Funny old game this bass malarkey. I played the Acinonyx exclusively up until early last week when I put it back into the rack and picked up one of my @Jabba_the_gut built basses and wondered why I play anything else. I stick by everything I said about the Acinonyx, it is a superb bass, but it is a distraction from my Jabba basses which are absolutely suited to the music I play. I'm going to spend a lot of time over the next six weeks trying out the HX Stomp vs a Grace Design Alix in a rehearsal setting to really see which suits best and, of course, I'll be using the Jabba basses because they are so suited to our music. I'm kind of saying all this because, yes, I'm selling the Acinonyx tomorrow but, and I realise this sounds odd, the Acinonyx is so good it's actually distraction from the perfect basses (thanks Jabba) for me and my music. </end self-analysis>

Don't listen to them @tauzero, I think it looks very nice.

Kliq Aircell for me...

Lots, but none better.

I know it's a bit of a long shot but might it be a Shergold Modulator?

You are lucky enough to be just over an hour's drive from the finest luthier and guitar tech in the county, I drive three times that distance to get my guitars and basses set up by him, many people travel further, both nationally and internationally. Guitar Technical Services

I used to get mine from Amazon but it seems like eBay is the only option at the moment. It's around a tenner but it'll last you years, a little goes a long way.

I may well have posted this before but it's a banger from the very odd African Head Charge. Quite difficult to put into a reggae (or any other) category so to speak, but that's a good thing right?

I use a QSC K12.2, can't fault it. They don't seem to come up S/H very often. Superb bit of kit, I use it in exactly the manner you want to.

Cracking gig the CND rally.

Oddly enough, exactly the same line up you saw then, back to the original members.

But we'll be done by 5?

All answers are helpful! Now I know the Acinonyx has a bridge problem! Are the bridges produced by Hipshot?

I'm afraid I am one of the people who was very quickly kicked off TB for questioning the orthodoxy. My bridge question was about if it was possible to get a black bridge.

Well, I have made three queries on the Nordstrand website, one about the bridge on the original and two about the fretless V2, the first of these was weeks ago, perhaps they don't want my money?
