    that is a great looking guitar! such a good colour combo Full report when it arrives please. Matt

    Yeah I've seen them on ebay go very cheap and then way too expensive, I'm quite a fan of short scale basses and the fenix design appealed, probably going to buy an ibanez tmb35 now.

    i'm a member of the fenix group on facebook, don't actually own one but was interested in the short scale basses, i tried to ask about them but couldn't get any kind on sensible message from anyone on what kind of prices they were selling for. Matt

    sorry, that was meant for @mcnach i have dealt with him before, (i think the first was a squier badtz maru that we exchanged in a coffee shop in Edinburgh. i could pick this up (and do cash for the seller) and then probably take the neck off and post it up to you. it does need a bit of work though.
  5. Matt P
    that's quite close to me, could aid in the deal if you want. Matt

    If you are happy with second hand then the korean squiers are really quite good, i snagged a black and maple one for our guitarist, i can't remember which factory but it was 150 quid! it plays as well as my Mexican standard tele, i've done the 4 way switch mod and fitted cts pots and it sounds great.

    as this seems to be the uke thread does anyione have any experience with the uke hanges that clamp onto mic stands (and the like)? i was wondering if they would clamp onto a bookcase so i could have my U-bass and my concert uke hanging near my dek (they seem a bit exposed on floor stands and TBH i'm quite short on floor space as there is a bass, an electric guitar and an acoustic there already this kind Matt

    yeah they're not really much use above 7th fret (and not really that great there either) but i find that when playing with acoustics i rarely need to go that high. Also i don't really do the more melodic stuff so it's fine for simply holding down the low end. and it always gets a great reaction because most of the audience will never have seen one. Matt

    i have played a couple including the Aria mentioned previosly and a 5 string Ibanez, for me they just were too bulky and a bit too quiet for playing along with unamplified acoustic guitars, i also dallied with a Yamaha BEX4 for a while but the ergonomics didn't really suit me. I ended up going a different route and bought a kala U-Bass and just use a small amp, depending on the situation i either used a marshall practice amp or an acoustic amp. I found that the U-bass was so small and light that i can wear it on my back so carrying a small amp wasn't an issue. the Kala is loud enough for home practice but the very short scale and very rubbery strings aren't to everyones taste (i have fitted Aquila thunder red strings which helped though) Matt

    I found some references to this over on talkbass, it seems to give a strange noise on first plugging in, I'm not sure what sorcery musicman are using with this strange socket.

    I've got the precision flats on my short scale and really love them, the tension seems about right to me, I have chromes on my 5 string and ernie ball flats on my 77 p-bass but I think the ghs are my favourite
  12. Matt P
    if it isn't threaded you could try a piece of rubber hose that is an easy fit through the middle and then put a nut and bolt through the hose and compress it so it expands to fit the inside of the fitting, then you can grip this whilst undoing the nut. (hopefully that was clear, if not i can try and draw some kind of diagram to try and clarify) Matt

    this has got me obsessed now! this kind of work is what i normally do 8-4 Monday to Friday (I'm a design engineer) being on furlough is messing with my head a bit This appears to be the part but it is out of stock (and seems expensive!) are tere any makers marks or any kind of code on the socket? there is an outside chance that Musicman use a special one-off configuration fot this part but the more likely answer is that it's an off the shelf component they just re-brand and sell at a profit. Matt

    it could be an Amphenol ACJS-MV-3S which is 4 pole or there are 4 different Switchcraft options with 3 different sized pins so it might be one of those ( the 113 options) it would depend what the internal switching is on the original. i have attached the relevant bit from the spec doc, you just need to put the right numbers and letters in to get the code number. Matt
  15. Matt P
    There are multiple options for both of those makes, the amphenol one has a 4 pole option, it's just a matter of working out what the part code is and then searching for the actual part.
  16. Matt P
    Amphenol make one very similar (possibly identical) spec sheet is on here this one might be it LINKY Matt
  17. Matt P
    i can't be 100% certain but it looks like a switchcraft Hi-D type, have a look at the technical spec doc Here and compare the dimensions and spacing, have a close lok at the original and see if there are any marking to give a model number. Matt
  18. Matt P
    Can you post a picture of it? There are only really a couple of different types so should be easy to point you in the direction of a suitable replacement. Matt

    i've used those to hold up a floor, they're about the strongest fixing i have ever used!
  20. Matt P
    they must have fallen off on my stands, no sign of them on either of the 2 i have here (both bought in reputable bricks and mortar shops maybe 10 years ago) Matt
  21. Matt P
    Where was the serial number on your stand, I have 2 here, one broken one fine and I've searched both of them and there is no sign of a serial number. Matt
  22. Matt P
    Well I have had an email reply from hercules asking for some photos and my address, I've sent what they asked for and will report on the progress. Matt

    i've just watched the video on the geefix website and i'm not totally convinced, it's a pretty big hole that's needed in the wall, i would be more convinced if they had compared it to more types of fixing rather than just the 2 they did, also the section of plasterboard they used for the geefix was not the same piece that failed on the other 2 types (maybe that's me being cynical!) if you got one of those geefix in the wrong place then it's a bit more of a job to patch the 25mm hole compared to the 8 or 9mm hole that other fasteners use. as i'm always putting holes on the wrong place (apparantly) that would be an issue for me. Matt
  24. Matt P
    yes i followed the instructions carefully and they just seem to make a total mess and i've never trusted them. i prefer to drill a nice clean hole then use one of the other types, there is a chance that the pasterboard was to blame but the other types don't seem to be so picky about the wall.
  25. Matt P
    the toggle type are very strong, but you do need to install them correctly as once you remove the screw the toggle can fall into the cavity never to be seen again! the interset type allow you to remove the hanger (so that the room can be repainted for example) then the hanger can go back where it was.
