    I think the neck thickness has an impact on the tone - basses i've had with big thick necks sound really loud, bassy and fuller than the ones with slimmer necks. Not better or worse, just different. I know comparing a handful of basses without looking at all the other variables such as pickups etc is hardly conclusive of a wider trend, but it makes sense that more wood would affect the sound tho, yeah?

    [quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1473631288' post='3131899'] Do you play with the same drummer as I do .......oh wait........ You sometimes play with a pick. [/quote] Ha ha!

    Ooh. This thread is making me wince already. I sometimes play with a pick, and before now have gone for a massive dramatic down stroke and smashed the quick of my finger nail into the side of the pickup, which hurts a lot. I've been smashed in the teeth with my microphone many many times when a drunk clown has danced into my mic stand mid song. And I bizarrely managed to cut my hand packing up from a particularly rowdy St Patrick's day gig once - I was packing away a speaker lead which I'd gaffer taped down across the front of the stage, and as I slid the lead thru my hands I discovered the gaffer tape had stuck to various shards of broken pint glass which stuck in my hand. Great.

    I'm mostly using a secondhand LM2, a used Schroeder cab and a used Epi Jack Casady bass which all comes to less than a grand. I used to regularly gig a slightly knackered old SGC Nanyo which cost me about £100 and worked perfectly well - took some pleasure in gigging with such cheap stuff. Then again i've spent shedloads recently on other music stuff instead, which rather spoils my point.

    Bought a Gruv Gear Duo strap from Tom. Very smooth transaction, no fuss at all. Good work sir.

    Just got a Lull PJ4 weighing 7lb 12oz, and already have an old P weighing 8lb 9oz, which is enough for me. My Jack Casady weighs only 8lb 1oz, but the hollow body does make it more neck heavy than the other two tho. Getting older now so can't be bothered with hefty heavy basses any more.

    Hello Selling my Boss CEB-3 bass chorus pedal. Boxed and in great condition. Bought a while back when i had a fretless, which i've since sold. Also proved handy as a way of splitting a signal to run two heads/cabs separately. No longer needed tho. Looking for £35 posted in UK. I'll post some pics when I get home, but i imagine you all know what these pedals look like. NOW SOLD

    Another from my parts drawer - it's a parchment white pick guard from a 2001 USA stratocaster. However.... The previous owner of the guitar left the various manufacturer's stickers on the pick guard, and while the rest of the colour has aged, there are lighter marks showing the outline of a Fender USA logo etc on the pick guard in the area below the middle and neck pickup. Other than that it's good nick, with lots of foil shielding on the back etc. Hence the £5 price tag, for anyone wanting a cheap pick guard for a project or someone who's gonna cover it in stickers!

    Cleaning out my parts drawer and dug out this, which I bought as a spare for a bass I no longer own. It's a Fender USA deluxe bass bridge, with the usual three-hole fitting pattern from 1995 USA basses onwards. It has the graded grooved saddles (wide grooves for bass strings, narrower grooves for the high strings), and allows for thru body or top load stringing. Having owned both a 1996 USA and 2008 USA fender, I can confirm that the bridge will fit both of those as the holes line up the same. It will also fit post 2012 USA Fenders as the layout is the same. It's in great condition, with no wear, scratches or rust of any sort. I've never even fitted it - it's been wrapped safely in a plastic pocket in my parts drawer for at least two years. I don't know what to ask for this. Does £35 posted in UK sound reasonable? NOW SOLD

    Suwalki Blues Festival in Poland this summer. Probably about 1,500 people packed into the area in front of our stage. Got some cool onstage shots!

    I weighed all of mine the other day, as i've got a bit of a bad shoulder at the mo and figured the weight wasn't helping. I ended up selling on two of my MIA Fenders just cos they were really getting a bit too heavy for me (at 4.2kg and 4.3kg) Current crop is: Fender 1970 P bass - 3.8kg Mike Lull PJ4 - 3.5kg Epiphone Jack Casady - 3.6kg Hopefully that's my lot, as i'm skint now! The rest are six string guitars, which are all sub 3.6kg so no probs there.

    Hello, I'm using comfort strapps these days so I'm selling this one. It's a lovely Levys leather strap, that is soft black leather on the outside and beautifully smooth, tan suede on the inside. The whole thing is very supple and comfortable to wear. Fantastic condition, and has never been used with straplocks so the holes are in very good shape. Lengthwise it goes from about 43" to 52" and is 3.5" wide. I seem to have accumulated an awful lot of straps and other accessories over time so due a clear out! [s]Looking for £24 posted in UK.[/s] SOLD THANKS

    I love the flats I've got - Labellas on my old precision, and TIs on my Jack Casady. What flats are we using for a Lull? I must say I generally prefer the feel of the Labellas, but both them and the TIs sound lovely, The Lull is more modern sounding than my Fender so maybe flats will take that sound back a bit. Hmm.

    [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1472982988' post='3125707'] I think it's meant to be ironic, at least I hope so. At least it's OK for singing and anything other than rock. [/quote] Ha ha yeah I hope so! Sadly no ban on bluegrass tho...

    [quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1472981984' post='3125687'] a year or so ago we had a spate of this thing and this started appearing around town [/quote] No laughing? Wtf that's a bit repressive isn't it? Idiots.
