  1. Past hour
  2. I like that idea. It's a pain to take them off individually
  3. Sounds and looks fantastic! Nice playing as well.
  4. I bought these for a project that never happened, used but in good condition, £90 £70 including delivery to UK addresses
  5. Selling this drum kit on behalf of my brother who can’t play anymore due to ill health The kit can be broken up so if you spot something that catches you eye let me know and we can work out a decent price for you
  6. I’m surprised it’s still here to be honest
  7. This bass started life as a Gherson Jazz bass that I bought off @Bass Wielder here last year I have had the neck completely refretted and levelled as there was some buzzing up at the dusty end Rerouted for new Toltec Jazz pickups, ring around the bridge pickup is to hide the previous rout as the original pickups were an odd ball size New Pickguard added and the original pots used Tuners also changed out Schaller bridge fitted Weight is 4.6 Kg's The body is just a lovely, pickups are lively and loud Asking price is about half what it cost me in total to put togeather but the result is great IMHO I will include free delivery to UK addresses

  8. Well I think you are all looking at this from the wrong standpoint. Are these professional musical instruments for the use of guitarists and bass players who wish to master the tools of their trade? No, of course not. Are they quirky outsider art pieces, charming for their inept craftsmanship and naive 'upgrades', probably destined to be worth zillions of squids one day when we're fed up of living in a world made by robots? Again, probably not, but you know what I mean anyway. For those who have seen Be Kind, Rewind: these guitars are Sweded.
  9. What's funny is that the music she's miming to is shite anyway so it's hard to get too upset about it IMO
  10. Lots of people here recommending masking off the board. Yes, I would do that, but only if the board is lacquered maple. If it's rosewood, then fine wire wool works well for cleaning up the board too. Sometimes there's a lot of gunk accumulation either side of the fret and the wire wool helps to remove it. For really bad gunk build up, then a new stanley blade, scraped very gently from the side of the fret, in the direction of the grain can help. Once done, a bit of lemon oil will feed the rosewood and make it less dry. Rob
  11. Warwick do a 6 string lefty, I think I've seen one at the bass gallery (fretless) and one on Thomann. I think ESP also do one but not sure. No idea on quality but I bet the Warwick is decent. The only six string I've had was a Brice years ago... I think if you're going six string you have to spend the money to get a decent instrument, it's harder to get round any cheaper bits like uncomfortable neck profile, fingerboard shape, bad bridge... Etc. in my opinion.
  12. They're kind of resting on each other... I probably need to add the third back panel if I'm going to keep more than three instruments hanging here. The set comes with three back panels and five hangers. They stick out almost a foot from the wall which is... Different.
  13. He said: Can’t recommend anyone personally but these came up as registered for the Bristol area. (British Acupuncture Council). So they will be 'properly qualified' and know what they are doing. They can't register without the relevant certificates...
  14. Aha! I hadn't seen that. Looks like it was published yesterday. Thanks for the link.
  15. Today I saw one of those cheesy Facebook ads for a personal fan a builder would use on his belt to blow air up the back of his shirt. Normally I would ignhore, but on Saturday the heat in the venue was stifling, especially for the first set. Most of this sort of ad are either a con or ridiculously expensive. I did a quick google and found similar products all over Ali Express, including one for under £9 delivered, cheap enough not to weep if it's crap or doesn't appear. It seems a sensible thing to keep in my gig box, just in case, plus it functions as a power bank which could save the day. There are more basic ones on Amazon for even less.
  16. If you run a length of tape up each side of the neck along the fretboard edge, you can then peel the across fret bits of tape off in a one-er... I use one of those thin metal fret shields.
  17. I’ll be trading this in if it doesn’t go today last chance at £645 posted.
  18. Re advertised with reduced price. Selling at a reduced price for limited period. Fender Musicmaster Bass 1971 This is the rarer first issue of the Musicmaster bass. This is the baby of the Fender range of this era and has a 30” scale. This early version has the smaller logo and model name with the distinctive hooked R. The tuners are original with the tulip shaped keys, later models had Schaller types. The neck is nice and easy to play, it has a lovely dark rosewood board and 19 frets. Truss rod works as it ought to and the action is low and comfortable. It also intonates very well for a two saddle bridge shorty. The bass had been modded years before I bought it and had been routed for a reversed Precision bass pickup rather than the original rather weedy sounding Strat pickup. I swapped the pickup for a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder as the fitted pickup was in poor condition. I also removed the ‘choke’ from the original wiring circuit as this was probably used to make the original Strat pickup sound darker. I will include the choke with the bass. The pots and Bakelite knobs are all original. The scratchplate is one I made. It’s rather rough but does the job. I have the original one but it has been modded to accommodate the P pickup and the original pickup cavity patched. I’ll include this of course. The finish is original with lots of dings, touch ups, crazing and darker patches where stickers have been removed. It has had a long life as a gigged bass. It looks great because it’s been played and loved. I’ve personally used this for many gigs over the last year. It sounds punchy and has a surprisingly versatile tonal range. It’s light at around 3.7kgs and very easy to play. I’m selling because I’m back to playing long scales. I don’t want trades sorry and it’s UK only. I can post at the buyer’s expense and/or arrangement. I’ve dropped the price for a limited time as I’ve got an eye on something else. Modifications aside this is a bargain price for a vintage ready to gig Fender.
  19. If you're doing it, I'd suggest putting masking tape over the wood of the fretboard.
  20. Today
  21. I have the dremel and polishing wheel as well. Might look at this as well.
  22. Keep in mind the BassThe World videos are just adverts for whatever Thomann want to sell you, stil llike 'em (particularly when Lars Lehmann is on) but they aren't objective reviews. This looks like it has a passive radiator on the back so should kick out way more focused low end that you'd expect if placed in front of a solid object, not so much if it's in the middle of the room. Can also run off a suitable power bank and has bluetooth which are very handy features for this sort of amp. Anybody looking at this category of amp that doesn't mind spending another £150 should grab the PJB Double Four with battery pack that's in the Marketplace on here though. Crazy little things.
  23. Space is always the problem, but in the end with a bit of planning, we always find a way to make it work while still being comfortable. Good luck with it all and enjoy the MOTU M4.
