    The DB750 has tubes (3 in the pre) but the Hellborg doesn’t have any. Weirdly, the Hellborg power amp weighs almost exactly the same as. DB750 on its own - nuts!

    Agi DB750 and Warwick Hellborg. Though heavier than many valve amps

    Clarky - definitely one of the coolest (if not the coolest) Alembic I've seen

    Superb valve pre - indeed, my favourite (I prefer these to Noble, and I really like the latter!) That said, unlike most players (I think) I discovered that I prefer SS pres. Still miss my 680 in some ways - just such a cool industrial aesthetic

    Mine was an unusual hybrid - P body with twin humbuckers (I don't want to derail the thread with an image but this probably only serves as testament to the quality of Chris' work) and bump for this staggering Charcoal Frost! E725A856-AE7E-4A12-8D7B-13BEA6E1AC94.heic

    It's in Scotland at the moment (with my brother) but as soon as we're allowed to congregate, you'd be very welcome indeed - it's been far too long. Winter in the pennine foothills is such a lovely time... (as you'll know!)

    Me too on this - such a classy look (and the headstock facing looks gorgeous!)

    Ah, Chris's signature dense foam trick with the Hiscox case - something I've emulated recently. What a staggering bass. I recently had a custom hybrid P from Chris - a 2018 model. Outstanding in every way and gloriously executed - the attention to detail was world class. This J looks just the same and a gorgeous finish. For me, Overwaters are up there with the very best of British luthiery. Sad to hear of the retirement though - I hope that you'll return one day!

    wow, stunner - I think we need a lot more images of this. Absolutely love it - very cool indeed! If you need a new logo for the bridge pickup cover, I may be able to help out!

    Hahaha, sorry Mike - I did mean short-scale (it had been a long week!) but I’m sure you’re being far too modest!

    Just received a beautiful fretless from Mike - perfectly packed and exactly as described - mint. It's also a lovely player with a gorgeous, surprisingly versatile tonal palette (especially for a singly pickup, passive bass). Communications throughout were perfect and it was great to chat with one of Basschat's most avid fretless players. Deal in confidence, a star in Basschat's firmament

    Sorry to hear this Steve - I had a real concern this would happen but still very interested to hear what you think when this eventually arrives

    I’m not a valve user at all, though great to see such a lovely boutique UK product - elegant simplicity

    Me too! I might do even now. It looks like its pictured in a storage facility. Unfortunately, that's what I'd need to do with it too. Probably not a great idea but I'd love this and what a bargain (IMO, of course)

    You’re always very welcome. Beautiful bass with some serious provenance and history. Gorgeous burst too (and those Status J necks are out if this world!)

    An exceptionally cool bass - I like this a lot and the 2TS really suits the body shape in my view

    Lovely basses, impressive woodworking, fit and finish. They actually do a pretty good impression of classic Alembic tones. This looks to be in good condition for its age - pretty rare too

    ooh, lovely - one of the nicer Limelights I've seen (I used to have a gorgeous olympic white with similar heavy reliving and a lovely Spitfire plate - fabulous instruments!
  20. three
    Absolutely beautiful - gorgeous timbers and Jon's work is up there with the very best. Is this 34" - the bass looks reasonably compact/short in the picture of the rear?

    Best of the class Ds for me - extremely versatile with bags of smooth responsive power. Only sold mine through lack of use and missing it now

    Fabulous, versatile amp and utter bargain! Sorted for amps otherwise I’d be straight in
  24. three
    superb cabs - I have the 210 version and it's remarkable - loud, versatile, responsive and controlled. Works really well with a variety of amps too from valve to class A/B SS. A significant bargain IMO

    Given your budget, it's worth thinking about buying one of the many very reasonably priced variants of the P that appear in the ads on Basschat. That way, if you don't like it, the band don't like it, things don't work out etc., you can sell it again with very little risk of losing much money. Think of it as chance to try a P and to rent one for a very minimal charge! And it's all good fun Here's a couple just from page one of the Basses for Sale section:
