    So many great bassists have fake deaths here on Basschat. Yet again I thought we'd lost one. Oooh, I've got an idea.

    That's the best value bass on sale here today.

    My general guideline that has served me well is, if you can lift it into the car by yersel and without the help of your biggest gym-bunny mate, it's not got enough heft and you need to think again. Another ticket closed. 😉

    I wouldn't give it house space. I think it's goppin' but yes, I like the colour.

    Rough estimate?

    It's a one-off by Holger at Sandberg. It's like a reverse 48 with some creative reshaping.

    What does an LHZ installation cost?

    I've always loved Status flatwound strings but they haven't been available for years. Do we know who made them or if they're available from the original manufacturer under a different brand/name?

    A 15 year old zombie thread resurrection. Well done 😀

    I had one years ago. What an amazing amp and such a bargain. GLWTS

    I shan't say anything other than this post is offensive. Carefully considered offence. Especially to those of us with hearing loss or those of us that have been doing this for a long time and have evolved with many ƙinds of tech. So, what's being said here is that because I'm passionate about big valve amps, I like my hearing impairment? It's difficult to interpret this in any other way. It's a nasty vibe. Hearing loss/impairment is not a joke and ACS wasn't a thing we were aware of in 1985. It's rare that we see such a vibe on BC. The original post has the sanctimonious air to it that tries to belittle those that don't align or agree. Vile.

    What happened?

    £262 for a Bart P? I could buy a Monty's P and have a semi-extravagant hour out in Cheltenham with Mr Monty himself for that money. Christmas Eve!!!

    I put an East MMSR 3 knob in one. Then used the switches to do pickup selection between Series/Parallel/ Single, Active/Passive and Neck/Both/Bridge. It was wired so that the inner coils were the ones activated when in "single" mode. I did this to make it not like a Jazz but it can be configured to mimic a Jazz if you wire it for the North coils. It's all very different from original but it gives a lot of tonal options. For someone who plays mainly PJs with everything on 10 it was overkill for gigging but endless fun noodling at home.

    Beat me to it by seconds 🤪

    What cereal box cardboard is best for metal?

    I've just gone back to Schallers on my Spectors; all with 4" padded leather straps. At <4kg each they are super comfy. The new type Schaller with the hex drive screws and locking security rings are 1000× more secure than rubber washers and there is less chance of smacking your bass on something when removing them too (don't ask). On my Yams and Valenti I have the D'Addario clips, again, much better then the rubber washers. These live at home mostly so the straps are permanently on. With the Spectors, because of the placement of the strap buttons, the straps stay on when they're in transit in the Mono gig bag. I had a Dunlop strap lock disintegrate on me at a wedding gig sound check in 2009. I gaffer taped it for the gig and haven't gone near those

    Toltec pickups. Lee will make whatever you want.

    In more ways than one. After a dubious start due to that preamp, Peacock has now moved into the top slot and is an instant favourite.

    Thanks. That’s really annoyed me 😬. Especially since I like everything just right. I’ll blame the heat and lack of sleep last night 😴.

    My 5th LHZ Glowup The DarkGlass Tone Capsule is out. LHZ-03 #739 is in. It sounds like it should now. And it sounds subtly different to the others. In fact my four 4s all sound a bit different from each other, which must point towards wood differences. They've all got newish D'Addario EXL170s. This one, Peacock, has an ebony board. I also treated her to some Schaller strap pins. The new strap pins used on newer Euros are rubbish. Photos are: 1. Before opening. 2. The DG 3. The LHZ 4. A happy patient recovering well from the op.
