I have bought a lot of guitars & basses online, both new and secondhand and so far I've not had a bad experience in buying new instruments with just the stock pics shown, however when I bought my GuitarGuitar exclusive AAA Gibson Les Paul standard, GuitarGuitar listed photos of each guitar, so I had a choice of over a dozen and knew exactly what I was getting visually as well as knowing the weight (I chose the lightest one, which also was the one with the best figuring). Just to be sure it wasn't a dead lump of porridge (it isn't) and as I am lucky enough to live a few miles from the Epsom branch, I was able to have it delivered there so I could check it over very carefully before accepting it. Come to think of it, I believe most of my other instruments with a natural or sunburst finish have been bought secondhand so I was able to see pics of the woodgrain before buying. My Ben Gibbard mustang is a good example of this, it has really nice grain in the Ash where the joins between pieces are not very obvious, whereas I've also seen examples with mismatched and/or ugly grain, which I'd not have been happy with if I'd bought unseen.

My first bass amp was made by Ohm and was bought in about 1983 secondhand from ABC music along with a Laney 1x15" cab. I had a wave of nostalgia seeing a similar amp for sale on the cash converters website, however this one has a built-in compressor whereas I am certain that mine inexplicably had a built-in flanger instead of the compressor. I cannot remember the model number of the amp I owned, however I remember it looking very much like the GA140 in the listing. Does anyone else remember these amps? Was there a version with a flanger or am I misremembering?

I don't know anything about their basses but I think when I was a Student in the early 80s, I used to eat their boil-in-th-bag curries.

Can you post pics of your control & pickup cavities and your wiring? Are you able to check that the shielding is continuous with a multimeter, also using the multimeter to check that everything in the loom that should be grounded is also continuous? I can post some info on how to do this, but if you prefer to be hands-off, take the bass back to your luthier and tell him it is still humming.
