  1. Just decorative but I use the pickup one as a thumb rest and the bridge one as a place to stuff foam in
  2. Can I ask what the story is with these, other than the new team? I can't find any info EDIT: Found it! How much does it weigh?
  3. Ooo, I'd trade my ESP PC-2V for it??
  4. I got my Charvel from Music Zoo, great site!
  5. [quote name='EssentialTension' post='1009143' date='Nov 1 2010, 11:15 PM']Thomastiks are usually thought to be safe through the body. However I have twice had an A string break at the bridge.[/quote] Ooo, they ain't cheap either!! Maybe roundwounds on a Tele bass ain't so bad after all - just roll the tone switch up to 3 with the foam and its flatwoundish, I might try the TI's at a later date. Thanks for letting me know
  6. Find a friend who thinks that bass/guitars are overly expensive and boring that works for me. My old man is awful for deterring my interest he's all like 'thats the biz!', 'Haven't you wanted one of those for ages?', 'You only live once' etc this tends to lead to a very empty wallet and months of baked beans on toast.
  7. [quote name='Musky' post='1009125' date='Nov 1 2010, 10:59 PM'] [/quote] Haha, I thought that was wicked too! I tend to sh*t on em and rub w*** into the strings so nobody wants to 'give it a go' at band practice
  8. What would you recommend for through body? I'm gonna try some Thomastik Infelds...
  9. So pretty!
  10. Thats my kinda bass!!! I'd take some sandpaper to the back of the neck but other than that living my dream
  11. I'd be interested to compare this with my new '56 replica to see the difference between the single and split pickups. Lovely bass, looks incredible!
  12. Don't do it, disappointments a plenty.
  13. [quote name='Sibob' post='1006519' date='Oct 30 2010, 06:16 PM']Will probably help prospective buyers to put a weight up! Looks great though, good luck with it! Si[/quote] I've found my weight tolerance for Fender Basses is much higher due to the distribution/balance I reckon I could haul a 10lb fender over my usual 9lb preferance. Martin's a top bloke as well (works for Overwater, or did?? So you know its going to have flawless playability). I really like the aged finish but I know i'd still buy a brown Tortoise Shell plate to compare against the black. Rosewood Fingerboard with blocks
  14. Just play the crap out of em all I say, what will be will be but at least you got your moneys worth.
  15. Just wanted to flag up that whilst in the throws of series debate as to whether mim,mij or mia foam is the best Yorick posted me some top notch stuff in the post for nothing in return! What a bloody nice guy, I'm from Carlisle not used to acts of kindness haha. Big thanks to Nige for that!! Sounds the biz
  16. Insane basses, top notch. Tom Hamilton from Aerosmith played the most amazing bass solo on one of these.
  17. Top notch finish indeed! I love the Seymour Duncan Antiquity series
  18. [quote name='yorick' post='1003605' date='Oct 28 2010, 12:21 PM']I've got some high density rubber foam matting if you want a chunk. It's 14mm thick. Drop me a PM if you want some. Nige[/quote] Pm'd
  19. Get 'B' Tattooed on your thumb n keep it
  20. Are you sure its an alder body? I'm not sure when Tokai changed to having Sen Ash bodies
  21. I've always used Thomastik Infeld Flatwounds, I love D'addario rounds but the flats were lacking the vintage tone a lil for me. I'm no expert but TI's are pretty safe, I would go for Labella otherwise.
  22. Just a quick question: Where would I get a hold of this? The Local market? I have seen it in packaging before, i'm thinking its the really firm dark grey stuff. Cheers Oli Matt
