I'm inclined to second that. 🤔

In my humble opinion, you could save yourself at least £1200 on a Fender and have one of mine lol

Not sure about that. Plenty of Ibanez basses have similarly small headstocks (tiny headstocks are definitely an irrational hate of mine while we're on the topic) which fit 'Ibanez' just fine And there actually examples of older 'soundgear' basses that do include the full 'Ibanez' name like below. But at some point they must have switched the current logo.

Nah, just very good practice! Bit like doing a sound check before a gig!

Looks to me like the only issue with setting them up 4-in-a-row is the space available in the cavity - some of those circuit boards are pretty big. But if you're after using a normal Jazz control plate, surely the J-Retro 01 is the way to go? Or the 01 Deluxe if you're prepared to fit a side-mount jack.

I always wondered about this, but I think I've got it now. The necks/headstocks on the SoundGear models are so incredibly narrow that they couldn't fit the IBANEZ logo at the top.

I rarely purchase elsewhere. That's how good Andertons are. My last purchase from them was a bass head and cab, they gave me loads of advice over the phone, and threw in some extra cables for free.

I know what you mean. He's a bit of a blunt instrument, as it were. He does seem to have an irrational hatred of wearing shirts, though.

A couple of ideas from me (YMMV! etc) Suggest checking out the Boss OC5 for an excellent and great value octaver? I share your pain re. drives: I've got 7 of the things sitting on my shelf which I really need to get around to moving on, haha! I found that my most recent multi (GT1000 Core) managed to match / out do them all which my cheap-as-chips Zoom B1-4 hadn't really come close to doing. But the most important thing about the GT1000 Core is the always on preamp setting, as we're not using backline, and finally getting a tone that I really like and seems to be getting plaudits from fellow BC'ers.

I'd move back to Texas in a heartbeat if I could.

That's the version I had - PJ and three knobs - but in blue like the OP's one.

Ought to be a catamaran with one hull marked "His" and the other "Hers" (making unwarranted but not unreasonable assumptions about the gender and sexuality of the Stugots).

I love the tone Barend is getting on the bridge or neck pickup reminiscent of Thoṅk. Congratulations to the both of you.

Welcome!

The thermionic valve was invented by an Englishman, John Ambrose Fleming, so "valve" is the correct word.
