Played mine in a soul band. It was righteous.

🙉🙉🙉

Just had an email from Thomann. There's a backlog in their qc department (presumably covid related staff issue) which is delaying some orders. I have read that while their basses are assembled in China they are checked in Germany before despatch . Nice to have this confirmed. Probably explains why Harley Bentons are so consistently better than they ought to be at the price point, and always arrive in tune and set up.

You really need a CTM100 😉

Ah, ok, so seldom see one with a rosewood board!

Never tried one from that era. Do us a favour would you @Quilly don't sell it to me if you decide to let it go. I have more TE than I can ever use and need to sell not buy.

I'm glad I didn't know about not mixing cabs. Done it all my life. Well, all my bass life any way. The sound when I use a TE cab loaded with an Epifani 10" paired with a TCE 2X8 is orgasmic. Similarly 12" BF with a 15" BF. 15" Bugera in a TE box paired with a TE 2X10 also sounds amazing. Suck it and see is always my advice. What you hear, what you like is the only thing that matters. Remember unless there's a bassist in the audience no one but you really cares.

Hi, out of interest. Which ones are you going to be selling? If and when the time is right.

But when we will get ring pulls on the toast????

One thing we can all agree on; flats on a precision are like beans on toast.

I normally don't either. But on some basses the strings I like just instantly feel wrong

Definitely think about Barefaced. I run two of their 15s and they deep, moving bottom end is massive. As @Lozz196@Lozz196 also says can't go far wrong with Ashdown amps.

I have owned two Eden amps, one of which is in a combo. An 8X10 combo! They are outstanding but heavy. The tone controls seemed more responsive than anything else I have ever played through. Not tried any of their later stuff.

Now I know they're Japanese I'm not surprised!

Well this is a new one on me

Same here

Absolutely. The set I bought were expensive (everything's relative of course) which is why I got them second hand. That little sheet shank is the business.

They are open but.... the normal slick service is stumbling. I was told my order would be late as one item was missing. Then told the order would be sent in two parts because one item was out of stock - but not the same item as previously missing. I emailed to ask if I could swap the now out of stock item for a different, more in stock item, but I seem to have broken them.

Thread resurrection: Shame on you lot telling the OP to just 'buy another string' ! This is my kind of thing; inventive, creative, ecologically aware, and above all cheap. Oh and it saved me yesterday. Set of second hand strings, one already cut too short. Guy I bought them from too tiresome to talk to so I needed a cunning solution and here it is. Thank you @tommorichards (if you still exist)
