Cheers Rich, but it was just a bout of GAS.

No, it's about the "Mainland UK" stopping just north of Perth, and that all the major courier companies having to hire a hairy bloke with a donkey to deliver parcels... Apologies, just a tad annoyed about that. Was really looking forward to getting hold of the DB-Pre, especially at that price.

DR Strings DDT?

Oh dear. Turns out I obviously didn't read the GAK advert right, they can't deliver to Scotland.

Bienvenue a Basschat

Very true

High Voltage -AC/DC

Last time I spoke to a Medical Professional about tinnitus (not that long ago), the response was, "sorry, not much we can do I'm afraid". It's annoying, no matter what precautions I take, it is getting worse. Signed up to the BTA thing, let's see where they go from here. Hopefully, they can come up with something other than "just get on with it".

Fight the Power - Public Enemy

Spirit Caravan - Spirit Caravan

Wonder if that's where Tokai got the idea for the Talbo design?

Beat me to it. Just ordered one myself. 👍

Trigger's Broom Bass?

TV Crimes - Black Sabbath

Kick Out The Jams - MC5

Since You've Been Gone - Rainbow

If it's a standard acoustic guitar sized soundhole, then maybe something like a decent soundhole pickup would do the job and not cost a fortune. The Fishman Neo Soundhole pickups arent too expensive, and sound good. Andertons Fishman Neo GAK Thomann G4M

Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden

Superb. RIP.

Wolverine Blues - Entombed

Learned to do set up's a number of years ago, when I became convinced the shop I was using were taking the michael. Thankfully, at the time, a few of the guitar mags had printed "How To" guides, so that was a good "starter for 10".

Likewise. I bought it because a lot of people on here were singing the praises of this wee amp, and at the time, I was using a Line6 HD500x for practicing, rehearsals and gigs. It was a bit of a pain to get the HD out, set up to practice, and put away. Getting the amp was an attempt to cut down the process in setting up, but I didn't have a suitable cab, so was using headphones. It was easier to carry on using the HD. I should have just bought a small combo.

Indeed, you can pick up a genuine Gibson Thunderbird for around £1000 second hand, rather than £1500-2000 for a second hand 4003. Though to be fair, there would appear to be a lot fewer Gibson basses kicking about than Fender or Rickenbacker. Would still love to get my hands on a Victory though.

If it were me, I'd go for the Westone, more for the rarity, and the fact that I always wanted one after watching Henry Thomas using one on "Rock School" on BBC2. As much as I love the Aria SB basses, the Westone wins this one. Although it will probably be a bit heavier than the Aria.
