  1. A newer model, after Stefan restarted the company. Have you changed and repositioned the tuners to face backwards, a la Warwick? To me this looks to be the standard Blackstone body. Correct? Knobs also changed? Great sounding and playing basses.
  2. What a beautiful bass, clearly a top class build.
  3. Marmite, you like or loath it. I happened to love it. Stuart Clayton did not as if memory serves me well the Blue colour is a respray to get rid of you the splatter. Nothing wrong with a lovely blue
  4. Stefan has a good grasp on dates so it must be a 94/95 then. I literally cannot imagine being without one, effortless neck, great tone. You will love it I’m sure.
  5. Lefty playing righty! For me it is simple, naturally if I use 1 hand I am a lefty (ping pong, forehand tennis, throwing a ball) but if I use 2 (double handed backhand, cricket, BASS) right feels natural...... odd but true. Couldn’t hit a string lefty.
  6. Congrats BTW, welcome to the club.
  7. It is Kurandt, apparently Kurandt is making onboard pres again.
  8. I really should do a shoot as pics are so so, but here goes. 2001 5 string, 1993 Jazz pickup 4, 1994 Soapbar 4
  9. Bogart? Never heard of them You have done your research, 1 comment. Stefan still makes the composite body style. He also offers the full wood body option. Great guy, great basses. I would peg your 5 to be late ‘90s, you can see mine as background pic on my homepage. Very similar, a 2001 model. BTW He has also introduced (you cannot see it on his website) a Jazz with a mainly wooden neck, a la Vigier.
  10. Is this the same bass you listed a few months back? Sabre’s are great sounding basses.
  11. I love Lollars, especially on Ash bodies. They balance the natural scooped character. GLWTS.
  12. Next Wick, a Streamer Stoneage 1 made from fossilised dino poo.
  13. This happens to me all the time, but then it doesn’t help that I am Wolverine and my adamantium claws keep shooting out unexpectedly when I play an open A.
  14. Stop it! The scribble strips thankfully are on the HX too, but amp modeling..... can someone please buy this before I crack. Fair bit off for a practically new full fat Helix.
  15. Harry, the HX is fine for your needs..... you do not have GAS...
  16. I remember smiling quite a bit when I saw an Oasis tribute NOasis a few years ago. And don’t forget Fake That.

    2.6 and the cosmic balance is restored
  18. Both the L and M indeed have 6 bolts nowadays, but my old L was a stable as my new L so probably image indeed.
  19. Plus 1, G&Ls never had the issue ..... it is about quality of work, not number of bolts..... although more bolts mean you can be less accurate and still have a stable connection.

    NPD: Helix HX

    Octave tracking is very good, generally digital means better tracking than analogue. The synths/organs are decent, if they are right for you I clearly cannot say. For my personal taste the Future Impact has the upper hand, so I kept it on my board. Same with the COG Octaver and the dirt pedals I kept, could the HX replace them? Yes. But sounds and settings are personal, for my taste some pedals were simply a better fit and I kept (and will keep) them. Others (B7K e.g,) had a direct HX alternative or I found a comparable sim (chorus e.g.). Almost convinced the Keeley can be taken off too.
  21. This is an insanely good price for what I consider to be one of the best sounding amps out there, ever...
