    And while we're at it, here's a Foundation fiver... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USA-MADE-PEAVEY-FOUNDATION-5-STRING-BASS-GUITAR-MAPLE-NECK-PASSIVE-TWIN-PICKUPS/131781409290?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140122125356%26meid%3D61ba2c07fc3c4726827de436c280cb44%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D131779267510

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peavey-Dyna-bass-5-string-bass-guitar-Immaculate-/182127506487?hash=item2a67a53437:g:XPAAAOSwt7pXM0ue Liverpool, £18 to ship. White. Looks nice. Sadly I'm skint... though I haven't got a Peavey fiver. Tempting.

    Nice. It's probably just as well the neck is too chunky for me, otherwise I'd be digging the hole deeper...

    That's not the first I've run across which has been made passive-only. Do their electronics tend to break down?

    [quote name='blue' timestamp='1462911150' post='3046947'] To me, if a guy has paying work to offer he can be as manipulative as he wants. Blue [/quote] If we were getting paid, I'd probably agree. I won't work with her again, for sure.

    I'm not actually sure. Probably lack of talent. But the leader asked me about six weeks before "Do you think I'm too manipulative?", apparently seriously...

    [quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1462817339' post='3045976'] Necessary? No. Will I ever own a bass without them? Also no. I would much rather have the peace of mind. I prefer the schaller straplocks and they're easy to fit...even I could fit them! [/quote] This. It's not just gigs. I have had a bass come off its strap while I was in a lesson, minding my own business.

    I may be wrong, indeed. Personally, I wouldn't risk it. Good luck to the buyer

    Do Not Like.
  20. alyctes
    It's certainly got something.

    Without a trussrod... probably not viable with steel strings. It would probably be best to replace the piezo and fit a dummy J-type pup cover, then put plastic strings on it.

    [quote name='upside downer' timestamp='1462304176' post='3042008'] Here's a link that's a really useful read as it's one of the few about the saz that's in English! [url="http://www.khafif.com/rhy/saz/"]http://www.khafif.com/rhy/saz/[/url] [/quote] Excellent, thank you
