  1. Past hour
  2. Agree. I really dont think BC is the place to share ones thoughts about an event like this. Three comments? Extraordinary.
  3. I've got a very thick Morado(Pau Ferro) fingerboard on my Sadowsky Will Lee and it looks and sounds great. Apparently Roger Sadowsky is a big fan of that particular wood for fingerboards, describing it as sounding warmer than maple or ebony but tighter than rosewood. To me, the biggest difference I can hear between fingerboards is whether they are lacquered or not rather than between different woods, but I'm sure there must be something in it.
  4. So, try as I might, I just can't get I with the slab body. This is Allparts trans butterscotch telecaster bass body, with the aged (rosewood fretboard) neck sourced from USA. Gotoh tuners already fitted too. The pickup is Bloodstone UK. All assembly and setup executed by my luthier, who made the natty thumb rest too! Although I bought the ferrules, the holes are currently capped as I didn't really require string though. It's lightweight and dead cool, currently strung with GHS Precision flats. Can ship. Trades maybe!
  5. Hi, No but I can record some when I get home.
  6. Nobody Butt Me - Michael Bublé
  7. This has been lying around for ages from an unfinished project. Finished in sonic blue nitro, a few dings and scratches which fit the nitro look. it’s a quality body, these cost around £200 without the finish. Will fit standard all parts etc necks. thanks
  8. The white tapes I used are the light gauge ones sold for Hofners. Those are so bendy I actually had to be careful not to knock the strings off the edge of the fretboard. I guess the black tapes are somewhat stiffer!
  9. Bought this for a project which never got done. its a Squier PJ body weighing only 1.8kg. In a nice Inca silver/gold finish. there appears to be two sets of bridge holes, I wonder whether one was a factory alignment error…either way, the holes are in the correct place and the ‘extras’ are covered by a standard bridge. looking to get something near what I paid for it which is £70. Will ship at my cost. Can chuck in the pickguard for an extra £10. Thanks
  10. Quick question - what/who is HW? I've not been following the thread well enough and can't find the origin of it......
  11. Sphincter the bottom - Fountains of Wayne
  12. Kid stuff. When in college my bassplayer (I was lead guitarist, sorry...) asked me to design him a no holds barred cab to house three fifteens. I modified the Jensen Imperial folded horn to fit them. It stood some 6 feet tall, 3 feet wide, 2 feet deep. He made it from 1 inch MDF. We never knew how much it weighed but it took all five of us to lift it in and out of his van. We named it 'The Hulk'. 🫢 Entwistle would have been envious.
  13. Just a quick bump for this. it will continue to run until 01/07/25. hope this is ok? X
  14. I'd definitely buy this if I hadn't bought the lovely Bryant from @bassace six months ago!

    This is sad news. I live in Bristol but I'm from Northumberland so I've frequented the Bristol and Newcastle stores a fair bit and I've spent thousands in both. Jack from Bristol and Gareth from Newcastle both recognised me and made me feel right at home and were helpful but let me get on with trying stuff without hassle. I'd favour buying from PMT over ordering online and the guys always gave me a good deal. Popping in to have a look and a chat (and hopefully buy something if finances allowed) was a proper nice treat for me and will be sorely missed. Newcastle also lost the iconic J. G. Windows store which was a shame as it's been there for many, many years. My very first bass was bought there 34 years ago (Aria Pro II ZZB Deluxe, used one for my 16th birthday). I'm heading back to Newcastle for a few days next after not being up there for a year or so and a trip to Windows and PMT were going to be a highlight so that sucks that both have gone.
  16. I’ve been having difficulties posting pics , but I’ll try … [url=https://postimages.org/][img]https://i.postimg.cc/CKzG7hcb/IMG-1277.jpg[/img][/url]
  17. It far exceeded my expectations, I can only imagine what the bigger brother can do. Last year I was really struggling for car space, what with the double bass and the Mrs's drums, but after a bit of replanning I can get my larger Markbass combo in now, although it lacks the higher end detail that this little marvel has to be fair .
  18. To be fair to them, if I order say a bass on a Sunday it`s usually out for delivery on the Thursday. The DHL balls up the final bit of the delivery!
  19. Why does it take longer? Logistics. Thomann are a pan-European supplier with a level of instrumentation-supply that (for instance) Andertons or GuitarGuitar can only dream of. I can't honestly imagine how much kit get shipped here weekly, I'd imagine it's mind-boggling. They likely ship enough product to the UK to warrant everything going into containers rather than simply going out on an individual basis, so as @BigRedX has said, Thomann are likely have enough power to assign UK shipments leaving their facility on certain days of the week and coordinating with FedEx/UPS/whoever well in advance of that day to book freight slots to get it to this country.
  20. Oh my god, that is gorgeous, I could so do with one of these right now for a bunch of gigs I've got coming up.
  21. Hi all, Here we have my Fernandes Gravity 5x. Bought last year as a back up to my Warwick, but now being sold as I'm trying to move away from 5s and am looking for a different sound. There's not a lot of info out there about these, as they seem to be quite uncommon. It dates from 2008 and is made in China. Twin single coil pickups with vol, vol, tone. Simple as it gets. Tonally it's got a quite aggressive sound, the twin Jazz pickups are really high output, with a really punchy sound. You'll note the front pickup is moved towards the bridge compared to the usual J/J set ups, definitely gives it a funkier, mid-rangey sound. The tone pot is effective all the way round, giving a wide sweep of different tones (and a really funky rear pickup sound). B-string was the biggest surprise for me on this bass. It's very taught and defined, better than many other basses I've had at 4/5x the price. It's in 9/10 condition. It recently had a brand new input jack installed and plays very cleanly across all frets. A nice first foray into a 5 string for someone, or a great reliable, good sounding backup. Weight is a lovely 3.9 kg. Collection from Moreton in Marsh, which is located on the Oxfordshire/Gloucestershire/Warwickshire border. Will happily meet up within an hour's drive for handover, or a bit further for a small petrol contribution (purely due to the low cost of the bass). Thanks for looking!
  22. https://thebassgallery.com/collections/bass/products/yamaha-bb1025x Just so you're aware Steve.
  23. Just remembering my JBL days. A pair of 1x15 cabinets each housing a K145. These were topped off by four TL style cabinets each housing a K120. The rig was incredible and sounded even better. Load in and out was very tiring though!
  24. These kinds of lists provoke discussion. For that reason, I am all for them. They are a bit harmless fun.
  25. @AMV001 a subtle take on a 4003 from HW:
  26. Had this for about 8 years. Light use with a few scuffs. Sat on a board for a while and used as a volume pedal so no longer has the rubber feet. £30 inc. postage or collection from Telford. NOW £25 POSTED Tar! Alex
