I've cycled with a bass in a gig bag with backpack straps which was ok. On a standard bike I think a practice amp might be challenging. You might be able to bungee it on to a pannier rack but you'd need to check the rack will take the weight. Having that much weight out back can really mess with the handling as well. Cargo bike time? 😉

Antiguaaaaaarghhh my eyes

OK this is neither cheap nor in the UK but it's pretty cool https://basslab.de/doubleneck-bass/

No personal experience but iirc Halo was synonymous with over promising and under delivering on some other forums I've been on. Caveat emptor...

I had a fretted and fretless set of the 5 string versions which were nice, but I was always baffled by the fact they didn't have the actual model name/number on them anywhere. Still have my Milestone which was my first bass, and saw me through a lot of practice and many gigs, not too mention learning how to do my own setups.

The only one I've seen so far that I'd want is the 1986 5-string Wal in the classifieds here. But not £7k+ want.

I was under the impression that it's functionally the same aside from the VTC, even down to the backwards wiring of the blend pot.

As a pointy headstock fan it's not really what I'd look for in a Jackson but it's a big improvement on the incredibly ugly David Ellefson sig they did.

The bridge position certainly looks like it might negate the ergonomic benefits of a shorter scale.

Growl = lots of mids Hifi = too much treble 😬 On a note serious note I'm happy to listen to recommendations for any 2 pickup, 4 knob config, ideally with a mid control.

Nice, not having to import one is definitely a plus point. Thanks for the heads up!

I have a Spector Legend 6 which was rewired to passive by a previous owner. I'm considering making it active again, can anyone suggest a 9v preamp with vol, blend, a mid control and treble cut that comes as a 4 pot version? I'd also consider a filter pre. Sound-wise I'm looking more for growl than hi-fi, but I'm not sure how much difference there really is between preamps in that respect. Edit: bonus points if it's easy to fit for someone with no aptitude for soldering

I upgraded my pj5 fretless with the higher spec pickups and frankly I might as well not have bothered, the difference in noise was almost imperceptible to my ear. (Fortunately I didn't pay £250 for them 😅)
