I would also love to see them live. I am writing here in the hope that next time they spin by someone will comment here and I will see it in time to get tickets.

Cool, I have an original US synth. Extra resale! Who knew?

I bought a Sub Phatty on a whim. It is proper lush!

Practice with the bow is never wasted. Intonation can be lax with pizz and you can get away with the odd interesting pitch. The bow does not lie.

Thanks Jerry. That looks very interesting indeed!

Back plate = 3D printing project?

He installed a full set of MM Bongo electrics into my MM USA Sub 5. I am now flogging that bass, so not happily ever after. But this is no reflection on Mr Manton's work (which was exemplary). It is just a reflection on the fact that I have way too many basses.

You chose wisely.

It is just as well that I no longer have a spare 5 string neck. I do not think I could stop myself. Those are lush.

I had a body built and specced black walnut. It turns out that black walnut and walnut are not the same thing. The bass is lovely, but it was an expensive lesson.

Same

Any further thoughts from anyone? @KiOgon?
