Thanks @ Grangur...am I that predictable?? Luthier in Stevenage is Terry Chapman - a member here @nosbig (that's Gibson backwards). His details are in the Luthier thread or google TJC guitars.

The CEO of Blackstar is Paul Stevens who was the CEO at Trace Elliot. He left for Blackstar as he felt that the US owned TE company were not committed to enhancing the TE brand. When I spoke to him he was adamant that Blackstar would be building amps for Bass Players. Maybe this is their first model into the fray.

Needs a bump so that it's easier to find...

Do they make left handed pre-amps? I've never seen one...

See, it doesn't work. Bassists would need to be a household name....there are bassists named on this forum I've never even heard of. Just who is John Myung??

Oh so close...I have a medium scale one for £94.00. Shame we couldn't come to some solution..

Roll away the stone - Mott the Hoople

Distinctive marker on the 12th fret - any more idea as to it's origin?

I have a Samsom Airline system. Tends to eat batteries...otherwise a good unit.

Remember that gear bearing the name of a respected Luthier does not guarantee a quality build. I refer really to the foreign made Overwater/ Tanglewood basses which appeared a few years ago. The fit and finish left much to be desired so Chris & Co stopped any further production. I had one for a while - at first I didn't notice the sharp fret ends but after building up a callous on the first finger on my fretting hand I soon took notice. Thankfully the entry models Spectors, G&Ls and Laklands are much better.

That's really nice. Hope that you're happy with the outcome. Really enjoyed following the thread.
