He was doing selfies with folks at the LBGS a couple of years back, rather then just getting through them, he seemed to spend a good amount of time chatting with them too. His clinic session was lovely, an man of massive experience sharing those experiences and the stories that went with them, like a kindly grandad chatting with the kids. Top, top fella with an unsurpassed CV.

Photos when it arrives or it never happened 😂

Yamaha BB300 in 💩 brown. Swapped it with a friend for his Westone Thunder 3.

With the growing reputation of Sire, the new Metro Express is going to struggle I reckon. If Sire would sort out that overly, IMO, complicated control plate and put some better looking knobs on it too, it could be curtains for the ME line.

Yes, that’s the correct price. Lots of coverage in this thread

Welcome, you’re amongst friends here, we’re all addicted to bass (and the acquisition of gear).

The Sad knobs look classier. £1k classier? Sad Knobs - new band name.

Those ‘scratches’ are nothing compared to the pics supplied by Andertons; result!

Sahweet! How are those scratches BTW?

No, clean as whistle (to my impaired hearing). I tried using the supplied 4 pole cable to see if it would record onto my Mac version of Garageband - it would not. Time to reload said software onto the iPad again.

Arrived today and I'm well impressed. This may see my PJ Cub up for sale.

Yes, do tell @M@23.

Yamaha made it into the mix I see. I've always said that they don't make a bad instrument no matter what the price point or instrument. My very first bass was a Yammy BB300 and when I returned to the bass after a while away, Yamaha was my first purchase again, an RBX of some number or other.

Now that’s just teasing.

YT is Google IIRC, Instagram is FB.

This is the stuff you want... Takes your head off neat.

There’s a G&L SB2 for sale in our own pages at the moment

When playing guitar, I used to (and still do) gravitate to heavier picks, sometimes up to 2mm. When I initially used picks on bass, I just used these as I was a firm believer in the “thicker the pick, the better the tone” school of thinking. However, after seeing a clinic by Bobby Vega and discovering that he uses a .73mm upside down, I thought I’d give them a go in that manner; game changer. I now use these (or sometimes marginally thicker) all the time and hold them a la Bobby, the “wrong” way up. Buy a mixed pack of different gauges and find what feels and sounds best for you, would be my advice (which you know anyway).

My update for dispatch from FedEx was 04/08/2020, I nearly threw a fit, then realised that FedEx are so tinpot that they can’t get the right date format for UK deliveries

Squier CV Precision all the way given your chosen genres. It will hold its value better than some, given it’s from the Fender stable and upgrading the hardware (should you choose to) is simple as the majority of the upgrade market is aimed at budget Fender basses.

Likewise.

Still good VFM as you rightly point out.

Only if you want a 5cm, white one.
