  1. Looks as if the body bouts are easily changed? Not much use if you haven't got anything to replace them with, but... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RKS-5-String-Bass-A-Thing-of-Beauty/172988792662?hash=item2846ef7f56:g:zggAAOSw43haEbMG
  2. What I've heard is that they are decent enough at the price point. Can't remember where or who from though.
  3. Yeah. Especially if it sounds monstrous. The only reason I haven't got one is the neck dive.
  4. Yes, I see them now. Pretty
  5. You'll have a much better chance of selling it if you put some pics up.
  6. I see pics. Firefox on Ubuntu linux.
  7. Already in Dorset... but I'm not going to use it and I'm not comfortable with flipping.
  8. You need to read the bumping rules.
  9. BEX 4 are fab

    [quote name='dyerseve' timestamp='1510061023' post='3403614'] it's the right plaice for it surely? [/quote] I suppose it does have a porpoise.
  12. Okay, this thread is going to exactly the sort of place I was hoping for Thanks all
  13. [quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1509912243' post='3402582'] If you look at the link and the controls it’s a bit tongue in cheek, the increase hair growth rate and call waiter controls had me chuckle a bit. [/quote] I liked the "drummer tempo" switch, personally
  14. I presume "naturally" means "unamplified", but it doesn't look all that good acoustically.
  15. That is definitely hideous. It has that G-Plan home-assembled furniture look, possibly involving Formica.
  16. [quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1509732366' post='3401312'] If you find a good sound, you could spend a lifetime trying to find it again! [/quote] You'd have to take a photo of the control settings...
  17. Interesting how little visual change there is in the waveform on the different settings. Also the psychological difference. That's worth remembering, IMO, because I think it comes up all over the place - notably in the media (and advertising, whether it calls itself that or not). It definitely looks best with the white 'plate.

    [quote name='Vinny' timestamp='1509793454' post='3401668'] I had one of those a few years ago, the only acoustic bass I regret selling. [/quote] Did you keep a note of the serial number, by any chance? It would be nice to get some idea of the number Peavey made.
  19. Agree with Dave. Their influence is huge. No Beatles, different world.
  20. I'm not allowed alcohol for medical reasons. I wouldn't want my strings to make me ill.
  21. I don't mind the carry handle. But everything else... it's possible to do this sort of thing well, but that isn't it.
  22. Would have been, but too far. Thanks anyway
  23. Guessing that the bass has been detuned for the photos?
  24. Thanks all - some useful suggestions there, much appreciated. Now to convince the others...
