It's an interesting subject, I've answered based on my past experience. One thing I'd mention is that the current questions make it hard to explain a position like mine, where I had problems with pain in the past but they've largely cleared up now.

Mmmmm. Blond Leb.

I'm tempted to start a rival band called Gentleman Jam, but I would get into trouble.

I will definitely give it a proper go when I get home, thank you for the suggestion.

I've swept everywhere, it's gorne. Thankfully no magnetic powder or swarf around. Good tip for cleaning up though.

Hi Phil, PM sent. Mike

I've not heard the term "cheese head screw" before. I shall now attempt to use it in polite conversation as soon as possible. Postage is more than the screws, but the total is under £8 so I'll probably get some.

Quick update. Still not bought one (as I bought another double bass). Now I'm just waiting for a few mre gig bookings before buying one, but it would have come in handy last week!

A double whammy of a weekend in the first half of October. We’re coming to Frome before returning to our new adopted home town the next day.

If your band name happens to be "Lady Marmalade" then you definitely need this case..... Rhino cases 4u flightcase, shock-mounted with a 2.5cm layer of high density foam sandwiched between the outer shell and inner rack-mount frame to reduce transmission of vibration to your precious rack gear. Very rugged pro quality, built to take a life on the road. So not light. I bought this (on here I think) a few years ago for £50, but never used it as I sold the valve amp I'd bought it for. Definitely well used, but no cracks or issues; lids fit and remove smoothly. Rack-mounting frame both fitted front and rear. External dimensions (lids on) in cm: L: 57, W: 60, H: 29 Internal aperture dimensions (lids off) in cm: L: 40, W - 48.5 (i.e. standard 19"), H; 19.5 Free for collection only near Swansea, stickers and logos no extra charge I've also got a Castle cases bass guitar flightcase in good nick somewhere that I'll also be listing as free, will take pics when I find it

Here is a link to a very Handy Mustang Bass guide from Talkbass Forum! May be useful for you Stang owners. Will. https://www.talkbass.com/wiki/mustang-bass-strings-links-tips-tricks-things/

Well, the fact it was being pulled across by the tuner wouldn't have helped - taking the A string off the tuner so you could get a straighter run would help, or even putting it onto the D tuner to get a true representation. And if you get a B string, by whatever means, before taking it anywhere, you could see if the B fits in the nut as well which would save you 25 euros plus postage.

The latest bit of wood is bought and drying in preparation for a future build; a lovely bit of Lebanese Cedar that smells gorgeous.

I don't think you have a legal leg to stand on - see https://johnpye.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/John_Pye_Auctions_TC.pdf section 7. Although unlike Gardiner Houlgate, they don't give you an option to request a condition report. Gardiner Houlgate say for any mains-powered electrical item "*Please note: Gardiner Houlgate do not guarantee the full working order of any electrical items. Do not assume that this lot or any other electrical item is fully working. Please ask for a condition report before placing any kind of bid", which I have done for various items - a typical report for an amp is "This item is in good working condition. No pot noise or crackles."

Also a Subsequent 25. Modulation into delay into reverb. Nothing else that beast needs. The Canvas line injector serves some good utility - the effects here are stereo, so it gives me a stereo out to the desk, but also lets me sum to mono via the thru for on stage monitoring or if I just need to rehearse with a bass amp. I use this on the tabletop next to the synth, not on the floor.
