I’m surprised also, let’s face it Robert smith is the cure, if you listen to any of the demos and the top which was bass played by Robert and stuff with the glove or the walk and the banshees it becomes fairly clear where the magic is, Gallup is a solid bass player but I was never blown away technically by anything he has done even though he has been a big influence on me. Can’t help thinking Robert was always the puppet master.

Ah…so that’s why hooky left…

well he did leave for a while in the 80s, but for him this was a pretty cushy number, I'm honestly a little surprised he would quit now.

yes i think he does.

not really...it was like spending the evening in a dank kgb interrogation cell.

yeah thats the place lol...grim would be an understatement.

i got my westone after seeing harvey bainbridge of hawkwind using one on their sonic attack tour. He got a pretty good sound out of it.

yes i think it was hh, maybe to be replaced later on by carslboro stingrays. Maiden had to be using their own gear, marshalls i would imagine. The place was located under a railway arch. I used to be so impressed the way the hh would light up in the dark.

had the annoying pleasure of being in the next room to these guys in some grotty leytonstone rehearsal studio, literally we couldn't hear ourselves over the sound coming through the walls.

yes i was wondering about the moulds, it almost seems like their mould might have a vairiable width adjustment, but yes i will email them on this, just trying to work out what might suit me best before i do so.

i cant seem to see anything on their website specifically about this but are there three different neck widths for the 4 5 and 6 string options? i was wondering in particular if they might do something like five strings closer together on a four string neck?

I had a thunder iii in the 80s, thought it was really great bass, part exchanged it for a wal.

Home use for sure, just practising on the sofa type stuff.

Thing is that the pjb stuff no matter how small handles the lowB, well at least I assume it’s the case with this latest offering, certainly the double four can do it.

does this handle a low b? Does this handle a lowB?

I was very impressed with the low b on my headless graphite status 2 using their own strings. The note is very defined, more so than the low e on some other basses. At this scale length I doubt you would get much better.

Glad you pointed that one out …seems a strange omission not to have batteries, perhaps it’s just a combination of too small an enclosure with too powerful an amp?

Ak thanks …of course look on their website …lol. I guess it will come to the uk eventually.. At this rate I can see Phil going in the direction of making just one standard bass module and then you just stack them all together like Lego to create the setup of your choice..

https://bassmagazine.jp/news/202104-pjb/ Anyone know more about this combo?? because I think I need one of these to make my life complete.

the bass in this is the meat of the whole song.
