M-Wave AnnBlackBox is an update on the BlackBox. Key Differences and Shared Features: Version & Evolution: The Annblack Box is considered an evolution of earlier M-VAVE models (like the Cube Baby or original Blackbox), offering a more complete feature set and improved sound. Renaming/Branding: Some discussions indicate that "Annblackbox" may just be a name variation to avoid legal issues, although it generally refers to the newer, updated unit. Features: Both devices offer 80 editable presets, Bluetooth connectivity, USB audio interface functionality, and a built-in battery. Sounds: The Annblack Box is noted for having improved, more "natural" sounds and better-modeled amps and cabinets compared to earlier, more basic iterations. App Connectivity: The Annblack Box features, or is used with, updated app software for managing presets. In summary, the "Annblack Box" is effectively the newer, slightly refined version of the "M-Vave Black Box" product line. I have the M-Wave Cube baby for bass which is cheaper still and its a great little unit for the price of a Donner/Rowin single micro pedal

Lakland's own LH3 pickups. Says they are hand wound in their Chicago facility. Very nice they are too! Skyline Series 55-02 - Lakland Bass Guitars https://share.google/fuM31AkIth12LzKqc

Volume (pull up for passive) and pan with three way selector on the top row. Bass/Mid/Treble bottom row Three way gives front/dual/rear coils on the humbucker Edit: there are also dip switches on the preamp for pre-selecting the mids frequency.

Deposit paid and in stock for the end of March🙂

After selling the purple 55-02 back to Paddy777 I was happy as a sand boy to get this last week.

Other than the usual observation about a maple board being, for want of a better description, a bit more 'clacky', no not really. However, somehow my cloth ears still tell me that the pau ferro board on the JT is warmer sounding but that's more likely down to the design premise behind each bass, the Neve preamp and passive tone contol.

Picked up this 2025 NG-3 5 string in Ferrari Green. Bit of overlap with my John Taylor 5 but the different characters come through when you start turning the controls. A nice touch is the neck binding 🙂

I am after a passive 4 string Jazz bass and that finish is living in my head rent free today. I love it and currently trying to formulate a plan on how I can buy one

Bought Tim's Lakland 55-02 off him today and it's a lovely thing! He very kindly offered to meet halfway and took one of my TC 2 x8 cabs in part ex. Thanks agaim Tim. The bass is superb. Really appreciate you holding it for me. Cheers! Keir

My 1994 Stingray 5. Was originally a lined fretless but now has this 2000 fretted maple neck. Recreates a bass I used to gig 30 years ago.

I worked in a music shop that was selling Tanglewood Curbows in the late 90s - red or blue with ebanol boards, singple pickups with slapswitch and matt hardware. I definitely didn't see any Cort branded Curbows until a number of years later. Read that the UK model was initially branded Tanglewood and later changed to Cort which would explain the situation. So Tanglewood being "pre Cort" is about right from my experience even though worldwide they were likely released at the same time, just not here in the UK.

My Lionheart Air 4 string

Had the pre Cort version, the Tanglewwod Curbow in deep red finish with Mighty Mite pickup and also a Tanglewood Canyon 3 fretless which used the same body shape. Always had a soft spot for them too

Best playing passive jazz bass I've owned was a transluscent white 44-60 with plek'd neck. Such a superb feeling/playing bass. I also owned a 55-60 Custom which was a bit special also. fwiw I've never had a Lakland Skyline that was less than hugely impressive

They stay at home now but I like them far too much to sell them.

My new to me SR2605 in Cerulean Blue burst

My moonlight blue P34. Did have a 735a and was after a P35 but as is the way of things, I ended up with the 4 string. No complaints. Great bass! 8

I would have preferred the Z3 to the Z7 I had. The Z3 has the straight ahead 3EQ and no neck pickup to get in the way. I like the popsicle blue colour best but I'd have one of the sparkle finishes too.
