    Almost new set of Chromes, not sure of the gauge, as they came with a trade, they feel medium. Cut for 4 in line Fender style headstock. £20 plus postage (maybe £3?) Cheers, Sean

    I love the white nylon La Bella, and bought this on here, but have since decided to abandon the low B. In excellent condition, £7 posted. Cheers, Sean

    Two Thomastik B strings, both in excellent condition, testimony to repeated efforts to like the low B. Nothing wrong with these examples, I've just 'foreswarn' the low B. £10 each, post included. Cheers, Sean

    This looks lovely! Do you know the weight, and is it neck heavy at all? Cheers.

    I would echo the above about the EDA 900. It fits like a glove, and plays really well. The piezo was very warm, not too harsh or brittle, and the magnetic pickup gave a lovely P bass tone. I actually hated this shape of bass, really disliked it on sight, till I saw one in orange metallic, then it all 'made sense'. There's one on eBay at the moment, right colour, wrong price...

    Bought on here late 2020, in excellent working condition, in excellent nick visually as well. Comes with Boss power supply and 13 pin cable, so ready for 'work'. I'm also selling my Godin A5 Ultra, if you fancy the complete package... Thanks for looking.

    Bought from Bass Direct October 2020, home use only. Condition is as new, I can't find a single mark on it. Comes with it's own gig bag, also in perfect condition. It's an exceptionally versatile bass. The 3 band eq for the piezo is excellent, double bass tones on tap, and the magnetic pickup is awesome, tight but full of texture. The mix slider means you can go from Jaco to Ron Carter in a microsecond (should you need to!). It's wearing a nicely played-in set of black tapes (La Bella), much better (imo) than the Chromes they come with. These basses are around £1,500 new at the moment, so I think the price is reasonable. I'm willing to post, but would be happier with a meet. Happy to have a day out to do that. I'm also selling a Roland GR20 with the necessary cables, so if you fancy a complete synth access instrument, I could discount for both. Thanks for looking.

    I have mild arthritis in my fingers, and haven't found fretless to be a problem. In fact, lighter pressure gives more 'texture' to the note...

    I remember someone on here saying the spacing of the pickups was a factor: they're further north and south than is usual...

    FWIW, I have an old set of Thomastiks on my Retrovibe Tele, cut down to size. They work really well...

    For what it's worth, I really rate mine. I did in fact sell it on here, bought it back after a year of missing it!

    55mm, as far as I can judge it...

    The TC Aeon works well, once you get the angle of attack right. Turn the tone all the way down. Using a volume pedal helps too ...

    I have the Retrovibe Tele bass, with the same neck and bridge pickup. I've changed the neck pickup for an Artec rail humbucker, and it sounds wonderful (TI flats, of course). I can happily recommend them...

    Whistler's Mother?

    I beg your pardon- I frequently whistle the Birdland melody 'when I'm cleanin windas'....

    I've always been a fan of products that do the job without much fuss and glamour (Toyota, for example). Over the years, I've really come to appreciate Indonesian Corts, Ibanez's, and Tribute G&L's. It occurs to me they may all come from the same factory... If so, I'm a fan of that factory.

    £800 delivered in the UK, this week only.
  22. Sambrook
    Thanks. I did think it was a bit small.
  23. Sambrook
    Sorry for the delay. As far as I can see, it's 16mm at the bridge. I'm never too sure how accurate I am, though...
  24. Sambrook
    Sorry, just seen this. Will measure tomorrow...

    Brian bought my Dean B2 bass. Very smooth transaction, good and friendly communication, a good experience all round. Cheers Brian! Sean
