  1. Thank you! Again, the original listing had this as rosewood, so either their listing was wrong or they sent me a newer version. IDK 🤷‍♂️😊
  2. Bought brand new back in December 2023, features all the bells and whistles you’d expect from the GK stable - 4 band EQ, contour switch (for scooped mids) and boost switch. I’ve used it a fair bit this year, but the only issue with it is something was dropped on it at some point, denting one of the rear corners. Doesn’t affect the sound or the structure of the casing, so otherwise it is in great condition. It has recessed side handles and casters attached which are easily removed, and comes with a custom made padded cover made by HotCovers. These retail for around £1100 new (without the cover), looking to shift it pretty rapidly as I have gigs pending, so the asking price is £700. I am open to sensible offers…. Selling because it’s too big for my needs. Located on the Isle of Wight, but can meet at any of our ferry ports (Portsmouth/Southampton/Lymington/Southsea) for collection. I can also personally deliver for an additional £50 to cover my ferry fare, within a sensible distance, London or an equivalent location distance wise would probably be my limit. Thanks for looking. 😊
  3. Sorted. Big fanx to @AndyTravis 😊
  4. I have PMd him but waiting for a reply…. 😊
  5. ***cough*** I have a Rockbass Streamer LX5 in the for sale section…. ***cough*** 😁
  6. Shame you’re not willing to post, I’d have snapped this up
  7. You’ll have someone’s eye out with that…😊
  8. The expense probably comes from the disposal of waste from the manufacturing processes. I’m assuming the necks are made using resin infusion, so there will be leftover resin and hardeners to dispose of - these products are harmful to the environment and as such require specialist disposal. There is usually a fair amount of plastic waste (vacuum bags, peel ply etc) which would also be classed as hazardous waste due to contamination. The charges for disposal of these materials can be astronomical so they have to be offset against the retail price of the finished items. If these manufacturers are using autoclaves to cure products then that in itself will be expensive. It removes the need to dispose of resins and hardeners but the cost of running them (gas, electric and water) will also be high.
  9. That top line bugs the $h1t out of me 😂
  10. If they bring the butterscotch Model T back (without the horrible inlays they currently sport) i.e the Robert DeLeo model, then I’m in.
  11. My first ‘Ray. Been playing 30 years, always wanted one, only ever tried one full fat US model and a couple of SUBs. Landmark birthday in a couple of months so treated myself. 😊
  12. Received my Stingray from BB on Friday. Very pleased with my purchase, arrived well packed in one of their own boxes, the bass is a beast and very well presented for a 15 year old instrument. Hats off to Will, top man. 🫶
