Mr. Foxen

If no-one else bids on that I can just about afford it... Yeah, so those suck, I mean, really, a lot.

Best I've had was a Washburn MG70 shredder, cheap cause it was encased in grease and all the strings had popped out the locking trem, so it looked a state. If you are worried about missing it, get them to put it aside, and take a card, hit up the internet, you can phone and cancel.

Someone in london has to go there and try one.

My housemate (the her of a couple) told me a hungover morning after that he had got up and apparently intended to take a leak in the corner of the room into his acoustic, and looked pretty grumpy when she shouted at him to stop. My Wishbass smelt decidedly herbal when I got it, and full refinish sorted that.

Its pretty much like a 5 string, without the confusing, the cheapy 5 set I got to try out suffered from slack B syndrome, that is common, the elicir set on my new BC rich sound pretty even, although being very second hand they are dying. I'm itching to steal the Dean markley tapered set of my unplayed Peavey, but it wouldn't have a good set on to demo to buyers then. Might have to score some more. Course the other root is some .50s and tune to D, got some Ken smith strings on the way to try that, the open D will allow more goat throwing while riding the root. When I was drop tuning my guitar, I just picked up a guage hevier low E to even it out.

I have been on the look out for [i]months [/i]and can't find anywhere that stocks them. The Grolsch ring-pulls don't work half as well! If anyone's got a couple of them spare I'll paypal you the cost of a bottle of Grolsch in return. elom[/quote] Bars have them, the sort of bars that are overprice and full of a-holes generally. I have a ready supply, being an a-hole and all. That last part isn't true, I had to persuade my teetotal housemate to have a bottle so I wouldn't have to spend a second drinking time in that bar.

I defretted my first bass, when I got a wishbass years later, it sorted me for fretless, so I refretted it as a skills project. Came out OK, never play it either way though.

I was gonna bring my pedal to get you to sign it, then I realised you already did.

Wind your string further down the tuning peg, so the break angle is greater.

I'm using that tuning at the moment, band plays in drop D, didn't like the slackness of downtuning a step, so took the BEAD route instead. I found I only had just enough adjustment in my bridge to get the intoation on the low B right, although I'd never play high enough on it for it to matter.

I bought 3 sets of Ken Smith Metal Masters from the states, via a luthier mate, who posted them to the guy who runs a band message board I moderate, who gave them to a German I know who was on holiday there. Soon, she will post them to me and I'll let you all know if it was worth it. Worked out at about £30 for 3 sets.

Looks like it will need the neck alighnment sorted out.

Does the string sound ok when you aren't plugged in? That will tell you if its your bass or your rig. Heavier strings is always the way to go.

I have a black widow speaker you could totally buy to load this, if anyone is interested.

I just won, sent you an ebay message about sollection and paying. I have such great timing with moving house, just bought a 4x10 too.
