Isn't the Dart pickup a ceramic/Sterling (as in American Sterling) pickup?

You must have just missed the GuitarGuitar offer. Think they had a few Cutless and Caprice basses at end of line prices, brand new as well from the dealer.

I've just seen Ashdown tease what appears to be a big valve signature amp for Nate Mendel. It could be a one off, but it says 'watch the web'....which suggests this is a tease of it? See their Instagram.

Hiya It's just the Headrush 112 FRFR powered cab, which went to such a low price on Amazon I had to try it, and so far i'm very impressed. I wasn't sure whether to tweak the global EQ as I know a lot of guitarists do this.

Can anyone point me in the right area on here for settings for a FRFR cab with the stomp with bass? E.g. should I amend the global settings? This cab kicks out a LOT of low end....probably too much. The Darkglass pedal model is a lot of fun and the Stomp probably cost just a bit more than one DG product ahahaha!

All they need to do is use a different font!

Just use a Line 6 Stomp/similar pre-amps etc into a PA....even the guitarists.

The pups in that bass are excellent, like REALLY good imo. Spec: American-made Pure Vintage ’64 Jazz Bass single-coil pickups. They are growly and loud....I think.

But why would you even take that bass to a show with that logo?!

To be honest I'd leave it stock and enjoy not fiddling! I love options but the simplicity is great. I imagine these will retain value pretty well.

I'd like one. I like the simplicity, the stunning figured neck, and the overall aesthetics. It's kinda cool in a weird way. This reminds me yet again that there is nothing like a proper Musicman humbucker in the sweet spot.

Well, my life was an absolute rollercoaster just after the Stomp came out, so I put it on hold. Even now, in Jan 2020, things are pretty intense, but I picked up a HX Stomp in the Black Friday sales and I am SUPER impressed. I did own a full fat Helix Floor, but I found it too large, and I just didn't need that much power and control. Even on guitar, I am finding I have enough processing power, in a tiny box, for what I need. The quality of the unit is excellent, the sound is great, and the flexibility is so fun. I have yet to try it with bass, but I can't wait!

Great work and congrats! Love Boss/Roland.

I wonder if these are made in the UK for that price?

I don't think I've met one bass player/spoken to one bass player that bought the heavier versions of these cabs. They might be on a blowout soon.

Orange seem to be smashing out lots of new stuff over the past few years.

Looks like a Mk2 version is on it's way... https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Peavey-MiniMAX-MKII-Bass-Head/2VI9?origin=product-ads&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8IXn1qTE5gIVg7HtCh0xjgE4EAQYAiABEgJ-5vD_BwE

It seems a bizarre concept, but I imagine Roger wanted a change to his life and probably benefitted massively financially. But, a MIC Sadowsky just seems wrong....for that brand.

I just hope the prices go down and the quality stays as is. Strange agreement; never imagined this would happen.

Wow! Congrats.

Those Strandbergs are incredibly expensive for what they are. But the Tech 21, why not!

The problem is, to get that level of neck figuring you have to pay a lot. I imagine that neck alone is about £500 due to the rarity. Added to that, IMO only a Musicman sounds like a proper Musicman. You can get very good humbuckers and pre-amps but they are never the same. Whilst no resale prices are decent, it's a rare Musicman, so it should retain value a lot better than a small builders one off. I imagine even Shuker would charge £2.5k for this.

This lower price might help, plus a choice of 4! https://www.andertons.co.uk/music-man-2019-bfr-stingray-h-vintage-sierra-fretless I actually think that price is fairly reasonable for a very limited and unique bass.

That 5 string sounds fantastic.

Fantastic colour....and I love the SR5 shape and pickguard. You definitely got the good end of the deal!
