They certainly look better than the Hipshot bridge in my opinion but both being a vast improvement over the 3 point. I put a Hipshot on a Thunderbird and even with my clumsy efforts, I managed to get a much better setup. I'm muling over putting one on my Ripper but I'm wanting to keep it original and to be fair, it plays really well as it is. But those JC's are lovely!

A really handy little amp what with the tuner. I've only used mine for home use with the 1x10 cab but yeah, nice tones and the comp is great. Plenty loud enough to drown out the neighbours shouting and screaming! I'll be taking it to the NYE gig as a back up but now as the band is rehearsing in a much smaller room, I might leave the EBS at home.

That was much better than I was expecting it to be. Admittedly I was only listening on my phone and yeah there’s moments of oddness but blimey.

Thought I was having a bad year but nothing like OP's. We had to cancel a few gigs thanks to me breaking my foot but we were not out of action for too long. Here's to a better 2025 🤞

I think they should be more clear on where the item is being shipped from. From the web address you'd be forgiven to think it's from the uk so a 48 hour delivery wouldn't raise any eyebrows. Saying that, a bass I bought from a Reverb seller (London) actually came from Holland! I was worried at first as I thought there might be import and tax charges etc. But all was fine in the end and it surprisingly arrived a few days later. I've not bought anything from the EU since Brexit so I'm not sure on anything like this. So yes, I'd be annoyed too as the ad is misleading in that respect, unless they actually can deliver from Holland in the given time.

Defiantly back and possible ears!

We tried out a new rehearsal room last night, another local social club as our previous venue wouldn't put the heating on again and believe me it was absolutely freezing. It's pretty obvious that they don't want us there anymore as messages to the manager about it and paying extra were ignored. So new venue was a nice little function room with a small stage but there was only a thin partition wall between the hall and the bar. It seemed a bit uncomfortable at first, even playing much quieter we would have obviously been heard by the customers drinking there. Also, the gents toilets were accessed by the side of the stage so we were regularly interrupted. Only the drums were on the stage so chaps off for a pee were walking through the rest of the band to get there. I think we'll be using it again as it was a nice little room with a better sound than we had before, plus the heating was on! They seemed pretty decent there and enquired about booking us in the new year. We'll just have to get used to the setup and the fact that our rehearsals are a little more 'public.'

There’s a 300 on eBay and not a million miles from me but I’d guess that they are well over 40kg. I don’t need another stay in hospital!

That looks great after all those years. I’d love to be reunited with my old Combo 300. Doubt very much that I could lift it now. I struggled with it when I was in my late teens!

Very nice 👍🏻 One of these is definitely on my 2025 GAS list! Wish I never sold mine a few years ago, big mistake that I still regret.

Warrington pub gig where for around 90% of the evening was played to my poor wife. Poor lass sat there in complete boredom, on her own! We played a ‘party’ set as we expected it to be a lively pre Christmas Saturday night and wanted to do something a bit different and have a laugh with the audience but sadly not. Left feeling genuinely sorry for the venue.
