Think Schnozzalee has some damn nice Corts for sale/trade

This looks fantastic now! It's gone from 80s cheese to modern day class in one fell swoop! I thought it looked horrid in the original photos (gold hardware on orange/red paint?) but find it quite desirable now How much did you originally pay if you don't mind me asking?

I had a similar problem with a couple of pedals, turns out i wasn't using a regulated power supply, just a generic cheapie. Tried it with a proper Boss one and all was good!

If i want to mod something and don't have the tools/skill to do it right then i'd take it to someone who could. For one less night on the pop i'd have a bass i'd be far happier with which would have a higher resale value I agree that it's his bass and he has every right to do what he wants, unfortunately that includes slapping a silly price tag on it Until we see a shot of the bass with the offending pickup surround removed we can't be too sure of his honesty RE the listing either as this could well be disguising poor work. Who knows though, it may be an accurate routing!

If the body didn't have the extra pickup (and hideous surround) then it wouldn't seem too bad. Wonder what the odds are on there being a massive, sloppily routed hole under that surround?

Don't forget to check Zoot basses out, mine's a beaut

[quote name='clauster' post='452269' date='Apr 2 2009, 11:28 AM']1. A decent news section - for example, if someone in editorial had a glance through this (or other) forum, they'd be aware of what's going on at Barefaced Bass/ACG/DHA etc etc[/quote] +1 on that The news sections in these magazines is usually just another couple of pages of thinly veiled advertisements, mostly for stuff i don't want or need. Before i joined this site i had no idea half the luthiers in this country existed, pretty worrying as i used to read 2/3 music mags a month

All Pms replied, cheers guys!

Hi all Due to a bit of double booking confusion between me and our drummer (it's always his fault though) i could do with finding a replacement band for an annual ball. It's an army do so not too formal (they booked us cos we aren't the usual old wedding band codgers), should be a riot. One we were looking forward to playing but it seems our drummer had booked us in for a civil partnership function so meh Possibility of follow up gigs too if they like ya. It's 18-50s so a variety of material would be ideal, we do older 60s/70s, a bit of TRex and Beatles, then more modern stuff later on (Kings of Leon, Killers etc.) Any takers? Pm me with details and i'll pass them on Cheers! Steve On the 11th July (IIRC) btw, i'll get that checked soon as!

Give Prosebass on here a shout if you haven't found a builder yet. I also hear Wizard do custom wound pickups (hopefully someone will clarify that!)

It happened to me once during a gig. Luckily both my stage basses have a passive switch (idiot proof!) so no major drama. I get GP batteries on discount if i buy a box, unfortunately taking a box of batteries to a rehearsal attracts the attention of your guitarist who after seeing it will never ever buy a battery again knowing he can just scrounge off you!

Not usually a fan of singlecuts but that look superb. Want one! Like the middle fretboard from the previous pic too. Getting GAS now....

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='445937' date='Mar 26 2009, 01:09 PM']Yeah it was for me too. I had one of their earlier models as my main gigging bass for a year or so and it didn't behave well at all on the strap. Sounded beautiful though, plugged or unplugged. Got some great recordings out of it.[/quote] Was it you who put the youtube video up with the Godin in? If so that sounded smooooooth!

I use a Diago pedalboard which is very durable (should be it weighs quite a bit) They do one that is the size of a guitar case if you've got a lot of pedals but they do custom builds too

I bought my Zoot second hand as a way to get an exceptionally well-made bass for little cash. I tried a few Fenders but would never have bought them as they weren't better than my Squier (it had Barts in at the time), the Mex ones weren't as good as the Squier by quite a long shot I buy basses that suit my playing style which look good that i can afford. I'm happy with a nice Jazz or a cheaper Warwick. However i think if i wanted a new Jazz bass i'd give Prosebass a call, certainly looks like he puts more pride into his work than a lot of bigger manufacturers. I've seen a fair bit of cost cutting on Fender stuff and it's put me off the brand. Not acceptable on a £700+ instrument IMO

Bought my Owen Bass Gremlin a while back, cool guy to deal with. Sorry for not leaving feedback sooner! If i had as many braincells as pedals i'd be ok...

They were £30 plus £10 postage when i got them (last autumn). Delberthot has one and he likes it so maybe i'm just too picky! They do go horizontal after re-attaching the top half. Otherwise it nods forward which doesn't look safe, especially with a grands worth of bass gear sitting on top of it!
