    OVNO bump

    Update on UK-bound new WB-100s: having been marked as exported from Poland on 6th August, the Royal Mail tracker has this evening marked them (well mine but I assume its all one shipment) as arrived in UK today. A "mere" 18 days later (leading to some understandable nervousness). Still have to go through tedious wait for customs assessment, HMRC letter and paying charges before delivery. But at least my amp exists and is in the UK.

    Yep, properly adjustable without collapsing like the 3 point bridge always did with me! Plus, being fully clamped to the top of the body makes me think (rightly or wrongly) that it has better sustain. Might be confirmation bias but that's my take

    My pair of short scales, Serek Midwestern in capri orange and Gibson SG Standard in ebony (with upgraded Hipshot bridge)

    OVNO as I have acquired its replacement

    Jason bought some TI flat strings from me. All was good! Cheers 😀

    Lest you think this is mainly for acoustic instruments, it also does SVT, fat tube emulation etc as well as a ton of other applications

    48-hour UK delivery now included in £850 price

    I believe the CIJ models (and now the MIM models) only ever came as stock with white scratchplates. The US made Geddy model had a pearloid plate. None had black as standard but its very common to see Geddy models with an aftermarket black scratchplate. Mine came from eBay and was advertised alongside a Geddy template so it fits very neatly with the existing screwholes.

    Here is the original white 3 ply scratchplate, which will come with the bass.

    I bought these for a 2+2 shortie but discovered within an hour they didn't suit the bass (or more correctly, me). So I promptly removed them. I trimmed the E string slightly, but the others are untrimmed. The silks (which can easily fray with TI flats) are virtually as new, as can be seen from photo. Cost me £51, asking £36 posted for essentially as-new strings (bar aforementioned trimming of E). PS, mistyped price in box. £36 inc.postage not £35

    Obviously the Black Witch Moth

    Bought a couple of months back from BC stalwart Lozz196. Very good condition. Comes with (slightly battered) tin. Selling as I have decided I want to have more than one tone on tap and have therefore acquired a 3-channel Programmable Sansamp Driver DI. After same as I paid. £150 posted UK. Cheers

    The Fender case:
  15. Clarky
    2007 CIJ Geddy. Comes with Fender hard case. Vgc (8.5 or 9/10 I would say: a couple of slight surface dimples and tiny/minor edge scratches [from stand, I guess]). I added an after-market black scratchplate but also comes with original white 3 ply s/p. Absolutely wonderful, skinny and super-fast neck and only selling as the weight is just a bit over my comfort zone (4.45kg, 9.8 pounds). £825 collected or £850 delivered in UK. OVNO. I appreciate this is a little higher than the most recent sales but its in great condition, as stated above, and comes with Fender hard case. Edit: * No trades *

    Dissenting voice: black looks ready to rock/funk. Gets my vote Pearl is a bit pop or C&W (both of them)
  17. Clarky
    Beautiful indeed. Cocobolo and ebony was to emulate my favourite Alembic combination but at a fraction of the price and half the weight of an Alembic! Super slick player, nearly made me sound competent 😀 GLWYS Frank VID-20180624-WA0140.mp4

    Says 9 pounds in OP

    Even if its the room, an HPF would be a good long term investment. While its difficult to get hold of an fdeck (the US manufacturer won't ship overseas), there is an fdeck clone made by Rafferty in the UK which sells for £90 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125014998206

    Thank you! I was told this emphatically by our guitarist who has been gigging for 40 years (mind he uses all valve amps, which may be different?) and I found a TalkBass thread saying the same. Anyhow, good to hear! Thank you 😊

    Can the Elf be used as a straight DI box with no speaker attached? I had assumed so but then learned my Ashdown ABM 500 (now sold) would fry if used as a DI without speaker attached due to overloading. An internet search suggests the Elf can safely be used in this way but I thought I'd check the wisdom of the BC massive, especially as I can't see why one rule would apply to one amp but not another
  22. Clarky
    Also the US dollar has appreciated massively vs £ since 2008. $1600 might have translated to £850 back then but today its worth about £1300.

    Phil bought some La Bella flats from me and all was tickety-boo and all that! Thanks Phil
  24. Clarky
    I was lucky enough to see them at Earls Court in 1977 on the W&W tour (of which the Paris dates provided the material for Seconds Out). Chalk and cheese with SH's band. I love Steve's unique guitar sound and its always great to see him wringing those beautiful notes out but I'm afraid I find Nad toe-curlingly bad, to the extent I just can't bring myself to see the band play live again.

    Rickenbacker getting in on the short scale act after a long absence, albeit it seems a one off custom jobbie
