To be fair... it was a 4 day bank holiday.

Not 'Mega Shitty Four'? Missed opportunity....

I've got 14 gigs in so far from May - September. Deps with Duran#Spandau show, local covers gigs, function band weddings and a couple of gigs with an original artist. Not bad so far!

Working on a diff venue.

Stunning! Looks just like the sort of Hamer double cutaway style basses that Jack Blades played with Night Ranger. Very cool!

Hartke Hydrive 112 is the cab you want. It's switchable between 8 ohms and 4 ohms and sounds great!

Sadly a Spring bash is looking unlikely again, but will keep you all updated.

I saw that and would have made an offer if they shipped. They appear firm on price though. If you buy it and find the neck too chunky give me a shout. I may be interested. The Pulse II has a nicer neck and a bargain used when in the mid-late £hundreds......but the thru neck, Euro is the better bass of the two at that £1k+ price bracket.

Ah, but the buskers could deny it and tell the judge that they are protesting Farmers having to pay inheritence tax.... and they will get off scot-free

No, Ghost are a Blue Oyster Cult tribute....

Received a Rumble 100 from Chris. Good comms and packed fantastically. Cheers, recommended!

I'm forming a double-tribute to Camel and Toto called..... CamelTo(to) I'll get me coat.....😉

Went and saw 'Invisible Airwaves' (Rush tribute) at the Cavern in Raynes Park, SW London with @Hamster & Darren Redick last night. Great gig, really tight band and some.superb musicianship all around! Tamasz absolutely nailed Geddy's super high vocal stylings while @Hemibass did a fantastic job reproducing Geddy's basslines, keys and pedals! Personal highlights were The Trees, Limelight, Freewill, Tom Sawyer and a cracking version of Xanadu! Catch them if they play near you...!

Yep, I'm hoping to make it along...

Yes, I imagine it won't affect UK prices of Euros, but that Euros will be 25% more expensive in the US. Noone can afford the US custom shop ones anyway so no biggie over here...

I reckon that will have some serious neck dive...

So, that didn't answer the original question at all. 🤔🫤

500H is approx £399 so maybe £600?

Looks very nice. Lots of cool features and very well equipped...

Contact has been re-established with the school (staff turnover/changes in all the relevant booking contacts). Hopefully some positive news soon.

Superb! Thank you for sharing all the wonderful pictures of your luthiery.... a real labour of love! It looks wonderful

I run mine pretty much flat but dial back/cut the treble a tad as it's a very bright head. Then I may engage the bump for a touch more low end if required. Alternatively, experiment with boosting the low mid to e.g. 2pm and bass to e.g. 1pm and see which you prefer. I don't really use the overdrive but if I do I keep it very low for just a little growl and then use the edge to control how bright it sounds. It's a great amp with tons of power through an efficient 8ohm or 4 ohm cab. Cabs colour amps as well so I find that it sounds full, punchy and tight through my Genz 2x12 4ohm cab, and clear, punchy and more piano-tone-like through my LFSys Monaco 8ohm 1x12 cab. I have to dial the treble right back with the latter cab! Play around with it, try the switches and then disengage them and try adjusting the EQ in a similar fashion.... see which you prefer. It's a very responsive head! Enjoy!

I don't think anyone's mentioned it being a Kipenbacker special order. That will never happen. It would be standard NS2 shape.

Love mine! 😉😎👍
