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.

A thing that would make me practice enough.

They did a limited run like that once. Might have even been neck through.

 

It didn't sell enough to keep going with it.

Do you have any specifics by any chance? Tried Google but nothing so far...
