Is it for a Bowie fan?

As nobody has been mentioning it yet, there's the GSS 06B400 Mini Bass Amp coupled to the dedicated intelligent Lithium battery pack. Not cheap, but excellent sounding and certainly one of the best with 12 hours of playing time. Here they are: https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/gss-06b400-mini-bass-amp-c2x15043753 https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/gss-7s35v2-intelligent-lithium-battery-pack-for-guitar-sound-systems-mini-bass-amps-c2x18346407 And the carrying bag too: https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/custom-padded-bag-for-gss-06b400-mini-bass-amp-and-gss-08gcxxx-guitar-cab-c2x14812542 There's also another thread about the subject here: And another here:

Also add the fact that after a certain age (which seems to be the average age of people here 🤔🤦🏻‍♂️😂), you hear absolutely nothing above 8 kHz... FIrst thing to do is have an hearing check and you'll be fixed (but not fixed at the same time) about that tweeter you can't hear.

Put a higher value capacitor. 😉

Congratulations @Kev ! It's a beautiful and excellent bass too.

Wow, it looks really beautiful 😍 !

There's a fretless version for sale in France at a very decent price. https://www.leboncoin.fr/instruments_de_musique/2236782373.htm

I just sold it today...

Go for the Boss Katana 110 Bass, it's what is replacing the Roland Cube models, you won't be disappointed at all. And in case you didn't know Roland and Boss are the same company. I know it's twice the price with the almost mandatory Bluetooth adapter, but it's a real amp compared to the crappy toys you've tried.

It's a 20 years old "digital" stage piano with semi-weighted keyboard, but for £80 you can't go wrong as Kurzweil is still a leading brand in that domain. Here are the original specs: https://kurzweil.com/sp76/

You're right @Burns-bass it's another stupid April fool's day joke. 🤦🏻‍♂️

It could be Alfonso Johnson too...

It reminds me of the numerous farewell tours of Chris Rea...

Ah ah ah, I forgot the mandatory stupid April fool's day joke. 🤦🏻‍♂️

So A.I. is just a bunch of clichés...

The price is quite high @Linus27 ... as expected. https://www.fktaudio.com/articolo/the-fretless/

Really superb looking bass. Congratulations.

Don't need but want!

That's indeed a real broken wrist position...

Here is my newly acquired Leduc BD3 fretted bass, bearing serial number BD3 060 A, so an early model from 1981, the tenth BD3 bass made in Fresse-sur-Moselle, France. It has a quite unique Canadian red maple neck through (only 100 instruments were made with this quite rare wood), a Macassar ebony fretboard with small Fender type frets and a bone nut, and two wings of French alder. Look at the continuous integrated ramp that became shorter after 1982. The scale is 33 inches. The pickups are the 1981 original Seymour Duncan Hot Jazz Bass (SJB-2) and Seymour Duncan Vintage Precision Bass (SPB-1), alongside a classic passive path (volume, volume, tone). The bridge is the excellent and original 3 points brass Leduc CG3. I changed the original Gotoh GB-7 for some very lightweight Res-O-Lite to totally avoid neck diving and replaced the original strap buttons by Dunlop Dual Design models for personal commodity. I, of course, kept the original parts. The total weight is now 3.960 kilos. I've put some DR Strings Legend Flatwound 45~105 on it as it was fitted with different brands of flatwounds when I got it and sounded nice (this certainly explains the lack of wear on the frets too). And these strings really serve this very bass: instant Motown on the neck pickup, terrific Jaco/Magma/Fusion on the bridge pickup and excellent scooped tone for chords or melodic progressions with both pickups on. So enough talk...

Tolerance in this domain is 10%, so no problems @fleabag.

But, sadly, they are totally unavailable on this side of the pond.

Wow, lovely!
