This, to me, smacks of 'Bring back the Morris Minor'. A bass is a bass is a bass, and Fender even more so, I reckon. At the time (back in the '60s...) there was nothing 'iconic' about these instruments, and I don't believe that's changed much over the decades. 'Serious' collectors will want the originals, anyway. A non-starter, for me.

Tell us about it..!

I think I'd suggest asking yourself just what it is that you don't like about your current instrument, then look at any affordable instrument that you do like enough to make the change, if you can find one. That's all.

Drums: Toad (Cream...) or The Black Page N°1 (or N°2...) (Zappa...).

Yes, that's just the 'talking'. The 'singing' is worse; much worse.

Good afternoon, WW, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Heavy, man; heavy. It's a question of balance.

Almost any Bob Dylan stuff. Rare exceptions; very rare.

My curiosity got the better of me, so I gave these a listen (or, at least, tried to...). I must stop doing that.

I've just been listening to Weather Report; this follows on nicely. Good Stuff. (well, until the 'singing' started..! )

Does this make the list..?

No, this won't work for what you want to do (if I've understood this...). The stereo jack won't take the signal correctly from your bass jack socket. You'll want the same cable, but with one mono jack split into two mono jacks. It could be done with that cable if you cut off the stereo jack and replace with a mono one, though. Here's the right cable from Amazon... PRO 6.35mm MONO JACK AUDIO SIGNAL Y SPLITTER ... Hope this helps.

Well, I gave it eight minutes, that'll I'll never get back. Not for me, slap or no slap. Definitely not a fan.

Paging Leonard Smalls..! Paging Leonard Smalls..! Urgent need of a tumble-dryer solo..! Paging Leona... Oh, hang on...

Top Tip : Reaper also has a Menu entry, just under 'Save project as...'... 'Save new version of project'. This saves the project with an incremented name ('1', then '2', then'3' etc; you get the idea...). Every time that I'm about to make a major change to my stuff, I invoke this, and carry on. Some of my projects have a dozen incremental versions; if I make a mistake (don't laugh; it could happen..!), I can call up any previous version and carry on from there. As can be imagined, I save any adjustments I make very frequently, too. At project's end, it's simple to delete all the previous stages (I don't; I prefer to keep 'em. Not as nostalgia, but sometimes as a stepping off' point for other projects, but going in a different direction. Yes, I'm daft, no need to rub it in..!). Hope this helps.

Not that I'm able, or even willing to try, such virtuoso gymnastics, but I think your time spent should at least be recognised. There may only be a small numbers of members taking it up, but that only makes it all the more high-flying, in my eyes. Good on you, old chum.

Well, you'll know if it's earned its cost or not only once you've busted the ribbon or not..! If high SPL is what the filter is protecting against, I'd question the overall frequency response obtained from using the filtered ribbon mic in the first place. Your call, of course, and it will be interesting to know how this plays out, but I'd keep a healthy (for the mic...) distance between the cab and the mic, and even then not crank the amp..! I'll freely admit to being very much more 'budget' than you appear to be, and very likely much less fussed about tiny technical details; I hope this turns out to be worth it for the sound obtained. Post results, please, if you go down this rabbit hole route..?

Good afternoon, Barry, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.
