    This is the truth 👍

    Good Basschat review here..... I paid £325 for this eBay used a few months back so was aiming to sell for what I paid, however having just checked they're only £379 at Anderton's so how about £275 👍

    Whole lot better than I was expecting when I bought it for a specific gig project, and it transpires these are really well thought of instruments. Can post Stock photo, will upload actual photos when I can get to the music room

    Details here https://www.soundcraft.com/en/products/ui24r Long story but I paid for this on behalf of my then band a year ago and things have moved on without it ever having been used bar a simple 'does it work' check at the time. It's been housed in a very high quality SKB case since so has probably been better protected than would have been the case in a stock warehouse! Cheapest I can find online is £779 at Anderton's here https://www.andertons.co.uk/soundcraft-ui24r-digital-mixing-multi-track-recording-system/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20730020355&gbraid=0AAAAADujoUrk3NmIqXRRA2FwnV9VrsuUr&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI0pzQ-9i5jgMVBj8GAB3mGgs6EAQYAiABEgLdSvD_BwE Thomann/GFM are considerably more expensive. I prefer lo-tech mixers to be honest, hence not giving this a go. Will come with all original packaging. Trade-wise a large all tube head will always interest me

    Always struck me that with graphite necks, given the cost or manufacture the relatively limited marketplace per instrument - Fender Jazz excluded - that a modular headstock design is a route worth exploring, essentially a headless neck with either some prongs or inserts that will take a range headstocks of the major designs (Fender/EBMM as well as more niche options such as Wal, Warwick, Sandberg). If it were wood the join would be way too vulnerable to stress/impact, much less so with graphite?

    List a Status Graphite 4-string Jazz neck for sale on this forum and it will be gone within minutes at a price higher than its original RRP, simply because of both rarity and the vast number of instruments already owned that it will work with (Fender MIA, MIJ, MIM Jazzes and Precisions, plus many other brands). Cheap? It's simply good business sense. A lot of businesses go under because they fail to recognise the nature of the market they're selling into.

    Biggest market has to be Fender Jazz in both fretted and fretless, followed by Precision and one or more Stingrays (depending on whether they are pre-drilled) 👍
  8. Beedster
    Yes 👍

    Nicely done mate, what did you use?
  10. Beedster
    I’m sure if you let us know where you are someone could help out in person?
  11. Beedster
    Nice 👍
  12. Beedster
    Likewise 👍
  13. Beedster
    Did you age the pickguard?

    Lovely @kevin_lindsay 👍

    I'm not sure where I got this from (either here or TB I imagine), but when I bought my EBMM US SUB in around 2005 I read that EBMM were using bodies for the SUBs that were considered of insufficient quality for the EBMM 'rays (weight/grain etc), and as the SUB bodies were polar I'd assume the same was true of at least some of the rays. Happy to be corrected, but given that the PP is also poplar it suggests that there's some truth

    So it's louder
  17. Beedster
    But rosewood board...... 👍
  18. Beedster
    Exactly, custom, not a regular line 👍
  19. Beedster
    Agree, likewise Fender make fretted Jaco and Tony Franklin versions of their respective sig instruments, it’s a case of offering what is likely to sell I guess 👍
  20. Beedster
    I'm guessing that Pino's original was poplar hence the choice for this signature bass. I've always thought of poplar as an utterly characterless wood visually and tonally, but the species of wood makes far less difference than the characteristics of the piece(s) of wood in the instrument in question

    There are few things more guaranteed to really piss me off that having to crawl under my desk to... a) insert/remove/replace a cable b) find out why the insertion/removal/replacement in the previous step hasn't achieved its objective c) undo the collateral damage inflicted on other cables while working on the previous two steps One of the most significant evolutionary design flaws in the human psyche is the elevation in anger associated with tasks that require low levels of anger to be executed successfully
  22. Beedster
    Thomann also offering both, some inflation....?
  23. Beedster
    Like so many 80's bands, the current incarnation feels like a tribute act 🤔
  24. Beedster
    Perhaps it's not an especially good bass? Of all the FL basses I've owned, ranging from Squiers through MM (both pre EB and EBMM), Fender Ps and Js up to the Custom Shop Jaco Relic, Ric, Status, Modulus, and Wals, I'd rate the 'Rays as those I liked the least, the baked-in tone works on fretted for me, but much less so on FL. I might be wrong but given EBMM have pretty much stopped producing factory FLs over the last few years suggests I'm not alone?
  25. Beedster
    So that’s why they’ve not been making FLs for a while 🤔
