Late to the party but yes, this is excellent. A really strong original design. I like!

Just bought a mono strap from @guyl - excellent transaction, thanks!

Oh, and I carried Val Doonican’s rocking chair into a venue I worked at.
Same venue had Ray Davies (prickly); Geno Washington (stoned, sooooo cool); John Martyn (somehow, I wasn’t there for that gig - IDIOT); Paul Jones from Manfred/Blues Band). Probs loads more I’ve forgotten.

I sold a bass to Neil Murray, Whitesnake and bass for We Will Rock You for many many years. Lovely chat and a cup of tea in a Little Thief out Peterborough way. Top, top bloke. I grilled him mercilessly about the bits of Deacon’s lines that I couldn’t quite cop!

Great amps! My home amp… I’ve gigged it and it kept up with our monster drummer in a small room.

Yeah the Schallers are ok but Dunlops are better in my experience.
Great review: the non multi version is in my future for sure. Not averse to multi scale but I know the pickup angle and my thumb wouldn’t get on.
You couldn’t be more correct about the the Nordies unless you were Carey Nordstrand 😀 Had some Big Singles on an SR a while back. Everything a bass pickup should be. Will I sound like Jameson? Defo no. Fine by me.
Ibby 5s (apart from the BTB) are about the skinniest necks and string spacing you’ll find I reckon. I love Ibanez necks in all forms, they are GREAT at necks.
Headstocks are a PITA for the pub gigs I play (mostly tiny) so headless appeals, and approaching 50 means I need to go lighter weight too.I hope you enjoy the bass… let us know how it performs live!

Well, there’s good timing. Mine’s on its last legs… PM’d!

I’ve got some Earpeace generic plugs: they’re ok. But really, don’t skimp, go custom moulded. I’ve got some old ACS plugs. (I think 27dB) and they’re ace. Must get new moulds / plugs though. Hint: always get your ears syringed and excess internal hair removed first 🤢 It’s STAGGERING the amount of hair in there from a) being old and male and b) haircuts! I might start wearing them when getting the barnet trimmed! 😀

Oh man that’s lovely, and looks in great condition! I’m dimly aware that there are “not GK” bass amps in existence, but why would you when you can GK is my view 😀

Another Sunday afternoon/early evening gig for 4 Play at Riverside, Sutton Bridge. The glamour of it all!
Went well. Turned up to see the guitarist heading home to get his pedalboard. One hour round trip 😝 Meant the PA and back line got setup properly though 😃
Played well: singer was driving so not on the usual barrage of rum and coke, which made a real difference. Good feedback, booked again for later in the year. Home by 20:30!!

That’s some hot board action right there. Splendid choices!

Last minute booking for 4 Play 😒 at Edward’s Bar in Grantham. 4:30 start, home by 9… great! 45 min drive each way. A little grim on the drive home coz of the weather. Played well enough, good feedback, decent pay and we played all bar one of the requests that came in. Another Sunday afternoon gig next weekend. I LIKE Sunday afternoon gigs!

I’m also intrigued by the Drop. One band is standard, the other is dropped half a tone. I have two basses. If I’d have been told (or asked, to be fair) earlier than “two days before the audition” I’d have learnt the songs down a fret coz I play 5 string 😂
So does it really track well enough to drop EVERYTHING you play to the set amount and still sound like your bass?

Agreed. Excellent design.
I want one. Absolutely no need whatsoever but yeah that’s had some thinking time behind it for sure.

M-Vave is great. So many things you can do with it for so little money.

That’s a good idea - wish that had been around a year or so ago when I got my first board - would have been a lot cheaper than the Cioks and Voodoo lab dingbat combo I ended up with.
mind you the after looking at them I am reminded that the smallish size of my board is a helpful guard from buying too many pedals
Mods - isn’t the phrase “the smallish size of my board is a helpful guard from buying too many pedals” an instant ban?!
