    That's pretty cool - shame about the lack of finish options, but I guess that may change if they become popular. Here's my old one anyway, owned in 2013:

    Saw this pop up on Facebook and was reduced to an unmissable price with a 40 min drive involved (bonus - he had a cat to meet). I already have an RBX6JM which is fairly similar, but in practise they differ as TRB has higher pickup positions leading to a mellower sound, as well as wider spacing making it a little easier on the hand. I've experimented with rotating the pickups to move the coil also with various interesting results (turning bridge pickup on TRB is the sweetest 70s Jazz tone). The conundrum I now have is I have a set of EMG DC45s I found cheap, do they go in the JM or the TRB ?! n.b. the JM has a Delano Sonar 3 preamp installed.

    Unfortunately that's a widespread issue. Your cheapest option is replacing with Hipshot Rails.

    I've seen someone fit some DC45s along with a Delano Sonar preamp and it sounds great. I already have the latter installed but with stock pickups in my Yamaha RBX6JM. A few questions to those with the know how please. 1) Can I use a separate battery to the preamp or does it have to be on the same circuit ? 2) Is the existing blend pot usable or should it be an EMG one ? 3) What (if any) grounding connections need to go ? Thanks in advance. Video in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL4L6IZUNME&t=18s&ab_channel=JordanSankar

    You won't find a single piece bridge for them yet, Dingwall will be releasing one but I believe it will require routing to fit. Is your issue the saddles are a bit 'loose' with a low action ?

    MTD ? Here are some Kingston series (£1100-£1300) but the custom shop US are much greater quality, and under £10k for a very high spec model. EDIT: My Super 5 has 19mm spacing

    I disagree, try a taper core B string and you may change your mind. I currently have MTD's on mine and the B is excellent.

    Just got home and unpacked. Enjoyed chatting with my fellow bass geeks and tried some nice basses out.

    I jest. I used to be really early for everything too, it was due to traffic anxiety and entering 'waiting mode' when any event was coming up leading to just going early to avoid the boredom. My wife has ADHD and she taught me to chill out a lot.

    Too many pages and I'm lazy, what time can we get there from?

    You haven't said what you actually want, they're all very different.

    Support act for a band in Brum. Headliner was supplying a 200w Warwick Gnome with a 110 cab, which I didn't think would cut it for how loud we play, so took my Ashdown RM500 and a 210 cab. On stage sound wasn't great for monitoring so glad I could crank my amp to get some top end out of it. The singer from my old metal band 2006-2007 came along too, hadn't seen him in 15 years so that was cool to catch up. Not a big turn out at about 25-30 people but first gig of the year and blew the cobwebs out. No particular issues or messups - solid performance.

    My gear has obviously changed since I originally posted. It might still as there are 2 whole days left. It'll be: Dingwall D-Roc 5 MTD Kingston Super 5 Yamaha BBG4 (will be for sale at a cheeky price) Warwick Gnome 280w Ashdown RM210 Zoom B2 Four
