    My word that looks heavy!

    It does appeal I have to say. Do you find the EQ a bit limiting?

    He uses so much compression he wouldn't notice.

    This is amazing https://music.apple.com/us/album/bach-unaccompanied-cello-suites-performed-on-double-bass/468820668

    Seem to be significantly over my £1000 limit, alas.

    If it's got a volume control then there is no such thing as too big.

    I'd like that Aguilar as well! But it's too heavy for me.

    I had an Ashdown MAG400H about 20 years ago when the MAG were still built in the UK and it was very good. I used it with a Marshall VBC412. These days it would go with a Barefaced Supertwin. I tend to like a beefy clean sound maybe with a tiny tiny bit of grit to enhance harmonic content rather than any actual amp drive.

    I've had Class D amps since they've been available - back to the MB F1 I think. But I'm about to sell a couple of basses and I'm thinking of an old fashioned hefty amp Obvious choice is an Ashdown ABM600 evo-4, but what else is good these days? No more than a grand though. I'll get in trouble! ta.

    I ordered the PJ set. It did need a little routing - it was just a bit too tight to get it in.

    Carrier. I got an email from UPS and used their payment system. They also have 'pay the driver' available in some areas. It was a little more than expected - I accounted for VAT and the courier admin charge but had forgotten about import tax as well. Total paid about £214. Still a massive bargain.

    Paid my vat / import / handling and it should be delivered on Thursday. That's far faster than I was expecting. I was thinking about selling my Darkglass head as I almost always use my Mark Bass, but now I can have a 3 way shoot out.

    IIRC at the moment I have TI Flats (P bass); EB Group 4 flats (Sandberg); Dunlop flats (5 string Ibanez Mezzo); D'Addario Nickels (the rest). So that list is completely wrong!

    Ooo I have a dispatch email! Probably take 2 weeks to actually get here these days!

    You can custom order any Sandberg with a 32 scale. Same cost as opting for 35 on a bass that would normally be 34.

    It’s becoming my favourite bass!

    Aargh. I need to sell before I can buy.

    I hated the RH750. I wouldn't buy another for £25.
  19. fretmeister
    Thomann.
  20. fretmeister
    Definitely! I've ordered the head - £159 + vat! Madness. Andertons still showing them at £699. And I've just seen they've sold out. I do have an order number so I hope I got one.
  21. fretmeister
    Is that excluding Vat? EDIT - I've had a look at the prices. I think you've forgotten the Vat that will be charged when it arrives.

    The overall cost of making a Mars Bar and getting it into the shops is under 5 pence. Customers have decided we'll happily pay a quid for one.
  23. fretmeister
    I've just found one on the sold page at BD - looks like it was about £1700!
  24. fretmeister
    Sandberg do this one
  25. fretmeister
    The scale isn't the issue - it's the strings. Low tuned short scales can be amazing - but I'd be expecting a 130 instead of that 105.
