    I don't believe these came in a white finish and from looking at the photos it doesn't appear to be a factory quality finish, so I'd assume this was re-done at some point. Do you know what the original colour was and why it might have been repainted?
  4. Jamieboy started following D’Addario Rounds
  5. Jamieboy
    DR Sunbeams are a pretty smooth nickel roundwound. Think I recall daddario NYXL feeling slightly smoother than the normal XL strings too (and preferred them in other ways as well).

    I note that the logos that should be on the headstock are missing, Has this bass been refinished?

    Sounds to me like a mate of yours having a laugh....

    Definitely US. This came from a parts bass made by a Sadowsky employee. No real markings on it to identify as such. The pickups were scrubbed out and headstock left blank for fear of repercussions. I still have the neck - Brazillian rosewood fingerboard, Graphtech nut, Schaller tuners.
  19. Misdee started following Pete Morgan on Parky 1980
  20. Misdee
    Those RD Artists sound amazing but weigh a ton and are a bit ungainly to play. I remember when they were new in the shops around the time I started playing and they were ridiculously expensive, much more than a Fender or Rickenbacker, none of which I could afford.

    Hi, yes it’s still available.
  24. Schlippy started following Extra comfortable/soft strap
  25. Schlippy
    Yeah the Maruszczyk straps are the mutt's nuts, the PES50 is 5 inches wide and padded, with a suede lining that helps with stability and a ladder connection between the two parts of the strap. I can't really play full scales any more after I shanked my back, but with this wee beastie I'm able to play my jazz again as long as I don't over-do it, same with my P-bass. Only downside is the synthetic "leather" the front of the strap is fitted with (you can score it by _gently_ running a fingernail along the front face. It's sturdy enough but looks kinda bobbins.

    Sone posh plugs have washers you loop the wire round. Plugs with little scews are better (if they are quality ones) because if they can be done up tight enough they cold weld like a crimp... you hear them creak or crack when undoing them.
  27. Stub Mandrel
    You can soft solder to aluminium. You need to abrade off the oxide layer, cover it with light oil (not flux), use a powerful iron and scratch through the thin oxide layer that formed before you got the oil on. It is tricky. I've also got aluminium welding rods (alutite), used with a blowtorch- mechanical abrasion also important.
  28. Stub Mandrel started following Anyone solder wires into mains plugs?
  29. Stub Mandrel
    Funnily enough I just posted an explanation of why crimping is superior to soldering. The same goes for plugs. Done up tight the screw cold welds and unsoldered is more flexible, improving fatigue life.
  30. Mediocre Polymath started following Recommendations for amp repairs in London?
  31. Mediocre Polymath
    I have an amp that could do with some tlc at some point soon. I'll keep that Dave Barlow chap in mind, though I am also far, far from Surbiton.
  32. JazzyJ started following Trace Elliot Elf
  33. JazzyJ
    Trace Elliot Elf, as new condition. Surplus to requirements. Price includes UK postage. Collection welcome.
  34. Geek99
    No, but he is capable of more than he does on most “standard” u2 records The three sunrises, for example
  35. Stub Mandrel
    Is that the one you had back in the 90s?
  36. Stub Mandrel
    Run away!
  37. Sparky Mark
    Perhaps Pino was crap back then and your friend's rejection spurred him on to become the player we all revere today. He should feel proud.
