    Hey - can you describe your practice setup please? Ive a similar problem, at the mo my “me time” is after the little one has gone to bed ... and firing up an amp would go down very badly with all involved.

    I’m serious about the danger of gas - not playing but having nice basses is ok if you can afford it - it’s crap if you spend more time talking about basses online than you do playing

    So the first time years ago when you were wanting to pack it all in you sold me a very nice blue jazz. Always felt a bit bad taking that off you. Keep the white jazz, and keep the prototypes if you want, stop feeling the need to play - you can have a break and that’s fine. That’s good - but don’t sell the jazz. So that’s one thing- but why you wanting a Yamaha? Stop the gas, stop looking, stop bass foruming and stop buying stuff too

    Is shouty a positive of negative?

    Stunning - sound as good as it looks?

    Just looked it up ... £2.7k !!!!

    I tried one of them a year or so back - after the ‘75 ri was a GAS bass for me and one I really wanted the ‘74ri I tried was awful, nasty looking wood, massively thick neck finish and dull sound. Disappointing. anyway that wasn’t why I was posting - but to say I got to try out a custom shop P in a shop the other day - and it was lovely ... esp after the awful USA std or whatever they are called one. But £2k lovely? Not really

    I think I’m equally responsible for the little one

    Out of interest where do you keep them? The other half is telling me we might not have the space for my 4 ...

    With the Curved back?
  11. LukeFRC
    Would some kind of varitone switch with a big knob be big enough to cover it?
  12. LukeFRC
    Ouch
  13. LukeFRC
    Really good prices here

    The pointy bit on the bottom edge of the body?

    Are there any younger music presenters out there? There doesn’t seem to be much of a talent stream

    Argh we had that model at the church I played bass for for almost ten years. Ok I admit I probably would be better with the eq now but sticking a bright sounding Warwick streamer with active pups into it was like going through a time machine into an 80s nightmare. Mind you I would try one again... though the tech who fixed my walkabout warned me off them as *apparently* the Fets are out of production

    So you’ll be asking @skelf to make you a fretless with his filter preamp in it then...
  19. LukeFRC
    Did it originally have the filter based pre? I’ve the EQ-01 and it’s amazing in terms of tonal variation - it does however match the character of the streamer really well

    The John East / ACG preamp transformed my streamer into one of the best basses I’ve ever played. I would happily buy anything from either Alan or John based on the quality of that preamp alone.

    To try and shift different models ... then come out with a legacy version in a few years time (at a higher price point) ?
  22. LukeFRC
    Go for it. I went to a music shop this week to try out a fender, a custom shop, a new ray and a sandberg, tried through both a amped svt and the new orange terror bass - regardless of the basses I came away thinking that my Mesa walkabout was in another league compared to them, for clean punchy power and heft even... On the bench with the Mesa recommended tech I was using mine was actually putting out around 400w apparently ...

    I would say I call a spade a spade ... but think that would make it worse

    My mate who was a farmer had very good equipment, well maintained and looked after. It was heavy duty and his tractor was from the 1930s and still going strong. he hadn’t however mastered the art of putting a fence up that could stop a sow on heat escaping but that’s a different conversation. When I say agricultural would Land Rover defender vs Velar be more helpful?

    Is the hd350 into the BB2 really that much more effort to move?
