  1. Three questions for yourself and those knowledgeable in such things. Is it compatible with the Sterling 5? (I'm thinking that the neck dimensions are the same). Are the tuners Ultralites? What is the weight of the neck vs a wooden one? Edited to add - it won't fit. 5 vs 6 bolt fixing Peter
  2. I'm lucky enough to own a Marleaux and this one is also stunning. I think they all are
  3. Bass of the day for me was probably the Moth. If it were fretted I'd be pleading with Alan to let me have it (yes I know there's a queue Dave ). Did anyone actually get around to counting how many ACG's had 'come home'? I wonder what Alan feels like when confronted with all his history? Peter
  4. Well, having gone up a day early to miss the snow and stayed on a day for the same reason I'm finally home. It was a little dicey in the final couple of miles as I thought it may be but the thaw was on and I made it. Best ever no doubt! The friendly atmosphere was a credit to all. My non bass friends who were staying in the hotel over the road came along for an hour and were bemused, amused and enchanted at the same time by this odd gathering. What with looking after them, listening to the band and being terrified as my Basseokey spot neared my camera was severely neglected but I'll check out the results. Thanks go to everyone who was there and took part in some great bassy banter. Especial thanks go to Alan, Dave, Shaun and the band and especially Lihnnie for those great cakes Peter
  5. I was loaned this bass for a couple of weeks. It's that good that it made me a 5 string player
  6. That looks like a whole lot of fun. Congratulations Peter
  7. I would suggest you include EAD cabs in your list. I'm biased as Dave is a friend but I don't think you'll find a better 3 way 2 x 12. If you're near to Chorley you could check em out too. http://www.extendedaudiodesign.co.uk/ Peter
  8. I bought a replacement Skyline neck from Lakland in the States and it was less than that.
  9. I'm sorry but I don't see where all this negativity comes from. The guy is playing his bass and having a ball. He's brave enough to put himself out there and share, all good imo Peter
  10. " The Rolling Stones are the best band in the World. I think so, so does my wife and our daughter and all her friends". That's from our booted lead singer/guitarist and band creator who refused to play a Snow Patrol track because nobody's ever heard of them
  11. I'd just like to say, Duncan it's been a pleasure. I'm hoping that the Gallus finds a good home in the Netherlands. I've bought and sold quite a few basses to bass chatters in the EU and you have been typical in the respect of a courteous and pleasant experience. Peter

  13. My Salace has won my heart. I've owned may basses and i've never played better and the PM pickup configuration is bliss. I need to get some decent light to take some of my own photos. I'll shut up now: [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=1641756497&k=mXHSQZM&lb=1&s=A][/url] [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=1641756482&k=RBddNB4&lb=1&s=A][/url] [url=http://peterb4407.smugmug.com/Other/SmugShots/20297576_MJZnTm#!i=1641756473&k=MDsBzTQ&lb=1&s=A][/url]
  14. Whooaa Rita returns Very nice too, has she aged well?
  15. +1, although I covet this bass dearly
  16. Stunning woodiness. Mmmmm ebony Peter
  17. [quote name='4000' timestamp='1325717768' post='1486720'] Peter, you can always make an offer.. Good to hear from you by the way, long time no see! [/quote] The only offer I could suggest at the moment Sean would involve a trade with my Clover and my ACG Graft. Money is thin on the ground. It truly is a lovely bass, Robbie has woven his magic well. Peter
  18. That's a good price indeed, mine was over £2,400 new. These really are stunning instruments up there with the very best.
  19. An opportunity to own a Marseer! Wow what a bass. I wish I had the money spare because I'd buy it no doubt at all Peter
  20. If you're thinking in terms of bass, treble and mid then it's my opinion (for what it's worth) that you need to cast away such notions when using filter based pre-amps. I've said this before but with a 2 or 3 EQ you tweak your tone, with a filter pre you create it. Just my thoughts
  21. [quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1325531040' post='1484084'] That's a better song than any other of The Weather Report's stuff. [/quote] How do you spell 'phillostine' ? Birdland vs 'It's raining Men'. Halleluya
  22. Mark at Bassdirect may be your man too. Peter
  23. Behaviour may be fact but maybe motive "and do feel that he's just sticking 2 fingers up at me" is conjecture so given the above it would be good if the thread doesn't deteriorate the way these kind of threads often do. The guy may be ill, if not physically then mentally, he may have other problems that put a gig bag return into a low priority issue. He may not be the biggest deviate since Jack the Ripper. I hope it's sorted soonest.
