Have you seen the Hotone Skyboard? It's designed especially for tiny pedals, details here. They are indeed tiny and are very well made. It also comes with a sturdy, well padded soft case. I bought one to help add some weight to my Tech 21 DP-3X as the pedal was so light!

That's exactly what I was thinking too.

Johan bought a Hipshot drop tuner from me. He paid for it in super quick time, you can't ask for more than that as a seller! Highly recommend chap to do business with.

I'll give you a shout when I get a couple of hours free. Cheers!

Sounds like it's a cracking little unit, Kev, I'll have to invite myself round for a cheeky listen 😃

There's a couple pf shouts on here for the Chowny SWB-1. They are indeed great basses, I briefly owned a passive one myself and they are well made and the pickups are sublime, they have a great punchy tone to them. However, the reason I soon moved mine on was that although its a 30" scale length the lack of a top horn means that the way it hangs on a strap puts the first fret in around the same place it would be on a standard scale bass. Yes the frets are closer together but you still have that stretch to reach the bottom end of the neck as though it's a full sized bass. That defeated the object for me as I wanted the first fret much closer than on a standard scale bass! Something to consider for anyone looking to get one.

Pink patent leather?

Pencil me in although it'd depend on where and when and any other commitments I have, family, band etc.

Anyone else think it looks like a deflated gimp mask?

Congratulations on the new bass, Dave, the VM is certainly a beast. I recently let mine go, it was the earlier Fender body shaped one in natural finish with black hardware. Every bit as stunning an a pleasure to play as yours. The only reason it went was because I've got a damaged nerve in my left wrist that is making 34" scale basses increasingly uncomfortable to play for more than a few minutes so I'm moving exclusively to short scales these days.

In that case you'd better chuck another couple of tots down your neck and decide to buy my Sandberg TT

Cheers for that, I was weighing up my finances with a view to possibly buying it but it sounds like you may have just saved me from a ball ache of a situation,

My copy of the CD arrived yesterday, I gave it a quick listen last night and was thoroughly impressed. Even my good lady liked it and it's not the sort of thing she normally listens to. She commented on your singers voice reminding her a little of Cerys Matthews, must be a Welsh thing

When I pull my finger out, but that usually takes forever when you're as dry and withered as I am!
