Put it in the front seat, the second person sits behind you in the back, amp, cab, baritone horn in the boot. Simples.

If they send out a replacement under warranty, will that also be subject to customs charges, handling and VAT?

Why oh why did I not buy it?

Dream on!

Me too. Basically it's nonsense. Where does my BB800 fit? Call them by their model numbers.

60 on the G? That's got to be a typo surely.

Nathan East playing his BBNE2 (start - 3.00), talking about his relationship with Yamaha over the years (3.00 - 8.25 ish).

I'm almost the same. I have' 'About to lose my mind ....' and Ain't got nothing to lose, got those 20th C Blues

Axe'r'us have a good selection too.

You used to be able to get something called Plasti Dip for coating handles of tools. In theory it peels off and leaves the surface underneath undamaged. Not sure I'd want to try it on a bass myself. Maybe some acoustic foam tiles on the ceiling?

Also those lugs at either side are a notorious failure point.

I don't think there's any octave up. It's pitched where you would expect it to be pitched for a bass guitar. Stainless round wounds, maybe a hex core?

I'm hoping it reaches the asking price: my 465 will be worth about 4 times what I thought it was, if so!

Definitely a Musima, and a 3/4 not full size. I have one identical, my old man bought it in 1971.

Best buy at the moment is Clarky's CIJ Mustang in the Basses For Sale section.

+1 for these guys, my son has a couple of their pedals for guitar and they're superb quality. Is Martin Owen still building pedals? https://www.owenelectronics.co.uk/

I think the modern steel strings don't help. When I had a Hofner bass in the '70s it had black nylon strings which were lower tension.

For a time I used a studio rack compressor in the effects loop, to compress all the signal all the time. This was with a Markbass head, and I had to set the effects loop to serial, otherwise half the signal will bypass the loop. Other than that, I can't see the point. Most effects produce instrument-level signal rather than line-level signal, and are designed to go through the pre-amp gain stage. Some work in a loop, some don't or fail to do what you expect.

Pretty sure that's a guitar amp, not a bass mini-rig. The original version of the mini-rig did have two separate 10" speakers, but it didn't look like that. It was called the Perfect 10, here's an old thread with a picture.

Have you had a look at the Ampeg Micro-CL, similar concept.

I'd like to think that he'll slip Nic Jones a few quid to make up for the shameless appropriation of Canadee-i-o, but I'm not holding my breath.

I have an AC-60. The manual says: 4. PHANTOM switch This turns the phantom power on and off.Set this to “ON” when connecting mics that require phantom power (condenser mic, etc.).Set this to “OFF” when connecting mics that do not require phantom power or other devices.

He'd have to change his name to Tony 'kin'ell .

Even narrower - the OLP is 16.5mm . There is a Nordstrand replacement pickup specially designed for it. I had one of these for a while too, very playable. If the OP is looking for a new bass, a Yamaha 235 should be on the list of basses to try.
