  1. Something weird going on there. Not only is it being advertised for £30, that's been reduced from £50... !
  2. 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!
  3. 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!
  4. I'd stay with Yamaha, at least to start with.
  5. It's a valiant effort regardless of how it actually turns out. Kudos to you, sir.
  6. Hi! Always good to see new people.
  7. I have similar things which seem to be associated with statins - though I've always had them occasionally, so it's not just that. Never while I'm playing, fortunately.
  8. ... I have too many basses already ... ... I have too many basses already ... ... I have too many basses already ... ... I have too many basses already ...
  9. I'm 62 now, started in my late 40s. Still terriblke, but less terrible than I used to be.
  10. Thanks folks. Sounds as if I should change the strings, see if that helps.
  11. I have a fretless with a dead spot - which, annoyingly, is the D at 7th "fret" on the G string. Is there a way to sort this out? I don't really understand why it's happening, either. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks
  12. Poor fellow. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195772967317?hash=item2d94fa6995:g:BbsAAOSw3WJkZkqw
  13. Does the fourth knob do anything now? Or is it a DFA control, maybe?
  14. I bought a P-bass loom from Tom. Quick and uncomplicated transaction, all went well. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. Thanks Tom
  15. Tom has another feedback thread here... must be in the running for most feedback ever!
  16. Ahh. That hadn't occurred to me - which is embarrassing, as I have a Krappy Guitars two-string built especially for the Morphine wannabe. Good call
  17. In Australia, so of academic interest only to most of us. But this is new to me, I've not run across them before. It also seems to take the prize for World's Thinnest Neck At The Nut - 36mm?! It's quite pretty, if you like that sort of thing. (Which I do.) https://www.ebay.com/itm/225573930427?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200818143230%26meid%3D063dfa63e58142b8a97e01b3c3d516d6%26pid%3D101224%26rk%3D5%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D295697244552%26itm%3D225573930427%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DDefaultOrganicWebV9BertRefreshRanker%26brand%3DYamaha&_trksid=p2047675.c101224.m-1
  18. Mmm. "May not ship to the UK"... they say that like it's a bad thing. I would actually like to know more about this, but mostly because I want to understand how anyone arrives at the point where this seems like a good idea. Are they a balalaika player, did they just have a bit of wood of mostly the right shape... what?
  19. I could definitely see that being prettier than the original. Would you have to move the bridge?
