[quote name='Hamster' post='1098219' date='Jan 21 2011, 11:28 PM']I've put a new forum up as per the above requests. It's for a trial period to see how much use it gets - so please use it and from now on please post all your Double bass & EUB items for sale/trade in that forum. Any items posted for sale in this forum will be moved to the new one. Get posting! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=76"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showforum=76[/url][/quote] Thanks Hamster, it's a step in the right direction. Be handier if it was in the upright section though, i.m.o. Keith

Well, I thought I'd take one for the team, somebody had to! Having more than one instrument and various pickups I thought I'd found the answer to my prayers, please God give me something that will sound amazing on any bass that is an easy fix / removal! I was about to order one from overseas when I found it in stock for next day delivery in the UK. Well it turned up next day and I couldn't wait to try it out. I opened the box and was surprised how heavy it felt. It seemed nicely engineered but had a ding in the back! Gage recommends fitting the soundclip at the bottom of the bridge close to the table. I thought I'd try it on my old French bass (which I use a K&K Bassmax for a real, natural, my bass but louder sound). The threads on the adjuster were binding and I had difficulty opening the jaws wide enough to fit this bridge. This is not a one handed operation so the bass needs support while you find the "sweet spot"! Well I couldn't find the sweet spot, it sounded dreadful (into acoustic image coda 111) Tried it on my modern carved Hungarian (Upton Rev Solo 11 or Underwood), same probs. Tried it on my Kolstein travel bass (has full circle fitted) same probs Then tried it on my Yamaha SLB100 ( sounds best with Underwood) sounded terrible. Oh dear! £350 for something that sounds awful, has faulty threads and leaves marks on your bridge! I contacted the online retailer and they agreed to refund the item if I returned it, which I did. I emailed David Gage about the problems, they've not even bothered to reply! So I'm back to using whatever suits whichever instrument, but I'm getting happy sounds and £350 better off!

I'd like to leave some positive feedback for Tom, alias *monster* Although we've not met or even spoken he comes across as a great guy and a pleasure to deal with here on Basschat. Hope you like the strings, or at least cross them off your GAS list! Cheers Keith

So my question is this - Would you prefer a sub forum in here for buying and selling your wares or a separate one in the for sale section? Bob,[/quote] Another [i][b]yes please[/b][/i] bumpy type reminder

I played this and [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsG5V-o6uxY&feature=player_embedded"]God Gave Rock & Roll To You[/url] in a couple of bands back in the day

[quote name='*Monster*' post='1092057' date='Jan 17 2011, 12:27 AM']Yes those would be the ones. If your willing to let a set of them go, how much you want for them? Thanks[/quote] [attachment=69167:DSC03630.JPG][attachment=69169:DSC03631.JPG] The set on the left has lost the silks on the D & G where they wrap around the bridge The set on the right are in better shape How about £20 for the lefties or £35 for those on the right + postage?

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='1090395' date='Jan 15 2011, 01:34 PM']What's the story behind how you acquired this? These really don't come up too often[/quote] A friend of mine called me last week and said he was thinking of selling his Baby Bass, as I'd shown an interest in it when he brought it round a year or so ago. Would I be interested in buying it? Maybe! He brought it over last Monday and by Wednesday I'd agreed to relieve him of it! (Just got back from my second gig with it and I'm really pleased with it live. It has a big fat thumpy bottom without boom, can hear full spectrum up the dusty end, and fits in my Kolstein gig bag and I don't need any pre amps (direct into LMk + 2 x UL110)

[quote name='*Monster*' post='1091044' date='Jan 16 2011, 01:42 AM']Does any one have a spare/old set of these they want to get rid of? i really want to try them out but thought i would ask here before buying new. thanks[/quote] I might have a couple of used sets, are they the ones with g & d gut coloured and e & a steel flat wound? And a loop with black windings rather than a ball?

[quote name='borisbrain' post='1090057' date='Jan 15 2011, 12:40 AM']Very nice - have fun.[/quote] I am thanks!

[quote name='KK Jale' post='1087490' date='Jan 13 2011, 12:51 AM']Lovely. I think she's got your eyes. Peggy Predictable I know, but I think you'll find it'll stick... Stick. Oh god. Sorry about that one. *looks down, kicks rock*[/quote]

Thanks for that

[quote name='steve' post='1087432' date='Jan 12 2011, 11:44 PM']wow, can we have some more pics pls? [/quote] Will get some more pics when I get her spruced up! (pun, she's mainly plastic! )
