I saw the Sire ones and are interesting. There's also a defretted one for sale here...

Nice, they have accounted for that then The name (return) was a bit misleading for me, but that clarifies things.

that said, this seems to have 1 instrument input and 2 return inputs, 1 instr out and 2 send outs. I'd expect these to have difference impedances. I don't think that connecting an instrument to a return is ideal.

I wouldn't connect the mixer to the amp, the impedances wouldn't probably match well. Not sure what is your setup, but you could use one of those a+b a/b pedals (to sum/switch) to go into the amp. But try to send the 2 signals to FOH before that. For your elec bass any pedal with a balanced out would do. For the synth a DI with an instrument out would do too. The instrument out would be needed to go to the sum/swith pedal that then goes to the amp.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that the 2 instruments may need differnt eq/comp settings. Providing 1 signal for both could cause issues with that.

I'd send 2 different signals to the FOH. If they're able to mix well the elec bass with the other instruments, a synth bass shouldn't be a big deal. If they are not, I think you'd be in trouble either way. Also, let's keep in mind that what one hears on stage (for tons of reasons) might be totally different from what comes out of the main PA. So, I'd recommend not to try to "mix" on stage and let the FOH deal with that. If you really want, you could use the mixer to mix your stage sound and still send 2 separate channels to the FOH. Maybe a bit overkill though.

And black pepper... Sorry, bit late to the party!

and it's a reverse P!!!!!

Just skimmed through and I have to say, Style Council were great, as usual! Also, INXS kicked a** though!

Unless it's old stock, but still that'd mean the parts they used aren't so recent

I don't think there are new Brandoni basses anymore, I just saw that the owner died. Quickly checked their website.

Well, reading the thread it actually seems a no brainer more than a try before you buy

Brandoni P Bass in London Admittedly, I didn't know the brand until I saw this Seems interesting https://reverb.com/uk/item/64302611-brandoni-precision-bass

There was 1 on Reverb sold in the Netherlands for 2.3k, now it's gone. This to say, that 1 data point is not enough. I believe they might have hold up well, but not exceeded the initial price. That said, this is a particular model too. https://reverb.com/item/4155638-status-streamline-5

It might for sure. But I personally doubt that (apart for the one off) second-hand boutique basses will exceed the initial price. They might retain it, and still I think that is gonna be tricky. Often we say "it's an investment", and this is where I disagree. The idea behind any investment is that of getting some gain at some point, and I just don't see how this is possible with basses. Again, with the one offs and rare exceptions (eg old bass owned by a famous person, old bass with factory defects, etc.).

more on the dub side

Really like this one. Do you know who made the dub?
