  1. While I hugely appreciate the affirmation I get from 21 likes on a for-sale post, I would sacrifice them all if someone actually bought this machine
  2. So, I have an early Korean MTD Kingston I won when I was playing Ebay roulette many, many years ago. It has been roundly abused through the years with multiple pickup/preamp combos going in there. I should have kept the Audere preamp with the Low-Z switch . It was intense. Anyway, I LOVE the neck on it. It is (apparently) asymmetric. It is quite thin and just feels fabulous in my hand. I have other basses and sometimes wonder if I could have the necks re-carved into something similar. I know that if I change the mass of the wood then the way the instrument responds will change. It is entirely possible that I should not be trying to fix things which are already working. But I cannot help but wonder. Is this a thing people have done?
  3. Newtones down to B and then a Payson .175 for the F#. I am sure a .175 Newton would do the same thing, but the Payson was there and convenient.
  4. Mine is tuned F#BEADG. I can confirm it is superb for lower tunings.
  5. I do not need one, but if you do then this might scratch that itch https://www.andertons.co.uk/rcf-ayra-pro-10s-active-10-monitoring-sub-300w/
  6. I am looking at flats at the moment. I cannot deny, having his name on them has got my attention.
  7. I had one of those. I sold it. I am a doofus.
  8. I have a 36" 6 string. It is quite the machine.
  9. I have a 5 string L1000 on sale at BassBross.
  10. Bill Bolton? He of The Bottom Line fame?
  11. I think you can have one or the other......
  12. Not wrong. I have not played DB at all for about 8 months. I played last Monday night for an hour. The lack of hand strength was shocking. I could not draw out the tone I am used to at all.
  13. Also don't underestimate it's use as a really nice standalone mic pre.
  14. I have loads of preamp pedals and was ready to send. Sadly, none of those.
  15. You clearly have exquisite taste.
  16. Gut strings for a Double Bass are heinously expensive. £600 odd?
  17. Ask how much a nice violin bow costs. I dare you.
  18. Niche, but a flavour I could live with
  19. To be fair, that is pretty special
  20. That pain is real.
  21. Having said that I regularly attack all the necks I have with 0000 wire wool and that takes the tackiness off quickly and easily.
  22. I picked up a 73 P neck and body here a very long time ago. "A" width if anyone cares. The body looked as if had been used for sledging on tarmac and someone had sanded all the finish off the back of the neck. The neck feels sublime. It is the most comfortable I have along with a solid Rosewood neck which is also bare wood. If it is already not working for you then I say get stuck in.
