First dibs if you wish to move it on please 😍
-
Hmmmm. When does this week officially finish? 🤣
-
Rumour has it the new amp and cabs will finally be announced/released this week.
-
I know. I keep looking at it, and wondering if Mrs Mert will notice it appearing 😅
-
I keep considering these and then pontificating too long when they come up for sale on here! The daphne blue is my favourite - enjoy

Nordstrand Acinonyx short scale, Surf Green - *WITHDRAWN*
Merton replied to PTB's topic in Basses For Sale
Well this is testing my ability to hold firm in the gear abstinence challenge 😅 -
I’ll join you. Christ. It’s given me heartburn. No, I don’t know how either, but it definitely coincides with listening to that 😵💫
-
The GR Dual Pre offers the same as those amps but in pedal form… https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/GR_Bass_Pedals.html

I will! February, of course, is another matter 😀
-
I absolutely LOVE this. It’s pretty close to the next ACG spec I would love to have made 🙂

Anyone From Birmingham Know Joanne Taylor Shaw ?
Merton replied to Bluewine's topic in General Discussion
The drummer in one of my bands supported her a few years ago in one of his other bands, said she and the whole band were all lovely people. I wasn’t jealous at all* *🧐 -
Ooooft. Lovely. No funds sadly. -
The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
Merton replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Yep. The black one at the bottom of @meterman’s post almost came home to me last year as I had a friend in Argentina at the time 😅 -
I’m pretty sure it’s when the final money changes hands and you get the instrument. For example I have a bass arriving this year that was paid for last year; it doesn’t count. If I’d started a build last year but was only paying when it arrives this year, I’d be out. if this Shuker build has only just been kicked off with a deposit it’s possible it may not see the light of day until 2023 so you may still be in on a technicality….. maybe 😃 @bassfan can come along and advise soon I’m sure 🙂

The bitsa looks great, I wobbled over that one too!
-
What is it? This is now the important detail! 🤓
-
Personally think the “standard” Zoot headstock doesn’t work with the body’s aesthetic, a modified version of the original reverse one for straight string runs makes more sense to me. I like it, it’s the sort of 80s throwback shape which sells it to me 😄
-
Yep I was going to weigh in and say that it’s very highly regarded over there. The Faital Pro drivers are hardly cheap and cheerfuI expect.
-
Oh my 😍
-
I'm still in! It think I might make at least half year before failing, but we'll see...
-
ON HOLD Barefaced Gen 3 Super Compact - *SOLD*
Merton replied to andyneeds's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Great cab, great price. Tempted myself but I don't need it at all, I'm using their Two10 instead -
I love a matching bass/rig, that is classy AF.
-
How do I tell my wife I just bought another bass?
Merton replied to Rayman's topic in General Discussion
I’m another lucky one, Mrs Mert has two horses to worry about. If I spent as much as she does every month we would of course be utterly flipped but if I (slightly more than occasionally) fail in my quest to complete a year in the Basschat Gear Abstinence Challenge she doesn’t bat an eyelid. -
An update from Fred at Peavey over on Talkbass….: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/trace-elliot-design.1521151/page-2#post-26008218

Aguilar Nordstrand Delano Haussel … probably others too, but these are the ones I most recently researched
