Mesa 1x15 combo, with a valve pre and the D350 power stage. Also add the Walkabout radiator.

Mesa flip top counterpart. All the Mesa tube goodness in a studio/small room format.

I'd like to see Joe Dart Sterling basses available to the UK without the absurdly high shipping fee.

 

Me too - but with it being EBMM/SBMM you know they'd just massively increase the price instead.

 

The shipping fee for a one off was fine - but when it was obvious that there would be loads in a container at the same time that was taking the piss a bit.

A special edition of the JMJ Mustang bass in a custom colour nitro with the production line's 'road-worn' operation bypassed.

 

Just seen the Andertons exclusive player II series jazz bass, jazzmaster, strat, & tele in lavender haze. This colour in nitro on a JMJ with no relicing shenanigans would look good.

 

 

or perhaps a metallic version of lavender haze

 

 

Wow! If I dismantle one of my daphne blue JMJs, where can I send the body to get this finish done in nitro, and what would the cost be?

 

edit: matching headstock!

I reckon everyone should chill out and stop making new stuff for a bit

But then we’d only have old vintage instruments to lust after.

 

Yep, fair point 🤣

I agree @ped, it’s become an arms race, especially in terms of amplification

Interestingly I was browsing in Anderton's just today and tried a few basses. Long story short I couldn't wait to get back home to play the gear I already own. Basically I agree with you 👍

Id like to see a back metal band with guitars in that cheerful shade.
