The worst part about these are the inappropriate block inlays on the Precision! Unforgivable haha! They did it on the Mocha P too, come on Squier! FWIW, I love Antigua 😁 Si

What I’d be interested to know, without derailing the thread, is how it compares to the Harley Benton Bass VI. Si

It did get me thinking about paying for an email service….maybe I’ll start/search for a thread on it 🙂 I’ve also had my hotmail since the early 2000’s, so it’s a shame, but hey, can’t be missing out on stuff just because it’s a free service. Si

They've just sent me all the photos I need over Instagram, so that's helpful! Got me worried about what other emails I might not be receiving though haha. Hopefully not an issue. Cheers all. Si

For sure, they're quick enough in Instagram....just not sure how to get photos from them now haha. I wonder if the ordering emails are again from a different system to what @Woodinblackmentioned?! Si

Yeah same, looks like they come from a different email system though?! So seemingly not effected by this certificate issue mentioned above. Cheers Si

Well that's frustrating! Obviously I could call, but I've requested some specific photos to be sent and they won't send them on Instagram for some reason. Thanks for the info! Si

Has anyone ever had any issues with emails from BD not arriving? Either to Gmail or Hotmail (Outlook)? They seemingly receive mine, bit responses not arriving to either account, very strange! Si

I needed a box to ship a bass and Mick was gratuitous enough to furnish me with one, along with some additional packaging. Thanks very much Mick, always a pleasure! Si

I had an 1983 USA Fender Jazz a few years ago......awful thing, just horrible. Sold it thank god. Si

Great story and wonderful bass. We must have ordered at fairly similar times (actually probably me a little earlier, Nov 2019 I think), mine came in July of 2020, albeit a more standard build (P4 Oly White). Enjoy it! May you age it well haha Si

Well absolutely, it’s certainly a consideration, depends on the player! Pros and Cons for sure! Si

La Bella 760FS flats have black silks and are pretty smooth (as most flats are). Not to be mistaken for the 760FL set, which have red silks. Si

I echo what has already been broadly mentioned, which is that the correct layout is that which sounds best to you! Which opens up the way for a lot of experimentation, but that really is where you'll get the best long-term results. That said, for what it's worth, here would be my personal layout: Overddrive pedal -> Octaver pedal -> Chorus pedal -> Harley Benton preamp + compressor -> Tuner pedal Really, it doesn't matter too much where the tuner is, but if it's at the very end of the chain, it also acts as a very effective mute. If it's at the start of the chain and you leave loads of effects on while you tune, yes your bass signal is muted, but you could still have effected pedal noise going to your amp. Si

Love this board, very cool setup! Si

As someone who gigs my Noble a LOT, and am running 6 other pedals from the power supply, I noticed very little if any noise. That said, I'm running 5 low-draw analogue pedals and a digital tuner, so it's not a complicated setup. Si

I bought Harry’s Lakland 55-02 and he made the deal extremely easy for me (very appreciated at the moment). Good comms, nice guy, bass is lovely and as described, deal with confidence! Si
