Thank you, I’m hoping that if the price of these is a guidance, the base and. Saddles are also made from brass, or steel, but that information seems to have been omitted from the website. I’ve communicated with Dr Lars himself in the past, I’ll send a message when I’ve narrowed the options down. Cheers!

Thank you for sharing the track, sooo good!

I’m sure there are others like me who anguish over pretty much every purchase ever and go in to waaaaay to much detail to study all related alternatives before the wallet even gets to twitch. So, I don’t think there’s any piece of music gear I have ever regretted buying. Maybe some items I had to get in order to make do. I built my first ‘big’ bass amp and cabinet as well as a distortion “preamp” because they simply weren’t reachable for me financially at the time. Maybe that says a bit about the kinda buyer I am? I dunno! (Obsessional, massive nerd, hashtag bass4lyfe ya had yahda) If there was ever a bass that I didn’t think I’d keep falling in love with though and that was actually the first page I tore out of Bass Player Magazine and stuck on my wall in a Wayne’s World “She will be mine” moment. Took me years to finally get round to buying one and I use it pretty much every day!

I’d listened to the track and I now I have an insatiable urge to strut through town… 😊

Wow, I’ve just been checking out the website and the other pedals on offer. They offer some really interesting products, I’d love to hear those 4 compressors!

I’ve just been recording a review of the EBS Runsten. It has isolated outputs that can be configured for 9, 12, 18 or 24V as well as being able to deliver enough current to power a Neural DSP Quad Cortex alongside other pedals. Worth a look! https://ebssweden.com/content2/accessories/ebs-runsten-multi-dc-power-supply/

Hey helllooo ‘chatters! I’ve been searching the internet to see if I can find an old bass bridge replacement that came as standard on my Fender Power Jazz Bass Special. It looks very similar to the Gotoh 404, https://g-gotoh.com/product/404bo-4/?lang=en so this could be a modern alternative, but I wondered if anyone has seen this style floating around anywhere? On the subject of Gotoh, I wouldn’t be surprised if they OEM’d parts - actually fairly sure they did as the FB30 tuners they have available are a like for like replacement for the tuning keys on all of my Japanese Fenders. I’m after two of these bridges in black. If you have suggestions for alternatives, I need low profile types and, like these bridges, quick release versions. I’ve been through the usual contenders from hip shot, babicz, the Quan clones and the like, I’d love to find something that has a steel base plate and brass saddles. I think I’m asking too much!

Funnily, I was just looking at cheap replacement bridges and noted a comment on one of the budget brands that despite having an all steel base plate, a customer found that several they bought all evenutally bent too easily, so maybe worth buying in to a decent branded example.

The H4 has a greater headroom too, which would be good for noisy bands.

I've also just shot a full deep dive video review for Bass Gear magazine about this incredible product too:- https://asiaudio.com

I recorded this video ages ago but have since upgraded my solution. When I get a moment to finish it, I'll get a video up online as it's really rather good! My system and the 3DME below offers huge advantages over having microphones on either side of the stage and I love using them both.

I think quite a few bassists here play drums too. I used to but the kit had to make way for children. I’d love a little fusion kit again one day. This post can happily live in “Other Instruments”! Nice kit

Some Dood from a while back rattling out a jam or two on a Cort: I think they’re cracking basses!

Yeeeeeeeees, it does make it tough to do detailed high quality video reviews for public consumption when you have to chase down technical details, lol. I’ve been lucky with most companies. One brand’s technical design team let me in to some inside information once and the marketing team may not have been so happy with that. But, I agree with you, this information helps musicians be informed and in that case I liked the product even more because I could trust the specifications. I’d like to see brands adopting at least a standard for measuring, say, true output, power handling and, I chuckle when I think about ole car magazines advertising ICE in thousands of what’s PMPO 😁

I do enjoy the challenge of making songs work without the full compliment of instruments on stage. I play (on bass) the keyboard parts and bass line for songs like Summer Of 69 (yeah, yeah, I know lol) when we’re just a 3 piece. In another band, on the subject of Mssr Adams, in a moment of pure show boating, in Run To You, my singer would lean over my shoulder to play the bass line on my bass whilst I played the harmony to the guitar solo up the dusty end. Guitarist would huddle up to for maximum on stage cheese . Sounded great and was fun to do.
