  1. Past hour
  2. Yup absolutely right Lozz, though the bass doesn't exhibit obvious neck dive when worn. But those tuners are unnecessarily chunky. Annoyingly there doesn't seem to be an ultralight version of the 70s style tuners so changing them involves drilling new holes. I do have some Gotoh Resolite GRL510C12 - hard to get in the UK - and they're only 180g for the complete set. So I can lose an impressive 265g off the headstock. Worth noting though that the Gotoh clover isn't quite the same as the Fender one, and the shaft is a little shorter
  3. Look, I don't have a multimeter here to measure... but my luthier measured it for me once and said everything was okay. Regarding the cavities, I can disassemble it and send you photos so you can see if there's anything wrong. The problem is that these things are sometimes not visible to the "naked eye". The situation is really complicated and frustrating.
  4. Just had the final rehearsal for tomorrow's concert in Keswick.
  5. I'm not allowed to do 'hard paddington stares' but please could everyone look (or at least think) about whether their suggestions have been done once, twice or even three times before? The fun about this is the original word puns!
  6. actually used one of these for a small pub gig and was great worked wonders so, would recommend to anyone who wants one
  7. I’d say the reason why the Aerodyne feels a fair bit lighter than the 75RI is the difference in weight of the neck & tuners, might not seem much difference but it all pulls on the shoulder.
  8. Candy Girl - New Edition
  9. I can definitely see an obsession building. Scratch plate? Pah! That's 100g of dead weight with the screws! If I bought a large I could mill up a titanium string tree and save 3 grams.
  10. Sweets for my Sweet - The Drifters / The Searchers
  11. I don't know anything about their basses but I think when I was a Student in the early 80s, I used to eat their boil-in-th-bag curries.
  12. Bought a Glockenklang preamp from Andrew. As above, sent next day delivery, well packaged. Great comms, top notch deal!
  13. It's been a whole week so it's time for some more Dave Holland. The complete bass performance of the Kevin Eubanks tune 'The Watcher' from the 2013 album, 'Prism' that features Holland, Eubanks, Eric Harland on drums and Craig Tabor on piano. A wonderfully grungy sounding quartet with a real edge in terms of the compositions. Fairly demanding this time as the tempo is fairly quick and the lines fairly unpredictable and the time signatures are constantly moving. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/the-watcher-dave-holland/
  14. Today
  15. You are probably right, but My bank manager's too tight.
  16. I might be able to get up your way before Christmas so will give you a shout 👍
  17. There you go. Exactly the same apart from I've removed the thumb rest.
  18. I literally can't think of a better way of settling the issue! 😅
  19. PRICE REDUCTION - £25 shipped or £20 pickup in person. Hi Folks, Flyht Pro 1U Rack Drawer 27.5cm wide x 25cm deep for sale. I bought this directly from Thomann as B-Stock and had overlooked its dimensions so I immediately tried to return it to them but they just issued me a refund as it wasn't worth the environmental impact of shipping it across Europe, apparently. I didn't even screw it in once during its time with me so it appears to be completely brand new to my eyes. Nice smooth action on the drawer. You're welcome to come and pick it up IRL from Petersfield, Hampshire, England or I can ship it to you for an extra £5 (which would be a total of £25). Happy to meet you somewhere local to Petersfield or arrange a fuel contribution from you if you need it driving a little further. Feel free to fire over any questions you may have. Cheers, B
  20. Amazing, do you have any more pictures?
  21. https://www.instagram.com/mikemcclellanmusic?igsh=Y3g1aXAza2loNDZw This guy put a CV Jaguar neck on a blue one and i soooo want to do the same! Where would you source a 32" rosewood+blocks neck? I am keeping an eye out on a blue Jag now...
  22. Icing Sugar - The Cure
  23. I have one exactly like yours which I bought about 25 years ago for around £30, I think. Had to tinker with it a little to lower the action slightly but I gigged it a few times and it never let me down. In fact, I'm having a noodle on it right now and it feels and sounds really good. Definitely made in Korea, mine has a sticker confirming the fact!
