Nice set, I'm particularly liking the vintage white 62 RI

EBS Microbass II is a perfect tool for this.

I saw a Lace Helix in the Bass Merchant.

I've never heard of a truss rod 'slipping' like this. You could try a thin card shim between the neck and the bass in the neck pocket, tucked towards the bridge end of the pocket. It might give the trussrod a hand? It's what I'd do anyway and may be worth a try before more drastic repair action is taken. Peter

Nice mellow understated fretless going on there, I enjoyed it. Can't you get that bass a bit higher up, like a violin?

5 days to go, practice Mon, Tue, Thur and Fri, the rhythm guitarist's wrist is out of plaster following his bike crash, set list sorted: Black Magic Woman - Santana version Come up and see me The Passenger Behind Blue Eyes Apache Moving On Old Habits Die Hard Smoke on the Water Sunshine of Your Love Despite mucking about with a bass for about 13 years I should be losing my virginity about 2pm on Saturday, anyone free near Penrith it's at Motherby in someone's garden - The Motherby Fest, 2pm 3 bands for a fiver Oh and we have a name: 'Vanarchy' Peter

Have a look on Thomann, they have a wide variety at a range of prices. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/index.html"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/index.html[/url]

I've only one thing to say: F'kinal' Absolutely stunning.

[quote name='BB2000' post='556607' date='Jul 30 2009, 09:26 PM']TI flats should cope with through body stringing due to the slight gap between the windings.[/quote] Agreed they are supposed to but the only string failure I've ever had has been flats thru body and if I remember correctly (not guaranteed ) they were TI's.

[quote name='cytania' post='555713' date='Jul 29 2009, 10:59 PM']Second set I've had that have snapped, and not even when I was attacking them bigtime. Off to buy some D'Addarios tomorrow, will try flats and see if they tame my Ibanez. On the subject of my Ibanez SRX400 I am finding that although the bridge looks rock solid where the strings go through the metal is getting quite gnarled up. Strings can pop out if tuner slackened. Oh and while I'm at it anyone noticed the tuner collars loosen over the months? Found a loose one on my Ibanez and a couple slack on my Spear (whose R has fallen off as predicted). Annoying night for my two basses...[/quote] Are we talking flats here? Through body stringing?

[quote name='dazco' post='556015' date='Jul 30 2009, 11:31 AM']Then I shall defend myself If someone says "will you post to Spain" and the seller says "yes" and that person does not buy it then what is the point of asking? "Do you post to Spain" "Yes, I do" "Then I refuse to buy your product" [/quote] Well, I must be different then. I might be considering buying something, have a question which is answered in the positive which makes me think some more, can I afford it? No? The wife doesn't approve or oops the car needs a service..... It happens on BC sales all the time too, in fact some people even say 'I'll have it' and then change their mind. Including me once

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='555854' date='Jul 30 2009, 08:37 AM']Nope. They're waiting for more information, photos of the neck pockets, etc. I know this, because I'm one of those 'idiots'.[/quote] I did think that statement about the 'Idiots' was pretty over the top. All the questions and answers served to illustrate the honesty of the seller too imo.

Okay, what's a TV Logo guys?

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='555485' date='Jul 29 2009, 07:30 PM']Have they got anything as thick as my head? probably not[/quote] Hey we all make mistakes 4mm is quite substantial. I like to custom order bass spk leads so as to get them the right length exactly, not oodles of spare or a bit of a stretch.

That's a nice looking Jazz indeed. The passive tone used as a pull switch for the LED's is well neat too.

Whelk's are great but is a veggie one

You really did close the other thread As I said there, I'm more than happy with custom cables at a good price from Dave. Amp/Cab cables as thick as your arm, well nearly [url="http://www.bassic.co.uk/"]http://www.bassic.co.uk/[/url]

I use Dave's leads and I'm not too ashamed to put in a plug (and a pun): [url="http://www.bassic.co.uk/"]http://www.bassic.co.uk/[/url]

The insurance company will have a claim on it. Sadly if a whole chain of people have bought this bass for a fair price in good faith then a lot of people have a claim to it and it's probably best left in my experience unless you want an expensive court case. These issues are far from straightforward. One of my basses is a special edition purchased without a case or certificate from 'Crack-Converters'. Both I and the previous owner carried out our own checks to try and ascertain if it was stolen and came up with nowt. What more can you do?.

Welcome in Adi, I think I beat Zoe to it

I'd vote for pretty much anything by Mick Karn. Unmistakable sound. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vsAvMm22zg&feature=related"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vsAvMm22zg...feature=related[/url]
