I've been going through all same concerns, but I want to fly with a keyb0&rd. I've spoken to Ryan Air customer service ( yes, there are people who have that as a job title 😆), and they recommended buying a seat which is probably what I'll do when I travel next year. Don't forget you'll need to pay for assigned seating for both of you, and you'll need to carry it through the airport. Not such a big deal for a bass, but it is for a 15kg keyboard.

Cool little combo. What size drivers are those ?

Wow, that theme tune really brought back nights hiding under the sheets as a kid with a small transistor radio pressed to my ear. Terrified (totally unnecessarily) that my mum would come in. One night it was Hitchhiker's guide, the next, Tommy Vance "TV On The Radio" with The Friday Rock Show. Teenagers today have pr0n. We had Hitchhikers Guide.

It wasn't the only thing odd about that book. 😀 I was an avid fan of it when I was a teenager. I remember the TV series coming out. Am I right in thinking it'd been a radio series first ? I seem to recall surreptitiously listening to it under the bedcovers.

Or indeed. Radiant. (No disrespect meant. I love it)

I'll never be able to eat another growler....er...I mean....pork pie...for as long as I live without thinking about that...

Any 5 string with 4 tuners on one side of the headstock and 1 sticking out the other like the proverbial Friday afternoon after-thought. (Oh sh1t, where can we put this extra tuner ....) Anything above a 4 string has to be as balanced as possible.

I have a similar selection of things that could do it ( Boss BR-80, a couple of different Bass Pandoras, a Zoom multi effects pedal, a small mixer, a Roland Fantom 08 etc), but I've always wondered why it can't just be included like it is on some EUBs and acoustic instruments.

I recently went to watch a live band in a local pub. They are a pretty well known band in Ireland, never made the big time but are well respected. The bassplayer had one of those on the rather cramped stage next to him. He played a total of 4 notes on it the entire gig. But then again, at one point in the gig, one of the 2 drummers on stage was playing a diggeridoo duel with a guitarist, also on a diggeridoo. It's been a while since I saw anyone play a diggeridoo, now all of a sudden 2 show up at once. 😆 Great gig, but madly chaotic at times.

I have one, but I'm currently using it as a practice amp with a digital piano. It's never been gigged 😀 . I'm considering buying a 15 to match with it for a rather unique stereo gigging rig. Left hand through the 15, right hand through the 4x8.

Nice. I still have a very early Kingston 5 string which I took the fugly pickguard off 5 minutes after getting it home from the shop. Ive always drooled over a 535, which I know I'll never buy as I'll never be good enough to deserve it. I have seriously contemplated the AG model though and may well take the plunge one day.

So, like I said. It doesn't answer the questions.

Not really. It doesn't say where the original buyer is located or if the bass was bought directly from the manufacturer or through a shop. It also doesn't say where the OP bought it, did they buy it from the original buyer in the UK, or in Belgium?

That's certainly possible, however I do know that Thomman allow the warranty to transfer to a subsequent owner, but with a shorter length of cover. It's certainly possible that the bass still has some coverage left especially as it's still very new. It may depend on where the original buyer is located to see if it's covered under EU or UK law. It'd also be worth seeing if the original buyer is prepared to help too.

Hmmm. Not entirely sure that this is the case. I enquired with Thomann about a stage piano recently (okay, okay, I know it's the wrong forum) that I was looking to buy privately from someone local to me, but had originally been sold by them. It was about 6 months old. They said that they will continue to honour the warranty, but instead of it being a 3 year warranty, it drops down. I can't recall if it dropped to a year from when I bought it, or 2 years from the original sale, but the point was there was still a warranty. This was Thomann, but it may be the case with other sellers. It also applies in many other cases. Car warranties are transferable if the car is sold. I'd say find out where it was originally bought and also contact the manufacturer. If it was a manufacturing defect you should be protected. I would also point out to the manufacturer that this wasn't something that 'broke' it was wrong from the day it was built. If worse comes to worse, then you could threaten the manufacturer with taking them to the small claims court, but try and exhaust the other possibilities first.
