  1. Well considering the hefty prices for an 'official' Made in China Dingwall, this seems a great option hahaha!
  2. I'd class these two as 'top of their game': 1. Bergantino Forte HP2 Bass Amplifier - Bass Direct https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/bergantino-forte-hp2-bass-amplifier/ 2. Mesa Boogie Subway TT-800 - Andertons Music Co. https://www.andertons.co.uk/mesa-boogie/mesa-boogie-subway-tt-800 If I ever move on my Genz Benz/TC amps or fancy a change, I'll be sure to choose one of those. Compared to guitar amp pricing now, we have it pretty easy! I understand the issue with Gibson and the crazy price jumps, so I understand why people might not be happy, but for once I'm pretty sure £1550 ish seems fair for the top of the line USA made product.
  3. I really like these JD models. Simple and stripped back. Love the natural. EBMM have mostly changed into a MUCH more limited run type company now for the USA models, with higher pricing. Gone are the days of seeing a load of Stingrays at £1400 on the wall.
  4. The unfortunate part of this is that the Classics, whilst they came out say 10 years ago, were also less than half the price of these new (4 string versions). I picked up a Classic 5 Stingray (the best bass guitar I've ever owned!) for about £1600 brand new. Prices are crazy in 2023.
  5. My advice - get a HX stomp. Fantastic piece of equipment, especially if you also tinker with guitar.
  6. It's worth considering not that long ago, you could get a Musicman Stingray H (USA) with a hardcase for around £1300-1400. This is absolutely absurd money, and just like the latest 'high end' Epiphones, I doubt they will sell many.
  7. No real bass support at launch is POOR.
  8. Sounds like he is, sadly, a bit of a con-man! Glad you got your money back.
  9. For Ampeg, those cabs are exceptionally light.
  10. Yamaha don't normally mess about; usually they go to town on reliability and build quality. This might be a good move for them.
  11. The Oly White/Tort 60s P Bass - looks like my first 'proper' bass - Fender MIJ P Bass 60s....I miss that thing. This is the first bass I've liked the look of in a long time!
