Can I ask another, probably silly question. Does the bow quiver have to be leather, or can my missus knock one up in fabric on her sewing machine?

Thanks @zbd1960, so I won’t warm it, but I guess a new bow and new rosin just needs a lot of rubbing! May be like with a lamp, I need to say abracadra. 🤔😆l

Thank you @Bloopdad1, that’s helpful. I bought Hidesine deluxe all weather bass rosin. It’s still pretty hard, but I have touched it up a bit with a key as someone suggested. However I can’t see rosin on the bow and it doesn’t seem sticky. It’s okay for a very short while, rosin dust appears on the strings and body of my NXT and then seems to go quiet. Do you think it would help to soften the rosin a bit, can one do that in a microwave ( for a very short time obviously).

Glad you’re pleased with it. I suspect they are a bit marmite, not my cup of tea.

Definitely no.

Thanks @casapete. I think some were gold, some chrome. The downside of gold seems to be that they tarnish and look poor compared to chrome.

I’ve used a Pub Prop I. The past. It’s designed to fit on a table with a clamp, but if you have a cab with a suitable overhang it works. I’ll try find a picture.

Sorry, @40hz I think it’s hideous and predict an even shorter lifespan than the dimension bass.

A friend’s son has a Korean made Strat, 1997, which are known as Pro Tone. It has gold hardware and a translucent Crimson finish and a pearl pickguard. I’ve looked these up and I gather it’s a solid ash body and we’re intended to be an up market model at the time. He thinks he wants to sell it, which may not be his best decision, so anyone know if these are particularly sought after. A couple on sale on line are the models without the gold hardware, one asking £450 and the other, in the US on Reverb, wanting nearly £650! A couple of past sales have been in the £250 range. I’m not asking for a valuation, but a view on quality and desirability.

Touch of the Ventures. I think the Surfrajettes should buy it.

Nice grain on the neck.

Thanks, @Silvia Bluejay, I only play Pizz at present, but fancied trying bowing for odd occasions. Like the strings for plucking so I’m not in a hurry to change especially at £133 a set 😱
