    Example. Description for £3k plexi bass: "1969 Dan Armstrong Ampeg bass in Lucite comes with original hard shell case" Complete with blurry photos taken from 2-3 metres away in a dingy room. That said, he has more than 1000 positive feedbacks, so he must be doing something right! Or maybe we BassChat pedants like to have more detail than the general public?

    This guy has a bunch of listings of potentially nice basses and they are all the same format. Distant photos, miniscule details.

    Nearly new Spirocore Solo strings. I installed these on my EUB and they have had no more than a few hours use in the house. As solo strings, they are normally tuned A/E/B/F# but these are often used by Latin bass players (and by Miroslav Vitous) down-tuned to orchestral (ie E/A/D/G) as they become quite low tension (similar to Silver Slaps and lower than Spirocore Weichs). Close up pictures to come but for now a couple of pics of them on my EUB New these are about £190 from UK retailers or about £160 including post from Thomann. I am after £105 posted within UK.

    Hi all. Our first gig since week before 2020 lockdown. This time in our blues rock incarnation with lots of blistering gutar solos. Double header with The Vampirettes (crypt kicking lady rockers)

    Wow. That's a whole lot worse than my unsatisfactory sale of an Alembic to a Belgian BCer, where Brussels customs held on to the bass for nearly a month. I (and the buyer) had to make multiple calls to UPS in the UK and Belgium and lastly to Brussels customs to speak to someone who - in the last case - was pretty much incapable of understanding English (cue my poor Franglais as I don't speak Belgian). All very frustrating and the amount of time expended and stress explains why its UK only sales only for me (unless the other party is prepared to deal with all the bureaucracy).

    Couple of deals recently with Paul. He bought some La Bella LTF strings off me and I bought a rather gorgeous P bass off him. All was excellent!

    A 5 second google comes up with this

    Maybe PM the guy, Karl. He hasn't been on BC in over a month and a PM might go through to his emails?

    My OCD has a major problem with the siting of your amp not being equidistant from each side of the cab

    £500 price drop, so moving closer to sensible territory (though not there yet) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154825170035?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110018%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.COMPLISTINGS%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20200818142838%26meid%3D1e1cb62d64f54d32b4f41ae338d2b1d1%26pid%3D101197%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D165313415946%26itm%3D154825170035%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DOrganicCompBase%26brand%3DRickenbacker&_trksid=p2047675.c101197.m1850

    Is this what you were after in Items Wanted @Sambrook?

    Intrigued by this, I checked out their Wiki page. Turns out they represented Germany in Eurovision and came in joint last place, albeit against strong competition from winners ABBA. A good read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cindy_%26_Bert

    I do believe you mean 2000 gbp 😀

    The (sort of) attempted wrapped gut-like D and G strings of the RS4000 set, as played by Herbie Flowers on Walk on the Wild Side etc. Nylon wound on nylon, very low tension and - depending on your bass - may need to be double wound around tailpiece so that the silks don't encroach on the bridge (I had to for my old German 3/4). Stringsdirect sells for £92 for the pair, how about £42 posted in UK? Been on my bass for only a few hours, home only playing time.

    Ribs and right forearm. Who mentioned wrist?

    My new Rick 4003S (arrived a week or so back) and wouldn't accept a jack cable. I thought about returning it but it would have been a major pain as there was no replacement in stock. After @Old Horse Murphy kindly showed me (with photos of the innards of his 4003S) how to tweak the retaining spring, I adjusted it and within seconds it was sorted.
  18. Clarky
    Actually really enjoying it! Played it this evening and the neck, weight and body contouring all suit me better than the 4003 it replaced

    Here's one in black for 1/34th of the price https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154819293634

    £17 posted. Barg!

    Sealed, new etc etc

    I accidentally ordered one set too many of La Bella LTFs for Fender P. Most retailers have them for about £50, if they have them in stock at all (those in stock include Amazon £55, Andertons £56 etc) £40 posted in UK. Decent saving for a completely new, unopened set of strings! Will post pic later but it looks like a new unopened packet!!!

    Dunc bought back the Shergold he had previously sold to me, having missed his mojo'd old friend (the bass, not me). All was excellent!
