Eventually we will again too!

Happiness Is A Warm Gun - The Beatles

The Squier VMs are great basses - I used to have a VM70s Jazz and I still miss it, but the need to eat was more pressing than the need to bass at the time. Compared to a Squier or a Sire the SMX may not be great value, but compared to a US Fender or a Sadowsky MetroLine they're probably going to be fantastic value. You could probably say the same of the Player Plus as well as the Sire V10.

Looks like a Gibson Les Paul to me.

Not counting Squiers, the nearest equivalent Fender range is the Player Plus, where are currently retailing for c. £1k. Assuming all the lessons of the past have been learned and the new SMXs retail for (say) £850 for a 4-string, adding the VTC preamp and selling the old one would still make them less than the Fender.

Want to? Yes. Can afford to? No. Space to store two extra cabs? Definitely not.

Same, and have used it for exactly that purpose!

I'm sure in the past both sides have realised that something had gone wrong and agreed not to be d*cks about things, but I imagine there would be people who would try and enforce it.

Honestly this is the biggest bargain on that site: https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/fender-jazz-bass-1992. I'm sure that £5 off £20k makes all the difference...

It's still showing as available at the original price for me.

That very much does help, thanks! Maybe I'll save it for when I can buy an extra two and can run all three cabs at full bore. Might need another amp at that point though. Hmm...

I think after I've acquired myself a new SMX the VTC upgrade will definitely be happening at some point. I don't often need a tone control but it would be nice to have, and if the overall preamp quality is better then it just seems like an overall good thing to do. I'm surprised they still haven't done this - even including the VTC preamp the new models would still be cheaper than the equivalent Fender (I assume they're choosing to ignore the existence of Sire...)

If you like imperfection then I'm your man!

Think I'll get a second one eventually but for now budgetary and space constraints say that one will do

A few I follow here: Lee Sklar - nuff said Cici bass - also seen on Anderton's All About The Bass AMP - Reviews n that Dr Funk - good if you like slap. I've seen him busking in Falmouth and he is really good Gev Delano - very talented kid Jermaine Morgan - lessons, demos, etc. Rumblin Man - demos of bass and guitar stuff Some non-bass stuff: Alison Eales - friend of mine just released her first album, go check it out because it's awesome (and I'm not just saying that because I'm biased) Dominic Noble - book reviews exurb1a - philosophy and stuff J Draper - History Nicole Coenen - lumberjacking lesbian and, er, something Canadian starting with L... The Charismatic Voice - music reactions and vocal analysis from an opera singer, teacher, producer, etc.

He should have offered to do her a favour and take a couple off her hands for free, since Geezer would have been unlikely to have noticed.

Dear reader, We refer you to the response given in Arkell v Pressdram. Yours, &c.

That sounds distracting to say the least

It's in the dictionary after "liar" 😉

Ah, now that's an entirely separate matter 😂

Ooh baby!

I've played through a 4x10 before, is it much different?
