He's doing a [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1973-Fender-Stratocaster_W0QQitemZ260168936789QQihZ016QQcategoryZ33039QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]73 Strat[/url] as well. Anyone recognise this back garden?

[quote name='ZPQ' post='71355' date='Oct 8 2007, 11:33 PM']zero feedback but otherwise might be real? What do we think?[/quote] Mmmmmmmm stinky Would that it were real but I think not. Registers 8/10/07 & immediately lists a Wal with a £300 start price.

I certainly hope not as I have used Elixirs for 3 or 4 years now & love them. I use a pick most of the time now (because of this damn RA and picking hand fingers falling over each other) and have never noticed any shedding of the coating. I find that each set stays on until I realise that they are looking a bit skanky (actually thinking about it now perhaps that is the coating shedding) and whilst there may be some small improvement in tone on a change it is not necessarily as great as I might have expected. I bought a box of 5 sets at the Guitar show 2 1/2 years ago and [i][u]still[/u][/i] have one set left. Bought a 5er set from Dr Clucks Music Emporium on eBay [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/DrClucks-Music-Emporium"]HERE[/url]. The price was OK and delivery swift, though I would worried that a bigger order might end up getting screwed with input VAT coming through Customs.

Basically one of [url="http://www.thebuttkicker.com/musicians/products/bk_concert.htm"]THESE[/url] Manual [url="http://www.thebuttkicker.com/downloads/resources/ButtKicker_Concert_User_Guide.pdf"]HERE[/url] I bought it when I started using the Bass Pod straight to the desk with no amp onstage just monitors and my drummer was muttering about not being able to feel the bass. But then he did not want to attach it to his drum throne & we never really got around to mounting it on a board to sit the stool on. It definitely works as we did fire it up once attached to a board to stand on - a weird sensation, but useful for feeling bass, or the kick on an electronic kit perhaps. Probably not really for bass players, more for the drummer in your life but you could probably use it for gaming or home cinema - though that is not what this one was designed for. It does need an amp to power it, and is a weighty beast so collection might be better. Anyway I throw it out there for anyone interested as I have never got around to using it and now have the Markbass combo to shake the room so this is just sitting looking forlorn. Web prices I can only find in the US and this model works out around £90-100 so perhaps offers close to £50 plus postage if you cannot collect -
[quote name='Hit&Run' post='65086' date='Sep 24 2007, 11:32 PM']Also, at a couple of gigs I've had to plug straight into the PA when whoever was supplying the bass amp didn't show up. Thank f*ck I had active tone controls![/quote] Been there, done that Worked very nicely.

On the Wal it acts like a DI. You have to have a jack plugged in to make it work. As for fitting it, sorry Pete @ Wal did that

Nik Curse you We shall have to advance that pint & I shall give you a lend of a live DVD. You can take my copy of his solo album along Al

What size hex key for an MM Sub bridge saddle

Cheers Nik. Sorry you got cornered by Mrs Walman in the break! But just think you could walk away at the end of the night I had to take her home and she hasn't stopped talking yet Come to that I don't think she has stopped in 30 years PA hmmmm yes Hopefully a clean loud though & that was the small rig Plugs it depends what you want to spend I picked up a set that have interchangeable attenuators - so you can set how much or little you want to cut level - from the drum bit of GAK for about £20 and I think Lee in Lick has some slightly different ones for about £12-15.

[quote name='BB2000' post='62307' date='Sep 18 2007, 08:06 PM']I 'won' the auction for the first one. The arsehole ran the same auction (different user name) in the summer. Hopefully I've saved someone being fleeced, at the expense of an ebay strike.[/quote] I was wondering at the level & number of bids. You got a bargain if its real. As for the other, what do I know - other than the levels some have been reaching recently scares me

[quote name='Rich' post='62020' date='Sep 18 2007, 07:51 AM']1st one -- all the info is lifted completely verbatim from the Wal database... smells worse than a dead fish in the sun, if you ask me. Who the hell would describe their own bass as "it's [i]the[/i] PB1839" for god's sake? 2nd one looks kosher.[/quote] Yup the second one looks OK, I am just not convinced the BIN & start prices are entirely realistic, but hey you never know

Wal Bass MK I 1981 - Item number: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290159895214"]290159895214[/url][list] [*]No picture [*]Seller has no feedback and only registered in May 07 [*]it's in Orkney so presumably no collection [*]payment by bank transfer [/list]I think I'd be inclined to steer clear, or am I too cynical? And then Wal Custom bass guitar 1984 - Item number: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170150303638"]170150303638[/url] - BIN £2,199 - Start £1,999 and it not in great nick, but he will trade for a Hohner headless (plus cash presumably unless prices on those have rocketed recently) If the 5er - which I thought looked really nice & despite what others thought of the diddy pick guard could probably have lived with that IF I had that sort of cash floating around - couldn't even make £1,800 I rather think this may be being relisted next Spring Actually there is no sublime, just ridiculous!! :wacko:

[quote name='acidbass' post='50032' date='Aug 24 2007, 11:35 AM'][url="http://www.roqsolid.co.uk/phpNuke/index.php"]RoqSolid[/url] do a large selection of quality padded vinyl covers, I had a couple for my Ampeg cabinets. They also do custom orders if you send them the dimensions. Hope this helps [/quote] +1 Just got one for the new Markbass combo. They quoted 10 days delivery. It arrived in 5. Not as heavily padded as the one I had made for the old Trace Elliot combo a few years back, but that was quite a bit more expensive. However there is some and it certainly looks up to the rigours of gigging

What size hex key for an MM Sub bridge saddle
WalMan replied to WalMan's topic in Repairs and Technical
And relaaaaaaax! I owe Pete & Kevin at Strings & Things huge thanks & a pint or two I think. Still not got to the bottom of the correct size key(though I do have one that fits & works), [i][b][u]BUT[/u][/b][/i] in response to a first email they provided a couple of grub screws at the beginning of last week, and when I found the old screws would not come out a phone call yesterday lunchtime found a spare saddle which hit my door mat this morning (Saturday) and is now fitted and working. All hail S&T -

I definitely find that it is not until I have the bass line pretty much sorted, so that it just rolls without me having to think about it, that I can start to properly get the b vox going - but as silverfoxnik will find tomorrow that is a very moot point
