    Mmmmm, Could this be an opportunity to have a Sandy Pup shoot out at the next Basschat Bass Bash😁.

    Purely from a manufacturing point of view that is a nicely designed,laid out and assembled product. It's not possible to comment on the quality of the components used but for the asking price and if it sounds good it's a neat product. Thanks @stewblackfor your time and effort to enlighten us on your purchases.

    @Al Krow does the NUX receiver work fine with the Zoom B1Four?

    Totally agree with @Lozz196 Rumble 800 combo, lighter than the Rumble 500 combo due to the neo 10s in the 800. 400watts as is and 800watts with an extension cab.

    Thanks for the heads-up on this one, I too was unaware that such a bass existed. Mine should arrive Wednesday. I'll let you know what it's like when it lands.

    The current HB offerings are great value for money and use good quality body wood. Being a tinkering/bitsa building addict I've modded quite a number of HBs. In my experience neck pockets are very, very close to Fender standard necks, BUT as always there maybe a small amount of fettling ( as @neepheid said). I recently added a couple of Thunderbird pups to a HB Mustang-a-like and the quality of the adler, while routering the pup cavities, seemed very decent indeed. Awhile ago I fitted a Fender MIM 32ins 22 fret Stu Hamm neck onto a HB Stingray HH and all that was needed at the neck pocket was veneer shim on the top edge of the pocket for cosmetic reasons only. I'm sure you'll be fine. Good luck with the build.

    I have to say that the Squier Paranormal SS Rascal has some small innovative steps. The range of tones from the two wide range humbucking Pups makes it a very versatile bass indeed. The bridge Pup is 12ins from the 12th fret ( exactly the same as the SS Stingray) and delivers a very Stingray-like tone. While the body shape is not everyone's taste it does play and balance quite nicely. I would like to see a SS Squier Jaguar with the Rascal Pup layout and controls.

    Just caught up with the Royal Blood HellFest YouTube video and there appears to be the possibility of a black version of the Mike Kerr Edition Jaguar bass. ( so not so limited after all). Mike Kerr also used a Jaguar with a single wide range humbucking Pup, so there maybe more variants on the way!!! I would definitely snap up a Squier Jaguar SS with a single humbucking wide range Pup. My preference would be black with tort pickguard.

    Congratulations on your new semi, fantastic colour and huge esthetic appearance. Enjoy!!!! Would you be kind enough to share the details of the bass hanging on the top RHS of the picture?

    Or like me a Kia Soul EV. Van like capacity with back seats folded flat, zero road tax , zero £'s to run as I charge the battery from my solar panels in sunny West Wales. Oh and when the sun doesn't shine just £0.07 per kWh on economy Seven over night. WOT, Who said bassists are SkinFlints 🙄

    Well done Al 👏👏 That's a great deal. I didn't like to let on but I committed the same offence buying a s/h off here for £125.😂 B2-4 sounds the same as the B6, cleaner and more open than the B1-4. There are no cab sims on the B2-4, I only use the cab sims on the B1-4 when using headphones at home , so not really important. Hope you soon get on with the B2-4

    It seems that Zoom have released Android software for G2Four, can that Handy Guitar Lab app (£0.75) be used with B2 Four?

    This is a fantastic bass, I built it as a YOB project which turned out rather well. Due to arthritis in my left thumb I sold it to @Grezza 1 GLWTS.

    Harley Benton Mustang-A-Like OR ThunderStang with Loadsa Chrome 😂 So I fitted the second EY Parts Eric Custom Pup to the Harley Benton Mustang. Sounds absolutely awesome. Very Rock'n Roll , aggressive and great for Metal🤪 I used two over wound bridge Pups (10.5K) one at 10ins and one at 13ins centres from the 12th fret. A very satisfying upgrade project.
  19. JohnDaBass
    Are you liking it anymore this time around 🤔
  20. JohnDaBass
    Great to hear that you've still got all your fingers to cross 🤣
  21. JohnDaBass
    Thanks. The new pickguard will replace the black surround but I'm inclined to use both chrome surrounds for both Pups. I plan to use two bridge Pups and a balance pot to blend both same value Pups. It will hopefully deliver a greater level of flexibility.
  22. JohnDaBass
    The Eric Custom T'Bird Pup is not 4-wire but sounds great and a second in the bridge position is the next step. Pickguard will the same dark red Tort.

    So I missed the Harley Benton Mustang-a-like first time round but bought one when the second edition went on sale. The plan was always to use the bass as an upgrade project. The bass is a fantastic instrument, great fit & finish, lovely neck ,light and well balanced. I saw all the upgrades others had done on the first generation ( Low End Lobster etc) but the @ped , @Andyjr1515 pathway really appealed. So stage one Eric Custom T'Bird bridge Pup from EY Parts fitted with the extra black pickguard surround to cover up the wider 'P bass Pup opening. I left the controls stock and I have been amazed with the huge tone from the EY T'Bird Pup. It's positioned 10ins from the 12th Fret, the so called short scale sweet spot. Stage two will be to replace the pickguard, upgrade the controls and add a second EY T'Bird in the bridge position. The cavity for the 3-position selector switch is very generous and I may replace the switch with a balance control with a mini chicken head knob. Very pleased so far!!

    What's wrong with black body dark red tortoise shell pickguard and maple neck and fret board 🙄
