  1. Thank you Nick: great to have a first hand account. I only gigged it once but I was very impressed too. yeah the price for a new soundclip is steep so I agree at £200 being a bit of a bargain.
  2. Big price slashing going on. Now 200 squids
  3. I bought Chris’s Grace Felix and both the item and the seller are fantastic. Chris is a credit to the humans, and especially to the humans who play bass.
  4. This is an excellent tool for someone who travels and plays rented basses, as well as for someone who does not wish to install a pickup “full time”, plus as a spare in the gig bag (which is where mine has been for the past year). I have done one gig with it and I was very pleasantly surprised be the sound. The sound changes depending on where you put it and how many of the weight (included) you use. I used both weights and I screwed it nearer the bottom of the bridge on the E side: it sounded great. It even comes with its nifty little pouch. Selling because I have a lot of pickups, this is new and I can do with the cash. selling for £340 + postage on Thomann. Any question please ask
  5. There is one great bass luthier but he’s in Caithness. Hi name is Will Mackay
  6. If I had the pennies, I’d be all over this! Alas..GLWTS
  7. Thank you very much. Great point. Found the local firm 👍
  8. If you are super loud, use IEM. Otherwise I’d suggest bringing a small amp for self-monitoring on stage and, if you need a wedge, place it on your side, at relatively low volume, with your bass out of the wedge. The more control you have on your own sound before the signal goes to front of house, the better it is. Hearing back a sound that pleases your ears will make all the difference. Have fun and have a wonderful gig!
  9. Hi all, A question for those who might be good at thinking outside the box…or in this case…the case. My removable neck double bass conversion will need a flight case. I have priced the very few cases available on the planet, and they all come in at eye watering prices (£2k or thereabouts). frankly, I just need a very sturdy fibreglass (or corrugated plastic) box with sturdy latches and good wheels and I can stick the required foam inside. It needs, of course, to withstand flights and general transport, so it needs to be haaaaard! However, I have ZERO tools and knowledge to make it myself. Does anybody know someone who can help/have any idea?
  10. Thank you. Made me feel better 👍
  11. Thank you. My friend told me it was a custom order early in the life of the Gage travel bass. I was told the sides are quilted maple. It’s been around the world the little fella, he’s a trooper.
  12. My bad…ordered the 1/4 instead of 1/2 by mistake
  13. I thought I had ordered the 1/2 bag after reading this thread but by mistake I must have clicked on the 1/4. It definitely doesn’t fit!! 😂 I will be ordering the 1/2 size (like I meant to do)…old age doesn’t come itself…
  14. Hi. How did it go with the 1/2 size case? If it’s good can you please share a link? thank you
  15. That is very impressive service! Thank you.
  16. Keep us up to date please. Mine might need replaced soon too. Kind regards
  17. Good shout Acid Bass, done. Thank you
  18. Thanks very much Tinyd - I’ve just emailed them. Good shout. R
  19. Thanks guys! I’ve got a David Gage Czech Ease but the flight case is a bit too fragile now. Maybe I should just take that and buy a seat for it. I will indeed try Gerry, thanks Paul.
  20. Still getting nowhere with this. I googled and messaged a couple of places but no reply, so if anyone has some inside knowledge it would be brilliant.
  21. Wonderful
  22. William MacKay in Caithness. He made my bass and he’s a top guy.
