agedhorse doesn't seem to be the one trolling here...

22 total Gibson double necks with a bass neck. One on reverb for £43k

There are quite a few pictures of elves playing the bass and apparently that was his favourite. However there aren't many of the eds 1250s about now

Then you fix the power supply. Or if not, you have to get another power supply, so you are no worse off, other than a gone power supply. But I have never had a pedalboard power supply actually die, so I doubt it is going to happen.

Not insulting in any way, I have just not had it, so maybe there is something wrong with your systems? I have a Smoothhound, and two chinese wireless dongle systems (one 2.4g, one 5g) and haven't had it at all - feel free to insult if you want, they 2.4g ones cost £19, but they work fine. Actually I have another one, that i have never tried, its a stereo system 2.4G system which I got for the stick, but haven't tried yet.

Only image they don't show you of the power bars is the underside, seems like it must have some holes or something to attach it?

Pretty well the same as the spaceship board with the power bolted on. Would need to hack the back line off a normal metal board as the power socket is at the back and the other sockets at the front. Probably not too much of a pain though,. Pretty tempted I must say, a really clean solution to a problem I actually have (which I can't say for most purchases I make because of things here!)

They come with a 3mm baseplate to move them up don't they?

Yeh, i had a babicz before on a Gibson eb5, but seemed a bit over faffy, and obviously they only do the wide spacing so no good for me. Most of my bridges are just the originals, they aren't anything I change much, because you don't have to fiddle with them that often and once they are set up it is pretty hard for it to not work - the ibanez all have the monorails, the spectors have quite a chunky bridge (can't say I am overkeen but does the job), I suppose if I was to pick something, it would probably be something like the Schaller 3ds - good string spacing, good adjustment and looks good too. Still, at least they are not gibson bridges!

Mines the standard Maruszczyk with 17mm. Not that it matters - it might not be the best bridge in the world but it works fine and when it is set up you don't have to touch it for a long time.

Doesn't that depend on your standard - by default you can specify 17-20mm bridge spacing. They all look the same but maybe not

The reason it is cheaper in many cases (not specifically amazon, I don't order from there) is you have nothing like the protection that you get here. Probably doesn't matter with strings, but things cost more here due to protections that we take for granted, like over a year warantee instead of 3 months etc.

The wierd thing, if you select a spaceship board, you can click the 'make a bundle and save 5%'. as part of the bundle you can pick many types of power supply, but not this one that literally goes with the board. Maybe they are new and they haven't caught up. I mean my pedalboard is fine (case is screwed) but that power supply looks great, maybe I can just hacksaw the back off and fit one

Indeed - I think you need more synth! Is the plethora no good for octave then?

There is an additional screw that stops it moving back and forward, but the two at the top control height, as long as there is height to take off. Like all bolt ons, if you run out of height to take off at the bridge you need to shim the neck. And if you do that on a Maruszczyk, be carefull of the screws!

Completely untrue. Most active basses don't.

Which is what I said in the first place - I wasn't disputing any impact of punk, I was saying that a lot of 'punk' bands had nothing to do with a 'scene' and it wasn't all teenage rebelion, therefore as a music it is just as valid now as it was then.

They do other sizes

Oh why did I not see that before, it has a 3A 9v supply, so it can power a Helix too. That sounds like a good thing and it connects with a real power supply.

I was in my beginning of the my teens, it was significant (in the UK - although measurably not had that much impact worldwide), but after that it was a label given to any band with harsh sounding guitars in the late 70s. And of all those bands, only a small minority wanted anything other than to make music and get famous / rich / pull.

I lent a planet waves strap to someone - it cam back rather nasty (only 1 gig mind).

I have a variety. Most of them are Couch vegan straps, as they tend to be bought for me by my (vegan) wife, they tend to match the bass that I have them on. I also have one of the really wide couch straps on the 5005 as it is so heavy. One is a denali strap, which I got as it was the only thing I could get to match my shuker I have a couple of leather straps, but they tend to be on things I don't really care that much about, as they don't match (they are brown or black and I have fewer of those now) I have a Comfort strapp somewhere, comfortable but ugly and I never really got on with it Oh I also have a really wide maruszczyk strap, which came with my maruszczyk, which is a bit pointless as that chambered swamp ash!

They do come in a much nicer box though

Indeed, cable loss is not an issue where wireless systems are employed. So if that is your only reason for active (and is primarily mine) then it is not an argument.
