    Blimey, that's drop-dead gorgeous and unbelievable value for the money!

    In a word, no ☹️. As supplied, the large-diameter buttons are fixed to the wooden body core using long chunky wood screws. The 2 screws are of unequal length (one very long, one even longer) with oversize heads that are too big for a standard strap button. I had to think long and hard before daring to remove just the shorter screw in case I couldn't get it re-aligned with the hole drilled in the body afterwards. I managed to do it but had to be really careful. IMHO if you unscrewed both, the ABS outer frame could move relative to the wooden core. If it did, you could be in trouble without an assembly jig of the type the manufacturers must use to get everything aligned.

    Last time I looked I think they had all the cheaper range but only a limited choice of the more expensive Artist version.

    I've now discovered the Retrovibe website and the Strat would be my preference too.

    John just bought a Barefaced SC3 from me. Cab for cash swap at Exeter Services - fastest transaction ever! Nice guy, great comm's, arrived bang on time. Deal with confidence!

    Now on hold pending usual.

    Marcell just bought my wonderful Eden WT-550 Traveler. Couldn't have gone to a nicer guy. All good, deal with confidence!

    These cab's looked and sounded great at the Bash shoot-out. Stevie's done a great job on the design as has LukeFRC for making them look like a top-quality product.

    Great condition with cover. Price doesn't include delivery but happy to meet-up with buyer anywhere within an hour's drive from Taunton (I'm 10 min's away from J25 M5). Used as one of a pair with an HPF-equipped 800W amp running clean, so never driven too hard. Nice and fresh-looking. Pic's to follow but there's really nothing to show except what you'd want to see 🙂

    Ha-ha! As the saying goes: 'Tell 'em, tell 'em you've told 'em - then tell 'em again!' As an owner of the active Artist version, I totally agree provided you're not bothered that it doesn't LOOK like a J bass (or any other bass). The OE Aguilar classic '70s retro jazz pickups are killer.

    Isn't that the Japanese model?
  14. scrumpymike
    Agreed! Very tastefully done.

    Just checked all pic's and haven't got one. It belongs to JohnDaBass and I'm sure he'll post a pic on here if we ask nicely - I've pinged him a PM.

    S-s Maruszczyk or Sandberg.
  17. scrumpymike
    More pic's!

    I've said how much I enjoyed the cab shoot-out and the LFSys cabs - but very remiss of me not to have thanked the people who made it happen: so thanks to Phil and Stevie. For me, the VERY BEST thing of all is that I didn't need to lift a finger to make it happen 😊
  19. scrumpymike
    OK guys, couldn't resist a slide show of Janey's 246 pic's - here's a few before bedtime!
  20. scrumpymike
    Thanks Smanth, so very pleased you were able to come along.
  21. scrumpymike
    Oops! Two more highlights I missed: listening to Dave 'Revving' the DB, and talking to Knighty about the classic motorbikes he and his dad own - but that's a whole other story ☺️

    Just gathered ourselves up off the sofa and jumped (OK, crawled!!) onto the Bash topic. Thanks for your kind words. We had an absolute blast as always. They're always really enjoyable but on a subjective level this Bash was the best so far. Brilliant to see the regulars back plus some new faces and the usual array of superb gear. My highlights were playing Stewie's Reverends (tempted), Keith's Acinonyx, the cab shoot-out, learning from Stevie that my choice of 'best shoot-out cab' was actually the cheaper one he makes 🙂 - and seeing PeaTurgh draw the raffle ticket that won his son a bass 👏. Mrs. Scrumpy (aka Gabrielle) wants you to know that she is so grateful for the appreciative comments received both at the hall and on here. Back to the sofa - we feel we've earned it. Janey's pics will follow tomorrow.

    Just a quick shout-out to Stevie and Phil. The stage area is yours to share so feel free to decide between you how you want to set your stuff up and just go for it when you get there.

    Actually, the more I think about this, the more I like the idea... so let's pretend the start time is 9am 🙂 Seriously though, many hands make light work, so any early arrivals will be very welcome. Hey Frank, if we play our cards right, we'll be the ones sat with our feet up enjoying breakfast and a natter 😉

    And the prize goes to Woody for correctly answering that proceedings start at 10am. Mind you, we'll be there from around 8.30 and the doors will be open, but beware! If you come in early, you'll be helping us set up. Mind you, you will also get your breakfast 😋
