Sounds great. I think my only criticism is that having the singer (appear to) read the vast majority of the song perhaps doesn't lend itself to people thinking "ah these guys are a PARTY band". But yes, sounds great Si

Just properly listened to 7empest again, beast of a tune that doesn't feel like 15mins IMO. Anyone claiming that Maynard has fully mellowed hasn't gotten that far into the album.....just goes to show that it's all creative choices. Si

I’m enjoying it so far, even the wooshy tracks (in conjunction with the whole thing as a piece, not in isolation so much). Pneuma is great, title track is obviously cool, and Descending is pretty epic too. Will require more listens to cement it all still, but yeah, enjoying it Didn’t bother with the obsolete tech physical release, but will probably plump for a vinyl box-set if they do re-release all the albums (the irony of this is not lost on me). Si

So as long as you could rely on a monitor (an amp/cab), you’d gig without an amp and cab? I jest, do you mean in-ears? Si

La Bella are 🙌 Si

PM’d Si

Ah nice, I put a cheeky bid in on this, glad you got it! I’ve got a second 415 in OM on the way, let’s hope it’s a better specimen than the one I bought the other day . Finally excellent though. Si

Will do, i’ll take it off later and have a measure......the bass that is. Si

That's insane, neck is dead, body has a massive split in it. And I feel bad putting £200 into a Yammy with a bowed neck lol Si

Flats for all recording for me, unless it's a more clanky rocky sound I want. Si

My Serek Midwestern that arrived a couple of months ago: 30", B90 pickup, dummy coil under the scratch plate. Very very cool bass! Si

So who got the eBay 414? I had a cheeky bid, but super low, was only 20mins away from me, so why not lol. Si

I feel for a £200 bass, it’s not really worth the effort unfortunately. Plus it doesn’t sound like it’s the truss rod, the neck is the shape/condition it is....the truss rod is working fine, just can’t effect the wood any further. Si

I don’t see that i’ll get anything out of the seller, it was being sold as seen, I saw that it needed a hefty setup in person, and still purchased it. He’s hardly going to hand me back the cash and be stuck with it. Caveat emptor innit. Si

It appears I might have bought a lemon with this 415 High action, hella buzzing on the top end and no play at all in the truss rod....and that’s from a guitar tech. £200 in the hole....any ideas? Will someone likely buy a fully loaded body? Would be nice to get a little back on it! Si

"Do you want to jam"? No, no I don't. Do I want to write and/or record some music with you? Sure, possibly. But to pointlessly 'jam' for hours? 🤮 Si

Open it up to looking for a ‘front person’ and you’ll double your chances Si

Dunno if these have been mentioned yet as solid P contenders: Lakland Moollon If not, they should be in your list Si

I’ve had a BB615 before, which was a cool bass, but I wasn’t keen on the preamp. And the gear purchasing ship sailed back in June lol. I did 6months, so not bad Si

No, from South London. Did see that one though, was collection only (3 hours from me), and it got a little strange over email....then the South London one came up Si

Oh hi there! BB415 in the house. Needs a solid setup, but it was £200 so that’s ok. Putting La Bella flats on it. I’d be interested in any advice on replacement (preferably direct) bridges and lightweight tuners, any thoughts? Si

It’s simply an exercise in facility, so why not. Fantastic player, has done some of the Scary Pockets vids and is always super musical. Si

Assumed it’s a he? Si
