A Giraffe G42 stand will sort you out, can be set flat or tilted back. I used mine with a head/cab and had no issues: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/giraffe-g42-deluxe-guitar-amp-250482422 I also used the Ikea stands when I switched to the Markbass wedge cabs, very useful things.

Seriously though imagine walking into crack converters and seeing one of Mark's basses just sitting there, you'd have to give it a quick play.

Good spot, it's always the little details the forgeries can't get right. On further inspection it seems like the neck and body might even be from the same bass which definitely rules it out as the genuine article

All the control knobs are the same colour so I don't think this a genuine PCGC unfortunately, probably one of those cheap copies from AliExpress.

A used Sire V3/M2 or Cort C5.

Pink Floyd can't really be a thing without Waters and Wright, although I think in this instance the name is just being used to bolster fundraising which is obviously the right thing to do, it's evidently working.

This might be a candidate: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334115606954?epid=26048641719&hash=item4dcad791aa:g:fWMAAOSwLQlhevEM Only snag is the listed dimensions don't specify if they're internal or external so the 29.5cm might be cutting it fine.

I think someone on here bought the 5 string version, said it was very good but then sold it pretty sharpish. May have misremembered all that!

Expected this item to be located in Cologne, Germany from the pictures.

I use a small TC head and a 1x10 cabinet for making noise at home, I prefer that over a small combo as I can just take the head to rehearsals and use the provided cabs which means less for me to carry. Most of the time just practice via headphones and a small USB Mixing desk. There's someone in the classifieds selling Ashdown Mi cabs for £150 each with nice covers, a friend of mine pairs one of those with a Warwick Gnome and loves it.

I used one of the generic metal cases from B&Q when I had a LMII. Best thing about buying cases from B&Q is that you get a free hire of one of their tape measures when you're checking the fit!

Love that GT, somehow manages to look like its own thing despite being incredibly derivative.

Basically a Korean Cort with Duncans in, watch out for people overpricing them because they have Fender written on the headstock.

Basstheworld Cort demos with Rene or Lars ususlly give you a much better idea of what the instruments can do.

A Hofner is probably a terrible choice unless they want a specific sound and are happy with the limitations of what can be done on the instrument. What sort of music does she like to play?

Cort also do a Junior version of their Action bass which is 30", I would expect that to be very lightweight:

Scale length is probably going to be the deciding factor, my daughter is a tall 11yr old and 30" is ok for her. An Ibanez TMB30 might be a good shout, they do some nice colours too.

I use a TC BH250 for taking to rehearsal rooms with supplied cabs. I chose it over other heads as it has an inbuilt tuner, mute function and also the Toneprint feature so I can have onboard compression, all of this means I can be lazy and not bother setting up my preamp pedal at practice! You can pick them up used for £100 - £120 usually. There's also a Markbass 250w Blackline head in the marketplace for £150

I seem to remember it being explained more recently in more depth but can't remember who by, may have been Alex or BFM. Essentially embelished on that post in that the class of the power amp isn't particularly significant.

🤣 The extended upper horn, think they were known semi-officially as Longhorn and affectionately as boner basses!

Ya got the "boner" Jazz? There was a cream one of those in my LMS a few years ago, really nice bass.

I think she was a bit misleading there. Markbass LMII is class A/B and that's no more loud or "hefty" than it's class D successor,

If you like the Hohner preamps from the Korean Cort models then I have one I can stick in the post. It's from a Hohner JJ Pro and has the mini adjustable gain pot on it. https://i.ibb.co/kDtStZ7/Hohner-pre-1.jpg https://i.ibb.co/R9yfSS1/Hohner-pre-2.jpg
