I'm just saying, it is a free economy and a person can choose to either pay the amount being asked or not. It's quite simple. And, just for the record I didn't call you a communist.

Maybe go live in a North Korea? I reckon you'd love it.

Who exactly are you calling crooks?

I'd go for a second hand one mate - they pop up quite a bit for between £300 and £350.

I play in stereo with two heads/two cabs and it works well for what I primarily do but I don't think I'd play stereo if I was playing "normal" bass for the reasons already provided.

It’s a walnut back. I’m super happy with it.

Had a huge blast with the Fodera folks picking up my new Emperor Elite 6 last Tuesday. A dream instrument crafted by wonderful people with the deepest passion.

Rothko had three bassists but the last time I saw them perform, they had two - great band - so much power.

If you're really struggling and aren't happy with what you're getting from the TH500 but still want to stick with Aguilar and funds allow, then consider an AG700.

I have: Drive - completely off Gain - about 8 o'clock (more or less pointing at the -10db button) Master - wherever depending on the room/space (I've never had to go above 2 o'clock though)

Thanks for posting this Ambient. This Saturday - bass giants Rothko headlining.

A very good read. I looked at these and I'm rather embarrassed to say that, ultimately, I was a little put off by the looks and went for two second hand SL112s.

Yes - and now you need to spill the beans.

If bassdirect, the bass gallery, etc. had that FMT, I suspect I’d buy it because it’d be priced accordingly - although bassdirect do have an Emperor II that is so eye wateringly expensive, you could buy a new Fodera to your spec and go to NY to pick it up for more or less the same money - I digress, I’ve been after that exact FMT spec for a while now and I could actually afford it but I’m not dumb enough to pay way over the value and lose a lot of money on possible future sale.

Hmmm bargain! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F153180410422

Its nice reading a lot of folks more or less have their perfect set up already and wouldn't change much. That's where I am too... I wouldn't say no to a post-2012 American Standard Fender Jazz mind.
