No stress - think I threw my toys out of the pram, it was around the time Iris had been in and out of hospital a fair bit, stressed with work etc so I just wanted it gone. In retrospect, cutting my nose off to spite my face… Can’t wait to see/hear it fully sorted! Xx

Nothing worse than- I bought a Yamaha Attitude about 6 years ago, the dealer hand delivered it and when I took it out there were a few issues (albeit minor but undisclosed) and I’d paid over the odds to get the specific one… He was then in my house sort of refusing to leave… Really odd. He gave me £300 back. But the bass didn’t stay and I sold it for exactly what I’d paid (which made it a bargain for someone else who was beans chuffed with his purchase) Even though the bass was lovely and perfectly serviceable; the ownership was tainted. In hindsight…I wouldn’t let that poor buying experience dampen what was a lovely bass…and now they’re selling £300-£400 more than I paid so I won’t get another. But I’d never buy from that outfit again - he has about 5 different names on eBay/reverb and Facebook. Based in Scotland. It’s a shame the seller is being a cockwomble - but if there’s enough in the bass to persevere; I’d push on and enjoy it knowing it’s fully sorted…and from a resale point of view - you’ll know it’s kosher should you decide to sell on. Sorry to hear of your issues Chris - hopefully a good outcome and lots of fun to be had once it’s corrected.

Several things. 1. that’s bloody gorgeous 2. looks better with black pickguard 3. AI generated descriptions are lame 4. as with @prowla “L@@K!” Is a reason I wouldn’t buy from someone 5. I haven’t got any money so points 1-4 are not valid at all 😏

get yer ‘ammer out…always works 🤣🙄

I miss mine - wasn’t head heavy, or at all heavy…my Casady with rounds does a very similar sound…but my lord it was a cool bass.

Yeah - I’ve met him a couple of times, saw the guitar versions at the Birmingham guitar show in March. They kept the 3+3 headstock for the guitars, just don’t think the shape of the 4 aside is nice at all, shame as the bodies are nicely designed.

Oh. Totally missed the 34 Libertine?! wahooo! Boo. Wish I’d missed them. 4 aside headstock nonsense, not Shergold-y at all. bleh.

Love the look - wishing this everything short scale “thing” would go away though, I find them borderline unplayable. a 34” version comes along; I’m back interested… Weirdly, they’ve obviously bought the names - has someone else got the rights to the body shapes? Surely the Marathon is their most famous bass, why not a modern reissue? Miss mine 🤦🏻‍♂️

I tend to take guitars/basses in first, lock the car. Our drummer is always first in - and his wonderful other half sits in the car as he does this. I then load my amp in. My pedalboard is tiny and lives in my lead/strings/capo bag. In 28 years of gigging I’ve left behind a stool and a guitar stand…my own fault. An old keys player interrupted a bloke sifting through our gear once - he ran off with an acoustic bass…I’d pulled the same acoustic bass out of a skip a month earlier so I wasn’t overly wounded by that.

They did do some basses @Rich

I think the TRB headstock is quite Elegant

I keep on looking and not doing anything… the pearl white always catches my eye.

They did the rc50 - probably about another 5 versions on now…but that was like a multi looper, I think syncing the 2 separate units would be a headache…can’t fully recall but they’d need some sort of midi clock functionality to do that.
