Robert bought a zoom B1Four from me. Great communications, payment in advance of our curbside meeting. Top BCer! Sam x

Oh my word, I imagine she is going to love it! I've one in weathered black but the purple calls (shouts!) Sam x

Welcome to BC @yangtze2000, I play short scale (I entered bass playing with a ubass and find longer scale lengths hurts my back and hands ... cause I'm old!) and have a GSRM20 and GSRM25. Very happy with both! Build quality is good for the price, tho the pickups are not the best ... one day I'll probably upgrade to EMGs ... but they are not awful so I continue playing with them. I did try a TMB35 and found it had horrific neck dive, not sure if the TMB30 does. The only drawback I find with the GSRMs is given their 28.6 inch scale length there are not many strings that suit. Trying them might be an issure as I am not sure there are many (any?) UK stockest who carry them in store, but if you buy from a decent online store you can often return within 30 days if you do not get on. Sam x

+1 - I've also one of each and love them. Sadly neither in pink! Sam x

A bass perhaps? Sam x

Fender do one at £1 less than your budget. https://www.fender.com/en-GB/squier-electric-basses/other/limited-edition-paranormal-rascal-bass-hh/0377107556.html?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwk6SwBhDPARIsAJ59Gwf-Sw-3f8h2VW0e20Kp3kiW_UQ9CwxI-kz44XbA8PijWVR76Th3Fw4aAjfsEALw_wcB Sam x

Nice find! It seems to be http://www.rexbass.com/2017/04/1984-aria-pro-ii-wl-wedge-bass-review.html Sam x

On the Zoom website they list an EU and UK version, apart from the power supply I cannot imagine what the difference would be. Sam x

Fair question. In my experience ... Newer tends to mean faster (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law) - allowing for better tracking, more sophisticated IRs, longer signal chains, using more complex plugins in signal chains, reduced latency. OFC most of these things would also require s/w changes. Sam x

Mute is a cool idea, but if at the end ... if other pedals are active, such as octave/chorus/OD, can the tuner still get a good lock on the tuning note? Sam x

Way out at the front of the pack for me is Valerie. If I never hear it again it will still be too soon! Sam x

@dan-horro, nice ... but you need you edit your post and upload as a jpg or png or only Apple users can see it. Sam x

Let It Go - Idina Menzel

In my OP I shared that I'd messaged an open jam group ... "A few weeks ago I posted a 'I play bass, can I come along' ... the response was 'We already have a bass player' 😕" I found another jam group to play with. A week or so ago the original group approched me, their regular bass player was going to be off for a while (possibly permanently) and would I be prepared to fill in? So trounce off or go for it ... option 2 for me (I love to play any chance I get) Awaiting setlist for the next monthly 'jam' Sam x
