A maple top should be a feature that enhances the appearance of the instrument as well as brightening up the sound a little. In this case it detracts from the appearance and makes it look worse. I’d also try to return it. Under the distance selling act you have the right to a no quibble return. They’re talking bs.

Honestly the bang for buck in the £200-£400 range is unreal these days. You can get a genuinely decent instrument with no major or minor flaws for not much. It makes that stretch to spend more ever harder to justify. I don’t think I’m ever going to buy a mexi or us fender again. I can’t justify it.

I’ve got the 200 watt, 1x15 and it’s very loud for the size and weight of it.

Congrats. I have a cheaper BB and I’d love to level up to one of these some day. I don’t think this model ever had emgs as standard, must have been modded by the previous owner. Got any pics?

Same. I’m enjoying it. My wife played a gig with her in London a few years back and Melissa was lovely! I liked Mani’s views on slapping, although I don’t quite know why that’s crept into this episode.

How do they compare with the TI’s? I’ve got them on two basses and love them. I see lots of positive comments on la Bella strings but have yet to play any. Flats are tough to experiment with due to the cost.

I’ve consulted a pictorial guide from an old guitar magazine I cut out when I was 15 or something, but it’s no help in this instance. Any here you can take inspiration from? Or are these too rudimentary (classic rock poses for beginners)?

Reuben were a great band!

I see they sell Sandberg now, must pay a visit sometime. Thanks.

I bought one years ago when covid hit and I started working from home. It took me ages to find one where both armrests would fully swing away. This is the one I got and it’s great. https://www.hjh-office.co.uk/air-port-backrest-mesh-seat-leather-professional-office-chair.html Blimey, this was £270 in 2020!

Worth trying a new B string?

I’m amazed Scott’s bass lessons hasn’t covered this.

Looks lovely. Does Gary have the other 4? 🙂

I visited the o2 for the first time at the weekend to watch fitness panto “gladiators live” with the family. We sat opposite where the stage would be. Honestly, it felt too big. If I saw a band, I’d have to get floor tickets and get within 50 yards of the stage, otherwise I just wouldn’t bother.

Ah I can’t say I live in Crowthorne, I’m just down the road in Sandhurst past wellington college. It’s a nice part of the world, I hear Hungerford's not so bad!
