More like the sensible option...

Seems there's a shipping problem. Well that's the message showing on my payment page 🙁

Although it's a 4/4 and the 3/4 variant is nearly £500.

Never really thght about it..My primary objective tho is to sit in my own sonic space whatever Im playing and that is basicly, dry mid forward tone thanks to a light touch, dead Chromes, thru Ampeg with the bass rolled off. Always sounds tight out in the room/vid playback.

The GP12's are reasonably complicated amps. Probably why I prefer GP7's but I do have a series 6 GP12 and a 250 GP12 SMX, both hum free. If I had a penny for every minute I spent trying to track down a hum on a GP12 I'd probably have quite a few quid by now. There are at least three power supply points that have smoothing caps, the output board, the tube circuit, and the pre-amp board. Dublier caps on the output boards are in my experience very durable. Unless they are obviously leaking or bulging they don't usually cause problems even after 20-30 years. Not to say they can't cause issues. Worn dirty jacks and loose or tarnished ground points are very common noise generators on these amps after many years and IMHO always worth a check, especially the back board, before getting into scraping hot glue from boards and components! 🙂

Mike Brooks told me about Bobby Vega turning the pick so he uses a non-pointy corner to strike the string. I tried it and it's OK, it's different. I haven't stuck with it but I've focusing on other aspects of technique recently.

Signature sound I would have to say no as none of my 4 basses sound the same. With regards to this specific question it has to be my Broadneck Warwick Thumb 5 no matter which strings or amp it goes through. I had to "learn" it's ergonomic profile however but the sound is totally worth it to my ears.

The only downside to these - the earlier ones, maybe the current ones are ok - is the tweeters weren’t particularly good, and could sometimes rattle with notes lower than low E. But it’s a cheap easy job to swap them out (I got Ashdown to do mine( and then you have a nice sounding light portable cab for not much money.
