    I've recently got the bat out of it's case, not used it since 2017 and still in tune. Anyway,this week I found a stand on Amazon. 

    It's very sturdy, well made and fits the B2a perfect. It's advertised as a Uke/Violin stand and cost £12 free postage. Absolutely made up, I've been looking for a stand off and on since the 80s

  2. Hi All !

    I recently purchased a second hand Hohner B2A bass. It has the DB bridge fitted.
    My problem is that I am not able to detune lower than "D#".
    I found a PDF nammed "Steinberger DB Bridge User Guide" on the internet that confirms I was doing the right procedure. I tune the E string as normal, using the rear thumbscrew, whilst the detune leaver facing forward towards the fretboard.

    1.To set the drop tuning, I Flip the leaver towards the rear of the bass.

    2. I then turn the top thumb screw anticlockwise to detune but it  will not go any lower than "D#".

    3. Then when I return the flip leaver to the normal E tuning position, nothing happens, it is still at the D#.

    Any ideas ?
    Thanks !

    Greg



     

  3. Hi All,



    When connected to the transmitter, when you turn the volume pot on the bass up or down, there is a loud scratching and popping sound.
    The sound is typical of a dirty pot.

    The G2 AF peak also lights up.

    I have tried different basses but the problem still exists.
    Could it be the lead? is the wiring different?

    I loaned the unit to my son and have not used it for about 2 years until now.
    Thanks for any advice

  4. This bass has been a dream.
    1982 mc924 ds, might be up for grabbs W.H.Y.

    I had a quick look but could not see any spares. Give them a call.

    Hi Mate,
    I had the same problem as the thread started to slip upon tensioning the string.
    I bought a set of 4, they were about £5 each. I shall have a root,as I have them in a jiffy
    bag with the delivery note. I can't remember the company name,only they are based in
    the West country.
    I shall get back to you.

  7. [quote name='crez5150' post='972024' date='Sep 29 2010, 07:50 PM']This is the same on my mk1 black beauty[/quote]
    Thanks for the reply,seems I'm not the only one.
    I might contact Rob as would prefer side only as the option.

  8. Hi,
    Thanks for looking.
    Ihave been reading the led description of switching on the status price list.
    Front and side led switching says as follows:
    1.[b]Side only on[/b]
    2.Front and side on
    3.All off

    My bass led configiuration
    1.[b]Front only on[/b]
    2.Front and side on
    3.All off
    Is this right? or was it a design on the Mk 1.
    I would much rather have the option of side led,s on only.
    Is it a simple task of changing the wiring on the switch or not.
    Many thanks
    Greg

  9. [quote name='Fat Rich' post='968871' date='Sep 26 2010, 09:40 PM']Should do, my S2 Classics came with Duracell Pro batteries in from the Status factory and I've got normal Duracell in my older S2.

    Pretty sure the Kingbass uses the same Gotoh battery box so shouldn't be a problem. The batteries last forever for the preamp.[/quote]
    Many thanks,all sorted with duracell.

  10. [quote name='geoffbyrne' post='854182' date='Jun 1 2010, 09:38 PM']I know I'll regret this - a Mid-70's high-quality Japanese (personally I reckon it *might* be Uncle Mat) J-Bass neck - (I took advice from Bassassin on this) - which I've had on a couple of bodies. Extra holes have been glue-plugged. This is a great neck to 57 dimensions. As I play mostlt 5ers now, it's surplus. With all hardware. £45 collected, open to offers.






    Schaller Chrome 3D 4 string bridge pluss odd screws. £25 posted.




    Ibanez Tonelock CF7 Chorus/Flanger - £15 posted. Sold pending usual.




    Ibanez Soundtank CP5 Compressor - £15 posted.





    Schaller Volume Pedal - £25 posted.






    Stagg A200 Jazz guitar from my son's 'Jamie Cullum' period - lasted about 10 days. I've had a proper fret-job done on this & replaced the crap bridge with a semi-decent one. It plays beautifully & stays in tune. Currently strung with 11-58 flats. There are a few *very* light scuffs, but it's largely unmarked. There is a semi-hard (polystyrene) shaped case with this. It cost £200 plus case about 2 years ago, so I'd really like £120 collected, but open to offers.






    Yamaha Nathan East NE-1. Took me 2 years to find one of these in Ebay. £30 posted.



    I also have unphotographed a boxed matched pair of Joe Barden twin-rail humbucking Jazz Bass pickups. £110 posted. Pics later.

    Also have an IBM T43 laptop, XP, 2Gig RAM, 80 Gig HD, with CDROM + DVDROM/CDRW + removable 40Gig HD + 2 power supplies + 12V car voltage converter + very good Titanium effect Antler briefcase. £180 collected - open to offers. Again, pics later

    PM me for further details.

  11. [quote name='peteb' post='748959' date='Feb 17 2010, 09:14 PM']I’ve got a 4u rackbag going spare if anyone needs one

    It’s a pro quality rack, lightweight & well padded - originally made up for the BBC, black with red straps and a large pocket for leads, etc. It’s certainly seen a bit of work but still perfectly serviceable and a pro piece of kit

    No photos at the moment (just clearing out my house prior to renting it out and no camera here at the moment), but I will take some later if anyone is interested

    I only want £25 for it and for that price I don’t really want to parcel it up and post it, but still not bad if anyone is passing thru the Bradford area and needs a cheap rack!

    Cheers – Pete[/quote]
