Interesting. Is this good or bad news?

Still have my second bass, a '64 Burns Jazz bass that I got around 1973. I traded my first bass - a Japanese Columbus jazz - and paid a little more (£12??) for it.

I was lucky to bag a Marleaux Consat on a popular auction site. The guy who actually won the auction was based in Switzerland and - when he realised -chose to pull out of the deal owing to all the additional charges he faced. I was the second highest bidder and the seller (based here in Belgium) honoured my last bid. Sad for the guy in Switzerland.

Has anyone used DPD at all (in UK or Europe)?
Yes.............both to and from Belgium.
They are certainly one of the better ones in my experience.

I run EBS together with Vanderkley (2x12).....very punchy, clean sound.

Yeah....I tend to wash my hands before and wipe the instrument after playing. Takes no time at all. Gold hardware also gets a special wipe down, since I've found that it rapidly tarnishes in my hands if not.

I take a back up bass, although I've never had a problem. I guess it's that "just in case" worry. It also helps me justify having more than one bass 😃.

Recently purchased a Levinson Blade bass from @Aero71. Good seller and super communications throughout. The bass was packaged very well and the courier was handled quickly and efficiently.
Buy with confidence.
Bedankt, Marinus.

My wife has been known to quote something obnoxious when I have forgotten to zip up. "Don't worry dear......you'll never seen a dead budgie fall out of it's cage"

Martin at the gallery once told me it was best to not cut strings
Is that because by doing so it prompts unravelling?

No problems to Belgium.

My first bass was a Columbus Jazz jap copy purchased new in 1971.......according to my Dad "to see if you get the hang of a "plink-plonk" sounding instrument. I traded it in against a 1964 Burns Jazz a couple of years later, which I still have.

I love his comment on his Taurus pedals........ "If you have a soundman who has balls!"

My Fireglo 4003 is from 1999 and has inlays just like yours. Someone will provide a a date (or range) when changes occurred. I recall that they changed from VOC to lower VOC lacquers and added the vintage tone pull pot around 2005-ish. Hope that helps.

I'd suggest you send an email to Hipshot. They're a customer-friendly bunch and will likely mail replacements to you FOC.

Yeah........sad loss. Great songwriter.

Yep...........had report of this happening in a small inustrial unit near to us. Thankfully, the resulting fire was managed before things got really nasty. The fire incident report clearly cited discarded, "soaked" rags after using linseed oil as likely cause.
