    Haven't you eaten a blue apple before I assume its either Lake Placid Blue or another custom blue (I think there's a Peacock Blue colour)

I want to know what state the cat's in ...[/quote] I am speculating here as there is no obvious reason for it to have fallen over! The cat* is lying six feet away from my computer, snoozing on the sofa looking happy as a cat that is snoozing on a sofa * name of Snoop Catt

    It is a bit pretty for sure. I think a certain personoftyne may like this one! Shudder to think what Fender will charge for it, mind. Edit: MRSP is $4200, which is about £2600-2700.

    [quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='1088428' date='Jan 13 2011, 06:47 PM']Also there's Maclolm Healey in Sutton: [url="http://www.healeyviolins.co.uk/"]http://www.healeyviolins.co.uk/[/url] He makes double Basses onsite, so knows what he's doing.[/quote] Thanks J-L. I have already sent a message to the guy LEB mentioned, who is very local to me, but if he cannot do the work I will contact Malcolm Healey.

    Brilliant, Ad. Much appreciated. Will get in contact with him.

    [quote name='Low End Bee' post='1088261' date='Jan 13 2011, 04:33 PM']If they're not set up specific repairs I know a master carpenter who might be just the ticket.[/quote] Hey Ad, yeah this is more carpentry, French polishing territory than set-up work

    Let me start by saying AAAAAARARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH My new Eminence EUB was sat happily on its stand in my sitting room but for reasons I am not clear about (cat ran into it perhaps?) it toppled over on to my wooden floor. The damage thankfully is not major and amounts to some splitting/fracturing of the lacquer on about an inch-and-a-half of the front player-side laminated wooden edge and a couple of small dints on the headstock. I would like to get these patched up or - if possible - fully repaired. So does anyone know of a luthier in the London/Surrey who might be capable of this type of work?

    Just tweaked the truss rod (got rid of a minor buzzing issue at 16th fret on A/D strings) and replaced the EB Super Slinky rounds with TI Flats, which suit the retro nature of the bass much better IMHO. Plays really nicely with medium or medium/low action of 3mm at the 12 th fret. If you want the action really low, it will probably need a pro setup. Any interest folks?
  12. Clarky
    Exceptionally cool! Don't see many of these around, especially original ones.

    [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1086815' date='Jan 12 2011, 03:46 PM']He did and you're going on tour.[/quote] A drummerless punk duo. That will pack the punters in

    I hate bad manners (not Buster Bloodvessel's lot!) We auditioned a drummer and took him for a drink in November. Said he would get back to us that week. Guess what ......
  16. Clarky
    If you check his profile, he hasn't been on BassChat since October 2009 so the odds of him responding are very small

    [quote name='wal4string' post='1085610' date='Jan 11 2011, 03:36 PM']Thought I should update my post. Have had the scratch pad for close on 2 months now and can honestly say it is a great bass add-on. One point nobody picked up on, also great against the skin when playing naked, so smooth and warm against the skin, its velvet feel is a bit of a turn on. [/quote] Do you cuddle the bass afterwards and tell it you love it?

    [quote name='Jigster' post='1085462' date='Jan 11 2011, 01:28 PM']lovely looking thing - anyone who can source this bass rocking out clean? - every Cliff B one I find he's got effects all over it... [/quote] I played my old black Spoiler at the Punkfest last summer (without effects). Great rock bass. You can J or P type sounds out of it and a nice crunchy tone by mixing the two pickups. If you listen to the bass sound on the Black Album (eg Sandman) you will get a good approximation of what this can sound like.

    Geezer Butler - at least in the early Sabbath days - used to play with his thumb at the end of the board [attachment=68384:geezer_butler_OPT.gif]

    No Kidding - yes!

    The above post seems perfectly reasonable in most circumstances when someone has a bass they no longer wish to own and decide to sell (I from personal choice try to pass on basses at the same as I paid or a discount to reflect wear and tear but that's my choice and my ethics system). But when the seller says he always tries to make a profit and equates that with "bettering himself" it does suggest that he bought the bass only to flip it. I would prefer eBay be the conduit for that than a community that generally looks out for it's own. Just my personal opinion.

    How did it go Adam? Would have been there but for knackered back

    [quote name='Gwilym' post='1083603' date='Jan 9 2011, 09:04 PM']Nice bass, just right for a punk band? I guess you should now be known as "Stanley" Clarky [/quote] I don't think this one will be used with Kismetik! That's if the band ever gigs again ( been looking for a drummer since September and no joy at all) I am proud of having used my old Alembic Spoiler at the Gosport Punkfest in August though [attachment=68338:gosport_050.JPG]

    If I won the pools I wouldn't think twice about buying that bass - all original, priced pretty well for its vintage and sold by a reputable seller (the Gallery). And it looks the b*llocks AFAIC
