I was eyeing this one up, so I'm glad I haven't got to make any tough decisions any more! Beautiful bass, I'd love to see a video or two!

Technically it's a "competition" as you have to answer a question, and you can enter free by post; the classic get around for running "gambling that isn't gambling"

Fair, I've probably read into the comments a bit much and hate is totally the wrong word; I think I'm conflating the dislike of EBMM charging £2k for a shortscale simple P bass (which I think is the correct opinion) with the dislike of Vulf as a band (also a reasonable opinion, just not one I hold). I think the "The result is jazz funk with a raised eyebrow played by music college kids." comment hit a nerve, despite the fact it is demonstrably true! I retract my statement, but leave the comment there for posterity; carry on!

Spot on, that Tom Sawyer was flawless

Disagree on point one, but I guess that's the joy of art Point 2: They're a concept band based in the 60's/70's, and I guess you either enjoy that or you really don't; I'm surprised at the amount of hate they seem to get on here though

Oh yeah, it sold out within the hour. I understand collectors getting them, but I think anyone buying it to sound like JD should listen to Vulfmon's poem about tools and creativity:

I saw Joe in Brixton last year as part of Theo Katzmans band; killer gig, best I've been to in forever. That MSG gig though, that's something else.

I want to say that that's the point; he's got EBMM to build him (and supply him with) the three basses that he used and likes; a passive Stingray with only a volume knob (Carlos Robelli), a passive jazz (mexi j) and a short scale P with only a volume knob (Jacks precision bass jr). The fact they sell them too is just EBMM making money where they see a market. I think the video of them explaining the JDII and how much of a piss take it is I think sums it up. They're not the ones selling it, they're just happy to accept the business handout

Ooh, those are some tasty gospel chops, I know what I'm doing this week!

All the usuals, throwing out some new loves over the last couple of years: Joe Dart Tony Levin Daric Bennet

This hypothetical criminal seems very well planned in selling a fake bit of kit, especially when noone wants to reveal the serial numbers of their gear anyway, so "no sorry" is just as believable an answer...

I've never understood people's hang ups around serial numbers, trying to obfuscate them like it will somehow provide access to their bank details

Craig Blundell?

These Special Editions are gorgeous, congrats on picking one up!

I didn't watch it, but I've worked with the Sugar Babes guitarist (Francois Fasano) and he is an absolute monster, and the rest of their band is equally talented

I've heard that NAM can produce the most technically accurate models, even compared to Kemper and Neural DSP; it just suffers from the fact there is no dedicated hardware

Cool, that's what I was hoping
