  1. I saw Ozric Tentacles Electronic... Synth and Guitar... Good time, but what was missing? Real bass interplay... Program a drum track if really need be, but don't sack off real bass
  2. The white line in the black block? Can make it out in pics 1, 3 and 6... looks a little like a light reflection... Like the Natural 'n Blocks...
  3. Kick out the jams - MC5
  4. Attack of the 50' Woman - The Tubes
  5. 10 Seconds of Forever - Hawkwind @baldwinbassbeat me...
  6. Loves my HB850 Acoustic Bass with Flats... makes me relax... £120ish... must be down to pence per hour now, thats cheap therapy!
  7. "HELLO LATVIA!....I can't Hear You!... Rock 'n Roll..." Basschat is more Hi-de-Hi... Welcome... Oh, we shall need some Pics of those basses mind, just to make sure ya not an undercover drummer or summit... It's like showing ya passport!
  8. ah yes... well, we will let that in as well then... as it asked nicely...
  9. Isn't the body silhoeuette the same, Slab v Contour... either shape head stock allowed
  10. So... what was the outcome?
  11. Elephant Bush Typicaly 18mm hole... Fishy Tales Sleeve Typicaly 13mm... Ain't this thing sorted yet... Pics?
  12. Body Shape 'n Split Coil... anything else is P Bass+
  13. Google 'Half Round Wire'... Something like Stainless Steel... maybe 2mm... stuck with thin double sided... measuring up shouldnt be too bad... might only need to do say 12 to get the idea... then intonation wont be much ofcan issue, You might need to shim the nut slots a little ...
  14. Nope... they keep me company! They are all relatively cheapies though... nice, but nowt luxury price. And just one Motorbike and one Scooter...
  15. Sam Gopal... Unmistakeable Lemmy Vocals in a pre Hawkwind Psychedelic Blues Style... Nice in the sun...

    twas called the Sound Enhancer Stand... but was for open backed combos and channeling from the back down and under... might just stick with my Gator Frameworks Tilt Stand...

    Cab Riser

    Vaguely recall some sort of empty box / cab that had something like a transmission line port... you sat your combo (cab) on top and it increased or excenuated the bass, made it sound louder my moving more air... got a tilt back stand but can"t help thinking a coupled empty sound box would be better. like having ya hi fi speakers on an old empty sideboard. Anyone any ideas... design wise... empty box? Was thinking about a Ply or MDF sleeve cover.... slot in the top for the handle... a sort of half case. Simply take the ply sleeve cover of the combo... place the combo on the ply sleeve cover! Or have the cover on its back and firing out the front! In my Gtr days i used a length of 2" x 2" tucked under the front edge of the combo to tilt it back a bit...
  18. @OliverBlackman Yours? 😀 Nice 'n subtle, oozing style over fashion... I'd even go for cream covers...
  19. aged gold annodised...
  20. What is the condition of the tuners like... 4 In Line? Got some Black Fish Tails... £7.50 posted? Do some pics n measures if interested! Edit: Just looked... The Arbour has Elephant Ears... so the 1 screw Fish Tails' post will be to small...
  21. Bridge Saddle Adjust Allen Head Screws... Spalding Fastners of the bay... A2 stainless Hex Head Grub Screws Ibanez 4mm size rather than Fender 3mm me thinks... but check! go for Dog Point... couple of quid! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DOG-POINT-A2-STAINLESS-STEEL-METRIC-SOCKET-ALLEN-GRUB-SCREWS-M3-M4-M5-M6-/293221192240?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 I've had 3 lots from them to replace saddle screws on cheapy bridges, replacing the badly cut ends with a nice Dog Point, and used different lengths so ya dont get loads sticking out the saddle and in ya hand! Also did the Epi LP guitar saddles... Soak the saddles in plus gas or WD40 for a bit if old screws are stiff and rusty to stop em wrecking the threads in the saddles tacking em out...
  22. Burning Down the House - Talking Heads
