Unfair thread! 🤣
I want every bass I've ever owned, I tend only to get rid due to lack of finances or space.
I can 'see' at least 2 more custom Shuker's that I want (not including my current build) and I want every bass I've seen on Basschat where I've thought 'that looks nice...'.
These are investments, so a return is going to be wanted. Licensing would seem to be the big earner (there are no royalties for radio play in USA), but there is a limited number of studios who can afford to pay the big money. So will every advert soon have a recognisable song?
Apologies. I was under the incorrect impression the VIP 3 was the only multi instrument amp.
Having listened to your recording, not sure what to advise, as even when I put the bass through guitar amps, I don't get anything similar 😕
if you take a combo to a gig you haven't forgotten to take the head. Which I have done.

But yes, a 500w Elf would be awesome
