I'm getting my used G1 next week, is there a power supply on Amazon or Thomann that is endorsed around here? (EU plug, but a UK one should give me an idea of what to go for).

Has anyone replaced the batteries on the G1 themselves, are there aftermarket ones or I need to order from the US once they fail?

The Donner one is excellent, pairs really quickly, goes weeks between charges. 

How much noise does it make when you change pages? I need it to be fairly quiet.

I’ve only got the studio 10 -I use it as a practice amp just for my den - but it’s got great features and a classic baked in Ashdown sound, which is the sound in my head. I dont think you’d go wrong with that range. 

Is it a good deal for €100 second hand? How do you like it 8 months on?

I'm debating between the Studio 10 vs Markbass 801 vs TC BG250-208 vs Ampeg BA-108 as a living room practice amp that I can take on public transport (so should be portable).

For just a bit of drive I often use the HBE Heamatoma, although I've been using the Earthquaker Devices Plumes quite a bit lately. I also really like the Ashdown NM2, and the Fuzzrocious Oh See Demon and Broke Richard Peanut Gallery.

The EMMA Onomatopoeia is pretty cool too. It's a boost pedal, but you can push it to a nice, slightly overdrive sound.

Can you share your OnoMATOpoeia settings please? I'm having a hard time dialing in a good set of tones.

On the regular Bass Collection models it lists World Musical Instrument Co. Ltd, Korea as the builder 

Also good info! I was responding to the comment about Lakland skylines being made by Cort.

Yeah Lakland and Cort are the factory. Ignore me my bad 😀

They used to be Cort, it's been ESP for a few years.

Which EB strings are those? 

If anyone else is selling a unitune I'd be happy to scoop it up. Thx

Would any of these be long enough for a Lakland 5er with a 35" scale?

Oliver packed the pedal well and shipped it quickly. He communicated promptly and was very helpful. An easy and pleasant transaction. 

I just did the nail polish thing on my jazz basses, it worked great. I used the Top Coat 2 from DM, did a couple of layers and made sure to get the angled part between the top and side of the pole piece. Now there's no sound I accidentally touch the pole pieces.

A beauty! Hopefully the electronics were upgraded cause they weren't great. Also, might want to tie down the battery (if it hasn't been already), and I hope it's intonated right cause I've read its tricky to dial in with that bridge.

Did the fretless neck or the bass sell?

I personally like the gotoh bent plate jazz precision style 

I may change it in the future

Is the the 203b? 

Ah! A nice Hipshot A style copy 🤘

Yeah they're really junky, which is a pity cause the Elwood is such a nice jazz bass. Even a bent plate bridge would've been better.

Kind of a zombie thread, but I'll take it if it's for sale still.

Yeah it's a useless POS, I wrote Adrian about it, and he, in typical frosty manner replied something to the effect of - what do you want, it's a cheap bridge, yeah you have to loosen the strings if you want to intonate. It's an old design, if you want something better go buy it -- brilliant.

Free Bump. Amazing bass, I love it. 

That's terrible, I know the feeling. Will keep an eye out for sure.

Bought a ukulele bass from John, he shipped it super fast and his communication was A+!

The bass was extremely well packaged, and it is just as described! Highly recommended.

Wow, this is a crazy price!

My jazzman sounds better than my SS1 and SS2 to be honest, it's the most versatile bass I own. GLWTS!
