There was a similar item in Aluminium at the LBGS a couple of years ago - stored more than 2 basses, I might add. I think @ped has one IIRC

Seems expensive compared to individual hangers you can buy everywhere. Get some individual ones, screw them to an decorative or ornate piece of timber and screw that to the wall.

I have a leather thumb protector which I bought from my local £ shop - never used it. If you can't find one PM me and I'll dig it out (from wherever it might be). https://www.amazon.co.uk/MEDISURE-PREMIUM-RE-USABLE-ADJUSTABLE-PROTETIVE/dp/B01DDTD9UW/ref=sr_1_19?adgrpid=103926605197&dchild=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwps75BRAcEiwAEiACMaC31--m7ucdZaEYLjf9S4o0gpQz724EqhBftTZNLv3gFI8LvS9A5hoCmLUQAvD_BwE&hvadid=447299722043&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9046033&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=14467292026679862491&hvtargid=kwd-1861469236&hydadcr=28147_1724764&keywords=thumb+guards&qid=1597230918&sr=8-19&tag=googhydr-21

Many years ago I had a fretless B2A - sold for the reason you give about the Select pick ups - weak and gutless IMO. I think anything would be an improvement.

Two options I have used. Firstly the SimS Superquad pick ups - each pick up gives you the choice of P/J/H - if you go with a pair there are 15 variations. The second option would be custom wound pick ups by Martin Herrick: https://www.herrickpickups.com/ He'll make you whatever you want at a very competitive price. He built the coil pick ups in my Psilos bass.

If weight is likely to be an issue you might want to check how much the Wenge is likely to weigh. -
I can see a trend starting....off to ebay to see what's available...
-
Found it - "Account settings", "Signature", "view signatures"
-
How would I turn them back on???
-
No shortage of them on ebay unfortunately...
-
Can we expect to see you on Dragon's Den in the near future??

Martyn bought my much beloved Spector NS2000. We'd previously traded for my Spector NS94 - this was as equally a smooth transaction. Martyn confirming that he is an asset to this forum - trade with confidence.

On hold... -
Just started a new course of antidepressants...
I couldn't function with the previous ones - these supposedly have fewer side effects but the list is far from short...including a deterioration for the first 5 days!! Minimum course is 6 months.
The thought of this is making me depressed.

Hi Mick, just seen this post. Sorry to hear of your troubles - I reckon the general state of the world at this time is getting everyone down to varying degrees. Hope the meds work, but take some small comfort in knowing you're not entirely alone - as Captain Tom says "Tomorrow will be a better day."
-
It seems to be quite an inexact science, always an element of 'suck it and see' involved. I have noticed improvements in a change of meds, but never felt fully sorted. In fact I need to call the Dr. today- I had to stop therapy because my home situation was so bad for a couple of years that they couldn't tell what was what. The dust hadn't settled on that mess before the world got so weird no-one can tell what's what! Still, one must to do whatever one can.

Another bass that I'm parting with as part of my clear-out/ downsizing. Acquired here IIRC - I'm not a fretless player, much as I'd like to be, so this needs to find a new home. Not sure of the history behind this - you don't see too many of them in blue - normally in Orange. I emailed a number of shops, etc in an attempt to find out how many were made in blue - nobody seemed to know and it was suggested that it was made for a show then sold on afterwards. No idea how much truth there is in this and I'm happy to amend this post if others know more. Here are the specs from online: https://www.andertons.co.uk/bass-dept/bass-guitars/modern-bass-guitars/spector-bass-spectorcore-4-piezo-lined-fretless It's currently wearing some flatwounds of unknown heritage. I'll get more photos done over the weekend

I had this up for sale earlier this year as an "either/or" sale - this and an NS94. The plan was to sell one, keep the other. Both basses are excellent examples of Stu Spector's fine work and, if anything, were advertised "too cheap". I can honestly say that I wouldn't be selling this if I could keep hold of it. I've got a few health problems currently which are "forcing" the sale of a number of my basses/amps/cabs. Watch the For Sale threads for details of the clear out. As anybody who has ever owned one of these would agree, you'd be hard pushed to find anything of similar quality for the money. I'm asking £325 which is closer to what similar items have sold for recently.-
