Just paid a visit to @Paul S to drop off an iPad stand/clamp/thingy. I have no idea what he put in the coffee he so kindly offered me but I can now see through time. Obviously this lovely man is awarded the Frank Blank Seal of Approval...

la Bella white nylon tapewounds.  Not as brittle as metal, not as thuddy as black tapes.  Eye wateringly expensive, mind.

I use La Bella black tapewounds and my two basses, fretted and fretless. Like Paus says, expensive but entirely possible a set will last you decades.

I use a capo on three of our songs, oh, four actually, one on fretless.

Just had a clear out of the office and have some things to give away, as in FREE, gratis. You have to put an amount in the price field so I put £1 but these things are FREE. Pick up from my gaff or meet somewhere within driving distance (try me, I like an excuse to drive) I'll even deliver if it's not, like, Aberdeen or something. Just before you ask me again, these items are FREE, I am giving them away. I have to reiterate that because when I do these FREE giveaways someone always sends me a message saying Are these free? In answer to anyone considering writing such a message the answer is Yes, they are FREE.

Let's not get into an argument, one free thing each, (not the knobs, obv.) happy to split the percussion or you can consider it as one item so to speak.

A. Eight, for want of a better word, knobs. Control knobs in fact. GONE

B. Limited first edition boxed copy of Letters from Cythera. GONE

C. Hercules HA300 TabGrab Universal Ipad/Tablet Holder. GONE

D. Two pairs of Sennheiser HD-202 headphones. GONE

E. Assorted Percussion. GONE

F. GHS Fast Fret x 3  GONE

Welcome @LowB_FTW. At last, someone else who plays acoustic basses...

I have the same problem with my piezo basses so I'm following with interest.

There is a lot to stoke up the Gas on their walls but if you gas after stuff like Jabba basses and Nortstrand Acinonyxs, you would probably escape with your credit card intact. 

 

Enjoy the case, I might be acquiring one of them soon myself.

If you want to try before you buy just say the word.

I went to Peach guitars before Covid.  I was the only customer there at the time, though it was probably midweek.  Much better stock of basses than Andertons, Guitarguitar, or DV247 etc.

Ive just realised, no really, that I was in Peach and didn't look at any basses at all..! I'm an idiot.
