    Anything with an Aux port really. I think that the best solution would be something like the Zoom B1 Four. Plenty of options for amp sims, plenty of effects, aux input to plug in an iPhone or other audio source, and a headphone out. Reasonably priced too. https://www.gak.co.uk/en/zoom-b1-four-bass-multi-effects-pedal/924373 https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-guitar-pedals/bass-multi-effects/zoom-b1-four-bass-multi-fx-pedal https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/190828347808008--zoom-b1-four

    The UniTune was discontinued a while back.

    As much as it's a PITA, it does pay to shop around if you know what you're after. Google is a big help.

    I've already had mine built. The only thing I didn't like on the build was the pickups, so they've been swapped out. The knobs it came with weren't the chickenhead's either.

    Since the COVID lockdown, bugger all... I only really listened to music when I was in the car going to & from work, but since March, and working from home, I just haven't used the car very much at all, so my music listening has dwindled. Of course, in my younger years, just like everyone else, music was a huge part of my life. These days, it's simply getting the opportunity to get the chance to just listen to something. Don't listen to the radio much, most stations play music with a very heavy rotational playlist (current Top 40), full of talk shows, adverts, or have name presenters that are more annoying than their playlist.

    And if only it worked

    Shouldn't it be "How much advertising material can SBL send out during one of the competitions?"

    Haven't played an Ashdown AAA, but any Ashdown 300w 2x10 combo should be worth a try if nothing else. Solid amps, solid sound, and if anything goes wrong, Ashdown should sort it out for you.

    I made enquiries at JayDee a while back, and they were quoting 16 months build time, with the explanation that there's only a handful of people working there, the waiting list for other instruments, as well as the workload for setup's / repairs etc. JayDee are not Wal, obviously, but assuming that Wal are providing a similar service with setup's and repairs, and that there's only a handful of people (if that) working there, it does go to explain the lead time.

    As G&L is a Fender "derivative" (designed by the man himself of course), then surely, a generic P or J style neck would fit it. Worth looking into before spending money on getting the neck thinned.

    One of the few things I liked about the L2000 Tribute I had... was the neck!
  15. Skybone
    IIRC, the T'bird has a Jazz width neck (38mm), the Embassy has a P width neck.

    One of my dream basses back in the day. GLWTS.

    You can still get the Fender 7150 strings, which are the Nickel Plated Steel strings (same ball ends as we've discovered).
  22. Skybone
    Thought they used different colours for different types of strings. Could well be 7150's.
  23. Skybone
    I think that they're Fender 7350m's, which are unfortunately no longer available. Fabulous strings. They were 45-105 Stainless Rounds. G is Sea Foam Green D is Nickel Silver A is Candy Apple Red E is Bronze (Gold) The colour coding matches up (referring to a partially used pack I have lying about). You have a few different choices, depending on your budget. Warwick Red Label 42200's are a great choice, reasonably priced too (about £9.00 a set). I was a long time fan of the Fender 7350m's, but as you can no longer get them, I went to Dunlop DBS45105 Stainless. You can get them on eBay for about £17.50.

    That's what I was quoted when I made enquiries into having something built. They said that they were cutting down on the tech side of the business on other makes (setups & repairs), to concentrate on just JayDee in order to cut the waiting time down. I believe that John still gets involved in the builds, but there are also his sons working alongside him.

    I was looking at JayDee's a while back, very tempting, and excellent VFM for a hand built bass.
