    Give us a shout when you come to sell the P5, cheers. [quote name='dave_bass5' post='593966' date='Sep 9 2009, 04:02 PM']Unfortunately i dont drive so im not really able to go to a gig from anywhere other than my drummers house. The P5 might even belong to someone else by then as im going to sell it as soon as i sort out my DJ5. Ive never even played a fretless and im getting jealous lol.[/quote]

    I fancy a change in my Shuker bass so thinking of getting a new set of pickups. Not sure what yet but thinking of a custom set from Andy at Wizard. So putting a feeler out, to see if anyone would like to buy a set of Nordstrand Big Singles 5-string pickups. These are actually custom sized for an 18mm string spacing, not the usual 19mm the standard pickups. Bridge pickup is 70mm between centre of strings and the neck is 66mm between centre of strings if that helps. Open to offers !

    That would be a great idea

    Before I can buy pantherairsoft's Aphex compressor I need to shift my Zoom B2 effects unit. I'm going to say £45 inc p&p which seems like a fair price. Comes in original box with PSU & manual. Any takers?

    Apologies to all, yes I checked and it was a swap I offered. I will post in the Wanted section for one, and offer my Zoom unit in the for sale section. After checking the Wanted section to see if anyone's after one (obviously) !!!

    I know Bump's are always going to happen on a Forum but behind the scenes it just uses diskspace, resources etc. People should rely on "search" more, especially Sale & Wanted sections. Popular forum topics will always be bumped as people reply.

    What do you know... It's a fairly old post now but I posted a wanted notice for an Aphex Punch Factory pedal a couple of months back. Then, 2 came up for sale here in the last week (a bit like buses) and I missed both. Would it be an idea that fellow users check the "Wanted" section on the BC forum before posting a For Sale notice? Just a thought?

    My Dad ! He's played bass most of his days and one day his late 60's Precision will be mine. Mwaahawhaw......

    [quote name='crez5150' post='567723' date='Aug 13 2009, 10:04 AM']when you say 'your songs' I presume you mean original's..... that's a no no pretty much.[/quote] Hi Crez5150, no I didn't mean originals I meant songs the band want to play or usually play in their set. You might like the latest Metallica number, and play it in your pub set but it doesn't mean you should play it in the wedding set. I guess I was trying to say you have to "read the crowd" and alter the set accordingly.

    I've played wedding gigs for years and yes, some of them are hard work but so long as you have a list of songs that cater for all then generally it's a pretty good night. Some nights it's fast all night, some it's 2 fast, 2 slow. Others it's more ceilidh, other's its mostly modern. You can't pickup over a grand for a wedding and expect to play "your" songs. I think so long as you remember that, then wedding gigs are fine. If your not willing to do that, then IMO you shouldn't really be playing weddings and should be sticking to pub gigs.

    That's a very nice looking bass. I have one word of advice. If you say the back has some "staining" then you should probably show a picture of it, if you can. Other than that, good luck with the sale.

    Funny, I've just been making some adjustments. Put a small shim under the bridge saddle and it's now fixed the buzz. No buzz on any notes. [quote name='alembic1989' post='563859' date='Aug 8 2009, 10:52 PM']Hi, how did you get on with the neck....sorted?[/quote]
  16. largo
    It doesn't choke on any other string, and my guess is taking a bit of tension out the neck will cure it. I'll maybe try that tomorrow, and stick a straight edge (steel ruler) along the board to see if it's raised at a particular spot. It doesn't really choke, just more a buzzy note if that makes sense ! Open to suggestions on how I might cure this. [quote name='alembic1989' post='562175' date='Aug 6 2009, 07:20 PM']Hi, any idea why it's choking in that particular place? Is there a high spot on the fretboard? Does it choke in the same spot on the other strings?[/quote]

    I have a 4-string Ashbury Electro-Acoustic Fretless Bass, like this one [url="http://www.hobgoblin.com/local/bigpic.php?ID=GR5648"]click here[/url] Bought it on BC, and have now realised I'm not a fretless player. Don't really play it so looking to sell it on for the price I paid, £120 + £20 P&P Comes with a gig bag. The string chokes/buzzes a little around the 10th - 12th fret on the G string but still a bit of fun to have lying around the house for the right person. Guess it's easily fixed with a decent setup or new bridge, just can't be rsed.

    A few people have enquired about the nut width of the bass. I'm not really sure how to measure nut width, but width of the actual nut is 45mm and spacing between centre of B & G strings is 37mm give or take. Hope this helps answers the questions. And thanks very much for all the positive comments.

    Sorry d-basser, a 6 just isn't for me. Tried it, and it was 1 (some would say 2) strings too many. Thanks though. [quote name='d-basser' post='556677' date='Jul 30 2009, 11:13 PM']Wouldnt want to trade this for my Sei would you?[/quote]

    Hey, you nicked our band name [url="http://www.bignightoutband.co.uk"]Big Night Out[/url] !!!!! Based in Scotland too but on the East Coast. And it seems like your playing a few of our usual haunts too. Hope you're not playing on our good name.....

    For a long time, Richard Jones has appeared as an endorsee on the Shuker website. Isn't he the guy from The Feeling ? In todays pop market, they must be about the same level as Kaiser Chiefs ?

    Hehe, my bass made the new home page although it's got MOP blocks now.
