  1. I'd say about 50-50, maybe slightly more bass.
  2. Well, I made it. Disappointingly small, when I think I booked for this two and a half years ago. I'll put a few pix up shortly, then you can decide about tomorrow!
  3. I much prefer this body shape with Alembics - mixing a metaphor, I never could quite get my head round the back end of the body with the more distinctive type.
  4. Definitely! I've had a great deal of fun with it already, using my flyrig through the MB200 for experimenting with its range and tone.
  5. I booked back in the early bird days for a session fronted by Jerry Barnes from Chic - not happening now, so I hope I can use my ticket to get into one of the other sessions.
  6. Yes, I spent a fruitless hour yesterday exploring the website for one. No luck! 😒
  7. I'm going along on Saturday - I shall be well ear-pluggedc against random shredders! I'll report back - maybe even live-blog here!
  8. Machine Gun Kelly? Or the Killers? 😉
  9. Beautiful!
  10. I've never worked out how Adrian can keep producing these lovely basses at such reasonable prices, especially as he's bassed in Germany. Good luck with your sale - I'm sure it won't be here long.
  11. That is either the most gorgeous or most horrible-looking top - I simply cannot decide! GLWTS!
  12. Are you sure? I have that as Magdalen Bridge in Oxford! Please don't send me all over the country out of pure nosiness! Ah, just seen Saltings Roundabout!
  13. ///kick.pelt.stops = (apparently) about a hundred yards offshore at Shoreham by Sea - I hope you're keeping the bass nice and dry!
  14. I remember seeing that and being incredibly impressed at the time.
  15. Of course, this is a lovely bass, but Jeannie's closed down last year, when the owner died. GLWTS anyway!
  16. A phrase my editor taught me when writing TV scripts back in the day - very useful, but no less hurtful to do. GLWTS.
  17. Your upgrades are always incredibly tasteful! GLWTS.
  18. Damn! If this had been around a few weeks ago, I'd have been all over it like a rash. I ended up getting an Ashdown OR-110 for my GK MB200, but this would have been even better. I remember seeing their ads at the back of Bass Player, but they completely slipped my mind when I actually needed one. Good luck with your sale!
  19. 490 already - the power of BC!
  20. All the love on this thread - entirely deserved by @briansbrew and @AndyTravis of course - but for the Bongo? I love them, they have such a rich and distinctive tone. And I'm sad I had to get rid of mine because of back problems and a decision to stick to short scales, but I remember about 18 months ago on this site there was a long thread where everyone was amusing themselves at the idea of "toilet seat" basses. The worm has turned!
  21. I understand your reluctance, but - so far - everything's working well! I doubt whether I'll be that lucky again - but no harm in looking!
