  1. Past hour
  2. Just a quick question - what's the string spacing? 😀
  3. I am a bit late to the party unfortunately. I will add though ….so much voodoo around the subject of bass bridges. On Fender style bass guitars, the original bridge works very well. If you are intent on changing out for an expensive one, I would advise against it. A good compromise is the Gotoh 203B….a nice low priced bridge, albeit it does have the extra fixing holes at the front which I think is slightly annoying. It is also thicker, so you may need a neck shim? It does however look the part still, but with good adjustment.
  4. Not having done a deal on BC with the excellent Gareth since 2013, I thought it was about time! So I bought a pedal and - as was the case over a decade ago - everything was splendid!
  5. Dire Straits, Dire Straits. Sultans became such a classic I think it possibly overshadowed how great this album is.
  6. I have a Musima bass identical to this and it’s done best part of 70 gigs a year, chucked in and out of vans, left in hot cars, humid places, etc and it’s always been rock solid and sounds great.
  7. Here's a picture of the official tool No, I never had one, I fashioned something out of part of a binder clip, as explained in this TB thread: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/yamaha-bb-series-tuner-adjustment-tool-i-just-made-one-that-works.1440391/
  8. For Sale my Sire Z7 bass guitar bought it new from Andertons a few months ago no gigbag never gigged it, but it plays and sounds great i am selling a few bass guitars at the moment It is a lot of bass for the money and very versatile UK sale only and collection only might be able to meet up Regards
  9. To add...you are flagging quite a problem in the UK. 30 years ago I was a big fan of valve amps; things like Bassman 135s were dead easy to fix and valves were still plentiful from non music suppliers. Acres of space internally with big simple components that were built to cope. I've lasted the last 10 years using GK700rbs ( s/ h value £200-250) with a class D mini amp ( MB200) in my gig bag. I think that's my philosophy, a mid value great sounding amp as a main amp and a small back up. I also dropped on some backup boards from Polar Audio on ebay. I don't know how much faith I'd have in any newly made amp given the miniature consumer grade electronics within. From having worked in a QC dept for a non music related company, I know how products are rushed onto the market prematurely.
  10. Black leather dye, forget the make but a search should throw it up. @NancyJohnson did a post about it a few years ago and I tried it - worked a treat.
  11. Hi...any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I have owned the above bass for about a year but the tuners although having an ok reputation? Wilkinson's are not great, they are sticky and jump. The web says they are WJBL200...and although my bass was bought brand new, they don't appear to be quite the same. Maybe there was a supply issue at the time of manufacturing? The upshot is that I'd like to change the tuners for a decent brand, Gotoh, Schaller, Grover? if possible. My problem is when I try to find the exact footprint/ screw hole combination that fits with my bass, I can't seem to find a match. The closest I have found according to the dimensions given, is the Grover 142. it looks a fairly close fit, however the dimensions of the narrow end screw holes for the 142 are 17mm, whereas mine measure 20mm. I don't have a problem filling or drilling new holes, but I don't want any previous holes visible with the new ones fitted. It's very difficult without having a 142 to try. Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution please?

  17. The board has now got the inlay done.
  18. I didn't have a great time with them getting my ABM 300 fixed. We got there in the end but I'd imagine you'd have more luck with current production items. This was 10 years ago. I went back to GK ( who's amps I've always preferred the sound of) and tried to have backups and scruffy donor amps for spares.
  19. You'll need to tighten up the collar which is between the button and the body of the tuner - the bit with the two small holes in it. The bass would originally have come with a specific tool for that, but if you don't have it then you can fashion something with part of a bulldog clip. On the phone right now but I will get on the computer shortly and find exactly what I'm talking about, pictures etc.
  20. ETS Tuning Fork Bass 5 Big (brass material) Rounded chrome, 18 mm strings spacing. Beware that the saddles were modified by a previous owner to go lower (but are working perfectly as is for standard B to G tuning, or you can interchange them to go lower on the treble side, or turn them upside down to start from fresh). The shining chrome bridge plate is new and has never been fitted, only the satin chrome saddles were modified. It can be used for stringing through the body. Check my ads. NO TRADES!

  21. Looks good
  22. If you can stomach the poor quality of the bevel routing....Looks like something from an Aliexpress seller! @Cornwall Steve You can try Zenmarket as a 3rd parry shipper (plenty of YT reviews and How to video on importing guitars using their services) Using something like Zen can save you a few Hundred £'s over the 3rd party ebay/reverb sellers, doing so will shift the postage risk to yourself, for example using Zen and surface shipping i can get a BTB865SC laned in the UK for about £700 'ish, 3rd party reverb/ebay sellers want £700+ for the same bass without shipping/VAT/Duty inc....so buying from them would give a landed cost of about £1k...but in doing so they take the risk of it getting damaged/missing in transit...risk/reward GL
