It's all straight again now, I could bend it back and take a snap ......

That is filth. Pure unadulterated filth. I think I'm in love. -
I've been gassing for one of these for a while now. Let one slip through my fingers once and it haunts me.

Well, not much of a tale really, more an example of my broken brain, but hey ho. Got a new HB to scratch a fretless itch without having to save. Changed strings (not because I don't like the HB strings, I do) but the replacements altered the set up. So out came the Allen keys . I suffered a major brain fart, tightening and tightening and tightening - convinced it would be right soon. I shredded a couple of Allen keys and still I soldiered on. I stopped, bewildered and exhausted. Took out my straight edge and, well, basically I had bent the neck way back the wrong way. I don't need telling how dopey I am (but feel free of course) what I'm really here to say is this. If you wonder whether the woods and components of HB basses are of a poor quality then think again. This neck ought not to have survived my heavy handed bodgery. Seriously. But it has gone back to a perfect relief, the truss rod still functions fine and it plays beautifully. It was £144 new.

Deal! -
Prometheus DLX... well that's on my list now

Had one of those awkward gigs last night. The Tap Social in Oxford is a genuinely lovely place. Always a great atmosphere, staff and punters are friendly, there's a nice stage and a house pa. Unfortunately I have always struggled with the bass sound. First time I played there it sounded great on stage but was booming at the back of the room. This time I tried a different rig and it sounded thin and kind of compressed no matter what I did. But I did the best I could then just got in with enjoying the gig. Too easy to be derailed by sound issues and forget we're there to entertain.

I want it but it's been an expensive month! If it's still here in a week I'll take it.

Yep.

I don't know who you hired to photograph this, but the pictures, the set ,it's all so beautiful. I'd have this in a heartbeat if I had the dosh. Good luck with your sale. -

I have one of these in my future. I know it. I suspect it won't be this one, sadly, especially as I'm gigging in Oxford on Saturday, but I gave into GAS and have gone a different way. Good luck with your sale. -
Beautiful -
PM -
I would have this but for the fact that I'm growed up and have 30 basses. Dayum. -
I congratulate everybody on their restraint here.. And wish Lucasz good luck with the sale -
Hey why not stop trolling this thread and let us decide if we like the bass or not. Just a thought.

Oooh, that's tempting. The lack of fuel makes a trip out east unlikely in the short term, but one never knows. -

Which biscuits? -
All the ones listed are good , the Spectrum is a real one stop shop as long as you're happy using a computer to set it up. I also like the Fwonkbeta which is massive bottom end wise, and the Mojo Hand 443 seems to retain the bass well. If I had to pick one it would be the MXR bass envelope filter.

As I have played and loved these strings at the bass bash I think I will be getting a set of 760N.

Bought a pedal from Brian. Despite me being a total twonk and forgetting to pay him 🤦he remained polite throughout and the deal eventually went through. Sorry and thank you.
