Is it just me who does adequate research?

You haven't even weighed it you lazy goit! -

Noting to do with competitors - from a seller perspective it's just thick. If 1 person wants that info, there's a good chance someone else does too. -

Bit of both. Excessive questions can mean a buyer who hasn't done any work, but it can also easily mean a poorly drafted advert. What annoys me more is that if I have to ask a question about an item, the person selling then doesn't have the good sense to update the advert with that info for others. Cut and pasting the specs into an advert takes 5 seconds and saves the seller a huge amount of time because 99% of the questions have then been answered. So on balance I'm in the 'the advertiser is to blame for not including all the info' camp. And don't get me started on the "If you are looking at this you know what it is..." type advert. Flogging's too good for them. -
PRS... and far more importantly THIS IS A GIBSON: It's the Gibson Jimi Hendrix model that was shitcanned before release.

Pretty cool to watch the process.

It's not that simple. IP protection requires that the holder takes prompt action when there is a breach. Gibson have decided to take action about 40 years too late. They already lost against PRS when their own lawyer admitted that only an idiot would confuse them at the point of sale. At the moment the decisions of the courts in the US basically says that the headstock is protected but the rest isn't, and Gibson just lost the copyright on the Flying V in the EU as well. In their main action against Dean, Gibson have gone further and claimed that Dean are actually trying to pass themselves off as Gibson products. That might be the most stupid idea I've ever heard. I've also never played a Dean that was as variable in quality as a Gibson. The genie is well and truly out of the bottle. Philips lost the rotating / circular razor copyright, and Lego lost their brick / connection design when they tried to stop "compatible" products being on sale. I can well imagine this being a massive own goal with the Courts confirming explicitly that there is no copyright in a guitar apart from the headstock. Then all the makers who have already shifted to a tweaked design may go back to making the older shapes again. Gibsons are getting more expensive by the minute, and the competition are cheaper and often better built. They need to concentrate on making a good and value for money product again.

The Millerizer seemed to cut the mids and boos the bass - but also boost the treble all the way up at 12 Khz. The regular EQ doesn't go that high. I suppose ultimately would MM put his name on it if he couldn't get it to sound how he wanted? Probably not. I might give it a go. Can always send it back!

I had ordered the Little Marcus 800. Alas the shop has been informed by the supplier that there is no firm delivery date. They've offered the new Marcus Limited instead. The EQ points are all the same as the Little Marcus (good!) but the "Millerizer" control has been removed and replaced with a Semi Parametric. The Old School control is still there. http://www.markbass.it/product-detail/marcus-limited-800/ I like the Miller slap sound, but I'm also aware that it's not really suitable for my band situation so that's less important at the moment. But I do want to make sure I can get the traditional Miller sound out of it too - so in idiot terms like a 3 year old could understand it - how does a Band Pass filter work (in the older model) and from the specs of the new model does it look like a similar sound can still be achieved? thank you!

Love playing with people and for people. Hate the travel, loading unloading etc etc
-
Does anyone make good ones for any bass? I like them a lot but I haven’t got one for my Sandberg.
-
Different EQ once again. Instead of the Old School / Millerizer controls. My 800 should arrive late next week. I could have got it quicker from elsewhere but I had Andertons points to spend too.
-
How are you mojomojo people setting your amp up first? Just flat or are you doing something else with it?
-
Andertons website now updated to 10th October!
-
Well with the delays I’ve spent my money on a Little Marcus 800. Ill start saving again for the Legacy now! 😂
-
I've actually got a MojoMojo but I've never tried it on bass. Might have to try it.

I’m guessing Christmas then! Although some Talk Bass guys have got theirs already.
