I had clocked the Circle K stuff but it would mean posting from the US and I need a string NOOOOOOOW. But thanks for the input

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1409855792' post='2544057'] Lots and lots of stuff by Gilbert and Sullivan, at least according to my dad. [/quote] Oooof, that takes me back.

Upon further consideration, he also knows aesthetics.

The man knows wood.

Ta. I had been wondering around the usual sites looking for singles but there was nothing there. I just googled the Warwick and up it popped.

Hi all, I am messing with a bottom F# thang. I have just bought a Harley Benton BZ 6000 to see how the whole thing works. It is a 35" 5 piece through neck. I have been keeping a .195 string on one side for the right moment. It turns out that my .195 is a 34" scale. Gutted. It also turns out that .195 is more suitable for towing cars. Or perhaps setting up suspension bridges. Where do I get a (guessing) .165 35" scale string in the UK? I need one ASAP because I have a hugely important major world tour coming up. Obv, that last sentence was not true. I just want one because I want one. But I really want it ASAP.

[quote name='triggno9' timestamp='1409761208' post='2543055'] I've just finished the new paint work on my own FEARLESS F212. Now this will keep up with drummers, Guitarists, more guitarists, keyboards, brass sections !! [/quote] Oooooooof! Is that in wedge format?

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1409741816' post='2542798'] Think that if the amp is rescueable then tracking down another speaker from Jim bergantino might be a better bet. I'm half tempted to explore it further [/quote] Do it for me!

If anyone is handy with a soldering iron there is a dead Berg IP310 on ebay at the moment which has a potentially really nice plate amp in it that has a "blown power stage due to water/ liquid ingress ". http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281427447511?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2661&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

So this is a short scale P5? Forgive my ignorance.

I am totally going to build a solid bodied Ukebass with Pyramid metal strings with a body which will look like the fat baby of a Les Paul and a Ritter single cut. All lush curves made from a piece of Burr Elm. I have actually designed it in my head a few years ago but knew I would never have the skills. Excited I am.

Is it fretted? I NEED to try a fretted one.

From the bottom up C, G, D and A is standard 'cello tuning.

My guess would be that the strings on it would be fine to at least get a flavour. The E would go down a 3rd, the A would go down a tone, the D does not move and the G goes up a tone. All things considered, not a huge change in tension.

I have an early Kingston 5. I have owned an awful lot of basses. 35+? I lost count. Many have been eye-wateringly expensive. 90% of them have gone and I still have the Kingston. It is light, the neck is sublime and it is a joy to play. I cannot comment on the more recent ones, but mine is just the bomb.

I just reviewed everything I have ever bought from Thomann, got a 50 Euro voucher and picked up the BZ 6000 for £180 so I will report back with string spacing.

Bangor? I will get to do this stuff in Bangor? Really? You are messing with my head, surely.

I have one to sell! (I am fully paid up to sell kit, incase anyone gets excited!)

[quote name='alembic1989' timestamp='1409074477' post='2536076'] Congrats. I'm a fan of Harley B basses. Just been playing my 6 er....and cured my gas for another bass ( temporarily I suspect). [/quote] Thread derial. Sorry. Is your bass the BZ-6000? If so, what is the string spacing like? Ta.
