Then let them develop their own cosmetics and feature sets rather than copy somebody else’s.

 

When I was in school taking exams, I wasn’t allow to copy somebody else’s work. That was called cheating or plagiarism. 

Would have to check ongoing IP law as I think when a product becomes discontinued then deleted, the IP goes with it so, then becomes available for use by anyone. Will check though.

Update: lots of articles out there re IP, Patents and Copyright. Seems IP only lasts for 20 years and as said above, if a product is discontinued the IP is removed with it and can be sold on or becomes available to the public domain. Although cannot get a definitive page, most come to a consensus. Found this link interesting: https://midimagic.sgc-hosting.com/copyrong.htm

Well anyone who calls their product 'bugera veyron' doesn’t lose sleep over ripping things off.

 

For all intents and purposes, it certainly does look like a GB on the outside but, it is what it does after that that impresses me no end. It is an incredible amp in its own right and does everything I need it to do and then some. I'm sure GB would have their lawyers all over it if it contravened their patents inside although, I'd have thought they would be on it already for the looks alone. 

Folks, dare any of you who haven't tried a BV T or M to give it a go and then tell me you don't like it!

Very interesting bass. As said above, would be good to see neck heel and pocket, and the pick guard off. It shares some similarities with a Fender MIJ 51 precision and Squier VM Telebass. Clear to see the string through ferrules were an afterthought. What is the finish like on the neck, is it glossy, matt or satin? If it were an MIJ, it would have ‘Crafted in Japan’ written on the back of the neck just above where it joins the pocket. Do you know who the pickup manufacturer is?

Cheers, Andy

My name is Mike and I have been tort and burst Precision free for 34 years and two months, ever since I discovered Warwick.

Token coming your way 👍
 

I’ve just discovered Spector, Bugera and Hartke.

Yep, my name is Lozz and I have a ‘burst/rosewood/tort Precision.

Ok if we are doing this …

I’m Andy, I have a black, black & maple US precision and I need an SVT classic plus fridge! 

I own the following bass amps:

• Ampeg PF50T
• Ampeg SVT-3Pro
• TC BH250
• TC Bam
• Joyo Badass
• Hotone Thunder Bass
• Bugera BV1001T

They all do a job that works for me in various scenarios. However, having previously owned an Ampeg SVT Classic, this would be my first choice of amp if I could carry it! Love all valve power and tone and that would always be my preference but the PF50T and 3Pro are both good compromises. But, the Bugera of which, I stressed about buying - just because (you know what I mean!) - has turned out to be the wild card from bass player's Valhalla! I adore it! It is light, powerful, lots of tone options, has a three valve pre amp section that mirrors the Ampeg SVT 3Pro (for me) and just sounds fantastic for an amp I paid £229 for! It has impressed me so much that it is my go to amp for both rehearsals and gigs.

I have the Bugera Veyron, which is probably the cheapest 'powerful' class D on the market. 

 

Press the low boost, and high boost buttons, dial in a little bit of the built in compressor, get the mids where you want them, leave everything else around 12 o'clock, and the thing sounds absolutely sublime! 

I have the tube version, it is now my go to amp for practice and gigs. They are indeed sublime even monstrous in volume and tone.

Loving it! Keep posting the image updates  please

Those look cool but your cherry burst one is lush 👍

Geez, I just quickly looked over it and thought it was ok. Didn’t notice that much damage and those photos are quite damning. You always have the option to send it back under their warranty guarantee. Saying that though, a restored natural bex would look amazing.

There's a large parcel waiting at home for me apparently. 😁

Hope it is everything you expected.  

Lot of bass right there. 

GLWTS, Andy

Made in Japan or Taiwan in October 96, brilliant basses, made to a very high standard. 

There is a BEX page on Facebook that may be of help but if all else fails, 3d print it 👍

The deed is done.

It's been in the back of my mind to get a blue one for a while and at that price, we'll it would be rude not to. Comes with a hardcase too.

They put it on the website for me so I could get it delivered. 

Didn't want to say just now in case someone else bought it. 

😎👍

That is fantastic mate  so pleased for you and very well done.

I might give them a call when they open and see what my options are. 

 

Did it look in reasonable condition? 

Needs new strings and a clean up but aside from this, it’s in pretty good nick.

Pants! 

I'd definitely have that if I wasn't in Cornwall. 

Even more annoyingly my daughter flew up to Edinburgh for a concert last weekend. 

😕

You could call and ask for a stock transfer and they do post. 

Hey folks,  was in my local cash converters today on Leith Walk in Edinburgh. Sitting in the shop is a Yamaha BEX-4 in blue, cost £219.99. That is very cheap for a bass this rare so, thought I'd give someone the opportunity to snap it up.

Steal for an all valve amp at that price! 
 

Good luck, Andy

That's a lot of bass for sweeties! 

Best of luck with your sale, Andy.

Just bought a pristine Spector from George and absolutely delighted with it. Great meeting with you yesterday George and thanks very much for your patience in the eventual conclusion of this superb deal. Top man 🤘😎👍

Not for long 👍

I need to go for dual nationality because my father was Polish and that would get me back into the EU.

This is soo cheap for a US Fender 🤭

Good luck with the sale mate, it’s a beaut 👍

My wee practice rig.
