  1. I have an fdeck too. Its great going into the front of a regular amp as it tames the boom from very low frequencies and has the all-important phase (feedback) control. What it will not do is be an emergency backup DI should you have amplification problems and it doesn't have any EQ abilities. Very useful device
  2. [quote name='keeponehandloose' timestamp='1369580214' post='2090552'] easy fix. mark out bridge feet position by putting strips of masking/ gaffa tape round them onto bass top. Destring, you wont have to completelly remove them , just enough to ge the bridge out and tail wire over the endoin. the endpin assembly will drop out, its not glued in. Straighten endpin and put back as above . dead easy, or you could bring it to me and Ill charge about £100 , just like a real luthier would. [/quote] Just did this (made easy as the Kolstein has a spring-loaded soundpost - being a travel bass - so it doesn't drop out). Worked a treat! Many thanks
  3. In answer to another PM, I have Hiscox case and cardboard box so posting is no problem (UK or overseas, the latter is typically about £60 to mainland Europe)
  4. Thanks I will investigate!
  5. Thanks Peter, I fear I have bent the endpin so it may have to go to a luthier as I am nervous about applying lateral pressure, for fear of it damaging the wood
  6. Sunny Sunday bump
  7. My Kolstein bass' endpin has stopped being adjustable and is jammed. It simply will not move. Doesn't help that its not at the right height for my playing either I've tried loosening the bracket around it. Nada. I assume if I oiled it it would (possibly) do the trick. However I am nervous of dripping oil in my bass in case it goes all the way through to the other side of the endpin assembly, plops on to the inner woodworking and does some damage. Maybe I am being overly cautious and there are some oils that are fine? Any suggestions esteemed DB playing BassChat chums?
  8. Hey Harry, PlatPro is the standard and bloody good. If you want more functionality (more detailed EQ, feedback control etc) I recommend a Headway EDB-1. Thats what I use. But both are stonking
  9. [quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1369516654' post='2090112'] Bass player gets mentioned - that's the headline! MacWifey was asking when we're gonna see the band 'with your mate with the silver hair' again. Get thee south of the river soon! [/quote] Hey MacD we are playing Brixton next Friday And oopsdabassist you are too kind! Cheers matey
  10. Thanks Paul! Will be interesting to see how much interest in the band it generates. Certainly can't hurt
  11. Great plug for the band, the album and our gigs. Sadly in the bio information they only mentioned the previous bass player (who to be fair played on the track they chose) so my mum will wonder why my name has suddenly become Luke Edit: haha, he corrected it at the end of the programme and mentioned me as the current bass player
  12. [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1369499737' post='2089882'] You changed the strings? Oh well, that's it, the deal's off!!! [/quote]I still have the strings (Lakland flats)
  13. [quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1369488681' post='2089740'] . If you get to do an interview at some stage it may be worth canvassing for opinion on which fretless to sell. [/quote] I've already been put firmly in my place by Beedster on that score!
  14. Just to reiterate (after a few PMs), no trades thanks, I have an expensive few months coming up and could really do with the cash. So its sale only ... with one exception - I would do a part-trade for an Aguilar TH500 (and that specific model only) plus cash
  15. [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1369470082' post='2089498'] Seriously thinking about selling my Veillette so I can buy this back [/quote] Well Gareth it has not even left my house in the six months I have owned this lovely bass so its exactly as you remember it (bar a change of strings)!
  16. If the band weren't set on my non-DB being something that vaguely resembled an acoustic instrument, I would rather sell my A/E fretless a hundred times over before this, Chris
  17. [quote name='andydye' timestamp='1369392637' post='2088634'] These are great cabs and that's a fine price sir! [/quote] Why thank you sir! It is indeed a lovely cab but I have too many
  18. Thanks for that, I will watch this. Ray was one of the true greats and master of swinging/walking
  19. I can't play fretless either matey, but it hasn't stopped me!
  20. This is a live video of Aura Negra (played with hidden mics in a vintage clothes shop) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EysgZI-BPc
  21. We have just heard from BBC London's programmes producer that All The Queens Ravens will be played on Saturday night between 8-9pm on Gary Crowley’s New Music Show, BBC London 94.9fm. The show runs between 7-10pm, with an hour of Introducing bands from the London area in the middle hour. They will probably be playing our track Aura Negra. Excited we are. YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
  22. Here's a pic taken today in very dingey light. The white-ish bits are just fluff that I haven't been bothered to remove [attachment=135426:DSCF0349.JPG]
  23. Sounds very flatwound to my ears
  24. That's a stunner! I think you should be ble to shift this
