    The distance between the bridge and bottom strap button will position the fretboard close to where it is on a standard scale length.

    How nice after a week away (from home and e-mails) to see that interest in 'the One Bash that rules them all' has reached Scotland (as it happens, I'm just back from my daughter's in Dunfermline). Definitely worth the trip down from Aberdeen 🙂

    Ha-ha, don't remind me - especially given the way prices have increased since then! Seriously, glad you're still liking it.

    No problem, you can just turn up and pay on the day. Hope to see you then!
  5. scrumpymike
    Another? You mean the first! 🤐
  6. scrumpymike
    Certainly is, not least for the bragging rights ☺️

    With that 4-inline headstock and bottom strap button presumably somewhere around F15, my guess is it's a diver. Still a lovely looking thing though.

    Gold Medal Winner in the 2012 Olympics Neck Diving Competition - or the Short-Scale Body-building event event? Must surely be one or t'other ☺️ Very appealing though.

    I know, I know! I have such a soft spot (between my ears maybe?) for Gibson basses that I didn't want to complete the full character assassination of the brand 😉

    I gigged a pair of LP Triumph basses followed by an SG for years and still have a real hankering after one of these - despite the un-contoured slab body and upper strap button at F15 🙂
  11. scrumpymike
    Exactly! Proper period authenticity, including the 4 holes left over after everybody removed and binned the individual string dampers 😊

    Never been a fan of distressed finishes though. Does any of the other Mustang variants have the same spec apart from the finish?

    I'm heading (herding?) in the same direction...
  14. scrumpymike
    Had one, sold it on here - big mistake 😐

    I've had several SWB1 basses. Very nice but the neck dive was too much for me.

    This is exactly how the amp was for me before its journey down to Riki.

    Offered in excellent condition looking fresh, clean and new and working as it should. Includes a very good Roqsolid cover incorporating a removable hardboard panel in an inside pocket that protects the grill. For those unfamiliar, these 600W single 12" driver cabs are compact, lightweight (around 10kg), highly efficient and sound great (no added sound colouration). Price does not include delivery so either buyer collects or we meet at a mutually convenient spot for handover (I'm near M5 J25).

    Wonder if this could be Riki's problem. I never sit a valve amp in direct contact with the top of my cab just to be on the safe side.

    They say misfortunes come in threes. Riki's first was a rattling on his initial try-out that turned out to be case screws apparently loosened in transit; his second is this start-up problem. Riki, please don't let the third (and final?) one be an electric shock. Only kidding, thanks for your helpful comments Dave.

    Hi Riki, just picked up on this, and really sorry to hear that you're having problems with the R-400 you bought from me. I had an intermittent start-up problem with this amp shortly after I bought it a couple of years back. I took it to my trusted amp tech Pete, who contacted Leszek and got a mod back from him. Pete did the mod and the amp worked perfectly for me during the rest of my ownership. The symptoms of my fault were different from yours but I mention this a) in case it may be helpful to other R-400 owners and b) so you know that I can put you in touch with an amp tech, who now has some prior product knowledge. I hold HandBox and Leszek in the highest regard and was seriously considering a W-100 as my next step. I'll do whatever I can to help you sort this out and am just going to ping you a PM.

    Aguilar AG 4J-70 pickups and OBP-2 pre came as standard on my Vox Starstream A2S. Sensational set-up IMHO.
  23. scrumpymike
    Leo got it right and anything that tries to look different tends to have ergonomic issues - except this of course 😊
  24. scrumpymike
    And replied.

    Yep, we all know about Sod's law. Bad luck Dave!
