ALiExpress gear has been left wanting when it comes to actives. What's in this bass?

I don't do Insta or FB, so I miss these things., sadly. Still, nice to see them on here, and to witness Ben's willingness to reissue older models.

Niiice.

JH defiantly said RIC would never reissue the 4002, so if the 4005 is coming out, what chance the 4002?

Excellent site! Thx for the link.

Tonewood, you mean??😆

Ah, right! Ok.

I thought the filter circuit was most of the Wal tone?

Nah, they're SChallers. I'd still keep them.

Bridge. I've tried the Hipshot; didn't like it. I have the Allparts on a Greco copy and it's never moved in years. Scratchplate. Try Rickysounds in UK. Tuners. I would not swap out the wavy Grovers, if that's what you have.

Dreadful amp. Blew one these up in a rehearsal studio

That's camera tape/white gaffer tape that's holding them together. And that P-bass control......is this something by He Who Shall Not Be Named?

Back in the mid Noughties, I brokered a sale of sale of a Mk1 Custom that belonged to a musician acquaintance to a guy in Amsterdam. The price? £2200. I took the bass to Amsterdam and the guy couldn't believe his luck in getting a pristine model, with original case. The musician couldn't believe getting £2k for it, given that he'd bought it for £500 back in the late '80s.

Bass Pic attached for non-FBers.

Just seen the thread on TB.....

Have some fun guessing these. I only got two right; The Hofner and the Fender Musicmaster. No cheating! Blindfold test.

The headcheese one?

I recall one about them squeezing a tube of Wasabi into a bowl and telling JN it was guacamole.

Just hearing this now. Sad loss.

Indeed. Wonder if it's the same seller?

AH, yes, of course.

I had the Vintage 'Jaco' Jazz. It was a POS. Awful body finish and horrendous neck-dive. A weak-sounding instrument.

I've heard some courier firms have trackers on their vehicles. I cannot remember which ones, though, and if actually true.

A Korg M1!! Legendary keyboard.
