Pot taper is the same on mine. Personally, I don't consider it to be an issue. Main issue here (IMO) is poor comms from Adrian, but I can't help thinking topping and tailing your email with: 'Hello Adrian. Thanks for sending the bass. I have a few questions... ...thank you.' ....might have started things off on a better foot.

Check out the Handbox thread, albeit with the complication that you might not be able to try one first.

I really like the look of that G&L. I'll have to try one sometime.

I bet it sounds pretty good, too...!

Sorry, I meant the 'Choose files' link next to it.

That'll be why. Reduce the quality, or stick it on YouTube and post the link.

^^^ all I did was click on the paperclip and attach the file. Which, TBH, I didn't know you could do until now.

Has anyone heard from them recently? I just wonder if they've been involuntarily 'repatriated'...

I don't even know where to start with that. All I have are questions.

It's a shame JJ Cale isn't still with us. He could have been the only gigging musician on the planet.

The thread scissors have been deployed. Please keep this sensible (as much as anything on BC ever is, at least).

Yeah, let's steer this back to the OP (and I acknowledge my part in the derailment).

I love my mam & dad too much to chance it, but I appreciate other people have different opinions on it.

I'm so glad the scientific situation has changed so substantially from a couple of months ago. They sorted the vaccine quick, didn't they? Oh, wait...

Presumably there's a bit in the sub, too? 🙂 What a load of bunkum.

I HAVE NO SENSE OF HUMOUR DAMMIT

A bit of an unfair comment - you can disagree with me all you like - all the green name means is I was daft enough to volunteer 😄

I imaging that'll have a bit to do with it. I was surprised how lo-tech the video was for a stickler like Alex. And, despite what's mentioned earlier in the thread, all that counts it how it sounds with the band.

That's good to hear (or the best it could be, at least). I've known Tommy for a number of years now (I think I got the first cabs sent the UK, but I might be wrong) and he's never been anything other than prompt and professional. I would imagine whatever is at the root of the problems is pretty serious, and I wish him well.

As always, I hope it gets resolved to your satisfaction, but I have a horrible nagging feeling that Tommy isn't able to resolve this himself, for whatever reason. I really want to be wrong...

Cross Eurosender off the list. Frankly, sending a bass with anyone is a gamble. I hope you get sorted.

Where is it being sent from / to?

If anyone is interested in what a passive Maruszczyk humbucker at the bridge sounds like solo'd... it sounds like this.
