Not a Lakland owner but would point you in the direction of Newtone strings who can wind bespoke gauges for you and also offer options such as steel or nickel, standard or fine outer windings and round or hexagonal cores. You should be able configure almost anything you like (except flat wound).

Cute guitar stand

I purchased Martins Trace Elloit Elf from him, great communication and very prompt delivery in the true Basschat tradition.

Bought 2 Kirsty MacColl vinyl albums from Mickyboro good comms and fast delivery, first class transaction.

Brave decision Martin, all the best for your future endeavours

It was a daisy chain arrangement.

I have powered a pedalboard tuner plus TC Electronics successfully from a 7800mah powerbank using a 5v to 9v converter cable from MyVolts. Lasted a pretty long time (at least 8+ 45 minute practice sessions before needing to recharge).

A said loss, may he rest in peace.

Any reason you went for the 44-100 Newtone Shorties rather than the 46-105 gauge if you liked cut down standard scale 45-105?

Very sad indeed RIP, our thoughts are with his family.

I bought Dave's Hotone Thunder off him, first class service,, communication and delivery. Thanks Dave.

Have a look a the TC Electronic Spetradrive that would give a number of options for getting the sound you are looking for.

Hi Shiggs, I am not that far from you, I live just outside of Lichfield. If you want to try you are welcome, Stoke or Lichfield no problem.

Shiggs, where abouts are you in the Midlands as I have both long scale and short scale basses which you are welcome to try.

Drop a note on their website and you should get an answer pretty quickly.

You could always try their Platinum range with a hexagonal core. They are physically very smooth feeling with a decently high tension and produce very pleasant fundementals. There is a video demonstrating all the bass string variants on their website. I have just put a set of the new nickel 46 - 100 Shorties on a bass and they are sounding really good.

Welcome from a fellow short scale liker.

In fact 1980 was only yesterday.....

The Leathergraft I have has five slats in the ladder Schlippy. I also asked for a specific length between the end keyholes (104cm as I am only short😁) which cost an extra £5.

I use a 4" wide Leathergraft which seems to have nulified the shoulder pain I was getting when using Levy and Comfort Stapp.

I think that deserves a 'Quite Nice' on the rating scale ead. What scale length is it?

Cute, and so is your son.
