  1. They were very big in Belgium when I lived there in the 80's. Saw them at the Manhattan, Leuven, and they had such energy live. Peter was playing a Kubicki Factor which sounded glorious and have wanted one ever since. Great voice too.
  2. Another vote here for the Wolfcraft. Had mine for about 6 years and still going strong. I think there was a previous thread on this very subject a few years ago.
  3. I have used the WD-40 contact cleaner for a little while. Does the job nicely.
  4. Are they full width inlays on the 78 that I see? Thought they stopped those in the transition from 72/73.
  5. Argh! Just missed out on this back in Feb the day I was traveling back down to Kent from Sunderland. Since acquired alternative unfortunately. GLWS, someone will be very happy.
  6. Sad news. A great bass player and one of my favourite bands.

    Owen - Feedback

    Bought a gig bag from Owen. Good price and good communication throughout transaction. Item well packed and quick delivery. Fab.
  8. This is the bass I have lying around the house ready to pick up. The neck is a gem and the action can go much lower than anything that I can achieve on my Fenders. You don't see these around very often.
  9. Shame they are 4 in a line. You don't see these very often and were prone to disintegrating I believe.
  10. I had the same problem. Two gigs in and despite wiping the strings down, rust appeared after a couple of weeks. Basically left unplayable.
  11. As at 24 March, PMT Online currently showing in stock if anyone is trying to get hold of one.
  12. Not that I play it much these days but always used a pic with my ric to get the sound that I wanted. Using fingers just did not feel or sit right either. With other basses I am about 50/50 fingers/pic depending on song and sound I am trying to achieve.
  13. Same as mine but bridge looks to be a replacement on the one for sale. Also don't think the knobs are damaged. The top part is clear which can reflect the light in an odd way depending on the angle.
  14. I was there and remember it being very loud with a seat as far back as you could go. Not as loud as when I saw Kiss at Wembley Arena but I was in the front row next to where the pyrotechnics were set off. I thought the end of the world had come early!
  15. If you want something really sturdy, Wolfcraft all the way. Used for many years for lots of things as well as gear and still as good as ever. Even lifted a heavy Bosch washing machine down three flights of steps without a sweat.
  16. Looks the biz and bet it sounds great.
  17. Andy bought some pickups from me a little while back. Good communication throughout and a pleasure to do business with.
  18. A bit like this, which I made up from old surplus parts from Shergold.
  19. The boards on these are Macassar (striped ebony). This one looks to be in fantastic condition. Took me a long time to find one in almost as good condition.
  20. And sold. Thanks Brian, pleasure meeting you.
