With the shotgun on standby? 😂 Jk but at least they're not Warwick

Ps: Hofner violin basses suck! At least he played Rickenbackers. 😂👌🏻

Is that the guy from Wings? 😂 Funny guy, met him briefly (and his entourage), probably because there was an event on at LIPA, which is a rarity as he's very rarely in the 'pool or the public eye. But didn't mention the other band he's in or his bass playing, mostly as I'm not a fan tbh. Regarding his music, he's a great song writer, undoubtedly. I'm not a fan of the bass lines though, nothing that really challenges my technique or gives me any enjoyment playing. If anything, I consider him more a vocalist, pianist and guitarist who writes accompanying bass parts, the same way he would for drums. Basic. Overall verdict, overrated? No, I'd say he does his job very well and a very cool guy, I hate him for it 😂

If only you had a beast of an iPhone, we'd have a few things in the bag 😜 So what's the functions on the electronic board then? Also, how much did this cost overall? I appreciate it's a custom job but food for thought for when I win the lotto 😂

Is that an open invitation? 😉 Think I need a holiday to check out that new surf green beasty. In relation to the topic, I love these amps, The RM heads and combos are fantastic little amps with a whole lot of versatility, a blank canvas for you to style how you like without being limited to a specific 'sound'. The cabs are nice and light too, at least to some of the gear I've lugged around in the past. Like the above, a blank canvas for you to stick any amp through and have a great cab that'll sound great and serve you well. For me personally, I like the ABM line, solid cabs that are built to last year's of touring (slightly heavier though!) and cones I'd say rival Celestion speakers. I'm a fan of the vintage sound with my CTM100 and ABM 4X10, I'm thinking of getting a 1x15 ABM soon enough to complete my rig.

Do Fender look at their own specs? I've seen a few things out of the box (guitar and bass) that have needed a slight tweaking. As @thodrik says, a few catalysts to consider, if you've got a lighter/heavier gauge than what Fender use as a standard could make a big difference. Set up for whatever is comfortable for yourself and as long as it all works well, it's a job well done.

Damn! That's a beauty of a bass! Not your conventional looking bass but I dig it and specs wise sound delicious (something about Tesco Finest? 🤤) would love to see a video and/or sound clips.

Some hydrogen peroxide should make your scratch plate sparkle white again, you'll find it online cheap enough and an aluminium baking tray from Asda to pop it in. I'd leave it out of the way of where it could spill/tip over, from sunlight and definitely away from children/pets. Should only be a few pounds to do, that and some nail varnish will cosmetically do the trick. The J pickup shouldn't be too hard to resolve. If it's not an issue with the knobs or wiring, then a replacement J pickup is never too much to replace these days. http://www.entwistlepickups.com/pickup.php?puid=JBX

@AndyTravis might know a thing or two here. If anyone was to know, he's the man 👍🏻

I guess you wouldn't know what to do with a Ritter other than admire it for being white and having gold shiny bits 😂

I have a lot in my junk mail but still a few bleed through to my inbox, I keep reporting spam but it's a stinky poo mail server anyway.

I was watching Joe Lycet on C4 last night with his new show, well worth a watch to stay vigilant of spam and fraudsters. Good shout though.
