That looks amazing - I really like the finish. I'll post some of my incoming 5er when it arrives.

...so now you can just buy what you want

Seen worse...

Save yourself the work, send it back and get one that fits without modding.

Prefer the LPB one TBH....but what do I know 😄😄

I may be buying a TRB which I don't need. I really need to down size...GAS is a cruel mistress.

Why don't you get one of the many talented luthiers here to build you a 35" fretless neck?

Most of the TE gear is well built and rarely goes wrong IME - some have been around for a while and well used so servicing record might be of value. Test anything you might want to buy even though it's bullet proof.

Ah, technology to make your life easier....

My local Amp Tech, Mal tells how he repaired a customers MB head. Apparently the UK suppliers can only sell a certain (low) amount of circuit boards each year. He was fortunate to get one of these for this customer but he puts little faith in the future supply. If you want something reliable - get an Ashdown (with great customer service) or TE (which last forever).

Hey 'Shell Haven't I seen you somewhere before?? I checked - you can change your email address in Account settings....

Lovely - Jezza brought a couple of these to the Herts Bash/ SE Bashes. I'm green with envy...

It's haunted!! 👻👻

I'm amazed that a bass player is concerned about the neck size on a geeetar. In the past you've had to adapt to neck sizes on a bass (successfully) - you shouldn't have any issues picking up a guitar. In fact, you'll be surprised how weeny they feel. I suspect you know one or two guitarists who would allow you to try whatever they have.

Came late to this thread.... A BC member, John, has a TRB5 with pick ups from Goodfellows. He brought that and a Yamaha TRB 6 string to various SE Bashes - sounds monster...

Not for me - and I love a gadget.

The weight of the Roadster may prove to be an issue - notorious for being 10lbs+

Amp shortage??? Not in my home... 5 TE heads and a 150 combo. Ashdown EVO 180 combo Ashdown Little Giant 1000w head Markbass S450 That is probably overdoing it, I know...

It could be pride of place on your Bonfire next month.

There was a period in the 80s when Maxi Priest was a God to me. One of my inspirations to start playing Bass.

Though not a direct "copy" of a Wal, ACGs have their own characteristic palette. As I always say - if you can't find a tone you like there's something wrong with you - not the ACG bass. There are a few on this forum - see if you can borrow one...
