If it's a real Apple product, go on, otherwise buy the real deal or you'll lose your money. 😉

I had the same issue with my Studiologic SL88 GT MK2 MIDI controller keyboard connected to an iPad, it only worked with the official Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter... https://www.apple.com/uk/shop/product/mw5m3zm/a/usb-c-digital-av-multiport-adapter There is the same adapter for Lightning should you need this version.

Wow, I love it, I've just bought their record. Superb Fazioli piano too, certainly my favourite brand, they sound amazing.

As I've owned so many sixers which are my go-to basses, I can maybe help you find the bass you really want/like just as @binky_bass can too. He is on the fretted side when I'm on the fretless side. It's up to you @DiceSociety 😉

If you go for an Eich amp, don't forget to buy the 5 Megaohms input model as it will be way more suited to double bass dedicated pickups.

At the moment, here in the classified are these basses in your price tag, in order of appearance:

There are plenty of excellent sixers in your budget, but you'd better buy a second hand model as you'll get a higher range one for the same price. The Yamaha TRB-6P is certainly a great bass, with piezo pickups, a through neck, ebony fingerboard, 33 7/8 inches scale length, often around 5 kilos and is the basis of the John Patitucci model, so, certainly ticking all the boxes and was also used by Abraham Laboriel as a fiver.

What about my BassLab L-Bow V?

Buy a Sean Hurley Custom Shop Fender Precision Bass... 🤔🤪😉

Lemmy's unique tone, dating back to the 70's, but so representative of the 80's hard rock scene.

Chainsaw Hara-Kiri? Quite rare these days...

Superb fretless Zon! 😍

As Gibson lost a lot of money in the Tobias case, they certainly won't put the brand name to the highest level, but entry level as some kind of revenge. Furthermore, the original Growler isn't a Mike Tobias design at all as it was a fully Gibson designed instrument, but it was a good attempt to make a versatile quality bass (I owned a brand new one when they reached Europe). I would buy the second hand model found by @Nos and proposed here at a fairly decent price instead of the newer model: https://www.soundpad.co.uk/pre-owned/guitars/bass-guitars/tobias-growler-gr4

I had exactly the same thought... 🤔 🤦🏻

I have these case stands: https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_casestand.htm

And great storing place, near the door, so the thieves won't look for them too long... 🤦🏻🤔😉

Listened to Standards yesterday for the first time, a great record with an extraordinary Patrice Rushen on piano: I didn't know she was such a talented player. Salt Peanuts took me a while to recognise, but I ended up loving it and their very Latin cover of Take Five is amazing. What gifted musicians the three of them are.

By the way, did Ray Russell understand the joke about the English accents and especially the one on/in EastEnders, because his personal one is just as awful?!? 🤦🏻

It was so obvious that I think we all forgot that one... Thanks for the reminder. 👍🏻👌🏻

My question might sound weird, but is the main portion of the cake going to Adam Clayton? Or is it a full charity sale?

Beware that the album called The Stanley Clarke Band (on the right) is often referred on the Internet as him playing acoustic double bass, but he's only playing electric bass on this one. The only one where he's playing acoustic double bass is Jazz in the Garden (on the left). That said both albums are worth listening to.
