    Hmmmmmmmm............. I've been thinking about this. Is it expensive? It is more than normal tenor Ukes yes, but if I bought a solid one of those (rather than ply) and then added the machines and a pick-up and paid someone to do that (because I certainly could not) it would be pretty close to the same price, but without the resale of the actual kosher model. We all know that you can mod something as much as you like, but the re-sale is never going to keep up with the extra money you have put in. Is it a toy? When it is plugged in and has a decent buffering pre-amp in front of it? Totally not. Is there a slight change in technique? Yes, it is a different instrument, I would not expect to pick up something which was so radically different in proportion and instantly be able to do everything I can do on a normal bass.

    Sorry, I have realised that I can actually use the neck so it is off the market now.

    It is indeed old news, but really they are the bomb.

    I just ran a quote and they are certainly cheaper than my stuff used to be with Robertson Taylor. Are you using the MU £2K automatic cover to reduce the excess?

    Buy a small headphone amp of ebay (cmoy ones seem ok - [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Micro-Cmoy-headphone-amp-Opamp-2227-Amplifier-/250698821012?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a5ed06d94"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Micro-Cmoy-headphone...=item3a5ed06d94[/url] kind of thing) and run a line into that and monitor yourself on one side of a pair of walkman in ear things. If you are going to blister (and you will) then rub your fingertips in some superglue before you start. No, really.

    You should try giving it a leopard skin jacket. If I was not happily married I would be pulling like a tractor.

  10. Owen
    bump for neck
  11. Owen
    I don't know anything about them, but I want one! A nice set of plastic wrapped strings and it would be superb.

    Out of interest, tell us about the mods CK.
  15. Owen
    A bump purely for the thrill of seeing something I could actually pick up for a change (hi Paul!). Mind you, I do not have the funds
  16. Owen
    The strings are no longer tacky. Just so that you know.

    [quote name='ezbass' post='951939' date='Sep 10 2010, 03:56 PM']Haven't ried a Nash but I know a UK guy who does the same thing. Haven't tried his basses, but his guitars are sweet, drop him a line [url="http://www.kingswoodcustomrelics.com/"]http://www.kingswoodcustomrelics.com/[/url][/quote] I dropped him a line. He does not do basses.

    [quote name='slobluesine' post='952643' date='Sep 11 2010, 12:31 PM']no steel in these Owen, i also have a set of Prestos, pretty similar to Silver Slaps except they do have some steel under the nylon, both very low tension with a gut vibe to them [url="http://www.presto-strings.com/doublebass.html"]http://www.presto-strings.com/doublebass.html[/url] £50 posted[/quote] Ho hum, no metal means tricky bowing. Sadness.
  19. Owen
    Do these have any other covering apart from metal? I love my Innovation Rockabillys but cannot bow them. I'm guessing these are Rockabillys with no black wrap?
