    Just by way of eliminating things, try putting a piece of thin card around the string where it goes under the retainer and tune up. If it still rattles it’s not to do with that end. Also just make sure there isn’t a loose screw on the machine head, although not rattling when when you used the old string probably eliminates that. May be just a duff string?

    If the Epi. Jack counts then so does this. Another reproduction of the Les Paul Signature Bass, this one by Peerless.

    Also remember that the switches work backwards to the labelling. If I remember correctly “bass on and treble on “ is written at the bottom of the plate, but the switch is on when clicked away from the label.

    It’s rather understated, sort of sophisticated!

    @x_sjg_x - yes. Several of our church musicians together with a couple from another have a rock/soul band called the Omega Project which plays pubs, weddings etc etc . I’m the reserve bass player, one of the 3 bass players in our church band has the regular gig.

    We used to have a weekly practice until COVID-19 put pay to meeting together. We had a brief spell in last autumn of socially distanced church with the band limited in size and spread out. Hoping to back to “live” worship at Easter but in the meantime recording at home separately and the results being edited on Google Drive has to suffice.

    Did he take enough basses with him to the gig?

    Does this mean Strike will have to move his office and flat?

    Nah, Thunderbird is a great looking and playing classic. The thundergun just looks weird - designed by a committee perhaps 👎

    I’m puzzled by @funkle’s comment about neck dive. Mine has absolutely none and I’m only using a thin retro style strap with a sliding shoulder pad. So I weighed it - 3.2kg, it balances really well, curious how similar instruments behave differently.

    And here’s one they made after Epiphone abandoned them.

    You mean it’s a guitar!
  13. Grahambythesea
    Add this one to the collection as we don’t seem to have one here yet.

    They can’t spell for toffee. A disgrace to us residents of Weymouth!

    Bought LaBella strings from John. Excellent fella, sent them the same day as I paid.
  16. Grahambythesea
    So did you keep it or return it? Is/was the black just black or metallic?
  17. Grahambythesea
    Totally underwhelming. Never wanted a strat as a guitar and definitely not as a bass.

    Derrey bought some strings from me. Very easy person to transact with, 😁👍🏼
  19. Grahambythesea
    SOLD.

    Do they have silks at the ball end? The packet picture looks like they don’t.
  21. Grahambythesea
    Much nicer than a Sire, I guess it’s lighter too.
  22. Grahambythesea
    Are the stripes down the neck also a paint job?
  23. Grahambythesea
    Did you get stung for import duties?

    I have a Babicz on my Gibson, totally brilliant bridge. In the long term I think that would be my choice but having just spent out to but the bass, I feel I ought to hold back on further large-ish outlay. What do you think of GHS Precision flats, I’ve only ever used their Brite Flats which I liked, but I recall they had silks at ball end.
  25. Grahambythesea
    Tried that, the picture is the result.
