What a great thread Skol...thanks for your work! Time for a new PC since the one I got is on its last breaths...so what a better time to get one good enough for recording I will be using the monitor, keyboard and mouse I have so more money towards the tower. Any recommendations, please?

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1425840344' post='2711341'] The best I've found in the UK is DJM Music. They sell Elixir Nanoweb Bass Guitar Strings Elixir String Guage-Medium/Extra Long Scale 45-105 for £29.99 £1.99 Delivery http://www.djmmusic.com/p-13410-elixir-nanoweb-bass-guitar-strings-elixir-string-guage-medium-extra-long-scale-45-105.aspx?gclid=CjwKEAiAg_CnBRDc1N_wuoCiwyESJABpBuMXjwshFScsPQT6XWanQiX8rLha5nIlwcD0B8kskeg9_hoCE7Xw_wcB [/quote] [quote name='Bigjas' timestamp='1425851412' post='2711525'] I've just bought a set from Amazon, £33. Lots of places wanting up to £40. Jas [/quote] Thanks guys...I might check US shops too and see if it's worth ordering from them a few sets

Longtime Elixir string user, I haven't bought any for nearly 3 years since I had a few sets but checking prices now and they are so expensive! I was wondering if any of you know where to get them at a good price. Do you buy them in the UK, import them from the States?

I bought a Comfort Strap from Rich and I couldn't be happier. It was as described, communication was excellent and it was delivered safely. Thanks!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1425030806' post='2703071'] I wouldn't bother. It could pick up worse in the process. I'd count that as its first ding and relax! [/quote] Yes, I might leave it, I'm not to bothered about it. [quote name='charic' timestamp='1425032731' post='2703112'] I think it depends on the paint used but fair enough, I've played "sticky" feeling necks and know what you mean but my shuker neck is really easy to play [/quote] [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1425033592' post='2703131'] As is my Spector neck. Very smooth indeed. [/quote] I agree but no painted necks for me

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1425029637' post='2703040'] Please tell me that the back of the neck is painted white too! Then it would be damn near perfection [/quote] No, no paint on the back of the neck... to be honest had a Fernandes bass with the neck also painted and I didn't like the feel.

[quote name='inate_hex' timestamp='1424980770' post='2702635'] Nice! Is that a mark on the F of Fender though? [/quote] [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1424985370' post='2702734'] It's merely the Fender mojo process at work. [/quote] You are both right! Tiny little mark on the F of the Fender logo...you know, the relicing process has started! Fender have offer to replace the logo any time I want, easy job as the decal sits on top if the paint... but for now, I'm not too bothered about it, I have been playing non stop...in a few weeks I might send it off to them to have it replaced.

Thanks people! I'm very happy with the bass, the pics don't show how truly beautiful it is. This bass has everything I have ever wanted on a bass, from the colour combination and finishes to the awesome super comfortable and easy to play neck. It balances perfectly when strapped and it's not too heavy. It plays amazingly well, low action and no fretbuzz anywhere. Sounds really, really well to my ears.

It's finally here, my new Fender Custom Shop has arrived! Fender Jazz Bass in Olimpic White with Matching Headstock, made to my specs. It started as their '64 Custom Shop model but I went with white binding and a thinner jazz neck profile, similar to the Geddy Lee neck. Other than that it has all the vintage specs for that model.

Up to date with the likes again!

Wow, really nice basses showing here! Very tempted myself to order one Anyone near Brighton that don't mind me having a quick play on his Limelight, please?

I bought a set of Elixir strings of Matt and they arrived next day. He was a pleasure to deal, highly recommended Basschatter Thanks Matt!

All liked!...some great music/bands found

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Excellent idea!... Here it's my band [b]Killing Vegas[/b][/font][/color] [url="https://www.facebook.com/Killingvegasuk"]https://www.facebook.../Killingvegasuk[/url] I will start listening and liking all yours now

Excellent service from Thomann always too...and I've used them quite a few times! Even when returning a bass I bought, which was really nice but I found a nicer one here on Basschat two days later, I rang them to have it returned and they arranged everything for me and didn't cost me a penny, no question asked.
