Just bought another cable off Ian as the first was so good! Great chap to deal with and highly recommended. Thanks again Ian.

Bought a Steinberger off Joe, splendid chap, a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.

Mike just purchased a bass cab from me in what was a smooth and easy transaction. Great communication throughout and would be happy to deal with him again any day. Thanks Mike and hope you enjoy using the cab as much as I did.

A massive thank you to the Admin guys here on BC. Well done chaps!

Lovely bass and possibly one of the most desirable years but I would physically check it out before parting with your hard earned cash. Statements like "has been in the loft for 3-4 years untouched" sends alarm signals ringing. Its the worst place in the world to keep a bass - too hot in summer - too cold and maybe damp in winter. I'm not saying it has suffered because of this but just be careful.

Ok, a bit of an update on the plastics repair. Although I'm probably one of the worlds worst sceptics when it comes to these sorts of things I did go ahead and order one of the plastic repair kits on line. Well what can I say, I'm really very impressed with the outcome. As icastle mentioned in an earlier post the kit does seem like it is resin based as the liquid has that characteristic smell about it. However I followed the instructions and used a small Dremel type tool to cut a groove along the break and then filled the channel using a drop of the mixture at a time as they demo in the video. Left it overnight and it's a proper job and I would go as far as saying that the repair is as every bit of strong as the plastic itself. I did consider the other suggestions before going with the repair kit but none of these were really practical for a number of reasons. But anyhow thanks for the suggestions chaps. So there you have it. If you have any awkward plastic parts to repair on your bass then I would seriously consider looking at this repair kit as an option. Mrs. W. may even get the plastic nozzle repaired on the vacuum cleaner now!

Thanks for the response guys. Below is a shot of the part in question. The split has been held open with a screwdriver blade just to emphasise it. It's probably a heat stress related as these things get pretty warm over several hours. Checking with someone who repairs car bumpers may be an option but its always a challenge to do these sorts of things by yourself.

Thanks. I'll get a photo of the part posted when I get home later. Replacement isn't totally out of the question but the fixture was made by Coemar in Italy (so read that as dammed expensive and quite difficult to get hold of). Repair seems best option and I hear what you say about none of the major players selling this type of product but looking at the video it all looks a bit of a faff (not that it worries me) so this may be one reason why it hasn't caught on?
