Really enjoying online teaching with some post graduate & international students at the moment!
-
Yes. After reading through a few times and again not seeing any names associated with each review or article it does seem a bit suspicious

Received my copy of Issue 1 today, Nothing you wouldn't find online but nice to have something in print. A few adverts here & there from the usuals but seems decent. I've heard a few murmurings around where they are getting the basses from to review from a pal who's been in contact with them but nothing solid. All the images from the reviews are stock and funnily there's no names attached to any of the articles either.

They are nice, sound great too

Recently purchased two covers from them. RRP for the 2 - £98 plus £10 for the printing. Very robust feeling and great padding. Equally as good as or better than the Aguilar ones which are now discontinued. They do feel that they could take a good knock and offer good protection with the thickness.

I'm out! Technical term is biffed it I think? Aguilar Cabs & TH500 Had to pay some nominal fees & percentage of the actual cost of the RRP

I am very proud to say I am now an endorsee for Aguilar Amplification! A huge thank you specifically to Pete from their UK distribution Barnes & Mullins!

Can’t wait to see it! I know we’ve discussed the spec previously & it’s going to be an amazing instrument

It's arrived! I've made a a separate NBD post over here

It's here! After a little wait & as usual, exquisite luthier work by the team at Overwater Basses & continued support. We have an Overwater Custom J5 Fretless with a few custom options. 35" Scale Walnut top & headstock facing Swapping out the bridge position J pickup and dropping in a Musicman pickup. Added passive tone control (as usual for myself) Luminlay sidedots This bass was specced & delivered very quickly for a specific tour to start shortly this year. It was commissioned due to the need of a 5 string fretless bass for quite a few tracks. Have two fretless basses in my collection already - 1976 Musicman Stingray & an early 1970's P Bass. Both four strings so not ideal for the job. I would like to send my thanks to Kirsty, Martin, Chris & the whole team at Overwater Basses for the amazing basses they make daily & for the continued support from the company also. Full Specification - 5 String 35” Scale Length Neck - Standard Bolt On One Piece Maple Straight Headstock with Walnut Veneer Fretless (24 fret neck) 46mm Nut Width 18mm Bridge Spacing Plain Unlined Ebony Fingerboard Luminlay Side Dots Body - Swamp Ash Walnut Top Electronics - Active Overwater 3 Band + Passive Tone Control Pickups - Overwater Jazz Single Coil + Musicman Humbucker Locking Jack Hardware - Overwater Bridge Hipshot Hardware in Black Satin Natural Lacquer Finish

Can anyone identify these tuners I’ve just found. I know they’re Hipshot Ultralight's but not the exact model

@Rich cheers!

If it helps it was set in motion back last year haha
-
What counts as Unsolicited/Unprompted? for example if it was from an amplifier company themselves as part of a deal for instance & I reached out to them........maybe?
-
I'm holding strong so far.... but out of interest & entirely hypothetical of course 😏 - If someone was to be given A full amp rig (two cabs & a head) but would only have to pay postage would that still be within the rules?
