Interesting zero fret Combi nut on this site, I’ve never seen one like this.

Find a reputable osteopath, really. My man (Hindhead, Surrey) is excellent and has seen many musicians. ie....I had a bad knee problem once, it turned out it was my ankle that was out of alignment and a single visit sorted it all out.

String sale to Reggabass Tony for his bass restoring project, great dealing with you, cheers.

Gotoh tuners to Gary, all nicely done, cheers 4pwclm.

Hiwatt and Fender valves in the UK and Jansen in NZ.

Maybe that particular cables doesn't have decent wire in it so bin it. I make up cables from quality stuff and always use Neutrik jack plugs for a proper contact area for bass or pedal inputs as some jack plugs from 'other' countries are inferior quality and just ever so slightly less in circumference than Neutrik.

Withdrawn off Basschat....selling elsewhere. New price at £30 includes postage U.K. New unused D’Addario strings as shown. There are TWO sets in each packt. These are priced at £30 per pack which will include standard U.K. postage. I bought these last year but have decided to stay with my original D’Addario gauge strings so these are up for grabs. Great strings, long lasting. As D’Addario state their strings are often ’faked’ I have checked all these on D’Addario’s site as being the real deal. -
A set of Fender style fit USED Flat Wound strings of unknown origin (but by the blue silk colour could be D’Addario or La Bella). £5 for the strings....if you want them posted I haven’t checked a cost but as they don’t wrap down in a tight circle they have to go in a large Jiffy bag so likely cost a few pounds for postage. Gauges in the picture are as close as my measurements can be. -
These are unused, fixing screws included in their sealed pack. Top notch tuners used by many bass manufacturers world wide. The price includes U.K. postage via Hermes dropped off at my local Hermes collection depot. -
I’m not so sure Cites is pertinent as far as the age of this bass is meant to be....contacting Shecter with the serial number might work. I recently sent a pic of some real old rosewood I had to a luthier supplier and he said it’s not possible to ascertain exactly what wood it is unless he has it in his hands and even then it may not be possible to exactly say what and where it came from.

The cheap n cheerful Dr Green bass reverb might get you started to see if reverb is suitable....it isn’t as bad as its price denotes! https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Dr-Green-Bass-Verb-Reverb-Pedal/PFI

Two Hats Blues Band (my band) at Bolton Steam Museum
mybass replied to DanOwens's topic in Live photos & videos
Great stuff....just needed steam off the machines and you'd be away!! -
Well back in his DB book writing days, Rufus Reid was showing us how he did it! By the width of those seats, I'd say he got 1st class tickets.

SOLD The powered monitor has been used more than the passive. All working good on volume and eq slider controls and I’ve also spit n polished n hoovered them and wet soldered the internal controls. The cabs are slightly ‘bruised’ from age but holding together well and the handles are intact. These are pretty good and just the single powered monitor was enough for our vocalist on gigs. Both are 12” / 8 ohm speakers and the internal power amp is rated at 100 watt . Collection best, postage might be possible but I have no boxes for them. I’ve seen the powered one alone on EBay at £75 so maybe these are a bargain for the pair for day to day gigging/rehearsal rooms. -
Probably magnolia Mick!

Yes it does look like that and it was. The days of one bass ownership only, struggling on apprentice wages to pay HP on a an amp head and mates building speaker cabs for me. Those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end.

My second bass, this EB3 was meant to make me sound like Jack Bruce, hard to find in the day but it finally appeared in a weekly instruments for sale column...From the days of black n white from a Box Brownie camera....

Good basses, I've had one for 20 years +. -

-

Great dealing with Mike 'Chimike', taking a blank ash block off me and yes....lots of bass and machines talk, marvelous!

'Vintage' Warwick (82 - 96); neck / relief / truss rod issue
mybass replied to warwickhunt's topic in Bass Guitars
It’s a fretted neck ? If so there may just be a slight chance, especially if it’s been refretted, that the frets may have been ‘forced’ into too narrow a fret slot for the tang width, the hidden part of the fret that seats into the fboard. Many luthiers superglue frets In now so as I say, there may be a slight chance the frets are forcing neck issues. I think there is only one way to check all this I’m afraid and that’s a pro refret job. Other than this by what you are saying, the neck wood itself may not be right. I think early Warwick truss rods were double flat rods that only adjusted one way before the later dual action ones were readily available. -
Roscoe Beck with drummer Tom Brechtline In Robbin Ford’s Blue Line, they always seem to be able to find a different groove and riff for any song Ford wrote.
