...so, it does mooer for less?

I've never tried a Hondo Pro, but they do look quite nice.

🙂 Actually, the down octave on the higher notes with my Aguilar Octamizer sounds really good; I think it'll track down to a C. However, the break-up as notes decay would be a show-stopper for me.

That's got 5 more...

I can oftentimes tune a bass by ear, so if I played a G I'd get an F and it would do my head in. I suppose it'd work out if I was on one of my Steinbergers, as the strap position pushes the neck two frets away from me, though!

Cool. Personally I'd find everything artificially being out by 2 frets more confusing than either using a 5-er or an eXtender. But heck; that's me, not everybody else!

(I think I've got a couple more on things too...)

I've got 8 Rickenbackers, so a couple more for a full "Spot which Ric" test! 🙂

Hi! Here's something which you might find interesting if you read the headstock...

... but no, it's not by he who must not be mentioned! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225086014346

Gus - I'd like one of theirs (I've played @Happy Jack's which I think he acquired from @BigRedX).

The drawback of my Stomp is that I had to add 2 buttons to it (Up/Down) to make it usable, so basically it needs to grow a pair...

My Statii wish Rob well from the comfort of their sofa...

It's worth saying again: just don't do the F&F thing with people who aren't your friends or family.

I think the comments are well intentioned and orientated towards keeping his legacy going. I hope he feels some pride that people would like to see the brand continue.

Oh dear - I do hope they decide to keep the brand (and the quality) going.

Yep - I meant it'll a bonus if you can sort the truss-rod and end up with a working bass!

Fingers crossed the truss-rod can be tweaked!

So, how much is a full one?

Ah yes - I'd looked at that and wondered if any Yammyholics might be interested.

The first one I went to I forgot my rack and borrowed space on someone else's. There's usually plenty going on and one thing I tend to find is that I haven't had time to talk to everyone and see everything. I'm happy to say to folks play what you like of mine (but don't break it!), but I wouldn't assume the same of everyone's prized possessions and some say they couldn't play someone else's bass.

However, it's still worth reporting it, just so the numbers do build up.

I didn't receive a reply from the seller, so I've raised the return case on ebay. The seller replied: Hmmm - looks like they want me to replace a part. ebay then sent me this message: I'm not sure I want to trust replacement parts, so I'll look to do the return. I'll also have to see what to do about the VAT & import duties paid.
