Superb instrument. Can the ramp be removed easily/ neatly? -

If it's a freely given donation then VAT wouldn't apply and wouldn't be charged. However I suspect you would need to declare this and do the paperwork explaining exactly what it you're donating, to whom and why. So yes, it would be possible if it were a genuine donation. -

Out of curiosity, is the rest of the planet free of laws re. counterfeit goods? -
I did have a BDI21 which I modded a long while ago but I can't remember if it was this exact mod or something similar. It made subtle changes which weren't bad, but it was far from a night and day difference. Fun to do if you're interested in modding and want to experiment, but people who claim it transforms it into the real deal are a bit deluded in my opinion.

Honestly, no I've not played one. We all know I don't need to though, they'll be perfectly playable and sound just fine. Cheap Chinese basses have been totally fine for over a decade, it's hard to buy a junk instrument nowadays. There's a PMT down the road from me however so I'll give one a go at the weekend and report back if I'm wrong ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If folk want to justify having thousands tied up in wall hangers and babble on about toan and the soul of an instrument I don't care and I won't wander into threads on the subject, but these won't be landfill. For those who spend more time writing and playing than fetishising overpriced coffee-table grade endangered woods these will do the job no problems, I assure you.

What's up with the phrase "bass shaped object"? It's unmistakably a bass. A real, recordable and gigable instrument. If someone actually wants to play music any of these basses will be all the instrument they ever need.

All this talk about the bass and no one has mentioned the commemorative lanyard?? I swear I don't understand folk's priorities sometimes. It comes with a commemorative lanyard, people. Instant buy.

Why on earth would anyone send it back to them for a setup if they've already "set it up nicely" and you could drive a bus under the strings? I've bought a couple of small things from BD and each time they've left me feeling that I wasn't spending enough money to be a worthwhile customer. I suspect they don't even see a £500 bass as a sale and don't give a damn if it's playable or not.

The final boss of FM synthesis... -
I keep seeing used Summits hovering around the £1100 mark which just seems hugely tempting. I love my Bass Station II and it's left me something of a Novation fanboy. I had a Hydrasynth desktop which was fun for two weeks and then the screen died, so it went back for a refund. I've seen so much anecdotal evidence of crappy QC I've stayed away from them since. I think it's a great synth for sonic exploration but if you want to be able to just pull up recognisable sounds quickly you'd have to be very skilled at wavetable synthesis. I'd really struggle to recommend it as a main instrument for a musician in a band. I want to recommend a polybrute because I really want one, but I haven't actually used one so my opinion on that means precisely zero!

Add sold to the title to auto lock it -
Elektron Analog Drive. Picked this up a few weeks back because I've always wanted a go on one. Has 8 fully separate analogue drive circuits with 100 preset slots with full MIDI implementation. Really is a remarkable thing and won't be too sad if it doesn't sell. I have however realised that most of my time is spent using a Boss OD-3 and I don't really need this many dirt options. Very clean, comes with original packaging, manual and power supply (which you will probably use, as it's 500mA @ 12v and centre positive). Slight issue with the left footswitch (preset down) being a a tad sticky . Non issue most of the time but needs a bit of lubrication before gigging because sometimes (maybe one time in ten) it sticks down long enough to trigger the long press function to go down 10 preset slots instead of just one. To be honest I didn't even notice for a week after buying it. £130 posted in the UK Payment by bank transfer -
Last Price Drop to £550 Bitsa PBass For Sale - *WITHDRAWN*

I don't think that's right, I would guess they are marked up because of scraping off an original polyester finish this body had at some point. It's a real pain to get the paint off from around ferrules like these, I've done it myself fighting the paint off a squier Tele and they ended up looking very much like this. -
Yeah, they're all combinations of amps I'm interested in with pedals I'm not ...

I was really interested by these when they came out, but they were £350 and I don't think I ever even saw one for sale. They ended up being sold off for like £100 at Thomann after no one bought them. As with all exciting pedal fire sales, I missed out entirely on the Thomann thing, but I saw one on eBay the other night for a fair price and pulled the trigger. I must say, I'm very impressed. It covers pretty much any distortion tone I could want, and seems to work as nicely on bass as it does guitar. The flexibility is top notch and the presets mean it's actually a contender for a gigging pedalboard. Anyone else use one of these on bass? I'm seriously considering selling off quite a few dirt pedals to justify keeping this around.
