I’ll stick with La Bella 760FL’s at half the price! Si

I suspect there will be losses for some customers as their operating costs would have been partly funded by ticket sales….so will have been partly spent I expect. This is what I mean, they’re not coming back from this, next year won’t happen, either because they won’t bother, or even less people will engage with it and it will be cancelled again. Which is a shame. Si

I’m in the ‘hair covering the headstock’ camp I’m afraid. 🤣 Si

I’m in the ‘jacket covering the headstock’ camp I’m afraid 🙂. Si

See you all there! Si

Very cool! Si

I mean, it’s just a combination of loudness, EQ and setup no? Boosted mids and highs, a healthy ‘clank’ to your setup and attack/play style, then just let your amp do the loudness if you need more. The LH-3 is much less polite than the previous Bartolini setup they used. I actually prefer the Barts, but for ‘aggressive’, the LH-3 stuff is great. In any case, either bass will be awesome, I’m just saying don’t sleep on the 55-02, extremely versatile, quad-coil bridge pickup etc. Si

@AJC08 Sometimes I think that people mistake loudness for tonal aggressiveness. MFD pickups are indeed loud! But the Lakland LH3 pickup/pre system is equal to them tonally I’d say. So with that said, perhaps you’re looking at the wrong Lakland?! You‘re seemingly not bothered about having a FSO (Fender Shaped Object) bass, because of your G&L suggestion, so why not look at a Lakland 55-02 instead?! More expensive than the Tributes, but more versatile I think. Si

Love this, really want to try one!! There was one on eBay for a good price for a little bit, but I couldn’t make it happen in time. Si

Yeah that’s not gonna be a thing is it! They’re done, let’s face it. Si

Without wanting to be a downer, and it’s a shame that this is my reaction to this particular event…but is anyone actually surprised? It seemed like a scam from the start, not saying it was, but that’s not the kind of optics that leads to a successful pre-event ticketing campaign. Si

Yes, the original was an NPN, that’s what’s in the schematic I posted no? Cheers Si

Sorry, managed to miss this, yes that’s what I’ve heard….my electronics knowledge leaves a bit to be desired as far as spotting those things go…I should read a book!! More an enthusiast than anything. Does this look about right? Cheers Si
