Hi If anyone going to the show is in need of a room I have one available in the Travelodge on the Fulham Road. It is avilable for 3 nights. Normally this would be £156 but available for £100. Contact me if you are interested.

We had a good run for 10 years but the last one was hard work trying to get people to buy the tickets in advance.We had a good solid core of people but they were not enough to keep it going. We need the casual attenders to make up the numbers and support from within Scotland was pretty poor most years which did not help. With the hotels and venue booked it was not going to work for me having people only book a ticket two days before the event. I had to give everyone enough notice that I was cancelling so they would be able to book rooms if they could. I live here so I don't want to fall out with various people because I left them in the lurch.

We had Dave Swift just to break with the Steve theme. However the Moffat Bash is no more it died last year when we could not sell enough tickets to cover the costs. So there wont be anymore.

Hi You can buy the EQ01 directly from me or John East. The preamp amp I use in my own basses is the DFM the EQ02 was discontinued a while back. This along with the MC Series pickups are not available outside of the basses. The DFM is the fourth version of the pre-amp and will probably be the last having got it where I want it. The EQ01 was the first version made but has had the spec updated as we have moved through the different versions.

Many thanks. Look forward to meeting in what I hope will be sunny LA.

Thanks Peter. Thanks to everyone else who posted much appreciated.

It is flat sawn which is why you get the pattern like that.

To be honest I posted it in relation to why instruments cost what they cost not as an argument for or against globalisation which seems to be the only thing the majority seem to take from it.

In various countries like Austria and Germany you have to pass certain levels of competence in order to be called a luthier they then get the title Master not sure if that is the case in Finland but having seen Juhas work I would say he certainly qualifies.

I certainly want happy customers so to a degree I suppose that is the goal.

Just out of curiosity did you all watch it to the end. The later half of the video is why I posted it on a bass forum not so much the globalisation aspect at the beginning.

Sorry I missed that you had posted already.

Worth listening to the end.

Is it just me that thinks the octave effect on bass is really poor or am I missing something. It is really the only effect I don't rate.

Just to lend a hand. [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/0210-recurve-5/"]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/0210-recurve-5/[/url]

[quote name='Me And My Bass' timestamp='1507489612' post='3385848'] Popped an email through last week on ACG website, cheers! [/quote] Hi Yes I got your mail and replied assume you got the reply. My comment above was in no way aimed at you it was in response to the Tvrtastic.

Thanks very much for suggesting a way to buy my pickups that does not include me. Aaron does not sell my pickups because they are exclusive to me and as pointed out they are non standard sizes so unless the original poster wants to go to the trouble of getting a former made up he can't just get Aaron to wind something.

[color=#34495E][font=Lato, sans-serif]I have been contemplating the following for a while but not being much of a guitar player I was hoping for some insight from the forum.[/font][/color] [color=#34495E][font=Lato, sans-serif]Using a program called Fret Find it is possible to draw up various different fret layouts. I use this program to make fret templates for normal fret setups.[/font][/color] [color=#34495E][font=Lato, sans-serif]So one of the options is to make the bridge the perdendicualr fret which in turn lets you use a normal bridge which seems like a good idea to me. However it does change the layout of the frets compared to what would be regarded as a normal fanfret. So the question is does the layout I am suggesting work for you as a guitar player.[/font][/color] [color=#34495E][font=Lato, sans-serif]I have attached a picture of the fret layout. This particular fan is 26.5 to 25".[/font][/color] [color=#34495E][font=Lato, sans-serif] Thoughts would be appreciated.[/font][/color] [url="https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4333/36689298213_c60e197bce_b.jpg"]https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4333/36689298213_c60e197bce_b.jpg[/url][color=#34495E][font=Lato, sans-serif] [/font][/color]

Second hand Kompakt 6 available. Details at: [url="http://reiverguitars.co.uk/project/006kp/"]http://reiverguitars.../project/006kp/[/url] Change to the pickup spec in that the neck now has a single coil in it and the switch is a 3 way instead of the usual 5 way. I am not selling the guitar but will be happy to put you in touch with the owner. Hopefully this will be OK with the mods if not let me know.

That will be down to the increased paperwork and administration related to the importing and exporting of Rosewood. I know even without any CITES woods in an instrument my paper work to send anywhere outside the EU has gone up considerable.
