Just had a very easy and pleasant transaction with Hutton, fast payment and good communication. I would be very happy to deal with him again.

I have a [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vox-amPlug-Bass-Headphone-Guitar/dp/B001GH4H3W"]Vox Bass Amplug[/url] you can have for fifteen quid posted - should tick the box Edit. Dont worry mods, I've paid the twenty quid!

Get one of [url="https://www.aldi.co.uk/en/specialbuys/sunday-specialbuys-16th-june/sunday-specialbuys-16th-june-product-detail/ps/p/digital-luggage-scale/"]These[/url] from Aldi and just hang it by the strap

Just met up with Dave for a trade deal, a pleasure to deal with you sir, hope the gig went well!

SIT Silencers for my fretless 45-125. Great strings!

Cheaper than breeze blocks [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-LAPTOP-NOTEBOOK-COOLER-COOLING-PAD-BLUE-LIGHT-LED-1-BIG-7-FAN-PS3-XBOX-360-/261171357624?pt=UK_Computing_LaptopAccess_RL&hash=item3ccf06a7b8"]Laptop Cooler[/url] and you get added cooling and blue light if you feel the need........! Got one from my local pound shop when I used to use barefaced, did the job.

As you say, Pete, there is more string behind the bridge. I might get a set of 4/4 Alice strings to experiment with - at 16 quid it won't be the end of the world if is a dismal failure!

I have a dead 'E' string on my Bassix EUB. It is currently strung with Presto lights, and the other 3 sound fine so the obvious solution would be to buy a single Presto 'E' string. However I am unable to locate anywhere that supplies them singularly so I am looking at alternatives before I splash out on a full set. I borrowed a single ¾ spiro 'E' to experiment, but when fitted, the silk winding at the tail started about an inch on the playing side of the nut,with too much tail remaining to fit on the tuning post (which is a standard Bass Guitar tuner) That is to say there would be at least six or seven winds around the post. I hope I've described it adequately, I've given the Spiro back now so I'm unable to photograph it The original Presto measures 55 inches from the ball-end to the beginning of the silk winding I'm thinking a 4/4 string would probably have the effect of moving the silk further up past the nut, but if a 3/4 string is too long then a 4/4 is gonna be worse! I'm wondering if anyone knows of any other strings that work with a magnetic pickup, which might fit the bill With the price of these strings I am trying to avoid a costly mistake, so any help would be appreciated Thanks

There might be something [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/The-Stickystuff-Company?_nkw=square&searchButton.x=5&searchButton.y=16&LH_TitleDesc=1"]HERE[/url] that is suitable?
