Excellent service received from Brian at EarlPilanz for my scratch plate. Thanks for the recommendations. Had the original and new ones back within 2 days of him receiving the original to use as a template. Overall pleased with the result, black looks a lot better than the original mint coloured guard IMO. Only niggle is that It's about 2mm out on the bottom edge next to the control plate.

What strings are you favouring ??

Same strings on all the basses??

Did any more information emerge about these new Trace Amps? And despite the UK branding on the boxes I've seen on the Elf's are these all designed in the US and produced in the Far East? I've never owned a trace rig, too big and heavy to consider these days but I've played through a couple of TE cabinets at rehearsal studios which were great.

Purchased a Xvive wireless setup from Paul. Unfortunately it didn't work out for me so it's back up for sale but that's nothing to do with @bassfan. The buying process was excellent, Paul offered me a great price - had it in the post the next morning, provided me with all the tracking details and I received it the next day. Great communication, well packaged, good price. Would happily buy gear from Paul again, especially if he fancied offloading one of those lovely basses 😁

Thanks very much. I've dropped a message through to see what they could do for me.

Hi All, Any recommendations on where to get a replacement pickguard made for a MIJ Sadowsky Metroline? Sadowsky no longer sell them direct, I'm in conversation with Pickguard planet in the US but I'm sure there may be a cheaper alternative here in the UK - any recommendations? Thanks

@Rich- this was posted in the guitar strap thread .. might get you started on your steam punk journey https://m.thomann.de/gb/minotaur_spb08_steampunk_timemaker_br.htm

Have you considered purchasing a sofa bed??

That's a lot of Jazz bass goodness right there. The status is a bit of a snob though .. won't slum it there on the sofa with the J's

What about something like sgh's Spitfire... Or colour shifting like @bassfan's Status

Mrs T is probably a little piddled off thinking .... bits of guitar everywhere, why can't he just put stuff away??!! .... then I wouldn't have to tidy it 😁 Can Yamaha not supply you one directly?

Any sound clips to share of the recordings @ped ? I'm quite curious to hear what Asian Inspired Fusion sounds like..

John's been giving me advice on a specific electronics project I'm about to undertake and has even helped supply the components I needed. Delivery was super fast and well packaged. kiOgon is a great asset to the BC community thanks for all the help! Patrick

@Andyjr1515 - who's the lucky recipient, and what's the next project?
