Made in Indonesia, presumably the same factory as the classic vibes? There's a few different colours, the Fender link I put didn't work, but they're up at Andertons. https://www.andertons.co.uk/fender-standard-p-bass-mn-black-pickguard--olympic-white/ https://www.andertons.co.uk/fender-standard-jazz-bass-mn-white-pickguard--aqua-marine-metallic/ I was hoping for more granularity from Fender, it's long overdue 😁 2 Quote

cetera Posted Thursday at 15:09 Posted Thursday at 15:09 Just seen this pic from the GK booth being set up..... new BIG amps, based around legacy front panels?!? 4 Quote

Dood Posted Thursday at 15:18 Posted Thursday at 15:18 (edited) I know its a small detail, but I wish Fender would bring back the early 70's headstock with the full size (Gotoh shape) tuning keys. I wanna see a nice TV script decal too, I really have no idea why they thought the newer shape looks better? Edited Thursday at 15:20 by Dood 3 Quote

Consider my interest piqued! Then my head says “you have three vintage RBs, how many amps can you play at the same time?” Then my heart just says buy one! Rob 1 Quote

Wolverinebass Posted Thursday at 16:27 Posted Thursday at 16:27 22 minutes ago, cetera said: Rex will be endorsing something else within 6 months 😉🤣 10 weeks actually. End of the financial year. Great. Spend more on an amp with someone's name on it and slightly different knobs. Neither of them will be any different from standard models I bet. 2 3 Quote
MichaelDean Posted Thursday at 16:30 Posted Thursday at 16:30 Looking at Ashdown's website for the Rex Brown amp, it is just a UK made Rootmaster. None of the specs are any different, but they've just added his name to it. Other than the initial description, the rest of the product pages are the same. 2 Quote
la bam Posted Thursday at 16:32 Posted Thursday at 16:32 Sparkle me up!! Look at those sire sparklers! Silver, black, red, blue. Love it! Quote
iamtheelvy Posted Thursday at 16:50 Posted Thursday at 16:50 MonoNeon Whammy - Interesting new pedal, or a Whammy in horrible colours with some of the useful settings removed? I'm siding towards the latter... digitech.com/dp/mononeon-whammy/ Quote

They do work as long as the bass has the flared out bits of the mini headstock, newer Hercules stands come with detachable NINA accessories which clamp the neck a bit tighter too, no issues using my EHB with my old Hercules stand. 1 Quote
Hellzero Posted Thursday at 20:04 Posted Thursday at 20:04 1 hour ago, alexa3020 said: What is this Class H sorcery? High distortion amps, just kidding. It's, in a very simplified way, a class C and a class B amp working together, giving a better efficiency at the price of added distortion, but if they managed to control the distortion, they can indeed become very powerful...

la bam Posted Thursday at 20:36 Posted Thursday at 20:36 I'm sure the quilter used to be class H Quote
