Saying it's a good buy?

Looks like a good buy for a 5-banger chickenbacker. Good on the previous owner for sanding off the counterfeit Rickenbacker logo. (If you want to put a Rickenbacker logo on your own, then it's yours to do that; some people like vanity plates on cars and fake boobs & botox.)

This is a sound from my Markbass SS which I posted in another thread.

It's not a 70s one - wrong bridge and lots of other things. I bought some Havaianas yesterday; they need a bit of wearing in.

I've had two previously and now have two more I'm restoring. I like them as a bit of fun. I'm thinking of putting a Kahler trem on one.

It very much depends upon the particular one; the better 70s/80s Japanese ones can be up to £500-600, with lower prices dependent upon brand, model, condition, etc. IMHO, the current Chickenbackers are a pile of toot. The main thing for me is that they are a bit of fun and not to get one thinking it's going to be better than a real Ric.

Maybe get another head for the 2nd cab.

I've got a BLX whose amp is a bit shonky, so I use it as a cab with a shelf in it.

A flush fitting...

Well, you could use them, but one would get more power than the other.

Well, the smallest cab is the 4x5 Brightbox unit. 🙂 On a more practical front, I've got a 2x10, which is pretty standard; it is heavy, though!

Hmmm - the last thing I need is another project on the go. I'm already working on a "re-styled" Vox bass.

I think so too, it's more of a comment about the practicalities of pushing things that far vs. a criticism of the chap playing it!

Here's another which shows its capabilities. There's a few fluffs in there, so it might be a step too far! 🙂

The 12-step's buttons can be programmed. This is from their site.

You're 'avin a giraffe!

It's a tech company. (And yes, there's a slide and ping pong tables!)

It turns out that the friendly face and "do your thing" approach is a facade; I had a bit of a frank meeting on Friday and am now wondering if going there was a mistake.

Some folks shoot nerf guns at each other most of the day and someone else was playing with toy drones today.

Well, a couple of the folks at work got of a stressful phone call (due to an issue not of our doing). A colleague keeps a guitar in the office, so I wandered over, tuned it to DADGAD and started playing Kashmir. One of the people said oh yes, it reminded him of Godzilla and the other started singing along and doing the drumming. De-stressed, nice!!!

I agree - it makes it seem unsuitable.

There is an optional USB-MIDI add-on for the 12-step.

I suppose at least it hasn't had a Fender logo put on it.

I saw a JV bass for £950 on the weekend - apparently they're much sought after. To me, they're a Squier.
