Means I’m cleaning up my vomit again. Knew I shouldn’t have eaten it after the last time.

Believe me, you’d be hard pushed to better it for £345. If the bb pile wasn’t considerable and I wasn’t waiting for some refunds to process (one damaged eBay item - I’ll get my money back sometime near Christmas) 🙄

No, a 4 so lovely it doesn’t need a 5th string 🥴

Although...I could be tempted. Anyone fancy a fretless bb? 😂😂😂

I’m going to hold off actually, got to wait for a couple of refunds and I’m running out of space at the minute (and patient wife tickets)

Happy accident?

I may be about to fail spectacularly (not that I haven’t already)

The USA standard stuff is the same, my Custom shop has a big fat ‘RELIC’ stamp under the pickguard 🙄

The Wal bass in the picture you posted looks like a great bass - it would sound ace through the big rack of Trace Elliot amps you also posted a picture of. Thanks for posting some great pictures mate, wish I’d kept my old bass magazines!

🤮🤮🤮🤮 sorry.

Jesus. Now that’s AMAZING.

Down there for dancin’

Had one of these years ago but made little or no sense with a preamp in the bass...I’ve got a lot of passive stuff going on at the moment and the band are starting to form a sound as it were and want to dial something in with this.

This is the luckiest you’ll be.

I’ve failed again. Bollocks.

Another pickguard.

Haven’t bought it in years - this is one of the many reasons...

Is Jools Holland doing the Piano one? “How to shoehorn boogie woogie into a Madness tune.” I’m being facetious... I’ve got this on series link, tried to watch the Stewart Copeland On Drums one, but littlest Trav has been really out of sorts and cried through most of it 😐

With associated costs and taxes etc, I bet they’re making a decent living but hardly driving to work in a Bugatti Chiron...

I quite like the look of their standards which have aesthetic like 60’s fenders, think they do a precision type and a jazz...they’re about £4K which is firmly in Fender CS money territory. The 10-15k models are Emperors and AJ Presentation Models which obviously take more attention. I’d guess they build about 600 instruments a year?

Yeah, it’s obviously not for you @bubinga5 - if they’re trying to make a go of being (or are an existing) working band, the “hey lets jam” approach will be met with ‘but you learned the songs though?’ Having run 2 covers bands, and auditioned some members - i’d politely ask someone to leave the room if they wanted to jam (and hadn’t prepared). Now, in an originals setting, I’d love the “hey lets jam” approach.

Piano manufacturer, originally.

I really liked the previous model, never played one of these as it was announced around the time I stopped working in a guitar shop and have avoided them like the plague since (guitar shops).
