Yes it is 👍 It's very easy to play, nice neck profile, weight and balance. Its also very flexible tone wise. I don't normally use the neck pickup on its own but with this one I'm quite happy to. I've used it in both my classic rock and soul / funky bands and it fits in great with all of them. I've decided not to use it in the rock band any more as they still have Sex on Fire in the set and as such don't deserve the Elrick! 🤣 Thank you and you're right I have had some stunning basses over the years (way above my pay grade!) and this one is one of the very best!

Hearing you on some of your videos helped me decide to give it a chance and I bought it untried. Thanks.

Usual "in's" and "out's" at the "Acebass Musical Equipment Temporary Storage & Refuge Facility" 🤣 Like others, I've not had any "bad" purchases but have 3 that really stand out and work for me: my Elrick Evolution Gold V, Anagram multi-fx and MVave Chocolate Plus midi foot switch. I'm a happy bunny that doesnt see me wanting to change any of my gear until at least a week on Tuesday! 😮🤣🤣

I vaguely remember that photo 🤔 Could it have been Nick Smith?

Just bought a wireless system off Steve. Easy deal and he kept me updated all the way. Thanks 👍

I seem to have inherited the duties yet again for my most recent band (and for the previous band I set up and ran for 15 years). This was because none of the front persons felt comfortable doing it (ones a teacher so no problem speaking to large groups!) As @lowregisterhead says having some sort of interaction with the audience is part of the show however I tend to keep my waffle to a minimum because: 1) Very few people can hear what most between song chat is about. I find most people mumble into the mic as well. 2) Very few people care what most between song chat is about unless its "the buffet is open" or "last orders". 3) We are more of a party band than introverted singer songwriter that tells what has inspired them....also see 1 and 2 above 🤣 4) I try and keep any comments to be about the music / event / venue and away from politics, religion, football or any controvesy for obvious reasons. This usually reduces the chance of a dispute over things said. Our setlist is grouped into 4 or 5 songs which we play close together. A very short break between groupings is then used for changing guitars / settings etc whilst I introduce the band / thank people for coming / social media stuff / random fact about a song / thank dancers & staff etc. I have notes on my setlist for these sort of comments & the venue name etc. All very regular stuff which if you think about it and write yourself appropriate notes beforehand makes the job easier. The more you do it the more you can come off script and ad-lib / interact with the audience.

I've just bought some Straploks from Ed and it was an easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy (technical term 🤣) deal. Thanks. 👍

Oi, I'll have you know we dont live in the arse end of civilisation.....but we can certainly see it from here! 🤣🤣

Welcome Reiver from another north of the border bassist 👍

I've been looking around for a compact yet more substantial case for my Anagram and came across THIS case on Fleabay in the UK. I have no connection with the seller but thought some of you might be interested in it. I also wanted it to hold my MVave midi pedal and the Anagram power supply. It seems well built with the only drawback being the inner foam which is a bit flimsy. I'll be changing that out at some point. Here some pics of my process to fit the Anagram etc in it.
