    I should think devising that design was pretty difficult too. I don’t want to be rude and each to his own, but that’s probably the ugliest bass I’ve ever seen.

    Reduced from $10k+ to $100 - yeah sure. I smell a scam.

    I think it’s interesting that despite the world and it’s sound engineer going on about the P having the pickup in the perfect sweet spot, the world’s most recorded bass has the pickup moved forward closer to the neck.

    After 20 years of playing 5 strings I seem to have graduated back to 4 strings, partly driven by my acquisition of a NS EUB .

    Just at present there is nothing I want or need. If there was I’d have to sell one, one in one out.

    I had one way back but think it has Roadster on the headstock. Anyone know what the difference was, sure looked the same. It was quite lightweight but had a great sound. When I stripped the paint off to turn it into a natural finish it turned out to be a laminated body. There a great P. Bass substitute.

    The tailpiece looks like the one on the 12 string George Harrison had before the R tailpiece was introduced. An R type would have been more attractive. I didn’t realise it had come out a while ago, I must have missed that memo 🤔🤣.

    Now this is a semi I wouldn’t mind, just don’t have a spare £5499 handy. But I bet someone has.

    I am a boomer and I’ve owned 2 vintage basses. I traded both for something else which was not vintage and I have no gas for anything vintage. I want playable reliable and affordable. I do not want to be worrying about losing my priceless bit of kit.

    Just to say the Behringer does the trick perfectly. Signal much enhanced and I think the tone is improved too. Thanks for the tip @Jean-Luc Pickguard I got it at a cracking price from Gear4music.

    Gibson EB has 2 good humbucker/MM style pickups and does growl. There is also a pull pot on the volumes that converts the PUs to single coil which sound like a jazz. Probably the cheapest US made bass you can buy.

    I used to play tenor using Irish tuning ( like a mandolin). Think of it as a backward guitar, you can literally reverse chords. Friends play with Chicago tuning and therefore use the “top half” of chords. Many of those turn out as 1 finger shapes so couldn’t be easier and you can buy suitable strings.

    I think I’ll just have the guy’s suit, so cool.

    I’ve bought the Behringer AD21, it arrived today but haven’t tried it out yet. I will report on performance in due course.
