Basschatters, Haven't seen any discussion of the Flamma FB200. Seems a hoot for £100 or so... Anyone got hold of one yet? What do you think? In this video, it goes for a live trial replacing an Anagram...

Do you reckon Ibanez made Thundercat a double-neck just for these film promo appearances? Struggling to get too excited by the film. - 20 years ago, it poked fun at the excesses of the (rock) music industry. Now there isn't one so the humour is less relevant and more self-referential to the original film. That said, I've not seen it so may have to eat my words if and when I see it (and laugh) in the future.

There's a very nice Lady Godiva...

Nice... like the dark 5.

Marcus eating his own Sire dog food and it sounds great!

I saw this too. Sad for him. I enjoyed his pedal videos. Anyways, here's his auction announcement video.

I had the same criteria as you @SumOne and the EHB1006MS I've had for a couple of years now fits them perfectly. I can sit at my DAW for hours with no shoulder ache or dead batteries. Their form factor is superb - to the point that traditional bass shapes are clunky.

Totally. The form factor on these basses is spot on...

Respectfully disagree. Perhaps smaller 'Mom & Pops' stores' stock might not appeal but PMT had store/warehouses covering a broad range for beginners right through to professionals. I'm in the middle of that spectrum and sourced my great Ibby EHB-6 through PMT Leeds. Bought a ton of stuff in PMT Manchester through the years too.

Hey GX-10 users, Have any of you owners used the Div/Mix to split your signal, say for multi-band compression or to mix a clean and distorted signal? Just wondering how viable signal splitting is on this unit and, if it sounds good. Intrigued by the frequency splitting too for Squire/Sheehan like dual signal processing. Thoughts and experiences welcome…

If this decal is the serial number then it's 0471159.

@LukeFRC @grahamd My Shark Pro-active pictured I bought new so yours are still out there somewhere...

I have a Status Shark Pro-active sunburst 4-string. Great bass, plays well. Set up as a piccolo but I've not played it for years. Probably because the piccolo set came with an unwound 'G' which feels weird.

Gary Barlow on fine form last night in Manchester. Lee Pomeroy (just in shot on the right) appeared to have a ball. Also Milton McDonald on guitar left-front making a second Yes-related band member as he played with ABWH way back when they toured. Add to that Gary himself chose 'Owner of a Lonely Heart' on 'Desert Island Discs' as his wake-up call to step up the production for his music. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0001h1p) However no prog last night, just Gary's solo and Take That bangers. Great show.

Do JHS DIY pedals count? A thread on their NotaDumble:

Bass the World's take:

Which they have acknowledged themselves many times. In fact, I think Chris pops up briefly to praise JE in the full documentary.

Great sound on bass and voiced differently to Darkglass. Not sure of the retail yet but JHS are usually reasonable - especially the kits.

He had such a great tone with his Alembics but that Status through a flanger and distortion? Ugh! What a mess.

Oh yes! The original is Prog's last gasp of the 70's and is vintage Holdsworth. Entry point for many Holdsworth fans. Just a great song to start then Holdsworth raises the tension to unbearable levels before the release - killing!

I think he does play the bass on many of his records... Here's UK's 'In the Dead of Night' where he nails the line.
