hi I've acquired a Tele-style bass from Retrovibe, and (predictably) it has a touch of neck-dive. I'm wondering how the strap extension seen on Steinberger Synapse basses works, and how it's attached, and whether it would be worth trying to source one or make myself a knockoff. All advice gratefully received Thanks Mike (edit for typo.)

Mostly, we rehearse without a mic for the singer. If we can't hear her, we're too loud. I recommend it.

I bought Ash's T-40. No issues at all, a good transaction. This is the second time I've dealt with him and I'd happily do so again. Thanks

Yes please (OK, I'm on the list after Wooks. Not sure who's before that...

I live in Poole. I should be able to do what's needed. I've got materials as well (they are bass-sized, but that should be manageable). PM me?

Eels, 'Daisies Of The Galaxy'.

These are very instructive. Try one out, and hear how much difference pickup position makes. After that it's very hard to believe that woods make much real difference, for me at least.

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.

[quote name='The Bass Doc' timestamp='1363193137' post='2009556'] Saw one of theses at a Quo gig when I met Ric. [/quote] what the ell are you on about?

[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.
