    [quote name='Ukelele Salad' timestamp='1427958087' post='2736197'] Thanks essexbasscat - it is a beast to be sure! My flatmates didn't even used to complain when I practised it, certainly can't be said for the electric bass even turned down low! The neighbours though... [/quote] Some people just don't know when they're well off If I could play one, and if I had the money, and if I had the time...

    [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1428012641' post='2737171'] How do Gear4music manage to smash so much gear (for music)? Surely after the first batch they would get onto their Chinese OEM supplier and tell them to get the thumb out? Or do their employees suffer from roid rage in the warehouse? [/quote] Zero hours contracts, I expect.

    [quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1427962143' post='2736256'] Never the same since Wyman left. [/quote] Yup. Any footage of them, the best bit is always Watts and Wyman at the back, grinning at each other, just getting it done while the frontmen ponce about trying to pull

    That is pretty kinky, IMO. Ergonomics look good. Elegance is not its strong suit, but then, Fender P... I wonder what it sounds like...

    I have[s] a Badass II and[/s] a set of Bartolini pickups (P/J) for sale. They are being removed from a Satellite P-copy with a seized trussrod. Good condition. Pics here: [url="http://s1295.photobucket.com/user/alyctes/library/Shaggy_Satellite?sort=3&page=1"]http://s1295.photobu...e?sort=3&page=1[/url] [s]Bridge is missing one screw; obviously no packaging. £50 posted in the UK, firm. [/s] Pickups working fine; two screws missing, no boxes. £85 posted in the UK, firm. Bank transfer preferred.

    [quote name='bassadder' timestamp='1426605140' post='2719765'] I'm going to re-string this bass any string suggestions to get the best out of it. [/quote] Black nylon flats

    Thinking it might be an Aria IGB (or copy of), something like this: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aria-5-string-bass-guitar-IGB68-5-/131471214624?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e9c4b8820"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1e9c4b8820[/url]

    This, on the other hand, could be a good deal for the right buyer: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-4-LA-Bass-Guitar-by-Gear4music-Black-B-STOCK-RRP-84-99-/271808139141?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f49070f85

    [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1427565933' post='2731817'] Same with bass tabs I find [/quote] Yes. Even if the notes are right, the positions often aren't.

    At least one of the full-size ones has a neck with frets which need filing. It might be tricky, because of the binding; I'm wondering about using a matchstick to put epoxy on instead.

    I bought a pBone recently http://basschat.co.uk/topic/234162-well-thas-an-interesting-horn/. I'm rubbish on it, but I'm better than I was

    Is this the set-neck model?

    [quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1388854720' post='2326921'] Pleased to see this thread, as I bought BCer Steve's 5-string in December. Can't play it at all, I find the different intervals very hard (tuning gDGBD). Hmm... I may yet tune it aEADG - if I can get strings to do it, I think that might break the standard ones. [/quote] I need to retrieve it from my guitarist's music-shed first...

    Nice!
  22. alyctes
    Nice Does anyone know the width at the nut?
  23. alyctes
    Love the colour
  24. alyctes
    Okay, what are the various parts from? The body might be a reshaped Yamaha, but the sculpting looks wrong.

    reduced again
