    Pretty I'm not good enough to go for unlined fretless, yet. Otherwise I'd nab it.

    I've got a Yamaha RBX200F, plays very nicely with flats on (don't know about rounds). They cost £100 or so second-hand and if I didn't have one already I'd buy one without hesitation.

    Bought Mike's Aircell strap. Nice clean deal, delayed only because I forgot to tell him my address Recommended.

Especially to me In fact, it appears that I made a rod for my own back.

    [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1363192142' post='2009518'] This thread went off on the wrong foot... [/quote] It's light-years away from the OP.

    Has it gone yet? I didn't expect it to be up furlong, TBH.

    [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1363096380' post='2008353'] Although these are eminently portable their tone and sustain leaves a lot to be desired. [/quote] And they're hard to use - I've never been able to fathom it.

    I had one of those once, but it got half-inched.
  14. alyctes
    Sorry, but I'm a bit confused. Is it priced at £50, or at £100?

    [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1363078058' post='2007844'] I have a foot-long piece of wood, but I don't use it as a rule. [/quote] I LOLed

    I think Neepheid is right.

    I missed out on this one last time through dithering. Hmm... :dithers:

    I had a look at the S U B yesterday while I was collecting the Ubass. Neat little beast, and I had to make sure I didn't look for too long

    I bought Bob's Kala Ubass. A good transaction. A gentleman, a fine player and very welcoming, despite the remnants of family illness - I hope you're (both) feeling better Bob! I'd have no hesitation in dealing with him again. Thanks Bob

    I'm with BassTractor on this. Personally I play mine in a sort of upright style, using a strap tied above the nut and on the lower strap button. That makes it sit almost like a cello. (Remove the other strap button.) Also, the Pahoehoe low-tension polyurethane strings are more robust and stable than the silicone Fenders.

    Bought a stand from Mel; good comms, quick despatch, sensible packing, all happy

    [quote name='punkypuncher' timestamp='1362014580' post='1994650'] YET AGAIN CANT UPLOAD PICS ON THIS SITE SORT IT OUT BASSCHAT [/quote] Not going to make friends or influence people. Especially when there are other ways to do it. Especially when it costs nothing to join. Just saying.

    FWIW I approve of this thread. (It's not worth much, because I am a completely crap player. But it's worth something.)

    Ste bought a Westfield project from me. Prompt payment, good communications; a nice smooth transaction. Cheers Ste - enjoy!
