  1. Nowt. Not a thing. Music related or otherwise:
  2. Happy Christmas one and all..5.30, and now watching a Metallica DVD
  3. Haha. No mate. I’m as inside as a nosey neighbour - just used to work closely with Lee at Ashdown. We’ve kept in touch.
  4. I know as much as you at this point - I get the feeling a Korean factory will be making these...
  5. Sort of like Status didn’t bother second time round...
  6. The trace version has more or less a fender front profile...but it all looks a bit Dali when the player turns either way. ETS ergonomic tuning system.
  7. I’ve often wondered about some users. It’s odd.
  8. They are - the photos I’ve put on were robbed from Facebook and then uploaded here so super compressed...the blue in particular looked great. Don’t know if this helps...
  9. Rose Morris/Avon did one. Assume there were about 3 factories in the 70’s doing them and various distributors put their brand on them.
  10. I sold a Roadie 2a for about £850 a few years ago. I suspect it’s a speculative price.
  11. Haha - it is. Looks nice
  12. Says 2006 on the order form?
  13. Not sure. I’m trying to sort a shufty at them - doubt it’ll happen before Namm... Looking at cab options for my RM too so could just use it as an excuse to be nosey.
  14. Well, yeah. Just like fender “it’s the same 4 models every year, emperors new clothes...”. Damned if they do, damned if they don’t. Here’s the thing though, there are 2 familiar shapes but there are variations of short and extended scales. There’s something for the rock kids with the fenderbird, and the p/j is a bit of a quirky take on a familiar set up. So if they do a short scale Jazz type - they’re covering something fender did for a bit...and now don’t. I dunno, I’m looking forward to having a mess about with them - Hope the P is nice.
  15. Why are we 2 pages in then? 😂😂😂
  16. No, American. Chicago.
  17. Here’s a thing. Get a p, string it BEAD and see if the notes are less defined etc... or...use the smith. Or the bbne2... 😉
  18. @Al Krow haven’t you got a huge selection of basses? just choose the one with the best b string and use it a lot... if anything the last 20 odd years of bass playing has taught me in all realms from bedroom up to festivals... string spacing, pickup placement, bolt on, neck through, 30/32/34/35 scale, flats or rounds...all of the gubbins people drone on about; none of it matters... Are you comfortable, can you play it, can you hear it? Nobody in front of the stage gives a toss...literally. They think you’re a guitarist. If you play it and their bottom shakes - you’ve done your job. Dont stress about the minutiae. Just do what makes you happy - if that bass or pickup isn’t working for you; get one that does. just my 2p.
  19. If it’s staying black, it’s getting a ghostbusters sticker on it.
  20. Corrrrrrrr 🥳👌🏼
  21. There might be.
  22. Well...they were sort of fender shaped...and had EMG j pickups...But they had all funky carves and bevels... The headstock could’ve been better. I think the lack of shape to the bottom of it was an error of judgement for sure.
