    This is a modern gypsy-jazz classic.

    I’m really sorry, I don’t know! I got them fitted at a shop and they worked fine. I’ve double checked them and that’s the length.
  3. Burns-bass
    Still here!
  4. Burns-bass
    Nobody wanted them in the 90s. I’m not entirely sure why they’re so popular now to be honest after having owned a few.

    Hi, it’s still available, sadly no case. I could send it, fire me across a Pm

    I think there are some great ideas here. Could It be worth chatting with some local studios or acoustic firms who may be able to help you? I’m not suggesting s begging letter, but companies may want to get involved to help.

    It’s certainly an agricultural repair.

    This is car boot sale crap. The vintage obsession is getting out of hand, especially when you consider you could buy a mega Ashdoen or Ampeg rig for the same price.
  9. Burns-bass
    Agreed. Awesome headphones.

    String lengths are (in centimetres): G - 149.5 D - 158 A - 154 E - 163
  11. Burns-bass
    Still available!

    I'm in a similar position to your friend. I'm in two bands and I do one rehearsal every week with one, and the other is every couple of weeks. Bands are odd things. It can all get a bit emotional, however what worked for me was telling the guys that I was finding it difficult to manage everything and I needed a breather. People are usually pretty reasonable (if you give them the chance to be). It can get a bit fraught though. This week I'm doing a practive at 7:30 - 1- and then a gig at 10:45, so it's not ideal!

    I reckon this thread is at risk of going the way that any thread about jazz does... Music is entirely subjective and where one may hear unstructured noodling, another may infer a beautiful and melodic piece that challenges conventions with every chord change. (I'm the latter). Jazz is no better or worse than any other genre, it's just different. Back to the thread, this has inspired me to pop along to my local jazz jam this month. I'll let you know how I get on (badly, I imagine).

    That’s sort of the entire point, isn’t it?

    If this is all about losing money then I could have bought Bitcoin pretty early. Biggest annoyance was not buying a pre EB stingray for £500 and a refinished 64 jazz (£2000) and One of Steve Harris’s Jazz basses he have a tech at the end of a tour (£750). Every other guitar I’ve wanted I’ve bought.

    This is terribly sad. I've never seen what this guy does, but the briefest glimpse makes my heart sink. I'm particularly struck by the headstock 'decal' that's done with a bloody Bic biro. It's for the unsuspecting parents and relatives or the new guitarist who is conned by this rubbish. I once got scammed on a vintage Fender when I was first starting out and I'm still a little bitter about it (I didn't lose money, some strong words sorted it out).
  17. Burns-bass
    Done!

    This is a great bass driver / DI box. I got this recently and have used it a few times for practice and as a backup for a couple of gigs. However, I prefer to use my Fishman as I’m mostly doing DB stuff now. These are unbelievable value for money... i cant attach photos (will do what I can).
  19. Burns-bass
    Amen to that! Hope it all works out for you. It’s so exciting to unwrap it and start playing. Took me weeks to get over the initial delight and into the set up and tweaking.

    If you’re getting a bass built for you it’s understandable that others may not find the same sizes and specs to their liking. I’ve got a couple of custom instruments and they were always bought with the belief I’d keep them forever. While one is a well known DB builder (and an appreciating asset) the other probably lost 50% of its value as soon as I’d plucked a string.

    These are a really decent set of Spiro Weichs. These were fitted to an SLB 100 and used for a period of about 15 - 20 hours before I sold the bass (to someone here on BC if I remember rightly...) The shop that fitted them snipped them, so they’re probably more suited to an EUB. I can measure each string if you want / need me too. Just let me know. They sound great, obviously. I think £80 including delivery sounds fair. Cant seem to upload a picture as it’s too large. Will sort that!

    Weekend bump -now £400.
  23. Burns-bass
    Hi Darren. The Schaller type ones are on the middle. I’ll have to get another pic up tomorrow. Will DM you!

    This is a lovely shirt-scale Gretsch Electromatic Bass. It’s a lovely thing that I bought on here for my daughters to learn on. They prefer 6 strings so I’m moving it on for what I paid. It’s in great nick, with the plastic still on the plate. There was a knock at the bottom of the horn which has been professionally touched up. Take a look! I’m based in Bristol and you’re more than welcome to come and give it a try. This is a great little giggable Bass. (The inflatable 3 belongs to my daughter and is not included!)
