour / air transport etc. But the beauty of the system is that you can finely adjust the neck angle to set up to your preference, and it's really quick & easy to do.

    I hate listings where the instrument has clearly seen serious tinkering, but the seller doesn't make any effort to explain (or sometimes even acknowledge) what's been done. Like, you'll see a 1970s Fender Precision with a mudbucker at the neck, some other mystery pickup at the bridge and a Chernobyl-Control-Room number of knobs and switches, and the listing will just say something along the lines of "1978 P-bass, modified". It always just makes me think that either it is completely buggered, or it fell off the back of a lorry and the seller doesn't know what it is.

    Well that was bloody awesome. We got to the Earl Haig early, to find two big projector screens up for the rugby, but didn't affect us setting up. Used their (big) PA with our desk, spent a lot of time with everything miced up (me post-preamp DI'd). Sounded awesome but with the stage volume was comfortable with no earplugs. About 20- people stayed on from rugby and we had at least 120-, maybe 150 people in. It can feel a bit empty on a Sunday sometimes, even with a crowd, but not today. Lots of musicians and music lovers in, including my brother, some of my friends and members of two of my other bands. First half, mostly straight classic rock, so no dancing but rapturous reception. Brief beak, then second half, still rocky but some more danceable stuff, so dancing from about 1/3rd through. You'll get the gist if I say our encores were War Pigs and Alive, and the song that got the most comment was Devil Woman. Afterwards, people were queing up to shake hands and say how much they enjoyed it. We did get (very gently) told off for going 20 minutes past curfew 😁 Baz was taking photos, so I expect some awesome shots in due course. Devil Woman.mp4

    I reckon that will be a tasty rig.
