The rounds seem to be the same price as always. Maybe the materials in the flats have gone up? Or maybe they aren't selling as well and they need to cover their overhead better?

Guano Apes. Not listened to them for ages.

I've had one for about 2 weeks now and it's great. Very pleased with it.

KE is such a great player. His "Metropolitain" album is a real favourite of mine.

Depends on the gig!

shops have standalone business insurance and don’t care if the courier provides cover or not.

Add a switch to the bass to join the outputs into one. The BS signature models have that on a push pull pot.

It's a great combo, but I reckon the 121H is the better option. It's a bigger box and it sounds bigger to my ears. Downside is a bit more money and it's heavier.

I bought Matt's Ashdown RM800 Evo 2. Very fast shipping - a real race to get it to me so I could do the stupid thing and use it at a rehearsal without having a chance to play with it properly! Perfectly packed, item as described. Thank you!

No fret work for me, but the rest is ok. I am a liability with a soldering iron though.

I've had valve heads serviced before (adjusting the bias etc) but never a solid state head. SS just work until they don't.

I've got one too. It's a very good amp. My Ashdown is more "me" so the VT500 isn't getting a lot of use at the moment, but I'm in 2 minds about moving it on. It is very good!

I'm using a BF Super Twin. Can't beat more cones!

Update on my amp. I had sent Dave Green an email to buy a replacement smooth master volume pot and I'd either install it myself or get a local tech to do it. Instead he asked me to send the amp in and he would do it. I sent it off on Tuesday. It arrived with Ashdown before lunch on Wednesday. At 14.42 hours on Wednesday I got an email from TNT Couriers saying they were collecting it. It arrived back with me this morning with the pot swapped for a smooth one, and no charge for the work or the part. @Ashdown Engineering amazing customer service once again. Thank you. Although I did have a slight heart attack when I fired it up and no sound... and then noticed that the Headphone switch on the back was active!

Yup - it's wonderful. At the moment it's actually plugged into my BF Super Twin! It's a perfect home amp.

I'd love a stingray. But until they make the SLO neck available easily to us over here they won't convince me to buy one.

I've asked Sandberg UK about the pickup placement. Hopefully get an answer soon.

I believe it's mainly about the pickup placement. It's now in the right ray position. On the Basic it's a bit further forward.

Sandberg have always offered more stuff if you ask. If you want a pink one with ebony then get a quote. There's loads of stuff that isn't on the configurator - all California basses are available as 32 inch medium scales too.

If the Central sells well I expect more colours to be made available. It's up to us! We must do our duty! I'm really picky about bass weight so I'm going to raise the money and then hope that a suitably light one arrives with Bass Direct / Thomann / wherever.

Looks like I'm going to be selling some things then. I really want one. I've got an amp, a PRS I hardly ever play, and I might let one of my Mezzo's go too. Should get me close enough.

It's quite a bit further back towards the bridge - the 24 fret on the basic makes it look different.

Damn that's good value. When is it coming?

When she finds out - give me first refusal please! (On the bass, I've already got 1 wife and mother in law)

Lovely strings!
