    Thanks! I’ll forward to our vocalist.

    Thank you all for the advice, very helpful. I think we'll end up going with the Stagepas 400, seems reasonably priced and it will do what we need. Going to keep an eye out for second hand / used, if you happen to know anyone selling in the London / SE area, pls point them in my direction.

    I’m 100% ignorant about PA’s so I apologise if this is a naive question. Is there an active PA speaker that has multiple inputs and a rudimentary mixer on the back? I’m sure a Yamaha PA at a venue I played at recently had keys, vocals and bass DI all going in directly to the PA without a mixer but I could be wrong. Ultimately I’d like to find a suitable solution just for keyboard and vocals, but if guitar and bass could also plug into the same PA without the need for an additional mixer it would be quite a big problem solver. Does something like this exist?

    Manton Customs seems to be my current favourite but there are definitely a few other great options out there - still mulling it over.

    Yeah, it’s basically the Baby Z with a more balanced body, same neck and electronics (as far as I know) which is why I decided to go searching for one back around 2019ish. It was apparently the last one left at their workshop. The quality on these is crazy, it’s a relatively ‘low’ price bass for them compared to their other models but it feels like a boutique bass, I think the only thing that was keeping them from being more expensive is the relatively simple electronics and the lack of fancy woods. There was a 5 string version too, I never managed to get hold of one of those though..

    I have an Atelier Z short scale jazz I might need to put up for sale at some point, it’s the ZPO-4Jr model (the one with the downsized Precision-ish body before they started using the Mustang shape for the Baby Z). It’s natural ash / maple, 17mm spacing. I bought it brand new, ordered from Japan a few years ago. I’m slightly in two minds about it so might end up holding on to it. It’s such a great little bass but I’ve spent a bunch of money on amp/cab related stuff this year..

    Would love to hear a sample of this!
  9. DF Shortscale
    Very nice! Pretty similar to the kind of thing I have in mind.

    Yeah, I really like his basses but I contacted him many years ago about a build (nothing fancy or out of the ordinary) and didn't get a very friendly response, put me off dealing with him tbh. Also ideally I'd like to support a UK builder if possible, partly because it's nice to support people closer to home, and partly to avoid the stress of taxes /shipping costs etc.
  11. DF Shortscale
    Fair enough, will drop him a line - thanks!
  12. DF Shortscale
    Lovely basses but his P's are 33/34/35", I'm hoping to find a 32" scale..
  13. DF Shortscale
    Looking into getting a custom medium scale precision built, or maybe a PJ, Fender-ish vibe with a few upgrades. I know Manton would probably be a good choice, are there any other UK builders that are worth looking into? Budget - let’s say £2k max. Thanks!
  14. DF Shortscale
    Yeah, me too usually! Or Feline down in Croydon, those guys do brilliant work and they’re very quick. I’d happily trust them with any bass.
  15. DF Shortscale
    Best for me was probably a Genzler 350 head. Worst was a supposedly reputable guitar repair guy who wrecked one of my basses when I took it in for some mods. I won’t mention any names but if you’re thinking of having any repair work done in the Greenwich / Woolwich area, I recommend looking elsewhere.. All fixed now but lesson learnt - use only people you really trust for mods and repairs!
