Wasn't picking you up on that mate, it was the 'all other cabs' , I genuinely wondered if the 300 might be wider

Is the CTM300 wider than the 100 then? Because min sits perfectly on my compacts, made to measure you might say!

And access is great all the way up.

I grew up playing a fairly hefty Aria, so actually don't mind this

I can only go by my CTM100 experience, but yes Barefaced cabs sound amazing. I use 2 15s (Compact I think they're called) in landscape mode.. The amp fits perfectly and the sound is splendid. Congrats on the impending arrival

Nothing I said was meant to suggest he isn't a good guy. I just know that when addicts are in full blown addiction they are pretty revolting to be near.

Easy to challenge other people's prejudice, your own on the other hand...

So another sale prompts another purchase. I thought what are the three big no-no's for me. 1) Maple board 2) Active electronics 3) That Stingray I had. So I went for all three. And it is unreal. Utterly sublime.

I am listening to this. My band recorded a version recently and I'm ashamed to say I was horribly out of the pocket. So I've promised to do it again, but I want to immerse myself in it so it's on heavy rotation. Must be a good tune though because I'm not sick of hearing it

Thank you @geoham that was a rather good summary. I do know of Pink Floyd, they were in the 'older brothers' bands category when I was at school. Apart from the few very well known numbers I knew precious little about them. I now know more. Having no dog in this particular fight I can see how the schism came about and how both parties might feel animosity towards the other. If the keys guy really was hoovering the Peruvian then he would have become a deeply unpleasant character, the fact of his rehabilitation into the band therefore speaks of a capacity for forgiveness and rapprochement among those remaining members. However none of us is privy to the detailed mechanics of the fued and so probably best leave that to those involved. What I can see is how difficult it must be for the songwriter and band leader to watch other cats get fat out of what he regards as his larder. Having said that, I'm a firm believer that such things are best kept off the record.

I have an Ibanez Talman en route from BC Marketplace and technically I tried it in a shop first albeit 2 years ago. Otherwise I buy here. My decision based nothing but GAS and occasionally what you lot say about it. I buy new if it has Harley Benton written on the headstock because I know it will be an extraordinary bass for very little cash.

I used to earn my living fitting out show homes on new estates. I would have killed for a box of these.

Can't recall who recommended it, but this just arrived

Drummer is amazing!

Thank you, I will sample some of his work.

I know none of the history here. But I didn't think the chap in the video was ranting.

Thanks for sharing this. What a nice guy, and what a great player too. I feel a bit out of the loop not knowing who Steve Wilson is.

Anyway, I'd say Wake Me Up Before You Go Go is a prime example.

I tried to start a thread like this once but just got burned by other people explaining to me that the examples I gave weren't cr*p. Oh and helping me to understand the function of subjectivity and its application in popular music. For which lessons I am eternally grateful.

My regular Harley Benton bass orders have been arriving in reasonable time. Having said that time is a very elastic concept at the moment. I'm totally relaxed about when stuff arrives. After all I won't be gigging with any of it any time soon.

It's all shut away for the night. I'll measure up tomorrow. I just went to the recommended site and chose the shortest of the two.

If you look at the long picture the rod ends exactly where the neck joins the body and the other end just about fills the allen key slot.

Don't think it interfered with the pup at all.

That was the short one
