I think there's two issues I'm dealing with Dave. Other than gig announcements we have practically no communication. 2nd, I'm in retirement mode, everyone else in the band is working and will be working for another 30 years. Daryl

Somebody that didn't need another head just bought one of these B-stock plus some extra discount..... Fool and his money thing.... It was a killer deal. The said fool above will be selling the 500w killer that's way more than the fool needs. Maybe the RM 300 will go. But might get "the wife look." Anyone know what valve brand these have in them? When I got my older 500 it had an odd brand. I emailed Ashdown and Dave Green said JJ. "This item was returned in mint condition. It is free of any performance issues, and has no scratches, blemishes, or other cosmetic flaws."

So, the class action against multiple LLM's by authors who had their work ripped to train AI's is now open to authors outside the USA and is gathering pace, there are a number of ways to sign up for the action. A few commentators who are over this think that this may bankrupt the developers entirely as the penalties for IP theft are high. I wonder if such a class action could be brought over music that has been used to train AI music compositional algorithms, those Record labels and publishing boys sure do love a lawsuit...

Really enjoying this bass, only had it about 5/6 months ago. Punches WAY above its weight ( and it pretty light) fantastic B string with addario EXL 170’s on it and it’s slightly under 34 inch scale. Best £730 I’ve ever spent i reckon. It just cuts through the mix SO well. I’m a very happy bunny! X

I also have an irrational fear of batteries dying! I'm just a miserable young scallywag. Thankful my bass only has two pickups though and no piezo volume knob! That sounds awful

Thanks for clearing up this 14,5 year old conundrum!

No. Is this a troll?

I had been looking for a bat winged Harmony for some years , and had also told myself that I was not going to import any more guitars from the US. When it happens , it happens. I love this bass , it’s a classic thumper.

Irrational dislikes? visually messy pedalboards too many wires basses that don't look normal (not in the popular styles of Fender, Musicman,etc) Fender Mustangs headless basses bandmates who repeat the same old corny jokes (and chuckle away before they can get it out of their mouths) on stage to an unimpressed audience - maybe that's rational Flea's playing (sorry fans), but not his basslines grating colours!

See - I adore the Ampeg Scrolls. never been in the same room as one though

Well that's almost as silly as this:

Don't mind an f-hole personally, but I'd have to agree that there are more stylish variants

Another gorgeous Mike Stern ballad, the latest transcription is the complete Mark Egan performance of the tune 'Goodbye Again' from the 1986 Stern album, 'Upside Downside'. Not a massive challenge but interesting nevertheless. A beautifully constructed tune and a beautifully executed performance. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/goodbye-again-mike-stern/

Can’t remember exactly, quite proud of myself that I’m sure it wasn’t the day after I said I was in though.

Kinda reminds me of the Digitech iStomp. Which I have and like.

A less than usual glamour shot. Been a bit busy ripping out a downstairs loo and workshop full of said rooms new fittings, so I'm limited to doing small stuff on the ironing board at the moment. Pickguard should be here tomorrow. Machines are installed. Neck is (like the other), great quality. Profile is chunky. It will need oiling and ill probably sand off the finish on the back of the neck. Once the plate is here, I'll do final measurements afore routing out the pickup cavity. The guard isn't white.

I just sold a bass to @Schlippy. He was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Definitely recommended.
