Lovely stuff!

I think their rep had shown them some the range, but don't think they actually stock them - yet.

Bass direct have indicated weights between 4kg and 5kg!

Highly recommend Adam at Southampton Guitar Repairs - based 3 mins off Jct 3 of the M27 https://www.southamptonguitarrepairs.com/

Some listings are on Andertons too: https://www.andertons.co.uk/search.php?search_query=ibanez mode No mention of projected weights. They look nice, and fill a gap for their product range. I would like to see the white with a matching colour headstock though.

Any more "mini gig rigs" to show off?

Lovely website and photos, Henrik. Keep up the good work! Greg

David has just purchased my GK Combo from me. My wife had the pleasure of meeting him in person, rather than I, but the whole transaction - from first contact, through to collection and payment - was carried out with complete ease; it was a real pleasure. Please do 'deal' with David with total confidence - he's one of the great ones, here on BassChat. Best wishes, Greg

I'm pretty sure they are 8 ohms. There is no label on back to state power rating. I've always assumed about 300 but you'd have to take speaker out to make sure of everything. Here's a picture of the back of one (they are both the same).

Free (optional donation to CLAPA). Two large and heavy but great sounding Carlsboro PA Speakers. Collection only. I am based just south of Winchester.

@DS287 I was wondering if you found a satisfactory conclusion to this saga in the end? Best, Greg

That definitely doesn’t look right for a new instrument, especially one not listed as B stock. Are you sure the batteries are actually dead? It might be worth trying a fresh pair first, just to rule that out / a wider electrical fault? As for the gouge on the fretboard, that shouldn’t be “normal” on a new bass. If it’s something you can feel easily, I’d say it’s fair to either seek a replacement or at least ask the retailer for a partial refund - especially since it’s a milestone gift. It’s reasonable to expect a new bass it to arrive in new condition. I’d contact Andertons, explain the issues clearly (photos help), and see what they offer. In my experience, they’re usually pretty good about resolving things.

After trials of the MK1, here is an update, with the new MK2. So much better functionality and far snazzier too!
