My wife can’t believe it either, I’m fearing for its safety!

Clearly I need to drive from S.Kent to Glasgow to get this problem sorted! Would Boris allow a 924 mile round trip?

I cannot, I repeat, cannot believe this is still hanging around at two hundred quid.

Have a bump

I think we need a 'best worst guitarist' thread.

I nominate Dave Davies. Or Paul Weller. Either will do.

Oh come on dear boy, you can do better than that!

I'd certainly be up for a Hexavalve service from them!

Tedeschi Trucks Band. Saw them at the Palladium last year and the two drummers worked beautifully together. Sounded fabulous.

Seen them a few times, top band!

+1 for the AS12's, which I purchased because of this thread recommendation.

I also have UE6 and some custom molded.

The AS12 are now my favourite, sound great, seal well (for me) and appear a well built quality product. The Only two qualms I have are they feel a bit bulky compared to the others and the cable could be longer But is replacable). Neither of these would prevent me from recommending them, they  are well worth a try for under 100 quid.

The unexpected revival of this thread has caught me flat-footed. 

I suppose that means I'm not instep with the Basschat massive. 

I've already shoehorned in my comment, I think you are too lace to the party.

I have a cort B5(?), it's by far my easiest playing bass,  the one I feel most at home with. Just right on the neck spec, string spacing and body design/weight. Sadly, I'm not getting on with the electronics, I swapped out the pickups and preamp to change the sound, but still not right for me.

If I were to have a bass custom made, it would be with the neck and string specs of this bass.

Complete air sole if you ask me. 😂

No need to be insole-ting. 

It does not come with 15w practice amp though which is a sheerness-ity when starting out

Looks like someone could have the seller Dover a barrel with that bargain.

The three I'm going for at the mo are songs I know I will struggle with, but hey, plenty of time indoors to practice at the moment!

1. Forget me knotts (I'm terrible at slap)

2. Wayward son (tricky changes)

3. Sir Duke (the fast horn section is tough for me)

I will probably fail miserably on 1 & 3 see how we go!

Before I bought my custom I played about 6 or 7 of them in PMT , and the thing I noticed most was how nice the necks were to play, that was the selling point for me , which one did you get Andy 🙂

This one, really pleased with it, modern sounding compared to my usual tastes...

I scratched the itch in the end btw by purchasing @TorVic lovely Sandberg. Very happy with it too, the neck feels super comfy and really responsive.

Bought the glorious Sandberg (the gas eventually got me!) off Vic, great comm's a little hickup with GB boarder force, but all good in the end!

Would deal with again, cheers Victor!

Is the neck a lacquer finish @TorVic?

Love this!

Sandberg do do the California series with their own pups and pre-amp has a slight budget version over the Delano option. 

So this is a budget version?

Looks like they have the electronics wrong

Looks like Sandberg pick ups and a passive bass as opposed to Delano’s and active 

I did wonder where the battery went!

Right up my street.... there a beautiful p Sandberg on our for sale section too. Highly tempted by both!

It's almost as if Norman Watt-Roy is better than us. 😬 

Yeah, but I can usually do a half bodge job, not in this case.
