Just for the record, I bought something like 30 years ago a quite heavy Revox reel tape recorder that arrived completely destroyed as it was simply put in the thinnest cardboard ever... I never got any refund.

Your intonation is more than correct Chris, no big out of tune notes at all, just always a bit too sharp, but don't worry it doesn't destroy the music at all. I've heard way more out of tune notes by professional renowned classical violinists or cellists, but beware of the lines as you'll start playing out of tune for sure if you rely on them (your always a bit too sharp intonation is certainly because of that). That said you can use a slight bit of chorus if you're not 100% confident with your intonation, it will level things up. Concerning the ebony fingerboard, it will take years and years of heavy playing to mark it to a no return point, but a levelling will sort it. And raise that E string a bit, it will breathe even more. 😉

Indeed @BigRedX, but that's exactly how music has always been composed, "stealing" parts from the others, but now with AI you don't have to learn music, just ask and use what seems interesting to you. Plagiarism is still not really legal.

If you use AI like you would use a dictionary or a grammar, there's no harm as it's considered like usual help, but if you use AI to fully generate a tune, it's, of course, legally, not possible to copyright it as it's not your work. There lies the difference.

After searching as the push button for the wires were looking familiar, I found that the HH 1500 is really similar except that their heatsinks were black painted, but maybe it's another series.

Sure about that? Just spend ... A Night in Langney.

Calling @Bill Fitzmaurice.

The one I recommended above can be used with 2 wires, the third being for the speed regulation. Furthermost if you use the special cable to further reduce the speed it will be a two wires out. 😉 I've put these Noctua fans in almost all amps I've owned, and it means a lot of amps.

We are you based @Aygotaygo as there should be someone around willing to help you or fix it for you?

Like @jazzyvee and @Aidan63 said, but don't attempt to do it yourself if you don't know what you're doing. A luthier will ask you first if you've done any attempt in repairing it, and if yes, won't do the job, because glue can't be glued again if you don't remove completely the residues and it's a huge time consuming work... It's a fast and easy job to do and without any lacquering afterwards if it's still clean, so won't be expensive at all. After that, it will never break again at the glue point.

At the back.

It's the previous page, Anti... Do you think people bother to read anything than the title and sometimes what the OP has written first before answering?

Some fuse holders, especially the ones integrated in the power socket, have a place for a spare fuse, did you check that? That said, you should always have some spare fuses at hand. If it's only a blown fuse, it will be the more expensive one. 😉 As @Stub Mandrel said, inrush current or a huge surge can blow a fuse instantly...

And a way higher nut alongside a full length string retainer as he was playing with a bottleneck all the time (as mentioned earlier). Saw Morphine with Moondog Jr opening, with the two bands playing together a full encore: one of the best "rock" concerts I've ever attended. Mark Sandman was really gifted.

I think that the problem is not AI generated music as it can and must be considered music if it really is. The problem is the copyright of that music, because some lazy sods will pretend they own it, but this copyright is the property of AI as it's like ordering a concerto to a composer who will own the copyright of what's been ordered. To date, there's no law about this, but it's about time to legislate for all AI generated art.

Xotic are really excellent basses and having the possibility to try 4 fivers at the same place is a great bonus! Glad you found the one suiting your needs.

It's alive!

In this case, a Warwick Gnome i Pro V2 would be better as it's even a tad cheaper and more powerful.

Just in case the amp starts working again use the below mentioned Noctua fan with their tension adapter from 24 to 12 Volts. These are the most silent fan you'll find. https://noctua.at/en/na-vc1 https://noctua.at/en/nf-a6x15-flx Everything is available from Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Noctua-NA-VC1-Step-down-Converter-Applications/dp/B0C6TQCQP7/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Noctua-NF-A6x15-FLX-Premium-60x15mm/dp/B0DJMHV4RP/

That said, I think that Green Day would have managed it with some white powder as it's a great pain killer, but maybe it's not a good idea... 😉🤔🤪

This, absolutely!

If fan noise is an issue, then buy a GR Bass One 800 as the there's a defeat function (studio mode) and the fan will only work if needed, which means after 2 or 3 hours... Price tag is higher, but it's a terrific amp: https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/grbass-one-800/ The lower wattage versions don't have this capability.

Totally agree with @Lozz196, but if you decide to go the MarkBass road, take the 58R series as everything, but the Speakon out and Power in, is on the front, which is very handy if not clever, and they are made in Italy again. I had this with a dedicated 58R cabinet and the tone was a pure delight: https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/markbass-little-mark-58r/ And the fan is quiet as I just saw your other post...

Simply because there are active basses (with higher output level and low impedance) and passive basses (with lower output and high impedance), and these two inputs are better adapted to each of them electronically speaking.
