Another vote for the MXR M80+ here. Nice box, the distortion isn't too offensive should you want to use it, runs off phantom power, batts or DC and about £80 used.

They work ok G but aren't the best quality. I had a friend fit some wilkies to one of mine (he reamed out the holes) which were much better for not much outlay.

I've had a Mighty Mite neck (fitted to the last Affinity I had through my hands), rod access at the neck end and wood quality on the lower end of the scale. Definitely different to the neck on my LL which has better fretwork, a slab board and clay dots.

Not had the J but had a couple of Affinity P basses over the last few years. Forty quid is a good price. Stock hardware and pups are a bit meh but plenty good enough for casual use and forms a decent base for upgrade (I put a wizard thumper and some wilkinson hardware in mine). I also ended up changing the neck on my last one but that was only for fun.....here's the before and after.

That bass is a Cheyenne2....cracking bass, has a playable neck for normal bassists unlike the first Cheyenne which could be converted to a 5er ;-). Forgot to say K, nice purchase!

I had a Jetglo 4004cii last year and I tried really hard to love it but through my Barefaced set up couldn't get the sort of Rick sound I was looking for (always too bassy, and a bit of a weird phasing sound when both pups were selected to my ears). Ended up swapping it for a 4003 which has the sound I wanted but is nowhere near as nice to play. Pretty sure with my new (to me) MB rig I'd get the sound I was looking for now.......pity I didn't know that at the time.

Just the one blue bass.....everything else is black in my camp.

The Missouri to Texas railroad. I'm old.

HK Audio Pro12....we have a pair of these passives, much lighter than the Peavey Hysis 1s that they replaced (and much clearer and more capable too). Can't recommend them highly enough, we tried them against the equivalent cost EV offerings and, for us, the comparison easily favoured the German jobs.

Not owned an HH 25th but have played a Standard HH Ray4 in a shoppe. Daft question, but have you played it just on the bridge pup - I found playing on both pups was a bit muddy for my tastes compared to a single H ray4. Couldn't tell you if I was series, parallel or whatever mind.

Add a NY121 to add mega punch, plus some tweeter hiss if you want it (you can go from zero to full on on the cab)

Can't go wrong with the LM3 - lovely little amp. Enjoy.

I use a LM3 with 2xNY121 and it fills any room I've ever played. If I needed more vol it would be a DI job. Loads of punch and I leave the tweeters on zero.

No Twebble?

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1416163205' post='2607501'] Not really. Most estimates put Clayton's 'net worth' at $150m...which is somewhat behind Marcus Miller who is worth approx $215m. I'll take brilliant musician who is also minted over the slightly less minted hack any day. [/quote] I'm not fighting principles over a mere $65M.......

Guess this brings out the old what's best the technically superior player who is the commensurate weekend warrior/bedroom player or the multi multi multi millionaire in a global band who hacks at the bass?

I'd also be interested to know how these compare with the Limelight J's. They look very different from my LL 63J - not sure where the extra £1700 is going though if people are paying RRP.
