MM Stingray 62 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) I think the new PH bass would of looked better with these knobs on. But I don't think you can get them anymore that's my only criticism so nothing really. I've been playing it again today it sounds fantastic in passive or active mode. I think a few of my basses are going to get very dusty. Edited December 8, 2020 by marleaux62 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Maybe followed by Oxford and Cambridge?) And I say that as someone hailing from a Midlands city with double the population of Manchester. So from a marketing perspective it kinda makes very good sense. Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast, York maybe even St Andrews would probably be before any sizeable midlands urban centres...

What did you use to do that Mick? I was going to lemon oil mine just because I felt that it needed it but darkening would look good aesthetically.

MM Stingray 62 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I always use this but if it doesn’t make it dark enough I mix it 50/50 with raw linseed oil. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, what have you got (obligatory pics required, of course!)? Yes of course, late 80s BB300 (not entirely sure of the exact year) and a 1979 BB1200. The BB1200 specifically is why I'm pretty hesitant about getting a BBPH. (Sorry for the slightly blurry photo, my cheap phone's camera isn't that great). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a large pocket at the bottom inside it’s black fur it also has a Velcro neck strap. Identical to the ones that came with my 1024x and 1025x. Didn't have any issues with dimensions. Both fit well and are decent bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that a number of folk don't seem to have any issues with the dimensions of the gig bag - maybe it's just me and @dannybuoy who found them a little tight. I'll get a picture done with mine in later: my recollection is that it was very "snug" i.e. the top of the head was pushing against the fabric and there was no space in between i.e. another 1cm at the top would be perfect just to provide a little more cushion. No dispute that it's otherwise a very nice gig bag. And obviously the hard cases for the NE2 and P34/5s are also very nice indeed, although heavy!

MM Stingray 62 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I agree the bag is a little bit snug at the top but it does the job. Personally mine will probably never get used I have a Mono Vertigo gig bag that I use all the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Stingray 62 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Totally agree the best gig bag I've ever used not cheap but worth the extra money IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
