    I use the EXL170BT balanced tension set on my 4 strings. They seem to be still around, at Strings Direct and Amazon, for example.

    Good enough for this guy

    Just had the pleasure of meeting Ian when he collected a pair of cabs from me. Nice guy, had a good chat, easy transaction... top basschatter!

    I’d seriously consider that Sterling if I hadn’t shifted to a 5-string. I heard one being played in a rootsy rock band recently and it sounded really good. I don’t reckon it’s a roasted neck though. Too light in colour. Also the serial checker doesn’t list it as roasted.

    Time to post this one again - nobody seems to be able to identify them

    Mine comes on after 20 mins or so no matter how loud I am playing (or not) and never seems to turn off again. Contacted Aguilar and they said it was normal.

    I’m pretty sure the HB1 is reversible, so you can remove the key. But I don’t know if you can get a lollipop replacement. I would email Hipshot and ask them. I’ve found them to be helpful in the past.

    Phil Jones C2 maybe? Not a 1x8 but sounds ideal for the job.

    I have a 3 or 4 pedal setup, and planning to use a small plastic chopping board, cut down to exactly accommodate them.

    The branding decals - stickers, really - are the only blemish in their otherwise high quality, in my view. Several letters of my “California” fell off and while they also sent me a free replacement, it shouldn’t have happened. I wish they used water slide decals like almost every other manufacturer.

    I have a sub-7lbs TM5 Superlight which is a fabulous instrument. The only downside is that the soft body wood picks up marks easily.

    A lot of people seem to think this is the case but according to the the original Stingray manual both controls are boost and cut: http://www.musicmanbass.global/1978-hangtag-manual/

    It’s the best left handed selection from Fender that I can remember. Choices at all price levels with some interesting colours available too. A five string option would be welcome.

    Aguilar Octamizer for sale, used but in excellent condition. Boxed, no velcro. This is the later model that can take right angled jacks. Price includes UK postage.

    I have a TM5 Superlight, weighing just under 7lbs. Neck dive isn’t a problem for me. On a strap it balances very well; sitting on my knee it’s slightly neck heavy, like most other Fender type designs. String spacing is adjustable from 18 to 19.5mm.

    Hardly "mass produced". Electric Wood never had more than a handful of employees, and for most of their history only one or two. I bet production never exceeded 10 a week even at their peak in the 80s.

    They are relatively rare. And crucially, you can't just "buy one right now". The order book is closed, there's a four year wait for those with orders, and the new price started at around £6000 the last time I looked. Scarcity is driving up used values.

    Sandberg California Central? Bridge spacing is adjustable from 18 to 19.5mm.

    1966 spec Jazz Bass: https://www.fender.com/en-GB/electric-basses/jazz-bass/american-vintage-ii-1966-jazz-bass-left-hand/0190180805.html

    Offered for sale are my TKS S112 cabs, one with a tweeter, one without. They are in excellent condition and supplied with TKS padded covers. I’ve had these for about 5 years and used to gig with them regularly, but I’m playing ampless these days, so they are surplus to requirements, sadly. They’re 8 ohm cabs handling 250w each and pair nicely with a 500w head (I used a Tone Hammer 500) to deliver a lovely tone, leaning slightly to old-school warmth but with plenty of clarity. The tweeter lets you dial in extra crispness if you need it. They look fabulous too, with the optional V-frame making them stand out. They’re also compact and lightweight at approx. 10kg each. TKS cabs have been unavailable for a few years, the company seemingly moribund, so these are hard to find. You can however still check the specs at https://tks.se I would much prefer to sell as a pair. UK postage is possible as I have boxes (cost to be determined), or they can be collected from St Albans, Hertfordshire.

    Yes indeed, I have a One 10 and I would happily take it on the bus or tube (it's 7kg). You can slip a micro head in your gig bag and have a great setup that will easily cover practise sessions and even small gigs.

    I bought spares for my Stingray bridge from https://www.stringsandthings.co.uk/ a few years ago. They were the UK distributor for EBMM at the time. Worth an email?

    Conversely "Rain", often cited as an example of McCartney's most nimble playing, was slowed down dramatically for release
