Nautilus electronics. Nearly bought one myself but could only find one in Canada and the seller put me off

Yeah there are 30 six string passion basses and 27 Arpege. All series 3 from 1990 onwards.

I love flats on my P and find it a very calming and warm sound to play in the evening at home through my headphone/backbeat setup. It's like putting on an old jumper. I go through phases where I'll focus on one bass more than the rest, and I'm very much finding my Stingray my go-to (with rounds) for stuff in general, and then I can lean to the P if I want that sound or towards the J if I want to do more slappity slap nonsense.

I just received a press release from High Tech Distribution to say that after more than 40 years of guitar and bass making, Patrice (Vigier) has made the decision to stop manufacturing by the end of 2023. There will be no new orders beyond March 11th 2022. Vigier have always been one of my favourite bass manufacturers, and I've had the pleasure of owning several instruments. It's sad to see another well regarded company close shop but Patrice won't have made the decision lightly. I'm sure you'll all join me in wishing him all the best for the future and thank him for his contribution to the development of the instrument.

I've promised him a Sansamp

Sound like you've switched to 'Grid' view here by accident. It's designed to look better on tablets etc but we never got round to uploading 'icons' for the tiles.

I'm ignoring mine for the time being as I'm skint this month

Jesus look how mint this one is! https://reverb.com/uk/item/51061278-mu-tron-mutron-iii-original-box-near-mint-envelope-follower

Good idea, thanks - weirdly a chap just posted a similar thing on TB, he put the cover in some coffee for a bit which darkened it just enough.

Who? 😆

I bought a white cover for my bass recently just to try. It’s slightly whiter than the body (as I thought it would be) so probably won’t use it.

Depends on how you plan on using it, too. Different compressors are good at different things 👍🏼

My fave is the MXR M80something. I preferred it over the Cali 76 and the FEA Opto

G&L SB1 - Vol 80%, Tone around 50% (this bass sounds very different depending where you put the vol control) Stingray 2 band - Vol 80%, Treble 40%, Bass 60% Celinder J-update - Both pickups 10%, Treble 80% with boost dip switch off, bass 10% boost with dip switch to wide. Vigier Passion - Everything centred and flat

I barely need a bass let alone a backup bass

One of the reasons I don’t have a pedalboard. These are three of my fave pedals and not a single one uses a standard 9v supply, or shares anything in common with the others. Luckily they all take batts!

Looks like a bass shop = actually your house

Always loved the contours on the body of the SR5. Hope you like it!

I've got the 2x10 5002 combo and the 1x15 powered cab. They sound fantastic together, super happy with them both. Now I'm wondering if I shouldn't get a couple more for that price!

I usually DI straight into the fishing tackle box

I played my Stingray at the weekend and it just sounded perfect. I'm really happy with my rig, too, which I don't use very often (Blackstar 2x10 and 1x15) I swear 'Rays have the punch and thump of a P combined with the snap and texture of a Jazz... hard to explain, but it's so clear and expressive sounding and works great with effects. This was the first time I used my Mu-Tron and Danelectro Cool Cat 'live' and was absolutely delighted. OC2 into the filter was magical!

Definitely good value compared to a US built one (and by built I mean screwed together!)

Quite an interesting one here. a rare MIJ Stingray. I'm tempted to get it as a backup for my '83 which matches perfectly (apart from slab body, 2 band and bridge mutes) but probably better not https://bassbros.co.uk/product/2000-music-man-stingray-ex-mij/
