[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1357076740' post='1917308'] Yes. I can believe that. All his best stuff was done in the '70s. Don't know how the 'Antmusic' and subsequent 'highwayman' thing came about, I suspect it was something they agreed to do to increase their appeal. [/quote] I seem to remember that nice Mr McLaren had something to do with all that?

I have a used Hohner Professional 5-string which is very nice (thanks Geoff . If you can find one, they seem to go for about £200.

Aria Sinsonido sounds pretty good. Fretless is better for the tone.

No idea about Cort Curbows. What I do know is that I have a Yamaha RBX200F, P-pup small-body lined fretless, which I picked up here for £100 (IIRC), which is a great starter fretless IMO. I recommend them. (Would I sell it? Yes I would.

How deep is your love? As low as my rotten technique will allow, basically.

[quote name='Fender_Greg' timestamp='1355647630' post='1900800'] I'm doing this all the time now! Ended up with a sound interface and an mxr m288, and a new bass....I don't have any money! [/quote] Me too. I have a daft number of basses...

I've got one. It's fine - comfortable, good to play, nice neck, maybe a little characterless in the sound somehow? - but its electrics are not ideal - the damn thing eats batteries. Net result, I never use it.

Thanks to all for contributions so far A swift online search suggests that cyanoacrylate (Superglue) is the way to go. But I'd guess that epoxy will be at least as good; the tricky bit will be clamping it so it's correctly placed and stable. I'd forgotten this: there are also cracks in the neck pocket. It's possible that the whole thing will have to be written off.

If I lived in west Dorset, I might have a go at that

The lower horn has broken off cleanly.

hi folks Has anyone attempted to repair a luthite body (e.g. Ibanez Ergodyne or Cort Curbow)? Any experiences, hints, tips etc. gratefully received thanks Mike

I also wonder whether the new Classifieds will make the site less intuitive, because it's hard to see where (e.g.) the eBay subforum and the Feedback would go.

[quote name='Shockwave' timestamp='1354625623' post='1888249'] ... I think the old classifieds section with a subscription fee and bump button is a better solution. 1 - carried on using the regular marketplace forums - Yes 2 - charged a yearly subscription fee to be able to post adverts there (~£20) to help pay for developments - Yes or a "by listing" fee. 3 - installed a new 'bump' button which only works once every 36hrs on your thread - YES 4 - develop the marketplace to allow thumbnails next to threads for everyone - No, I dont think it is needed, I would still like the classifieds to look like a forum setup. Less cluttered, more adverts on one screen. 5 - develop a better form for selling items with fields for things like location, price, etc to make adverts clearer - This is something I have been pushing for years, so yes. [/quote] I agree with this.

[quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1355214481' post='1895346'] To my mind, 'Definitely maybe' at the time was a breath of fresh, attitude-driven air - the nearest thing to 'Never Mind The Bollocks' I had heard in years. Furthermore there were some very melodic, memorable tracks that still stand the test of time (Live Forever, Slide Away etc). While most fans revere it, I already thought the rot set in with 'Morning Glory' (can't stand their 'epic' Champagne Supernova for example and I hate Noel's nasal voice on 'Don't look back in anger', Liam's voice is waaaaayy better). ... [/quote] Exactly.

IIRC this is a BC member (nice guy, I bought a BBN5 from him a couple of years ago) and the headless was previously advertised here.
