Hey guys, back on her after a long absence.

I'm looking for some advice regarding a new short scale I picked up. It's an old Kay bass EB 100, not in the best nick so I'm in the process of restoring it.

Anyway... I currently play the Thomastik Infeld Jazz flats on my P, and I'm looking to put some tapewounds (most likely LaBellas) on this bass when it's finished. The difficulty I'm having is finding out which tapewounds would be of a similar tension on this bass at 30.5" scale. I'm not bothered about them being a bit higher tension, but I'd like to keep the difference between the two basses close.

Thanks,

Alec

Is that a short scale? Looks nice!

I'm looking at buying a Classic P pretty soon after all the talk from players that I respect a lot.
Is there anyone in the BC community that would allow me to have a play on their bass before I take the plunge?

Thanks

Have a free bump on me.
If this was later in the year, I'd have bought this already.

Hey guys and girls (mainly guys, let's be honest),

I found some strings today after moving house that I'm struggling to identify, and could do with some help.

They have purple silks on both ends, gold ball ends and are flatwound-esque, but nowhere near as smooth as my labellas or TIs

I'll try and upload a photo asap to help.

Thanks in advance,

Alec

I have their split '52 on one of my P basses and a Blues P90 on a guitar.

Incredible pickups, well made too.

Has it gone now?

Best power supply I've ever used. THE industry standard now. Where were you a month ago?!?

If you do split, please consider me for the Pedal Power 2

Slight revival. Loving this after not listening to Donnie for years.

Tangent: does anybody know which bass WW used on 'Live'?

Was it a '57 P w/flats?

Me please!

Hey guys,

Just a poll, do you stick the loop (furry) or hook (rough) stuff on your pedal or on your pedalboard?

I have always used hook on the bottom of the pedals, but it seems some of my other friends do the other was round.

I'm using a Classic 50s series pup that I'd happily swap for a battered thumper, would that be acceptable ?

Off topic, but if you want to sell that pickup outright, let me know.

I tried these and won't use them again. They were stiffer than the Spiro weichs and had no oomph on the bass.



I'm tempted to try guts on at least the G and D. Which brand do you play?

What bass are you using? There's tonnes of "oomph" coming from my bass with the Pirrazis!

Been playing Evah Pirazzi Weichs for a year now.


Never going back.

I have a health problem that causes my thumbs to go into cramp after about 90 seconds of sustained use. I'm currently using work-arounds and sloppy technique to get by.

Any bass tutors in the Warrington / Manchester area interested in exploring whether I can improve my playing?

Thanks

I'm based in Warrington and could give some technique/posture lessons to help relieve the strain.

Would you sell just standing in the shadows?

That is ridiculously delicious mate.

Wish I had the money for this!

Out of curiosity, what is the nut width and neck shape?

Bump

Does he have rounds on the two hollow-bodies? I would love to try out the foam vibe!

Any chance this is still here?

Yes, it is a bit overpriced. I would try and find an unmolested one for less than that.

Yeah, currently looking for a white (refin or maybe a sunburst) a bit out of my price range though

Here it is, with clay dots as I'd love, but a bit expensive for me. Am I being to picky?

Hey guys, been away for a while.

It is still available, as far as trades go, only looking for a P (4 or 5) or a four string jazz (60s spacing). Although I could be tempted by a good fretless

Hey guys,

Just was wondering how I could possibly wire up this:

P90 and humbucker to 3-way switch, to master tone, to output? (NO VOLUME)

Could somebody (Kiogon maybe?) please help me with this?

Thanks,

Alec
