From what I gather they like their ‘Workshop’ limited runs, and separately, also seem to change out their lines fairly frequently. That said, I don’t know enough about Ibanez to know about yours i’m afraid. I did note that you can’t seem to buy a stock BTB 4 string anymore?! All 5’s and 6’s. Si

Snap, my '71 P has 760FL's on too, such a great combo! Si

Cheeky little SR300E in Iron Pewter on the way, found one for a good price. Also ordered some La Bella DT54 strings, so it should sit down in C# nicely. Excited to explore some METAL with it for the first time in about 10 years . I do wish they made their Iron Label SR in a 4 string, that would be great. Si

Wish they did the Pulse 2 in gloss though. Everything else is great, but that finish is just going to get trashed pretty quickly for many. Yes one can 'be careful'......but at some point, that won't be enough. Si

Each to their own, but you say "basic", I say "well thought-out and minus all the guff you see on many amps nowadays". Si

Very excited by this! Slightly smaller than a Markbass head, but Trickfish voicing (Mike Pope heritage I believe), and just all around nice bunch of people! https://www.trickfishamps.com/shop/bullhead-mini-500/ Really want my hands on one asap!! Si

So don't buy it Si

Skyline 55-64’s have been discontinued for a few years have they not?! Could easily order a US custom though. Si

Ah, part of the modded 55-01 club I see ☺️ Si

Bartolini, end of! Then change the pickup to Barts too haha Si

Sign him up to a heap of magazines and junk to that mail haha Si

Working at an MI company that is probably half the size (if not smaller) than Fender (assuming that Gretsch is in no-way autonomous as a brand), it’s VERY difficult to believe that a spec change wouldn’t include the same stringent checks on product page details and copy as we go through. If that process has failed, but it’s a simple oversight, I wonder if it still makes them somewhat liable to supply all who have purchased (who care) replacement humbuckers should they admit to said oversight. If they admit to purposefully misleading (which they won’t), then it’s severe brand sentiment damage. Either way, not ideal, and most likely why they’re taking some time to respond. Si

Might I ask what your process was for stripping and polishing the enclosure? Also what switching have you got going on for the circuit? Thanks Si

Only when I first started. Lowest I got down to during the last few years was 3, which was actually quite enjoyable. Currently at 7 and they all get used for various projects and/or recording. Si

Very cool, Lakland make fantastic basses. Love the look of this one too. Si

Thanks for that, really helpful. Noted on the bridge, I imagine that might effect me due to the low tuning. Cheers Si

What is the general consensus on the (relatively) newer SR300E basses? With the Powerspan pickups. I'm looking for a cheap but solid bass for a metal project that might happen (ie looking to reduce outlay if it doesn't happen). I'll be using it for a drop tuning, like drop C#. Thanks Si

Eugh, I really want a Eurobolt 4 in black!! Might have to settle for a Legend or maybe a Rebop if I can find a used one. Si

"Correct"

Yeah I did a tour of the workshop in person back in 2015 when my MG Standard 5 was nearly ready (I got to see it on the rack waiting for hardware and pickups etc). Can confirm that everyone was as accommodating and great to chat to as they come across in the video! Really great company. Si

Yeah I didn't go because of geography, 4 hour trip each way wasn't going to happen I'm afraid. Si

@Andyjr1515had some I think?! For @Happy Jack’s recent neck build. Si
