  1. SCOOOOOOORE Thanks, I was waiting for a Uke again
  2. Dinky lushness.
  3. Yep, that has been my experience as well. I have installed a Fernandes Sustainer pickup into a Tele and that is lots of fun but I have always wanted the same facility on bass. This might be it, it might not.
  4. That's what it looks like. I never got the ebow to do what I wanted it to. I am gambling that this will. Time will tell
  5. It's no good, I have pledged and bought one. I will report back when it finally arrives.
  6. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/38513516/wond-the-string-exciter-sustain-and-control-in-you Works on bass so they say in the blurb.
  7. [quote name='JohnPaulJones' timestamp='1432928315' post='2786383'] I'm secretly a guitarist - don't hurt me. [/quote] Look, look everyone..... it's one of them........ let's vent ALL our frustration on this one! But to be serious, he is new round these parts but I will vouch for him as being totally sound. He will even courier it in the flight case I will lend him for the purpose. The case will need to be sent back obv, but that is cheaper than petrol. No one sells stuff when it is not courierable.
  8. Galveston used to make a lovely looking gold metal flake topped bass. I seriously regret not buying one.
  9. Would that we were all in a position for other people to be discussing our repertoire and chops. Mr Wolstenholme is laying it down in a situation that is the stuff of dreams for most of us. Who knows if he deps in a local trad band now and again or perhaps plays along to Latin vids on youtube? Maybe he has a P bass with flats on it just for the moments when he wants to play along with JJ? Who knows?
  10. I have often fancied a REALLY thin bass. Now I know it is possible. Uh oh!

    [quote name='Christian Houmann' timestamp='1432413160' post='2781290'] Rob Still makes them fretted! But he is busy. Here is my fretted 5 MB-2 with 33 scale [/quote] I asked him about a fretted Deep 5. Probably just as well because I could not afford one
  12. The sensitivity knob does have a certain[i] je ne sais quoi[/i].

    [quote name='PTB' timestamp='1432400374' post='2781179'] Oh boy, that's cool! With apologies for going off topic, what is it please? [/quote] Yep, sorry about the derail from Rob Allen goodness. You can read about it here http://basschat.co.uk/topic/104007-5-string-bass-ukulele/page__hl__bass%20uke. I would LOVE either a Deep 5 or a Mouse but would need them fretted. Mr Allen said no He does create lovely instruments.
  14. I have some basses with luminlay. The one with a rosewood board is great but the one with maple neck and board is ........... not so great in daylight. I should have thought it through! I am subbing to this cos I love your builds.

    [quote name='Christian Houmann' timestamp='1432134409' post='2778484'] Love it! And really loving my Deep 5 [url="http://s113.photobucket.com/user/Houmann/media/imagejpg19_zps52683883.jpg.html"][/url] [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6kNTPAHVb8"]https://www.youtube....h?v=i6kNTPAHVb8[/url] [/quote] DEEEEEEEEEEEEEP FIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not much gives me GAS these days, but that does. Or a Mouse for that matter.
  17. I am loving this. I would love to have these skills.
  18. Fair play, that is quite a list!
  19. I bought a guitar from yer man here. When he says it is mint that is exactly what it will be.
  20. I tried a pedal steel once. My brain still hurts.
  21. Firecreek 33" 5 strings tuned B-G are very fine machines indeed.
  22. Not wanting to be awkward, but it the unit will not provide phantom power, how do you make the mic work with it? Early congrats on your 1000th post.
