Hi folks of BC I'm having some Basschat branded strap lock washers made and wanted too see if the idea is feasible by offering them up here at an early bird reduced price. This is partly because I think they might be quite a nice little item to spend a few quid on, partly because I think they will stand out to other Basschatters in the audience (in person and online) and also because I want some myself. They are going to be made out of good quality silicone with the Basschat logo stamped on both sides. They are the same colour as 'Basschat Orange' which makes a change from the usual colours you find online (red, blue, black, white). (mockup of design, logo is stamped) They will be sold as a pack of four, with a full retail price of around £6 including delivery (tbc, may change). My proposal is this - in order for me to prove the concept I'd like to offer some sample packs at a reduced price to help meet the minimum order quantity. Would you be happy to pay £6 for four? if so, please sign up via this website and I will send out payment instructions and the reduced price (tbc but less than £6!) to you as soon as possible. Non UK residents may be asked to pay a little more to pay for postage but I'll have this as an option come payment time. I hope you agree that they'll look pretty good and be a nice souvenir of our lovely website. Cheers ped P.s to keep this thread going, please comment 'I'm in' or similar once you sign up. You could even show me your bass, if you're into that sort of thing. Here's one of mine! Oh, and if you do Facebook/Instagram whatever is cool these days, please share!!!

Take your sunglasses off!! 😎

Different tool - those will only dampen open strings and I think they are designed for people who do silly things like tapping on their bass. In the past I have used them to stop harmonic resonance of adjacent strings when playing a freless which just seemed to want to come alive when you touched it!

Would you still be happy playing a bass with the guy's name on the headstock?

(Ken) Smith Taper Core strings are like that, except the D and G strings. Info down this page http://www.kensmithbasses.com/strings/master-series/ I've never tried them and not sure if the core is hex.

OK good stuff. I would have thought I should be kept in the loop if TrustPilot are removing reviews, too...

What did you put as your name? Can you see it here? https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.basschat.co.uk

Eh that's weird. I haven't done anything this end!

Whereas I’ve found my fave is a fairly coarse piece with large bubbles!

Just a quick thing - putting too many embedded YT vids on one page uses up quite a lot of memory on older computers so maybe start a new thread for each 'group'? Cheers

Great stuff!! I will try and jam to some of these later!

Gimme gimme gimme!

Same - still some things get missed by Invision (who make the software). Thorough they ain't!

There's always one browser you forget to test!

I doubt they checked or know about it... there's an update pending so maybe that's on the list of corrections. If not I'll flag it for them. Cheers!

Thanks for boshing them Silv, I've blacklisted their IP

Should be working fine - are you definitely using the same credentials? If you're still having the same issue can you raise it as a support request and I'll look into it more.

Not sure but must be designed like that by the software provider!

Sorted! Thanks

Not our end - perhaps phone settings, are you using a popup/privacy filter/blocker?

You might have seen that I recently went to sell this bass, but I started playing it again and rapidly removed it from sale. Not sure why I did that, I suppose I was feeling guilty for having recently spent some money on a watch and my man maths said it would be paid for by the sale of this bass. Deep down I knew it wouldn't happen. Also I managed to reduce some bills by calling up and saying 'I'm leaving' and paid off the council tax finally. Messing about with my phone I took a couple of snaps, thought I'd post here to share some SB-1 love. The sticker near the jack is a tribute to my first bass, which had an actual warning sign cutout placed in front of the bridge, as I was still of the mindset of a sign stealing youth. I suppose it's a stage we all go through along with taking the odd traffic cone on the way home from town. Cheers ped

I'll slide it under the door! I'll have to be careful not to mix it up with the other parcels containing faeces I have to deliver today

Give 'em a go I reckon. You can see the grub screw holes in. the enlarged pics.

Good find! Get three! Just check they fit though as shaft size is a bit bigger and although they’ll have grub screws it can cause them to sit a bit wonky if they don’t fit perfectly (assuming the shafts are 6mm exactly)

A few times - it's AMAZINGLY fast. I'm pretty sure one order took less than two days. You can sometimes find the knobs on eBay or similar but in the end I went with Digi-key and will use again because they are so quick. These knobs aren't cheap wherever you get them really. Looking back through me emails I bought four knobs costing £25 and the shipping was £12 and £7 VAT. Maybe a group order would be of interest to people on here, or maybe you can find a UK manufacturer who uses them and see if you can buy some from them?
