Well, there y'go; you can't please all of the folks all of the time! Me, I've bought 9 Rics in my time and I've only sold one. I've got a nice '72 FG too...

Well, if people get together and also get the authorities involved then there is a chance of getting it back. It's also worth contacting your bank's fraud department and they may do a recovery; some folks had success with that in the previous scammer issue.

Yep - friends & family is a gift; as a buyer I won’t use it.

It can't be the same person, can it?

Well, if you're playing Prog you might! 🙂 But does that mean you have to organise your settings to put them near the beginning, etc.

I think they both need a supplementary MIDI controller; tapping a footswitch multiple times to step through 99 settings is not a viable method.

WhaddabouttheacousticStick????

Comes with pre-bent strings.

Oh - Essex Studios... ...no need to look further!

Anybody in need of one? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265497063205

I bought my perfect bass in 1977, a Rickenbacker 4001; I've acquired one or two more Rics over the years, just to keep it company. Sure there may be other basses which are supposedly better, but I can walk into a room full of basses and not see anything else if there's a Ric there. I do have some other brands I like (including Warwick, Status Graphite, Fender), some I like having (Kramer, Westone, Steinberger), one or two others I'd rather like in my collection/selection (Gus, BC Rich), and a couple of pricey ones I wouldn't mind for completeness but will likely never buy (Alembic, Wal). But I can safely say that I've never seen another bass I have even thought for a moment I would rather have than my Ric(s).

As an aside, I bought a Behringer Model D; the MiniMoog's layout & ergonomics are almost perfect for learning what a synth does. I didn't bond with the Future Impact and sold mine on; I have a C4, but haven't yet got into programming it (I'm hoping that I'll get real life's more pressing needs to give me some respite after this month).

Action Fraud and/or the local police.

Did you try doing octaves in your HX Stomp?

An extra string to yer bow?

Thought I'd drop in some Rics...

An alumininium one...

A couple of Thunders (is the collective a "storm"?).

I have an Aguilar Octamizer and it is the only one I've heard which preserves the essential character of the bass being played. However, for me it only works down to C on the A string (others have said theirs goes lower) and it breaks up as a held note decays. That means you have to think about precisely how you are going to use it, but it can be wonderful when it's right; you'd have to construct your song around its capabilities. I've also got an EBS Octabass (Mk 1); it's more stable but less characterful. On the octave-up angle, I've got an EH Mosaic, which is really designed to make a 6-string guitar do a 12-string, but it does interesting things on a bass, albeit slightly synthetic sounding. I've also got a Mooer Tender Octaver, which is a bit plinky, but might work in a mix.

It’s the Kramers which have the split headstock; the TB ones were closed with a “T” cutout.

Well, I know that the tuners are at the other end, but I meant the two extra frets floppy thing.

More like an Old Bean neck...

Kubicki-esque...
