    A PSA in pedal form...

    I've been very tempted by the SR 1206 VNF on ebay at the minute. But then I realise I didn't really get on with the last 6 I owned, and this one would likely suit me even less as I'm a 19mm string spacing sort (18mm at a push!) so 16.5mm is just too tight... But it doesn't stop me wanting it!

    Stunning! I almost wish I was of suitable dimensions to carry off a short scale...

    "Get here" by Oleta Adams. Pino at his awesome best.

    With lights!

    Its durability I mean. Whether the backbeat performs well or not, it looks like it's made to survive a beating.

    I like the idea of the Woojer with the 2 transducers, but it looks a bit "consumer electronics", if you know what I mean!
  8. Bigwan
    Can't the backbeat be used on your belt instead of on your strap as most people seem to use it?

    6' here... Actually it's closer to 5' 11 3/4" but what's 1/4" between friends...

    LS bought my ACG Recurve. Despite UPS trying their best to screw the pooch, LS was a pleasure to deal with in every regard and very understanding of the (beyond my control) shipping delay. Wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again! UPS however...

    A school friend who was heavy metal mad. He wanted to be a singer and play guitar. Had another friend who was a guitar player already. "You'll play bass" he said. I didn't even know what a bass was... I leapt from listening to my brother's Def Leppard and G'N'R to Sepultura in the space of about a fortnight. Never looked back really...

    @ped I'm looking at shipping with Eurosender but the small print seems to be spelled out here: https://www.eurosender.com/en/shipping-insurance in large print. That makes me a little nervous as the validity of the "top-up" insurance seems overly reliant on the courier's assessment of the situation rather than Eurosender's. Does that sound like a fair assessment?

    There's the little Focusrite iTrack Pocket interface. It has built in mics. Never used the feature myself though, but it gives you something to google!

    Sorry, I missed this @big rob. No trades I'm afraid. I have everything I need!
  16. Bigwan
    Err... Nope!

    These are excellent headphones. Have a pair myself.

    The only thing that comes to mind is "Dance with my father" by Luther Vandross...

    And it sounds WAY better than it looks Mike!

    Thanks @wright/watt! It's a great bass, nice and understated, and if I didn't already have a 5 string ACG I'd be keeping it without question, but the aim now is to trim down to 3 basses (ACG, wedding present P-bass and my old Aria Pro). Everything else bass-wise is going...

    NBD woes

    Bigwan replied to Waddycall's topic in Bass Guitars

    Maybe a silly question, but have you tried contacting Ibanez?
  22. Bigwan
    No, but if you're not in a panic I could put something together!
  23. Bigwan
    Same here @ead... ...damn circumstances...

    The clearout continues... A curious one this. I bought this little beauty from eBay where it was listed as a Warmoth Gecko put together by Valley and Blues of Toulouse in the 90s. I'm not convinced that Warmoth were involved in any way as the body shape and neck construction don't match any gecko I've ever seen (although I don't admit to being an expert on anything Warmoth!). What it is though, is a really high quality bass for the money. Bartolini USA pickups and preamp, high quality headless hardware (looks like ABM - I've seen the same bridge on Sei basses, big money items!). I believe from the headpiece shape that it can handle both standard and double ball strings. Maple and mahogany(?) neck with an ebony fretboard. The body is 3 pieces of what I can only assume is ash with 2 stringers of mahogany (again, only a guess). 34" scale, 17.5mm spacing at the bridge, although there's some adjustment in that if required. There are a few little scrapes on the back and front of the body and some buckle rash. On the back of the neck the finish has seeped into the center stringer and left what looks like little finish voids, but I don't feel them when playing it. Neck is otherwise perfect. Someone has given up on the original rear strap button and installed another just next door... It feels great to play, balances really nicely, I'll confirm weight over the weekend but my calibrated arm leads me to believe it's in the 9lb region (now confirmed by my digital luggage scales! 8.8lbs/4kg). Sounds nice and punchy and better than the price would lead you to believe. Gigbag included. The more I play it the more I like it so take it away before I change my mind... Courier is fine at your expense.

    Thanks @Clarky! Just passing along the cracking deal I got on it.
