    Silicone strings for the Ashbory were so temperamental as to be useless. Twice in a month I put mine away, came back next day and a string had snapped. The Pahoehoes were a huge step forward. It's got Thunderguts on it at the moment but I haven't played it for over a year. When I do play it I treat it as a baby upright or a mini cello, hung vertically round my neck with the headstock next to my left ear. I find this a lot easier than trying to play it like a uke, though I started as a cello player, so that might be part of it. (To hang it like this, remove the upper strap button - very uncomfortable otherwise - and tie the strap on behind the nut.)

    Search generally is much less useful than it used to be. Mostly nowadays it works as a marketing tool, which is not helpful at all. (Whether that is the problem with Amazon search I don't know, but I'm guessing they buy their search function in from somewhere.)

    No fivers?

    You can't even cannibalise the neck off it...

    Rob gave away two 3D printer mats. They will go to a good home. A nice guy and his concern that things would go as intended was plain. Thank you.

    Hi. Does it eat batteries? That was a problem with some of the Cirrus (including my four-string, till I fixed it).

    I have met at least two players who started with fives and one of them had never played a four-string.

    Nice. (And if that's dodgy playing, I am a person of Low Countries extraction... !)

    These are nicely-made basses and punch above their weight. GLWTS!

    Can't be sure, but Fender make (made?) nylon flats with a mustard-yellow silk. These certainly look like them.

    Looks lovely. I wish I had the space.

    Charlie sold me some strings. Easy and uncomplicated transaction, which speaks for itself. I'd be pleased to do business with him again. Thanks Charlie.

    I bought strings from Dave. All went well with quick delivery and I'd be pleased to trade with him again. Thanks Dave.

    The individual parts are ok, except maybe the headstock. But put together... ew.

    Tempting. I have too many basses already, but still...

    I bought a couple of books from Alan. Quick, simple transaction, nice packing, all good. Thanks Alan, I'd be pleased to deal with you again.

    The EB cobalts and TI Jazz flats.

    Something weird going on there. Not only is it being advertised for £30, that's been reduced from £50... !
  23. alyctes
    What headstock are they cut for, please?

    I bought strings from Etienne. All went well, very smooth and uncomplicated. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. I particularly liked the photo of the sender's receipt. A good idea, which I will shamelessly copy in the future Thanks!

    Hi. I'm considering a neck swap on a Tbird. Does anyone know what the neck pocket size is, please? (No, I haven't got the Tbird yet ) Thanks!
