I do like the body shape! It reminds me of a cross between a Ken Smith and a Hofner.

I agree !

If this was a product a few years back I would've chosen it over the Quad. Now? I don't think it would be worth the effort or make sense to sell the QC to buy this. I also feel obliged to stay loyal to Dougs new company and products since he has helped me out a good few times over the last few years. Just please port the Darkglass plugin into the QC!

I love the amps and cabs. The 410HL is an awesome cab too.

https://www.hartke.com/products/amplifiers/tx-series-amplifiers/tx7500/ Stumbled across this last night. Looks to be Hartkes new take on the HA range but completely solid state and missing the filters. Visually the design reminds of Acoustic amps and I do like it in a very retro early 90s sort of way. Will be interested to see how it sounds. I have the LH1000 at the moment, which is a very reliable, loud and good sounding amp so unlikely to change but would be interested to check it out.

Hi yeah, thank you I was aware of that. I think between various podcasts, YouTube my bass playing mates and basschat I don't really feel the need to read a magazine anymore. I think if bass player existed and looked as if it was from 1995 then yeah I would probably buy it for nostalgia!

Just bring back the US Bass Player Magazine from the mid 90s please.

I remember doing this to mine when I had one. Took a minute to get it back together but managed it eventually.

Yeah I read about this, seems they use standard size jacks now, some guy on the other forum measured them with another cable.. it doesn't seem any tighter fitting than my mxr. I'll probably stick with using the MXR lead I have and use the monster between the pedalboard and amp

Haha! I think it's a sticker... it is I just checked

Haven't bought anything from bass direct in a while but needed a couple of cables for a festival this weekend so ordered Tuesday lunchtime, got tracking and dispatch updates quickly and the parcel was delivered today at lunchtime. Even got a free sticker and a pen that my partner was sarcastically over the moon about... she once bought me something from them and she gets the weekly email newsletters 😂 But yeah, best service yet from them! Not too convinced about the monster cable so far but I'll give a go, if I get a summer out of it I will be happy!

I would love a straight up single p pickup 5 string, natural wood of some sort maybe with a clear gloss, gold hardware. Reckon that would sound and look thunderous!

I have to say I have a weight relieved LT5 and there is no neck dive... though to be fair I don't think I've ever experienced neck dive with a bass. You're either standing holding and playing or you're not 😉 I think the CST line look great. I can take the bursts, though not to my taste but I can't stand the burl. Looks like somebody has been stubbing out cigarettes in the wood. Flame maple, quilted or just nicely figured anything but that!
