Just recieved delivery of a dunlop volume at a good pric,e and great packaging. Thanks Robin

Bought a bow off Ian back in November, exactly as decribed, he met me at Caswells in london when i was getting some work done on my bass, and agreed to let me have 2 weeks to try it out with a money back guarantee. Great guy, great price, quick deal. Sorry for the late feedback, Robin

Bought a Coffin Case of Chris back in October. Very easy and quick deal. Great guy. Sorry for the late feedback, Robin

Bought some books off Mark in October, and after an inital (planned) delay, the transaction was smooth and quick. Sorry for the late feedback, Robin

Bought a trace cab off Chris last May. Great price, and smooth transaction, even accomodated a friend picking it up for me. Thanks again, Sorry for the late feedback, Robin

Bought a lovely bass of Lee last April. Great price, and good timing, although from opposite end of the country, we met only 40 miles from my house. Smooth transaction, and even offered help when the preamp came apart changing thebattery shortly afterwards. Nice to meet you. Sorry for the late feedback, Robin

Bought a Dvd off and April last year, very quick and helpful, and a great dvd. Sorry for the late feedback, Robin

Very helpful guy, sold me some leads in march '09 and was a very smooth and efficient process. Top Guy. Sorry for the late feedback, Robin

Andy offered me a Wireless last February at a crazy low price, and then, after sending it, and giving me some advice on setting it up, refused for me to pay him, becuase the power supply he'd told me before was slightly dogey, was very slightly dodgey (still going strong though). A true gent and a very helpful and kind guy. Sorry for the late feedback, Robin

Bought a Bass Balls off Dave in jan 09 - very helpful, tested the item for me and posted promptly after payment. Sorry for the late feedback, Robin

Thanks guys. I pulled the trigger either way

As title says. Just wondering if the EHX Micro POG is true bypass or not? Thanks, Robin

I was really surprised reading this thread. I have a Boss drum machine (can't remember the model right now) which i think is early nineties and it tracks bass/guitar to midi. Has a small but noticeable amount of delay, and is monophonic, but tracks down to an open E atelast (didn't have a 5 string last time i tried). Got it off ebay a few years ago for £40. I guess it's not as compact, but it's hardly the selling point of the unit, more a little feature. it has audio and midi outs, and allows you to record midi loops etc on the fly fairly easily. Just didn't realise this sort of this was so saught after. Robin

Well, i'm not too worried about the wiring as i can always go through it when i get it and check it all out (done abit myself and know some very good electrician/musicians), and i'm fairly used to heavey basses (both my bubinga Schacka nd my warmoth are pretty monstrous) althoughw as thinking a light one would be a nice change, i guess i'm just a sucker for bubinga and dark solid woods. Most concerning comment to me made so far was that it had a very 'rock' sound. What do you mean by this? I play everything from jazz to funk to brazilean to metal, so it needs to be flexible (although i am hoping to upgrade atleast the p pickup pretty soon after getting it). THanks for all the input, Robin

Hi, i'm looking to buy a fairly cheap 5 string to add to my herd for songs that warrant it (and don't want a fretles) and so that i have a cheaper bass that i worry about a bit less. I've got around £200 at the moment. Looking for either P/j, soapbars or p/MM pups. Was concidering various options, and am now looking into getting a second hand Vintage V950, with the idea of upgrading th pups and preamp with time. Does anyone have any experience with this bass? is it well built? What's the spacing like? I was surprised that a solid bubinga body could be so cheap. How heavy are they etc? Thanks Robin

I've only had one experience with them, but it was good. I was after a set of acoustic bass strings before i went back to uni, and thought it was a highstreet shop aswell and phoned up to get the address (couldn't find it on google maps but knew it was nearby in plymouth), tunred out they're mail order only, but the guy drove out to my house within the hour and gave me the strings free of charge because i needed them that day. Couldn't be happier, some good prices also.
