One of these was my second ever bass (and first I bought with my own money!) - they are absolutely brilliant. Same colour as my old one too I loved it so much, my first 5 string was the BBG5SII! A LOT of bass for the money. Good luck with the sale!

If you want to move the USB unit on, and it can charge an iPad Pro, give me a shout! 😉

Yep BF-2B is the one

Haven't had board envy for a very long time but this one really does it for me! Some really cool and useful features! Well thought out. What's the USB Power adaptor at the bottom? Been looking for something like that for a while, providing it does what I think it does!

I should probably add I use Sibelius too - Although the new software Dorico is meant to be fantastic!

One thing to bear in mind though is that what sounds correct isn’t always the best/correct way to write the passage! Memories of a guest act coming on board when I worked on ships, with sheet music she’d written herself in this fashion. She’d started out with charts written by someone else, but wanted to edit them herself as they made changes to the show regularly. Ended up being almost unreadable!

Xotic Stereo Xblender is great. 3 parallel effects loops, 2 with variable blends, one with fixed 50/50 blend. Mono send, stereo return, plus stereo out. Total swiss army pedal for blending, multiple outputs etc!

Sold!

Hi mate, it weighs in at around 10.5lbs on my bathroom scales

18mm I believe, I'll have to get the exact weight for you this week!

No love for a handmade Jazz bass under a grand from one of the UK’s best luthiers?

I go ampless whenever I can. Generally I'll always have 2 DI's with me - A REDDI for sending my signal to the desk after my pedalboard, and a Sadowsky DI Pedal on my board. If I have control of my own mix and can have a stereo feed, then all is well and the Sadowsky becomes a very expensive tuner mute switch 😂 But if not, I send the REDDI to the desk, and I then take the DI out of the Sadowsky into one side of a Behringer P1 and have my mix into the other side so that I can still control the ratio of bass:monitor mix at my end. The only downside is for the other musicians who may miss the feeling of having the bass amp on stage, but with the Backbeat, it literally makes no difference to me having an amp on stage, hence going without whenever I can!

Maxon AF9 is a seriously underrated pedal! Lots of squelch. Old school Mutron vibe. Good luck with the sale mate!

I bought a 2nd hand NYC on here last year that had had the same thing done, and thought it was a great idea, so I requested the same on this one. Makes much more sense IMO!

For those who are interested, specs are as follows: Chambered Alder body with flame Maple top, Roasted Maple neck with ebony fingerboard, MOP dot inlays, black hardware. Weighs in at a very reasonable 8.65lbs/3.92kgs. I also had them fit a toggle switch on the control plate to switch between Active and Passive - I’ve never been fond of pulling up on the Tone knob due to the potential of changing the setting. Took it to my gig tonight and wow, what an instrument it is! Very pleased indeed 😍
