[quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1500993962' post='3341580'] I think you may own a large part of the UKs quota! [/quote] I've definitely got a few quirky spec Musicman instruments. However, in this climate I would not build up such a collection.

Gosh looks like I'll definitely be holding onto all of mine. Pricing has gone crazy. I'd never be able to replace them without spending about 40% more.

I specifically ordered in a Sterling 5 HS about 5 years ago, maybe less, and it's a lovely instrument. Unfortunately due to normal price rises, then excessive price rises, then the £ issue, they are no doubt around £2000 for a standard 5H now. They can definitely order you one at your spec.

Awesome! Would have lent you a GBenz NX2 212T if you needed it for a gig, but you are sorted!

If you have a 2x12 with no other option for the higher end (tweeter etc) then that is the reason for missing those frequencies, unfortunately.

Well Chase Bliss have just released a delay pedal for £499..... ....man things are expensive.

I do like the show but apparently it no longer follows the novels. That kind of makes sense as it was about that point I started to notice it changed (and I had no clue the novels had 'finished' at this point). I'll still watch it but it's golden days have past for now. This first episode was ok, perhaps a little slow, but Ed did not need to be in it.

Next there will be a female Doctor Who! (Obviously tongue in cheek - absolutely no idea why anyone cares that a female has the role, it is about time).

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1499870697' post='3334203'] I don't see what the problem is. A quick look at completed listings on eBay shows that if you wanted second-hand versions of the original edition pedals that these are copies of, you could be paying nearly as much. In the world of guitar tones technically improved doesn't always mean a better sound. [/quote] I was interested as a guitarist and not so much as a bassist with this set. I don't tend to pay any attention to eBay as it shows how over inflated these things become, and doesn't tell the complete story. Yes, I understand a mint original with packaging will be expensive and a collectors piece. Will this new set be the same? Or will it lower the value of the old versions a little? Who knows. £750 is a lot of money. I was very interested but I just don't think I can justify that for three basic pedals.

https://www.andertons.co.uk/p/BOX-40/eq-pedals/boss-compact-pedal-40th-anniversary-box-set I was quite interested in this set, then I saw the price. Despite the value of the original, YIKES!

Shame you can't go over and buy one on a nice holiday and bring it back. I will probably do that with the next Tech 21 pedal I want...I did it with an Xotic EP Booster and saved about £50...and I was there on holiday anyway.

Reasonable US price, no doubt very high quality. I'd love a full Bergantino Bass setup. 3 x 112s.

Classy!

They all sound great! That is how you compare basses! Nice to hear some high end after being used to flats for a while.

BBP35.... https://www.gak.co.uk/en/yamaha-bb-p35-bass-5-string-vintage-sunburst/909055 Oh yes....that is nice. Cheaper than a Fender?!?!??!

Welcome to GuitarGuitar hahahaah

I have a Fig Fumb and PDF-2 but so far only used on guitar.

MIJ Yamahas for £1400 ish?!

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1498826532' post='3327374'] Which leaves me hopelessly confused. I thought that the Plek process gave unbeatable results? [/quote] The Plek machine is an expensive investment, but no doubt much cheaper for a machine to do this work rather than a skilled luthier.

I still use my Mac and wireless speakers for most of my casual listening, but I buy quite a lot of vinyl. Call it what you will, but buying a nicely designed album on heavyweight vinyl (especially limited colours) is really fun. I like buying music properly this way. You wouldn't believe the jump in value of some of the recent limited runs. I love the sound and listening to a full album with vinyl. Great experience. Proper coffee and chilling with a new album is great. I've got boxes of amazing albums on CD, but they don't get used often. Most people complain about vinyl prices because they get cheap mp3s (or 'free') and they don't realise that a double heavyweight album does command £20....plus times have changed and physical music is more 'expensive' due to general increases in the cost of living. I recently bought Radiohead's 'OKNOTOK' on limited blue vinyl from one store that was a little later putting it online for pre-order. I'm really REALLY happy with it. Much rather have the vinyl + mp3s rather than a CD. Yes, you do need a decent turntable, amp and quality speakers are a must.

I have a soft spot for Markbass, but I thought the idea of them using Indonesian manufacturing was that the final product was cheaper? At first it was a little cheaper, now, not so much. The LM3 is an old design now, it should be selling cheaper. Ultimately, the decision was probably pure profit.

Nice simple and quality looking instrument.

It's almost July. What on earth are they playing at....
