    Update: a former band mate sent me the following "I’ve not spoken to Rob but have talked to his brother. He’s OK but completely off social media etc. I’ll pass on your concern again and hopefully he’ll get back to you." So its good news and - given he clearly wants to be incommunicado - my view is we let it rest there.

    Sadly, nothing. One of the bands I know he played in - Piccadilly Swing - still has his biog on their website but when I checked their most recent (2023) video it was a different bass player 😞 Edit: I have just emailed two of his former bands to see if they have any info - will post here if I get any useful reply

    I don't see a serious problem here and I certainly wouldn't take a drill to your bass. The lack of metal to metal contact - especially with flats - is unlikely to have any discernible impact on your tone (has happened to me with other basses). Furthermore, if it really narks you, you can shave the silks back with a razor blade to uncover the metal for full contact with bridge saddles. The silks are largely there for cosmetic purposes, as I understand it, hence some manufacturers don't bother with them

    Sorry to hear that "Sneaky Pete" the cat has passed. But GLWTS, tremendous sounding rig

    Worth getting a cheap set of digital luggage scales (less than a tenner on Amazon). Suspect the 5kg weight is exaggerated (I have never played a medium scale Alembic that weighed that much). Besides, a luggage scale is useful for those tricky airlines like Ryanair and Easyjet!!!!

    If this thread needs closure, after 13 years my rig now includes two DI-enabled preamps: a Tech21 Bass Fly Rig V2; and an EBS Valvedrive DI. 😀

    In your feedback thread, an ACG sale comes up for May 2014. Unfortunately its to a BCer called @cana.danwho hasn't been on the site since 2017. Still worth PM'ing in case it pings through to his email

    Vin bought my 62 AVRI Jazz. The bass had a slightly controversial history but, after some string experimentation, Vin took a chance and trusted me even though I had offered try-before-buy. A gent eith friendly,funny comms and I look forward to his plans for the bass. Cheers!

    For anyone following this, I have a potential buyer but the bass needs delivery to friends of his when they return to London in a month. SO this will be 'On Hold' for some time!
