    [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1415990312' post='2605938'] Hi Nik Good to hear from you mate, hope all's well? Decided to get the electronic doobry out for this and results are below (not entirely sure where spacing should be measured so have given three options) Centre B to centre E string at tailpiece 18.10mm [attachment=176356:IMG_3468.jpg] Outside of G string to outside of D string at saddle 18.63mm [attachment=176357:IMG_3471.jpg] Centre to centre of G to D string at saddle 17.44mm [attachment=176358:IMG_3479.jpg] And I have just reweighed the bass and sorry to those of you who PM'd asking me to do so, it is still 5kg. I was wondering whether the scales were crap so weighed the TRB6, which is far bigger (56mm at the nut and 20mm spacing), but that weighed in at 4.3kgs. The vagaries of wood I guess I will say that I don't find the fiver heavy (it's certainly lighter than my old Wal which I really had to grapple with. Having said this I do own a mid 70's Strat that weighs in at 4.3 kgs, the same as the TRB6, so perhaps I'm just a real man [/quote] Hi Chris I'm good thanks; hope you are too? That string spacing sounds more like it to me, and certainly a more comfortable fit for a larger group of players on here I would have thought. Looks like a very, very nice bass to my eyes; Yamaha make such understated high quality gear that they probably don't get as much praise as they should! Nik

    Great looking bass Chris; GLWTS! Quick question - is the string spacing really 17mm at the bridge? I though that Yamaha 5s were generally 19mm at the bridge - certainly the two I've had over the last 10 years have been.. Nik

    And another BUMP. Potentially, the last 'pre-EvilBay' BUMP! As always, I'd much rather sell on Basschat if possible. Nik

    [quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1407497983' post='2521138'] Just bought two 12" JBL cabs with Eminence drivers from Stevie and can't thank him enough for his help throughout! Completely brilliant deal, great comms and he even packed them up and shipped them out to me just before going on his holiday.. Stevie is an absolute top bloke to deal with and I can't recommend him highly enough to one and all here on Basschat! Thanks Stevie [/quote] ...Two and a half months on and I'm still buying quality gear from Stevie! This time around, a Studiospares pre-amp arrived at Silverfoxnik Towers in super-quick time and it's just what was required. So in terms of leaving feedback, I can only repeat what I've already said above.. Thanks again Stevie! Nik

    Bought a jack to jack speaker cable from Dave at the South East Bash. It's brilliant bit of kit and as ever, Dave is always a pleasure to deal with! We're lucky to have him here on Basschat... Nik

    Sunday BUMP! Fabulous & rare valve pre-amp still for sale.. Make me an offer...
  15. silverfoxnik
    Another BUMP! There must be someone out there that needs an inexpensive, good quality 5 string bridge, either for an upgrade or a build project..??

    Very surprised this hasn't sold! I remember having a play on this at a South East Bash a few years ago, and it sounded fabulous. I've had three of these over the last 7 years and IMHO, its a flawlessly designed bass, beautifully made and so versatile its untrue.. If funds would permit at this time, I'd definitely be buying this.. But as they don't, then all I can do is wish you all the best with sale!

    [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1415385470' post='2599875'] Great stuff, Nik and Colin While I'm sifting through the pics from the bash, I feel I really have to post one of Chimike with his awesome, still unfinished amp/cab jobby. It's the one at the centre of the group photo above, and we had stuck on the amp a piece of paper with "Ped" written on it! [/quote] Great picture by the way Silvia!

That's great news... In terms of what we might do with the profits., we discussed splitting it between these three causes; Prostate Cancer UK DEC Ebola Crisis Appeal Enable Me Hope everyone is comfortable with those choices, but if not, please feel free to suggest some alternative suggestions.
