    I do love it when you post in this forum @Rabbie 👍 Lovely strings, wish I had the spare cash

    There you go 👍

    Nicely put, and yes, that sounds like the guy, all 4/4s are firewood and anyone stupid enough to own/play one has to accept that reality My 4/4 is a tad over 44 inches and while it requires more effort/shifts to get around the neck than I do on 3/4, the feel, intonation, and tone are significantly better to the point that I'll happily accept the trade-off with needing more position shifts etc. Having said this, oddly the upper register on the 4/4 is far more accessible than the 3/4, I've yet to figure out why?

    I always wanted a fretless TRB, great catch 👍

    Four years/fair bit of hammer? Think you’ve not done badly Paddy?

    Still here, I suspect I'm going to end up keeping it at this rate

    Used this a few times, it's great for small-medium size/weight mics, not so great with my Heil PR-40 which overwhelmed it slightly! I'm now using a Nadine Ear Trumpet which I'm quite happy with so this is no longer needed Retails around £90, comes with a range of attachments meaning while it will work on the biggest 4/4 it can also be used with many acoustic instruments ranging in size from mandolin to cello.

    Having said that my Warmoth 4-string Precision FL neck is the same width at the nut (1.75) and less than 1/4" narrower at the heel, could easily do the job of a 5-er with the correct drilling of headstock and nut replacement. Anyway, guess that's probably not much help to Dan but thought I'd mention it
  12. Beedster
    Ah, didn't realise that, seems an odd business model though, guess it speaks to the sheer number of Fender players in the US?
  13. Beedster
    Re Warmoth you can order a paddle-head neck, specify correct heel size, and given your skills @d_g, do the headstock yourself? https://warmoth.com/bn-d5sp

    To be fair you can achieve a decent unlined finish by simply de-fretting and using wood/filler of the same colour as the existing board. 95% of the time will appear unlined to the trained eye, although if you have a heavily figured board it can be more of a challenge 👍
  15. Beedster
    No, I don’t think so because it will likely cost much the same as having a new neck built, which is your second best option, the best option being waiting for one to come up for sale, which will happen the moment you pay for your commissioned neck…

    And I imagine not cheap
  17. Beedster
    Many thanks, that's very reassuring 👍

    I found that with the Markbass 2x6 (or was it 2x8?) also, it was louder and had somewhat greater **heft** than the PJB Briefcase albeit similar vertical speaker alignment format which I found worked very well for DB gigs ** = term is used with significant caution
  20. Beedster
    I used PJB live with electric and upright for about two years, I used the Super Flightcase (in bigger gigs with an extension cab) and it was very good, and I even used the briefcase for small DB gigs. I do feel that by compariosn with other brands PJB combos are underpowered, but that perhaps is a subjective (and possibly biased) opinion and many other disagree. PJB can be picked up quite cheap used here and elsewhere. 15 years ago it was cutting edge/innoovative in terms of size and quality, these days there is a lot of competition
  21. Beedster
    No it's not generally true, not any more anyway. There are tiny cabs - and cabs with multiple tiny speakers - that can sound amazing compared to much larger cabs of lower quality. Quality, not quantity, is a big part of the picture (not the only part however)
  22. Beedster
    At least this wide
  23. Beedster
    I honestly think I could build that bass 😆
  24. Beedster
    You're not an idiot @peponbass, I think you took more precautions than many people would (e.g., Google image search, phone number etc), and were pretty unlucky to be scammed on such a small item. Thanks for sharing either way 👍
  25. Beedster
    It's been asked a few times and the answers will vary with luck, region, even individual driver (e.g., my Parcelforce guy is amazing, DPD generally good, the UPS driver/depot on the other hand......) Most people agree that Evri are to be avoided I believe 👍
