  1. I’m not going to tell them what they should do.
  2. That seems a rather good deal!
  3. He no want to sell...
  4. In fairness, I think the OP may have accidentally forgotten to include a link and they didn't appreciate the tone of the reply.
  5. Someone needs to get on his case!
  6. £1k is a bit fanciful IMHO. Plus it feeds back!
  7. Burn it! 🙂
  8. Necro-thread... I was looking for info on Riverheads and saw this; coincidentally, I acquired a Flyte a couple of weeks ago:
  9. I'm sure I've seen pics of those (or similar) before.
  10. He has the power!
  11. Time for a gratuitous link to my Rickenberger... ...which was inspired by Darren Redick's:
  12. That's what it says: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115623580494
  13. But it's "READY FOR YOUR HIGH END BASS GUITAR PROJECT"!
  14. I think it's preparing for a pull-off.
  15. That’s my storage area!
  16. That would be great! I’ll message you.
  17. Well, having said which two I would go for, I bought this yesterday (30" scale).
  18. Yep - I guess I've broken my vow of moderation over the festive period...
  19. Oops! - I appear to have won the auction for the Westone Quantum too! (I put a bid on it before I went out yesterday, but was expecting to be outbid...)
  20. Are the strings original? 🙂
  21. Yep - never do things by half! I managed to fit parts leftover from a cheap Chinese "Overlord" bridge yesterday evening, so now the bass has strings; it seems to play fine, so that's a result. The bridge saddles did need a bit of fettling to fit them into the Steinie bass plate (their sides weren't exactly parallel or they had a slight lip at the bottom, so they just needed a tiny bit taking off with a small hand file) but nothing too much. The tuner does grind a bit, so I'm viewing it as a stop-gap and I'd like to get decent/proper parts instead. (I have got some thrust bearings on order, though they were intended for other basses, so may or may not find their way onto this.) Next step is the preamp doesn't appear to work; I put in a new 9V battery and plugged in a jack, but the LED doesn't light up. Fixing that might require a bit more effort.
  22. River-<something>? Coincidentally, the shop also had a headless project in the storage area when we went looking for the Flyte's case (haha - a Flyte case!).
  23. 🙂 Yes, I think it may be a refin; I remembered them as silver and with the logo.
  24. Well, I've bid on it; however, I then went out and came home with one if these. ...now on a quest for bridge saddles and a claw.
