  1. I have to say that I've been through almost everything mentioned above and I've settled on DR Sunbeams, HiBeams and Lo-Riders for all my basses You get what you pay for, as with most things
  2. I bought them from a fellow Basschatter about 10 years ago!
  3. Yes, great aren't they – I've had two Wals, both MkI customs, and would like to get that sound again – I'll probably have to make an approximate body template using images from the web Cheers!
  4. I'm thinking of building a Wal Pro 1e clone and wondered if anyone has a detailed template for this shape I should explain that I have a Wal Pro 1e pickup and preamp, complete with scratch plate – all I need is the wooden bits etc Dimensions such as thickness and routing would be most useful – the neck pocket is dictated by the scratch plate shape, so no problem there Cheers!
  5. Bought a Canon Ixus camera from John – great price, great comms, great packaging – perfect Basschatter, buy with confidence
  6. Update: both tickets now gone Two tickets going if anyone is interested – can't risk getting stranded ping me your email and i'll send them over
  7. Hi They are all long scale – I have them on P, J, and Stingray, no cutting needed The 3 sets of Hi-Beams are stainless steel The MLH-45 Lo-Riders are stainless steel The NLH-40 and NMLH-45 Lo-Riders are nickel plated Cheers!
  8. TC Electronic BG500 - 210 for sale £250 I bought this from fellow Basschatter pantherairsoft back in 2010. It’s in fantastic condition – I moved on to an Aguilar TH500 to save my back so this has been hardly used since I bought it https://www.tcelectronic.com/Categories/Tcelectronic/Bass/Combo-Amplfiers/BG500---210/p/HE022 PDF Manual https://toneprints.com/media/216283/tc_electronic_bg500_manual_english.pdf Collection only or arrange your own courier – could meet within reasonable distance of Oxford Cheers Fishman

    Should've posted this ages ago, but just wanted to say that Mike built a nice Pearl Octaver clone for me http://madebymike.co.uk/index.shtml Scheme here: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/LowRider/docs/Lowrider2015.pdf Highly recommended, good build, good price and good communication
  11. Walked right into that one!

  13. Anyone used these guys: http://www.templatesandjigs.com/templates/other-brands/ I'm thinking of building a Stingray - I have two spare necks lying around
  14. Ah, this used to be mine - sold to Andy in 2010, or was it 2011 I bought it from ABC Music in Oxford in 1989 - I always thought the action was a bit 'not quite right' but my main bass was a Precision and this saw little action so I wasn't that bothered I took it to Pete around 2008 (amazed that he returned my call!) along with my fretted Mk I for a once over and he looked it up in his book and saw that it started life as a fretless, which means it was fretted in the first two years or so After Pete had stopped the Wal workshop I had it returned to it's original fretless state by Paul Herman via Charlie Chandler - the fret lines are Pearwood Alas, not all is lost - soon Fishman Towers will resonate to the sound of my soon-to-be-built Wal Pro 1e clone - nabbed a Pickup/Preamp from here a while back - watch this space (or the build diary section) +1 to Andy, a good guy to deal with Fishman
  15. Thanks chaps - will report back once things are under way
  16. Hi I'm about to commission a Wal Pro 1e replacement body and neck (not from Paul) - does anyone have the dimensions of the body only? I have a pickup and pre-amp mounted on a Wal scratch plate so I know the neck width at the heel - I need the body shape thickness, etc Gawd only knows where the rest of the bass is - could be the pickup etc is from one of those where someone has stuck in some J pickups I have some pics of my old Wals (sadly sold) so I could always go from there - after all, it doesn't have to be millimetre perfect Cheers Fishman
  17. Hi all New discount code from Peavey: [b]PEAVEY[/b] Cheers Fishman
  18. Bought a Soundblox 2 Distortion pedal from Darren - great comms, great guy to deal with = recommended!
  19. I bought an Aguilar cab cover from John - great comms, perfect transaction, prompt delivery Cheers John
  20. I bought a Soundblox 2 Dimension Reverb from Daz Great communication, item well packaged, a pleasure to deal with all round! Cheers Fishman
