  1. Anyone setup up a Double Stop Extender from Hipshot? I'm in a pickle!

      Photos? Is something bent?

       

      Usually the "D" may need to be set but that's the only thing that I could see that needs adjusting. Without pulling mine out of my parts drawer I can't think what it might be grinding on.

  3. Considering an Ashdown The Grail 5. That 35" scale is probably a win

  4. Hi folks

     

    I just bought Keith's Status GP Artist. What can I say; Keith is an absolute pleasure to do business with. Bass arrived in fantastic condition and Keith kept me informed every step of the way. Lovely fella and highly recommended.

     

    Cheers Keith

  5. A study by the Institute Of Incomplete Research has found that 6 out of 10 people.

  6. What can be done with a gig bag with a broken zip??

     

    I have a nice case in otherwise good condition with a zip that doesn't work - reluctant to throw it away if it can be rescued or repaired.

    Anybody??

  7. Jazz/Precision Bass with Ric pick-up positions anyone? I wanna hear it out of interest!

  11. Two basses out & one in! Not like me at all 😂

  12. A shout out to my grandson Oliver @Dasbassman who has just signed up here and may be one of the youngest at 13. He's becoming a fine player and also plays guitar and keys (& good vocals). I've pretty much given up gigging now so it's over to Ollie to carry the flag. He's currently playing a cheapo P style 30" Ebay bass through a Peavey combo I found cheap. He's saving for a decent 34", maybe a MIM P or similar. He also plays a US Strat (I helped find that😂) through a Marshall valvestate. I'm going to nag him to get posting now!

  13. I won't be around for a few days as I'm sending my skeleton away for whitening.

  14. In the middle of a house move & seriously underestimated how much bass stuff I've accumulated 😂

  15. My bandmate's old A/B switch died at our gig the other night. I said I'd take a look at it for him... just took it apart, and two of the three jack sockets fell apart in my hands :lol:

  17. How can you safeguard against scams on Fb Marketplace?
    There's a bass for sale on there I really would like, but I don't know how to safeguard against getting scammed. 😟

      Check the sellers feedback. I would say that 99.999% of the regular members here are stand up people. I think that in over 13 years and many. many deals I have only ever had 2 deals go wrong - and one of those you couldn't have legislated against. 

       

      If it still feels wrong - it may well be.

  18. Sanity check - Musicman "sub" tuners, will any direct replacement be a fit for the string peg hole? I.E Wilkinson WJBL200 
    And where to get a black control plate from also...... 

  19. In a weird situation where I have £1k-£1.2k to spend on a new bass and I just can't find anything I want in that range 🙃

  20. EB Cobalt flats £59.99 + post from Strings Direct; £42 free Prime shipping next day from Amazon. Just saying.

  21. I'm hosting the first annual Ireland  bass bash here in Dublin tonight.

     

    It's basically me sitting around alone in my chonies, smoking and playing with my pedalboard.

     

    All are welcome!

  22. I was lucky to purchase a fretless neck from Status before they stopped production. I was wondering if its wise to use Roundwounds with it? Are the composite fingerboards more resistant to string wear? thanks!

     

  23. I've just spent my Sunday filing down the fret sprout on my latest aquisition, followed by ripping out the stock pre amp and shielding the cavities with copper tape.  

     

    Tomorrow a new John East pre amp should arrive and when I've put that in, fitted new strings and set it up...it will be NBD!

  24. Just been made a Basschat Grand Master. I assume this means I get keys to the executive Basschat loo and my own personal parking space? No one need salute, happy to keep it informal.
