    Most of these 5 sets were on a 3x2 except the Blue Steels which were on a 4x1. Also I have no idea of some of the gauges. I have no idea what these go for, so make me an offer. Most of these are *not* played to death, except, maybe the Flats. COMPLETE SETS Unidentified 4-string Rounds set (no silk) with a D'Addario 130 5th Round in a Roto 77 box. 4 string set of Rotosound Flats in a Jiffy bag. 5 string set of Rotosound Flats in a Roto 55 box. 5 string set of Rotosound Rounds, probably 77s. Look like 40 -130 in a new Roto RB box. 5 string set of Rotosound Rounds in a Roto 88 box - look like 45-130s. Probably 66s. 5 string set of D'Addario Rounds, look like 45-135 in a DR box. 5 string set of Dean Markley Blue Steel Rounds 45-125 in their own box(!) PARTIAL SETS 4 of a 5 string set of Lakland Rounds. 40 - 128. Missing D. In a Roto 88 box. Assorted NOS Picato ProBass Nylon Wound strings some new.60-8?-96-115. 60 -1 used - 1new 8? -1 used 98 -1 used -1 new 115-1 used - 1 new I would trade *all* the above for a new 5 string set of Rotosound 55 Compressors or 5er set of DR Lo-Riders.

    Looking to upgrade the EMG Selects in my B Bass. It takes standard 91/95mm 4-string pups despite the fact it's a 5 string although narrow spacing. Probably rail-types would be best suited for this, so, who, apart from EMG makes standard-sized rails? This is now sorted. Negotiated a set of Joe Bardens(!) from a forum member and they are on and chiming out nicely (nay, beautifully) through the John East U-Retro!!! Geoff

    Could you measure the lengths of the Ken Smiths for me please? Thanks, Geoff

    [quote name='Prosebass' post='438450' date='Mar 18 2009, 04:51 PM']Has anyone any experience with this combo. There is one on ebay at the moment but it will mean a day out and £50.00 in fuel to pick it up so any comments welcome. I only need it for home use and the odd bass bash, practice round a mates etc...[/quote] I had one for a short time - it made a damn good guitar amp............ You'd need an extension speaker to get the full power rating, I believe - you did on the one I had (75). And at 75/100W it's only a practice amp, as far as I'm concerned. Might suit what you want it for, tho'. G.

    Titles tell the story. I need the box they are currently in, so bring some strong plastic bags. These are not concurrent - there are a few missing issues. Geoff

    [quote name='Twigman' post='437050' date='Mar 17 2009, 11:37 AM']FREE if you collect it 5 years old Zanussi fridge freezer - 3 freezer drawers and fridge on top - it's about 5ft 8" high and std 60cm wide - it's white. Collect from near Watford[/quote] Is this free-standing, or built-in? G.

    [quote name='josh3184' post='435441' date='Mar 15 2009, 07:35 PM']hah, never knew they did those! Learn something new every day [/quote] I have the Hohner B Bass V and love it - it has a narrow neck & I have a smallish hand, so suits me, Sir!!! I'll upgrade the electrics in the fullness of time - I'm negotiating an East U-Retro as we speak. Pity the Yammy has to be sold, as I only can trade at the moment. I quite fancy one of those & I like fivers. G.

    I have a pickup from the 70's and the connection leads (hot & ground) have disconnected from the winding. There's nothing else wrong with the pup, but I'm looking for someone in the East Midlands who can re-solder this. Can anyone recommend such a person? Geoff

    Just FYI, here's what I do for practice and gigs in very small pubs: One of these (the top one): Again, the one on top..... through - yes, you've guessed it, the MIDDLE one : So I put the bass into the Digitech GNX-1 set up with certain patches to suit bass, into the Line In of the 150W Crate Power Block into the 15" Sound Re-enforcement cab with the custom baffle and the 12" Bayma 250W speaker. You can crank up the output of the GNX-1 to drive the power stage of the Crate quite nicely. If I don't need so much power I can use my MXR-80+ instead of the Digitech. You need to do this with the Crate as it's intended for guitar and there isn't much in the way of headroom through the built-in pre-amp. Easy enough to carry & works pretty well. G.

    FYI A while back I tried to get on to the website but found something in it's place, so I rang the phone number given in the ad. How surprised was I to find The Man himself had picked up the phone. (turned out his site had been hi-jacked) Very easy & nice bloke to talk to. I've kept an eye on Session stuff ever since. G.

    [quote name='BOD2' post='418260' date='Feb 24 2009, 12:10 PM']Anything you can do to increase the "break angle" of the string as it passes over the nut will help. Typically this involves looking at how the string is wound on to the tuner post. Neat winding and ensuring that the string exits the post from the bottom of the windings around the post will help here. If that doesn't help, then have a look at the nut slot - is the string too wide for the slot, or is the slot not deep enough ? It could be either.[/quote] +1000 Well known & documented problem on Fender-style headstocks. Always cut the length of the A a bit longer than necessary to push it down the shaft of the tuning peg & increase the break angle. G.

    Wish I could afford this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Geoff

    It's a pity you won't courier the 2x10 as it's exactly what I'm looking for at a decent price too. Geoff

    I've got this: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39449"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39449[/url] I'd like £225 without the spare pickup. Cheers. Geoff

    Pity this is a 4, if it was a 5 I'd be very interested. G.
