Just make sure no monies are owed, either way... or kit loaned, ìn or out.

Ahem... How about a Behringer BDI21 for £15 UK Posted? Cheap bit of Backup Insurance

Zoom B1on Marshall Super Bass Amp and Cab Sim... Patches set for Amounts of Lemmy - From Hawkwind to Real Motorhead, plus the stuff that came after. Comes with a Free Tuner! I just so happen to have a B1 On and a B1 XOn up for cheap in the FS... 😉

Something Fishy about all those basses...

I doubt it was down to the film... the different plastics of the ply shrinking or gassing at different rates - some early celluloid plates resemble thise 'Shrinky Dinkies' of the 80's

Well worth subscribing to Gerry of Haze Guitars informative email newsletter https://hazeguitars.com/subscribe

Dunno about increase sustain or tone... but i likes the engineering approach. Although the internal threaded part looks quite short... but the height of a nut i spose. I'm sure there are such things available from Spaldings (who i use for Stainless Dog Point Grub Screws for Bridge Saddles) or other Fastner shops.

Strings/Sadles to Fretboard Radius, Action, Pickup height to strings. A P with a 7.25" radius neck can make the split pickup look broken!

Hawkwind -Space Ritual Lemmy at his melodic finest.

Marshall DSL40CR?.. don't sound like a bass amp... just go for it 🤣

Might need a 1/4" Jack Plug adapter depending on the amps headphone socket size...

Or Sennhiser HD206 for £20ish Over Ear, 3m Cable...

A suspended plinth might save a 'needle-bounce' or two on a side board type unit on plush underlayed carpet...

Love the Lollies but can't do the Tort. Enjoy!

Where is the TT to be sited? Wall/Shelf for a Solid Plinth like a Rega or Floor rest unit, where a suspended plinth might be a better choice - Lynn/System Deck. And the thing with a Vintage... it may of fallen out of favour some years before being sold... like my Rega Player 3 / ATF5 Stilton that has been in the loft for 18yrs, so factor in at least a motor and spindle bearing lube and a belt(s)

Ridin' on the L & N I like the Nine Below Zero version, live at the Marquee

Train Kept a Rollin' - lots... I had an old 'flexi disc' of Motorhead playing it...

Tonerider, Classic or the hotter Duke. Hard to beat at £35 and available with flat or stagered poles... Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage £58.

Behringer ADI21... got to worth a go. Budget Go-To for Bass.

Maybe have the driver out - baking soda overnight, then hoover out and put driver back ifcya think the smell has got in to any wadding.. Baking Soda in the box it was shipped in?
