I really like it - comes in white blonde too. Stack knobs on that control plate is great. Reminds me of the blackguard blonde 60th anniversary precision.

Well clearly that's not right! The rest looks like a proper American Reissue to me though....

Yeah they had stamped neckplates on the AVRI series. In fact the current American Original series has them too. They all begin with V..

Yeah looks very much like a Korg DTR 2000 rack tuner, rather than an amp....

At each end of the brass plate are two triangular bits of aluminium called glazier points I think. They are driven horizontally in to the wood over the plate to hold the plate in place and stop it rattling around. The solder is applied over the top of the little wedges to hold them in place. You can see them in your photo once you know what you’re looking for!

The wooden block shown in your picture is 100mm tall by 40mm wide by 20mm deep. I've spaced mine 400mm apart.

Funny how things turn out. I was drilling holes to put up my Hercules wall hangers and the plastic handle of the Hercules three guitar stand disintegrated there and then, dropping two basses and a guitar to the floor. Email to them tomorrow I think. Back to the hangers. I tried one Geefix. Don’t like them one bit. A lot more fiddly to install and there is some flex in the bracket. I used these ones in the end - much happier with these. I think I will eventually go with the timber batten option and the Hercules brackets with the flat metal base.

. This thread is a review I think. Basses for sale are in the Marketplace

Just ordered some of these, they look great. I’m pretty sure I know where I’m going to drill the holes so I’m not worried about having to fill in mis drilled 25mm holes

What exact fixings are you using, do you have a link at all? thanks!

yep - 2!

Sorry I missed this! I don't have any separate high end amplifier I'm afraid - I'll look around the house to see if there's anything I have that might produce a better quality output, but I''ve mainly just got bass amps! steve

I have the V2 and was answering on that basis. I thought that's what the OP was referring to as a 'later version'. I can't comment on later versions of the V1 I'm afraid

BF cabs? I'll go check the other thread now!!

I have one. No it doesn't.

Can you tell us what you are doing and what issues you are experiencing? Given the current situation I'm assuming you're not able to test this out in a band situation so how are you setting up your equipment?

Have you got your DI out on the amp set to 'Post' and the volume on the amp set low?

Do you attach these to drywalls? I'd love to use them but that's always been my worry

Mine was also a sticky one. I cleaned it with meths. No problems since!

Not really. I don't think my strings ever hit the pole pieces. Have you got a really aggressive playing style or are your pickups set really high?

People have used clear nail polish for years on pole pieces to stop them going rusty and I don't think anyone has experienced any adverse effects? I'd assume coloured nail polish would be the same....

Make a note of that for when we can all travel again!

Slippery slope! I'd love to put a CTM on top of the 610 and listen to that. I bet it's brilliant.

Alex at Barefaced really rates the ABM600 as an amp and thinks it pairs very well with his 10" cabs.
