    After gigging with a band for three years, I discovered that I don't really enjoy it. Dealing with drunk people, loading in and out, carting my gear up and down three flights of stairs, playing the same songs every week. And at the moment, I'm not really enjoying jamming with others either, but I'm sure I'll get the itch again soon in that respect. I think I just need a break from it. I've decided that I'm going to stick to being a bedroom bassist from now on, at least for the foreseeable future. I can play what I want, when I want, and how I want to. And I enjoy it

    Bump - make an offer?

    Sold my Protec Contego to Nick, great guy, would recommend to anyone

    Damn fine bag, this is. I would be keeping it but I haven't been in a band for a year (and won't be for some time). So as I'm not schlepping my basses about anywhere bar the odd jam, I don't need this level of protection. Someone else may as well get some use out of it. Has been used, of course, but I doubt you'd be able to tell. £50 collected from Gloucester.

    I may have misunderstood. I thought you were talking about the kinda uneven board ski slope thing up at the dusty end that so many fenders have - if it is that, then no amount of relief or lack of will fix it. But yeah, it's worth giving the truss rod a try first just in case it is a relief issue.

    [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1396122326' post='2410232'] Another zombie thread resurrection. My Nate Mendel sort of curves up at the dusty end. There is a little relief in the neck but don't ask for measurements, my eyes will tell you to bog off If I shim it, I just can't get to grips with HOW this will make the fret board flat. Mr Red's fabulous diags don't have any with a fretboard that fractionally curves upwards at the high notes end. It is not the only Fender I have seen this on, so any advice gratefully appreciated, ta, Karl. [/quote] Hey Karl! My understanding is that it's pretty common on fender basses to have the frets a little higher from around 19 onwards or thereabouts, but I've never been sure whether it's the frets themselves or a curve in the board. I always wondered if there was a reason for this - maybe better access? Anyway... Unfortunately a shim won't fix this. The only way to really get rid of it is to either de-fret, completely level the board and then refret and level the frets, which would be time consuming and pricey, or just have the frets levelled so that the height of those top ones is reduced - much cheaper but not viewed as a proper job by some crazy folk. I know which I'd prefer though, if it really bothered me

    You've really sold it to us
  8. Evil Undead
    Open to offers

    I used to have a similar bass (tanglewood curbow) which was the same design. Only complaint was that it was almost impossible to play whilst seated.
  10. Evil Undead
    This used to be mine! Cracking bass, GLWTS
  11. Evil Undead
    WOW!

    [quote name='EmmettC' timestamp='1394909603' post='2396633'] Any chance you're willing to post it? I'm in Edinburgh, so a little too far to collect. [/quote] If I could, I would. But it's not on the cards at the moment, sorry.

    Circumstances are such that I need to get this sold pretty quickly now. Vet bills have wiped me clean out, and I've got another appointment tomorrow that I don't know how I'm going to pay for.

    [quote name='Mr Anthony' timestamp='1394756040' post='2395016'] Cheers. I actually quite like it. I swear if they cost literally pennies, I'd have every single bass I could. But then I guess most of us would, haha! [/quote] Yup! I'd love to make my own one day.
  18. Evil Undead
    I have two short scales, the Squier VM Jaguar, and a Warwick Rockbass Corvette. I'd recommend either, they're both great basses.

    I finally got the link to work, and maaaan have I had some fun with this! I'm not as creative as you guys, but I like these.

    Wonderful sounding 1x8 practice amp. Has aux in, headphone out, deep switch, sounds... well, just like an ashdown! In other words, mmmm. I'm only selling this because I need the space. Plus, for practice, my main amp head has similar features so I don't need to keep both. Prefer collection or meet up, I'm in Gloucester. Cash sale £50 ono.

    As I won't be in a band or gigging for a good while at least, I thought I might as well put one of my cabs up for sale and make some much needed space. So, here's a Fender Rumble 1x12. Weighs a whole 24lbs so it's light even for a wimpy girl like me, sounds amazing, has a metal grille, front ported (behind the grille). Has two 1/4" jacks at the back (no speakons) and a switch for the tweeter. I'm a big fan of these cabs and will keep the other one for the odd jam - just in case. I've only played through this cab about 5 hours in total, only at practice, never gigged, and is in full working order. There is slight (but noticeable) cosmetic damage though. It hasn't been dinged or bashed on anything, but one of my naughty little animals has nibbled the tolex in a few places. Could probably be touched up and hardly noticed by someone who knows how. Collection only at the moment, or I could consider meeting. I'm in Gloucester. Cash sale £150 ono [IMG]http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a407/ImaginaryEvil/54ac116016ed856d7425fbcd7c1c4c7f_zpsa8b7ea1d.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a407/ImaginaryEvil/9da79aa92bf7f56205ba2fbb76a99d80_zps46cce60d.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a407/ImaginaryEvil/cf56fcb9bfe5e88876064fe23017876b_zps6da341b5.jpg[/IMG]

    Evening. Still available - am strongly preferring collection/meet at the moment as I appear to be crap at packing safely for shipping.
