Thanks everyone for the advice, it's much appreciated 👍 Basschat to the rescue yet again. Looking forward to trying the Microtubes 500 out properly next rehearsal 😎

Apologies, I know this has likely been done to death but couldn't find a specific answer via search. Basically my 2x12 Zilla cab is 4ohms and 600w. Just picked up a v1 Darkglass MT500, and stupidly only now realised that whilst it's 500w RMS at 4ohms, it's actually 750w peak. For those better versed with this stuff than I (most people here I'd assume) am I going to need to get a different cab or will the Zilla likely be fine as long as I'm not running the volume super high. Or is the peak of 750w always going to need to be accommodated by the speaker, regardless of volume? Greatful for any advice.

You might already know but sadly Rexter doesn't do refinishing any more. Great shame as his work was always top notch.

I had no idea this was where HMHB pilfered it from but something about the way the Lonnie Donnegan title scanned when I saw it written down (having never heard it) made a light bulb go off. The scamps.

Let's not get this out of perspective. The vast majority of people in this thread have said 'this is great, good for her' etc. it wouldn't be the internet if there wasn't at least a couple of the usual signature bass guardians 😀

I'll never understand the idea that there is any other criteria, let alone some weird idea of 'worthiness', than 'can we sell this by attaching this person's name to it' Recently internet famous or not, if Fender think they can flog enough of it to her fanbase to make it worth their while, and attract non fans with a fairly unique pickup config and finish amongst the current fender range, why wouldn't they? Edit: In case it's not clear I'm not against this, or any signature bass for that matter. I think it's great if any bass player is popular and influential enough that companies like Fender want to work with them, especially if they're attracting a demographic that previously wouldn't have considered picking up a bass. And I really like the tweaks she's come up with for her sig.

Love Pat Finnerty. The Weezer video was really well done and the Kid Rock ft Monster Truck video had me stitches throughout.

I had the exact same issue with mine. Contacted them and got an RMA. Was fixed and returned all for a very reasonable price after a week or so. Great service.

Thanks, I'll take a look. I did notice there was no mention of the Seymour Duncan SPB3 on the HMNIM page. Is the replacement Fender stock one a similar sound?

Thanks mate. Hopefully there will be another run as you say. My Hoppus bass is still my go to bass after almost 20 years. Hope your replacement is sorted soon

What did it set you back with postage and import fees if you don't mind me asking. Been keeping a (not very good) eye on these runs and keep missing out.
