Great!

Ok, great Gareth! At least two on the list then!

Is there any interest in doing a Hampshire & IOW bass bash?

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1484063980' post='3212352'] I'm sure Fodera would argue quite strongly that they're at custom shop level. The point I was trying to make is that you can get a better bass (not Fodera) for half the price of a current (especially with the recent price hikes) MIA fender. [/quote] Sure, I appreciate they would argue that, but as it says: "[color=#000000][font=open-sans, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]built in batch with limited options to keep costs and wait time to a minimum".[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=open-sans, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]I'm not having a dig at Fodera, [/size][/font][/color][font="open-sans, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"][color="#000000"][size=4]moreso curious to what type of person would be attracted to spending their money on these - when the market place offers so much more for a LOT less.[/size][/color][/font]

I really like Scott's comment at the bottom of the page..... [indent=2][color=#696969][i]"[font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]I was waiting for the price to drop on these: 4K for a passive j or p bass with very little customisation has me going all kinds of "ehhhhh", considering you're in sadowsky NYC territory price wise. And leaving you space for a preamp is kind of like selling a Lamborghini with a big gap in the engine bay where the turbo would go. Man, drop the price by 2k, and outsource the labour to Japan, Ken Smith style. People can still "have" a fodera of company monitored quality. I think we all put the brand up on a bit of a pedestal, and this line feels like it's taking the piss a bit"[/font][/i][/color][/indent]

[quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1484063466' post='3212345'] They're Fender inspired so why not do the same with pricing? :-) [/quote] An equivalent Fender in terms of wood, and features is less than half-price

Yes, I'm sure Fodera has done the market research to suggest that there will be some people who'll spend $4,000 on a well-built passive P or J. However, I cannot help but thinking there has to be a limit to what a brand / name does to persuade people to spend their money. http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2017/01/08/fodera-unveils-monarch-p-and-emperor-j-standard-classic-basses/ What are your thoughts?

Purchased a Tecamp cab from Gareth. Great gent to deal with and remarkably (and conveniently) works just around the corner from one of the places I teach. We must meet on a less rainy day for a coffee and a bass chat! Happy to Recommend 100% Greg

It's an anticipation.

Good luck as you learn to play, and have lots of fun!

Hello and welcome!

Hi from across the pond

Welcome and enjoy!

Welcome on board!

Yes, thanks - I was pretty sure of the norm for SS amps to do this, I was just checking to see specifically about this EA amp - any specific quirks. I had heard that Ashdown did an SS amp which had problems after doing the same.

Hi, Too long a story for here, but I'd like to know if anyone has run an EA doubler without a speaker connected for a gig. I need the balanced output - DI pedal being used elsewhere. Thanks in advance Greg

Hampshire Based Guitar player Wanted A professional and exciting Hampshire based function band seeks a reliable and competent Guitarist. Currently the band is gigging as a trio, and we are in the process of turning into a 5-piece to suit wedding and corporate type gigs. Other than being highly skilled on your instrument and being Hampshire based, we'd really prefer it if you had a high motivation to participate in several rehearsals prior to gigging (either in the SO53 or SO32 areas) & the flexibility to do regular gigs. You'll need your own reliable transport and professional equipment. Also, it'd be great if you had a desire to play an active part in the band’s promotional activities – wedding fairs etc. To give you an idea of the level the band perform at, most of the current performers earn a full-time living from playing and/or teaching music. The line up is currently, lead vocalist, drums, bass + backing vocals, piano + backing vocals. We'd like to add a guitar (with or without BV's) to fill out the sound. The band currently play a great mixture of function material, however we perform most of these with a professional 'twist' of adding a Latin Flavour to each song. This really helps us stand out from the crowd of pub - type bands etc. Please get in touch if you'd like more details and let us know a little more about yourself too! Thanks! Greg
