Neck dive must be horrendous on these??

[quote name='elephantgrey' timestamp='1494415779' post='3295736'] Do and of the toneprints on the TC pedals let you hold down the footswitch to affect things/do a swell? [/quote] To my knowledge, no. And none of them have an expression pedal input either so it's a case of dialling in the sound you want and that's it sadly. Somebody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here.

Ooh what exactly is this??

Perhaps a bit of a left field suggestion but my vote goes for a TKS 1126. I'm biased since I own one but it really is a fantastic cab. There are a few others lurking here who will heartily agree with me I'm sure.

Edit:

I could have sworn I saw a photo of a pair of volume/tone dials...?

Very nice. Great work man.

Looks interesting. [quote name='Emerald Guitars' timestamp='1493591469' post='3289348'] Physics implies that an acoustic bass should be large to properly create low frequencies at a useable acoustic volume. So we have developed a completely new ergonomic shape that is 30 per cent larger than our previous model, yet feels more comfortable to play. Finally, we have created an acoustic bass with gut-rumbling low frequencies produced at a volume loud enough to compete in any acoustic jam session. [/quote] Wouldn't mind putting that acoustic volume claim to the test. I know some very heavy handed guitarists...

[quote name='BassApprentice' timestamp='1493305805' post='3287343'] What a beauty! Your search led to me to have a nosey at the Yamaha's available on the Japanese market.....Dangerous. Found a BBVIIx which has a double split P.....must resist, must resist, must resist! [/quote] I think I may have seen the very same bass you speak of. Very tasty. I now want a BB5000 in this exact colour, maybe fit a white pickguard on it so it can be the evil twin sibling to my BB1025x.

3 for me at the moment. 5 string with a low B, 5 string with a high C and an electro-acoustic 4. Just sold my only electric 4 (which was my first ever bass!) to my flatmates so it's kinda still in the family. I do have an inexplicable desire to expand the collection to include a fretless 4/5, a fretted 4 (precision maybe) and just out of curiosity, a 6. Though I think first in line may have to be a fretless as it will add a completely different sound to the arsenal.

Nice shots. Tempting me to try some nylon tape wounds, though I'll need a new bass for that

Well I guess the only thing you can do is try it and see. It could well be that they've reduced the price to shift them...but if it is some sort of pricing mistake then I don't know if I'd want to give them a heads up before clicking the buy button. If you go for it, the worst that can happen is they tell you the price is wrong and refund you your money. Whatever happens you have Amazon providing some buyer protection.

Doesn't have MIDI sync or any real modulation routing options but my TC Electronic Trinity T2 is pretty damn weird/unusual. Might be worth checking out?

seems the price is significantly higher on their eBay store - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172373634066 Coincidentally, I ordered a couple of EBS patch cables from these guys a few days ago and am awaiting delivery so I'll let you know if/when they arrive as described!

The more I look at that new matte black 700 series, the more I think Yamaha have missed a trick not finishing it in the same trans-black finish as the headstock. That would look gorgeous. I'd potentially want neck-through construction too to keep that subtle wood contrast. But seriously, the finish on that headstock looks so much better than the "trans-black" finish on the TRBX500 series...

Delicious!
