I have Silver Slaps on my DB which I love but they don't have quite the same feel or resonance on my Eminence EUB. I had previously owned an Aria EUB with Presto Nylonwounds in light gauge and they felt very nice under the fingers, if fairly bulky (despite being 'light' gauge). So has anyone tried the Prestos in the Ultralight gauge? If so are they too skinny/floppy and how is the tone for pizz (I don't bow)? Thanks Clarky Here's the stats [url="http://presto-strings.com/doublebass.html"]http://presto-strings.com/doublebass.html[/url]

Reply: "Hi Mark Apologies for the delay, we've been trying our best to get hold of the suppliers of these. Here's the short version - there was a delay in manufacturing hence the date being pushed back to end of January. From the shipment of 50 expected only 10 arrived for the whole of Europe - we managed to get 2 of these, which both went out yesterday. The supplier here found out last night that some more of these making their way to Europe in about 6 days, fortunately although their factory said there were only 10 they found that there were in fact more on the ship. We are told that we will get 3 more Nano's in 7-10 days. I'll make sure that you get one of those 3, we do have a lot of backorders but I'll tell the warehouse to put you top of the list. I'll get them to send out a freebie or two for you too as a gesture." Oh well, at least I will be in the next batch and will probably get a free plectrum

Is this old 2007 post of your a clue? "WTB: Fender American 5 string Deluxe P"

"I used this Precision on many tracks with my band 10cc in the UK from 1972 until the late 1980’s" We had it wrong all along. The bass player in 10cc was obviously Andy Gouldman, not Graham

Just sent them the following email: "Please reply to my email of yesterday morning. I would URGENTLY like to know the status of my Pedaltrain Nano order from the start of December, being since I know two bass playing colleagues who ordered at the same time and have received theirs (well one has and the other received a despatch note from you). As I paid out c.£50 nearly 2 months ago, please have the courtesy of replying promptly." Not holding my breath

I emailed Camden Sounds yesterday morning and asked about the status of my Pedaltrain order. 24 hours later and no reply ...

Seems awfully cheap for a real '63P and the colour looks too vibrant in the (admittedly) low quality photo. Too good to be true? Probably [url="http://london.craigslist.co.uk/msg/2158365205.html"]http://london.craigslist.co.uk/msg/2158365205.html[/url]

now thats porn

Some lucky person just paid £150 for it. Hope he/she gets that back when they part it out

I know its named after the dude that designed it but it sounds like an OTC medication for menstrual cramps

[/quote] What you don't understand Wayne is that having a pedalboard automatically elevates your bass playing to God-like status Bet Mark King's pedalboard is bigger than Fat Mike's

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='1100946' date='Jan 24 2011, 04:00 PM']If you get yours before I get mine, mate, there'll be trouble ... [/quote] If I get mine first you'll have to catch me Jack .. and I can run faster than you at the moment! So it turns out all of us had ordered the same pedalboard. Fingers crossed we all get a delivery this week ...
