Thanks. That was bargainous! It is a shame he has nothing else.

Exactly the same size.

I need to get out more. I clocked the rack at the top of the 1st picture and recognised it as Mr BF's from when I saw it at a bass bash probably 2 decades ago.

Could you link me up to the ebay advert for the seller? I am wondering if he has many different cases. Ta.

I used to have an NS 5 string. I also had a Peli-alike hard case for it. With in built wheels. I loved that case!

I am fully aware that I have shown this before. It is on in the background while I do admin and I wanted to bump it to share the joy - but I could not find the original post. This is sublime bass playing.

That will be another no then

I played a Stick about 38 years ago. My head still hurts a bit. Talk about "this looks familiar, let's have a go. Oh wow, this is bonkers!". I take my hat off to anyone who plays them. My brain is not wired that way. I have a 6 which is tuned to bottom F#. It is lots of fun. Am I getting the full fundamental note? No chance. But I use it for last notes in songs and as long as the harmony above is all good then it provides a nice cushion for everyone else to sit on.

You cannot spell Bass without a B. Outside now, 4 string people. I will fight you all.

I seem to recall that my Realist pickup was much less fussy about what it went into than other pickups I have used.

If your amp's input has a high enough impedance you are good to go. This is not always the case. And for the record, I am ALWAYS up for new gizmos.

What is the secret of these? Is it just bigly magnets? Super duper windings? What gives? I have a 5 string L1000 with an MFD pickup. It brings the heft.

You can order them through Andertons. You will have to wait for the next G&L shipment they get, but you will not be paying the ridiculous shipping.

It was funny, dad was not a musician but was always supportive. We were watching Mr T on TV and they mentioned the spike. Dad just asked "do you want one" and obviously I said yes. I live(d) in deepest North Wales. Mum sent the 'cello off to J & A Beare in London. I dread to think what it cost.

I actually also have 80% of my Tortellier spike as well. It did not make me a better player!

I used to have a De Jacques bridge back in the day! I always thought there was something quite elegant about it. This is the only bit of 'cello I have left now.

Sometimes it sucks to be a grown-up

He is new but he is sound and will be an asset to us.

I lied, I cannot find it.

I used to have the non stomp box one which was great. The reality is that an Fdeck preamp or a clone will do all you need and will be much cheaper. I will admit to a vested interest here because I have one for sale. But even if I did not I would still say the same thing.

So many possible comments here....

IK have totally stepped up and provided a new serial number. They did not have to do that. I am beyond grateful and frankly very, very impressed.

These are the reviews we need.

The one there is not, the chase only there is.
