The luther called me when I got home and said that a white glue was on the neck - he said the wrong glue had previously been applied (must of had a previous repair as its a mid 1970s German Bass). When I arrived he was warming the glue up on the stove - I pick it up tomorrow so I'll let you know.

Once a month a play a Jazz gig on electric but I decided to double up and take my upright. I packed the bass up carefully as normal into its newish cover and placed it into the estate (securing it in place). Drove to the venue and careful took it out. Carried it over the uneven ground and then wheeled it on the smoother surface to the doors of the venue and carried it up the stairs. Once on the stage I unzipped the case to find that the fingerboard had completely come away from the neck and was just lying in the case.....ummm bummer (lucky I brought the electric). About a year ago I had a local luther did some work on it including fixing a new wheeled bridge, sound post, new strings and 'shoot' (levelled) the fingerboard (he didn't take the fingerboard off to do this). Questiion - although I haven't knocked it, use a humidifier in my room, (and monitor this - usually reads between 45% - 50%), have a dampit and various containers of water in the room - is this a normal thing to happen?

Have You Tried The Kala U-Bass? Here is my video review......
Petey replied to greghagger's topic in Other Instruments
I purchased a Kala about a month ago. Played it a bit at home to get used to the string spacing (left& right hands) and gigged it last Friday night in a jazz quartet I often play in. At first they laughed at it but they soon changed their minds once they heard it through my AER = a bit hit and they want me to play it more....I could have been smug and said 'told you so' but thought better and just smiled to myself...- 11 replies

11/10/19 - still here for 10 days I have been persuaded (by my good lady in her eyes of recycling gods) to hang on to the bag and still offer it to a good home whilst she is on holiday with her sister. However, she dose not want it here on her return or it will be in the bin - come and get it...PLEASE!!!!

Hi Twanger, I couldn't have put it better myself (but, ah the Mrs...yup they have their views). I agree with your point about authority as my 61 P bass sounds wonderful through this. After 40yrs of playing I have accumulated around 20 amps that I need to slim down and this is one of two up for sale at present. I'll give it another week to sell then i'll pop it on Gumtree and evil bay.

Here we have a Hartke HA5000 (250 watts + 250 watts) amp, racked in a Spider (Flightcase Warehouse) New Old Stock flight bag. (The 250w + 250w basically means that there are two speaker outputs which feed a max of 250w down each spk cable to the speakers.) At the said price it comes complete with the 3U bag (in excellent condition), rack ears, screws and is PAT tested September 2019. The flip side - I purchased this about 8 years ago as a back-up amp and foolishly did not rack it hence two of the lights on the graphic EQ got caught on something and do not work. The 'Crossover Balance' knob shaft has also come off - but does still work with a pair of plyers if you feel the need to adjust it. I am located on the south coast just east of Portsmouth. At this stage only a cash deal and buyer collects.
