Fantastic! I have an NG2, which i have swapped out with an EMG BQS preamp ( hate the Darkglass capsule 🤢) and its a wonderful thing. The banjo frets, and stability on drop D or highest G , is awesome, and intonation never goes out. if you have time to post a little sound clip, that would be awesome.

Whats the tone like with the new preamp?

Keys player was booking some gigs and keeping more than his fair share. Only found out after a new years gig, when i called the venue - they thought it was him on the phone - and they confirmed the £3k fee. trouble was we were getting £250 each, and he was keeping £1.5k it was my band and my pa, and the rule was always an equal split regardless. Some people…….

Hi George, i feel you on this one. my advice would be to have a break from it. Arrange a dep and tell the lads you are having a few months off, and hope to be back. i found the monotony of playing the same songs - more or less - for 5 years a downer and really hit my enthusiasm for something i have always loved. When i left i found i was playing stuff i had not looked at for ages, and being invited into other bands etc. Also i started learning keys which i never had the time for before. its been about six months now and just thinking of getting back in the saddle again, so to speak. leave the door ajar, rather than slamming it closed, and give yourself time to breathe and think. hope this helps George, and good luck, Mike

Sorry chaps not fully understandidng this? Does it make the EBS less loud, or versatile? great review JG, thanks, its been on my list for a while

Woolworths. i mean where is boy - who isnt supposed to eat sugar - supposed to get his pick n mix? They let me down badly there, and my grandson willnever have the pleasure of a bon bon or peanut shaped sweet, or those pineapple cubes that made your mouth hurt. Shame. on a serious note, EDF Energy = avoid. Mucho love for Octopus though….. can we include the Conservative party? May as well be a company……..

I had the same answer - not their fault - just waiting for stock. So went for a nice NG2 , but with pickups in the combustion position will treat myself to a DRoc soon.

Looks a very cool bass. I had the SB1000, which is still an awesome bass, but cant lug that monster around anymore. Dingwalls are 8lbs of fan fretted, tonal bliss.

I think Bass Direct have sold their quota of 10 red ‘Rio’ basses. anybody on here a lucky owner, and what do you think of it? thinking of buying in black….. thanks

I know its a while ago JG, but just to say thanks. Picked one up and love it!

You cant go wrong with a good P bass!

I would suggest looking at the Ibanez SR range, perhaps an SR300 nice , playable neck, wide tonal range and light. Good luck learning, i had great fun playing CARS with an 80s band recently , with the bass synthed up!
