out of interest I looked at Thomann's site. It looks to be an American Ash body and maple neck, all good wood....if its actually USA Swamp Ash you may find the body' sound' is a bit 'lighter' than other woods like Alder or European ash.

I had a pair of these Delano’s made for a new bass with both the same width as the bridge pickup. They also have raised pole pieces under the A and D strings for cambered string placement. They are used, maybe 10/12 gigs but as new. I’ve decided to go back to the HE model that I’ve used for many years on my other basses. The price includes standard U.K. postage..

Why are venue house bass amps always such utter sh#te?
mybass replied to Paddy Morris's topic in Amps and Cabs
Same situation for me at a west London festival outdoors …. (Ashdown) amp and speaker provided, first song the amp stopped working, this against the sound engineer saying it was working fine….thankful I had taken my Markbass amp along. -
Markbass CMD121P is quieter than it was
mybass replied to John Hufton's topic in Repairs and Technical
I will always add if you haven’t done this already ….. try different cables, both guitar and speaker ones. Even one strand of a cable’s wire earthing out can be a problem. -
As far as I am aware battery power does not switch on (bringing power to the onboard 'active' tone controls) until a guitar lead is inserted into the bass's jack socket, completing the 'active' circuit within the bass. The bass should still work as a 'passive' instrument when batteries are flat or not connected.

A two piece Swamp Ash body from a really nice straight grain length. This is one of two I shaped a while back but don’t think I’ll get around to working on both for a while. Another fretted bass I’ve made from the same wood stock sounds really good and sustains very well. £75 plus U.K. post The pictures also show the weight/dimensions and a mock up of a neck (not mine!) to give some representation of a final look.

Yamaha SLB300 Silent Bass - reserved - *SOLD*
mybass replied to Adememoire's topic in EUBs & Double Basses For Sale
‘Dents’ in unpainted or varnished wood can sometimes be cured with a small square of a damp cloth left in place over damaged areas for a short time, enough for the dampness to sort of leech into the area and just enough to cover over the damage. This can help swell the wood back into shape but, it looks like your damage could be too severe, possibly actual wood pieces have been knocked out…. -
What’s with that Bacci bass 🥴

…….to add to my previous post. 1: I’ve also had the reply “ we won’t insure you as you might be driving Boy George home and have an accident etc etc! 2: The company used by me via the Musicians Union many years ago was a broker in North London. I discovered they weren’t getting the best price, costing me well over £100 more per year. My wife was a teacher and Aviva had links with her Teachers Union so we moved to Aviva putting her car as the main one but I’m thinking it may have been easier to insure with them as a musician because I was the second car on the policy. As I now use her car for ULEZ zone gigs, I’ve updated our Aviva policy to include her car for business.

Aviva, both cars registered for business, the second car only cost an approx extra £12 for business…..actual cost will depend on what car, your age, normal use for etc…I recently read of someone who was given a fine for driving without insurance cover for use as business, best to cover all possible types of car usage insurance.
