  3. Stub Mandrel
    I used to take a bass and a 50W combo on the bus to rehearsals... before I passed my test.

    Done. Incidentally as my problems are chiefly arthritic, they improve with playing. I didn't mention an issue I used to suffer... numbness in my right hand a hangover ftom mostly resolved carpal tunnel syndrome caused by my right wrist rubbing on the edge of my desk when using a mouse. A supportive mouse pad now prevents issues. They can return with extended bass playing, but a wristband prevents this.

    This is a great bass and I'm quite tempted to get it back! The original preamp was great but I missed the fact it didn't have a passive tone control, the same way the main Sadowsky preamp has. The RSDs preamp is basically the same but doesn't have the VTC which is quite critical to the Sadowsky sound. The glock preamp cam well recommended as a cheaper option to the Sadowsky as money was tight at the time. It's clean sounding, nice and transparent and a versatile preamp that really supports this bass.

    I've been looking around for a compact yet more substantial case for my Anagram and came across THIS case on Fleabay in the UK. I have no connection with the seller but thought some of you might be interested in it. I also wanted it to hold my MVave midi pedal and the Anagram power supply. It seems well built with the only drawback being the inner foam which is a bit flimsy. I'll be changing that out at some point. Here some pics of my process to fit the Anagram etc in it.

    Nitrocellulosic finish will wear almost as fast as no coating at all, prefer some polyester or polyurethane finish, I had this done on a few fretless fingerboard and it was really fine.

    I’m not 100% sure that nitro coating, even several layers, will be tough enough.. I consider fretless fingerboards consumables so I’m not worried about maintenance or eventual replacement (though it might take a long time to get there) - maybe it’s worth a try. Any experiences? We might look into some resins or poly instead but I’m not sure what’s readily available and easiest to work with.

  20. Hutton started following Hiscox returns?
  21. Hutton
    I am delighted to hear this news. I just hope the re-launched product is going to be as good as the U.K. case. I think I can remember Hiscox saying that they weren’t going to have cases built outwith the U.K. as they wouldn’t compromise on quality. I’m assuming they are happy with the new product as being on a par with the original cases.

    I've been using rounds on my fretless since 1987. OK I don't play it very often, but it still hasn't got significant wear.

  24. drTStingray started following Roundwounds vs Flats for Fretless
  25. drTStingray
    I have Ernie Ball cobalt flatwounds on both of my fretlesses (4 and 5 string Stingrays) - I can’t afford the luthier costs of the repairs to the fretboard damage inflicted by roundwounds - however they do sound very good - but definitely not that much better than decent flatwounds……

  27. SickBays started following Bruce Foxton and His All Star Band tour 2026
  28. SickBays
    Great news to hear Bruce intends to perform live again during early to mid 2026 after previous anouncements about "stepping back" from performances in late 2024. He's looking good when he mentions the tour in a brief Facebook reel: facebook.com/reel/1281577059782350 Detail on the band seems v sparse at time of post so if anyone can share some info it would be appreciated - especially about the other musicians in the All-Star line-up. Thanks

    Its sold, to me :). great bass and unreal neck. Pick guard was just random piece but yes covered the cable route.

    The wiring is finished! Last night I wired up the master volume, and I've just now finished doing all the heater filaments. I had put the tag strip with the heater balancing resistors next to the pilot light but that turned out to be stupidly inaccessible for all the connections I had to make. I moved the tag strip to a better location and got to it. I'm a little way from plugging in though. Next session I will compare the built amp to both the layout and the schematic, and buzz out all the connections with my test meter. Then I'll think about applying power...

    Here is my fender Mex P which i purchased brand new in 2021,it's in excellent condition and it's only been played at home. I never really took to the neck to be fair,i'm more of a Jazz bass neck fan. Anyway it's not being given the playing justice it deserves so i'm moving it on to someone who'll actually play this lovely Bass. I upgraded the Pickup in 2022 to Fender pure Vintage 63 ones. I also changed the pickguard to the tort one seen here. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINALS FOR THE ABOVE WHICH CAN BE ADDED FOR £60 ON TOP. I have added the Fender specs for clarity also. The guitar can be played and inspected and picked up at my home address in Derbyshire So it is COLLECTION ONLY on this one. So it's time to treat yourself. This is a CASH ONLY SALE payable at the point of collection. The original white scratch plate is available at no extra cost if required.

    Great basses. Beautiful necks. I’ve got a Precision that I took the neck off and replaced it with one from one of these. Perfection 😁

    Picked up his Clayton Jazz Bass on a wild ride of impulsive behaviour and serious sherwood green GAS. Super prompt response, no messing about, and was really helpful throughout the whole transaction. Even drove halfway to meet me under the threat of rush hour traffic. Nice natter before we went our separate ways. Pleasure to deal with and very happy with the bass!
