The question is simply about the size, so are those knobs 6 mm, 6.3 mm, 4+6 mm or 6+8 mm? Simply unscrew one and measure the shaft.

I bought an end pin stand for my NS WAV4 and that’s it. I haven’t bought a bass, or anything else bass related (excluding the end pin stand), since Sept 23! 😢

I realise now that I haven't bought any musical gear at all this year, for the first time in a long while.

@Si600 I gave that a go but got the same result, just a text description. Thought I'd try again with another browser, healthy reminder why I dumped Google Chrome 😃 Slower than a slow thing and for some reason it's forgot how to auto enter my password. Sorry folks this is way too much trouble just to save you going to Ali-Ex yourself, entering "Long Shank Diamond Round Micro File" and clicking the one at £1.46 👍

That's a word to add to my vocabulary, although I suspect I'll never have cause to use it.

Bought Dave’s Aguilar preamp pedal. Super smooth transaction. Dave was quick to respond and shipping the pedal to me. Highly recommended.

Well, it wasn't last night, but on the 30th November. We, Verdant Rupture, did alright on our debut gig. Went rather askew in the last song (the one about the lesbian suicide polycule*) and needs some drum reworking to fix the issues. Playing the song written in Sheffield General Cemetery, that's about the SGC, in the SGC was a thing of beauty. I'd post the link to the livestream, but the sound on that was very not good because no one was monitoring it, unlike in the room and on stage - both of which were decent. *Keira and I choose interesting subject matter.

yeah - sanding finished and just got it first coat of oil (of about ten apparently) so ... in next 3 5 month I guess. no idea. (its gonna have a Darkglass pre amp with dual coil in wooden covers)

Used to be a company that squeezed a flat 4 from Citroën CX into a 2CV , should think that would do the job

I tried a few of the cheap ones you see on Amazon/Ebay/everywhere else and they worked for about 2/3rds of a set-up. I tried to get by with those, and with regular needle files – I even built a few guitars with a zero fret precisely because that was easier than trying to get the nut right. I eventually carved and bought a set of StewMac files in 2018 or so, and they have served me well through about a dozen set-ups and six (seven?) guitar/bass/mandolin builds.

Still in, baby and not going out this year!

@kodiakblair If you right click and paste as plain text that usually leaves a link rather than a description. If you're on a mobile or Mac you're on your own I'm afraid 😉

An Aussie bloke had a thread on this over on TalkBS 😀 He'd bought round diamond files from an Ali-Ex tool store, B2 Mold Accessories, and wanted to share his good news. Now as the name suggests, B2 are a tool store selling a wide range of abrasives. Pretty important point as instead of some joker touting welding tip files to "luthiers" it's a business with a focus on grinding and shaping tools 🙂 Caused a few ruffled feathers with the Stew Mac/Gotoh crowd, especially when he countered their "Buy quality, buy once. Buy cheap, buy twice" pish by pointing out that at $1AUD he could buy 100 times and still not reach to their $105USD 😃 They cost a bit more now, £1.46 each or 5 for £2.82. For bass guitars you want 1.2mm (0.046) going up to 3.2mm (0.125). I'd leave a link but copy/paste is just leaving text 😞 Will post a follow once I see where I'm going wrong 👍

Instant Korma's going to get ya ?😆

I bought Chris’ G&L L-2500 and the transaction was flawless from start to finish. Excellent communication, speed, packaging, frequent updates on the courier. Everything as described (actually think much nicer in real life)! Would buy again and with absolute confidence.

Tragic. I love it!!!!!!

Best go to a car garage that does panel painting, it'll be as good, maybe better, and cheaper.

Sold Darren my BassLab L-Bow V, ultra fast payment, great communication, super friendly person. Highly recommend BassChatter. Enjoy your new bass, mate.
