How come Alcytes got a hard stare for 'The Beatles' ?

Same here, three listens but didn't find anything that dragged me in I'm afraid. Not a bad album by any means, but I didn't find myself humming any of the tunes once the record had stopped. 

As I was playing this the first time, Mrs Flup walked past and said " Its got a Kings Of Leon sound about it"
 

I can see her point tbh

Intriguing. I'm in. Looking forward to getting some Slovenian dub psychobilly with hints of samba 👍

Ah, that was last week.

Does the SHFL app have a particular 'pool' of albums that it can choose from?

Not stuck in a rut by any means, but always looking for new music so count me in too please

For me, if I click the black star or black dot to the left of the thread title it takes me to the first unread post. YMMV of course

I've got one of these, same colours and all. Excellent bass, was my main stage bass for many years

Having never had a chance to pay a Bongo, and I mean this in the nice way, what is special about the Bongo electrics?

Went on a ballooning holiday recently.....put on four stone......

Put all my dogging gear up for sale on Ebay.

Not had any bids yet but there are 14 people watching

By the look of it, those smaller tuners would foul each other when winding on

I'm looking to replicate the finish of this Tanglewood Warrior bass, any one got any advice on the best way to source the green woodstain and apply it would be most welcome -

No idea, they were on when I bought the bass

**edit** tbf thats seven years ago!

I'm happy with the sound but as was mentioned up above the price scares the sh*te out of me.

If I buy a single, I'm worried it'll sound hugely different to the remaining three, so would try something else if I could find something that hurts the wallet less

Looks like they might be D'addorio 'Helicore Orchestra'  strings according to @jrixn1's link

Sure can

I have an NS designs EUB, the NXT4 to be precise. At the weekend, whilst setting up for a show, the G string snapped. I wasn't even on the stage at the time, drummer shouted me " Dave, you're not gonna believe this..."

I haven't the first scooby about EUB strings, so any advice before I take the plunge welcome. I play both pizz and arco, and favour smooth flatwound style strings.

Am I better off replacing the whole set or finding a single? I've no idea what the strings are that are on it at present, they have different coloured silks (green, black, gold red) and gold/brass coloured ball ends

The scale of the instrument is 42", how does that compare to a 3/4 or 1/2  size acoustic bass? Confused

Purchased a jazz neck off Marshall in a pain free, straight forward and above all else, quick and easy transaction. Thanks bud, top stuff

Two of these rather splendid little things, and considering there were only 24 made, I own one/twelfth of the worlds stock 

Here we have a 1st generation  Sire M7 4 string. I had this up for sale once before, but took it down as I was using it. Back to not being used now so back up for sale it goes.

Anyone who has played one of these will confirm that the pre-amps give a bewildering array of options, and this model is also equipped with series/parallel switching for each pickup too. The bass itself has a really nice feel, good neck and nice action.

Blemishes, ive done my best to photograph them. There is a couple of small dents near the battery box, another near the jack and one more on the bottom horn at the back. Nothing too glaring, and certainly not 'roadworn'.

I'd much rather this was collected from near Axminster, I do travel around a bit for my various works, and am willing to meet if someone wishes within reason.

Here for sale is a Spector Q5 Pro 5 string in very good condition. Korean made model, to a very high degree of quality, as you'd expect from the brand really.  Flamed maple top, 3 piece maple neck, and what I assume is a rosewood fingerboard. I'd love to be able to tell you what the stock colour on this is, its a very dark smoky grey, not quite black. I can see a hint of green in there too, but my good lady tells me I'm wrong so it must not be there. 🤔

Cant see any visible dings, there's a sort buckle rash line in the middle of the back but it hasn't scratched the paint/lacquer.
 

I have to say I'm a little perplexed as to why I don't play this more often, I picked it up to put it on the sofa for photographs, plugged it in to check electrics and then lost an hour, it plays rather well. A good range of tones from the EMG pups and circuit, and the active boosts really makes this pump. Anyway, I have far too many basses, and certainly more 5 strings than I need so it's up to be rehomed.

Weight on my bathroom scales is 4.5kg.

All in all, a very nice bass that deserves more attention than I'm giving it.

I'm based near Axminster for collection, or I can arrange a meetup somewhere as I'm all over the country with my band at various points. I'm not fond of posting basses, but not against it either, and have packaging if that's what you'd prefer.

That scratchplate! My eyes! My eyes!

SOLD

Very, very nice Andy
