This is great. I wonder if at some point you could speak to those who make their own hardware in the UK and not only promote their brand, e.g. 'featuring a high end Overwater Bridge' but also add that UK flavour to the hardware. Obviously it is all down to price and hitting a build cost you are happy with! But I personally think the price rise is very reasonable and also means you can control your QC in-house.

That is a great move. If they can make that gear with only a relatively small price increase then it makes me wonder why other brands aren't doing so....

Anything Genzler. To be honest I use my Stomp with a Headrush FRFR 1x12 for both bass and guitar. But that is only a 1x12.

I managed to get some amazing prices on brand new ordered in Musicman basses (and guitars)....for about 5-6 years. My SR5 Classic Natural was around £1650 ordered in new. A SR5 HH was £1400. These were brand new orders I had to wait for. Roughly 2014. Then my priorities changed and I realised I had more than enough. I love what they are coming out with but I can't personally see myself outlaying £2500+ on a Musicman for a while now, unfortunately. Covid/shortages/supply/demand have all added to the issues we see now. Still a great brand. No idea if we will ever see the pre-Covid stock levels again.

Off topic, but crazy to think you could get a USA Stingray SR4 for around £1000-£1300 about 4-5 years ago.

Still responding to support help on an older product - got to give you a pat on the back for that agedhorse.

These seem incredibly cheap?! £287 for a a RM-800 EVO II?! I assume that included delivery and any tax/import duty? A

It's a good move and Fodera are a very high end brand, but Mudvayne....I can't them them seriously. Along with a lot of the nu-metal era....apart from a few.

I think it's partly a joke/clever move to attract attention and show their fans of similar age that the Dad thing is cool. I personally think he looks better....I never liked that daft semi hip hop thing he tried hahahah.

Why don't they just do a Mexican take on their USA Vintage style models? E.g. classic colours like shell pink/sonic blue/sunburst in a nice non-road worn nitro finish, put some good USA Fender pickups in, and only have a gig bag. It seems a lot of the attraction to basses like the MIM Flea bass is lost...e.g. excellent quality USA pickups and a cool finish. If they want the more modern take, say the Jazz 5, don't make them active, just put great modern pickups in (USA custom shop range).

That is stunning. I imagine a lot cheaper buying direct as well. It seems like the concept of a dealer is slowly disappearing.

Damn good choices.

It's not even really a style I'd listen to much and I think the whole band sound fantastic. He is an absolute beast of a bass player and his tone is spot on. Rather this than more Bonamassa (sp?) blues boredom.

The green is cool!

Lovely!

What a load of crap 😂

It's now 2021. Emails for business are essential.

I tried a Sterling 4H that did this...years ago. It was an issue with the pickup and they had to order a new pickup.

The site needs a total refresh.

So what select hardwoods are they using now? I'm happy I don't need to buy one at the moment.

Not sure... PRS SEs and Fenders on the guitar side haven't increased as much for 2021...

God knows what the Classics will be when they bring them back...

The UK did use Strings & Things to distribute Musicman unless that changed recently.

My god!!!
