[quote name='Karl Derrick' timestamp='1408002503' post='2526090'] Just sorting out where to put the signup thread..... Bear with. Karl [/quote] drop a mod a pm, they'll point you in the right direction matey affiliates maybe? or possibly a forsale thread?

it's working for me which makes me wonder if it's a fixable thing for you maybe? have you tried deleting the internet history, cookies etc?

tuner = absolute minimum comp and probably a grit box

[quote name='Karl Derrick' timestamp='1407743661' post='2523409'] A simple measurement, button to button, of the strap they currently use would be ideal. I'll use this as the middle of the adjustment range. I expect the strap will be able to adjust several inches in either direction to allow for different clothing thickness and fluctuation weight, etc. [/quote] oo colour me interested too! So...it'll be a standard design strap made to bespoke lengths?

Superb! Is that a specially reinforced stool it's resting on

[quote name='Karl Derrick' timestamp='1407517293' post='2521439'] I'll design and make a prototype to test. Is anyone in West London/Ealing area who could come and try it? [/quote] that's me out then, being in Sheffield one for discreet methinks

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1407506202' post='2521301'] I don't know if there is niche for that kind of product in the bass market so much as in my private life, and probably your own too. [/quote] more a twinned pair of niches?

[quote name='Karl Derrick' timestamp='1407505280' post='2521281'] If I end up making a prototype, It'll certainly need testing........ Karl [/quote] I'd be happy to help of course

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1407505168' post='2521272'] SQUEEEE!! SQUEEEE!! SQUEEEE!!! [/quote] hhmmm, that now reads a bit like an animal cruelty offer from Louisiana (squeeee like a guinea piggy boi)...I'm sure they won't be made from actual guinea pig leather

if you need any guinea pigs for your straps I'm sure discreet and I could happily road test one each another really really useful touch would be to have an option to make the strapbutton holes big enough to install schaller straplocking ends without havng to cut into the reinforcement!

[quote name='Karl Derrick' timestamp='1407504026' post='2521245'] Any advance on lengths or is 100cm to 150cm the ideal range? [/quote] you could do the 100-150cm as the standard offering but also potentially offer one in 70-100cm for those who like to pick their nose with their bass?

[quote name='Karl Derrick' timestamp='1407501762' post='2521206'] What length range, minimum to maxiumum lengths? [/quote] I use the minotaur ones too (classic bass in black and one in brown) and would be very interested in trying out a contoured one from you, I'd also agree with discreet on the length adjustability (100-150cm)

yep I can see the difference in the contours there...hhmmm also, if you'd paid however much for a legit Marcus and then ha dsomeone proper do some mods on it (spending another couple of hundred) why would you then sell it so cheap? summat smells a bit like a fishing village maybe?

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1407499877' post='2521175'] Very glad that worked out for you, young man. [/quote] thanks old bean

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1407326188' post='2519428'] That can be a problem, one just ain't enough. Glad yours is all up and running. [/quote] [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1407340265' post='2519604'] When you get a good `un, those 70s Precisions are cracking basses. I`ve probably had more compliments re tone using my `78 than all of my other - considerable I might add - basses I`ve ever owned put together. And many of those have been from non-bassists. [/quote] Cheers guys, it certainly feels like a 'good-un', nice n light and sounds awesome!

I usually catch myself thinking 'I haven't made a mistake yet tonight' just before I screw up... I'm trying to stop that thought before it starts now so I can continue not making mistakes

[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1407169841' post='2518017'] @andydye - those strings you've linked to are short scale; just in case you were thinking of ordering that set for your Jazz... [/quote] oops, yes I spotted that, thankfully I haven't ordered any yet

Sooooooo, got a seymour duncan spb-1 and a kiogon loom in there now and she sounds luvverly! a really good balance between loads of bottom and not too much bottom, lovely woody sound with a characteristic 70's p (ash bodied) clank with the tone up full. Really really sweet an dshe looks awesome too the band are in love! I want another
