  1. [quote name='BigRedX' post='583057' date='Aug 27 2009, 11:14 PM']Which one? There's a whole page of basses there...[/quote] The one called 'Uberhorn'? Not my thing to be honest but ascetics are so very subjective.
  2. I have seen and had my hands on this bass and if Alan wasn't already building me a fretless I'd be more than just interested. As you say very light and very nice indeedy.
  3. Just check all the connections with a multimeter and resolder any dodgy ones. Is it an active or a passive bass? Passive basses are fairly simple electronically.
  4. I'm in Kendal and I'll do it for nowt if you're close.
  5. I don't really see the point of relic'd instruments at all but, for a heavily relic'd body I've seen far, far worse than that one. I actually think it looks pretty good if this is your 'thing'.
  6. This is a superb price. I don't need one but it shouldn't hang around.
  7. [quote name='BigBeefChief' post='582410' date='Aug 27 2009, 01:28 PM']Maybe he should toughen-the-f***-up and stop acting like such a gay? He hardly took a beating.[/quote] Yeah but he was a newbie and not a bassist so he's not used to abuse perhaps?
  8. A part of me was deliberately avoiding this thread while guessing that the usual off topic nonsense would be prevailing. Sadly I looked and my suspicions were confirmed. This guy used BC to offer an opportunity to someone, bollox followed and he's not replying? Now that's hardly a surprise
  9. You can always get a 3 hole Jazz plate and drill 2 more holes in it
  10. Not all Hipshot replacement bridges are aluminium. The one I fitted weighed a tonne
  11. [quote name='RhysP' post='580924' date='Aug 26 2009, 06:26 AM']That's spooky.[/quote] It is isn't it
  12. +1 I've got 2 of his ebony ones, nicely made and as you say, so much better than plastic.
  13. What an ungrateful lot Thanks for the idea Clarky. I'll wear my buckle round the back, with a tea towel wrapped around it and with my jeans left in the drawer just in case. I'll also get one of these so that nothing else sticks out and causes a rash
  14. Err... you guys aint gonna believe this.... It wasn't me either
  15. Definitely Japanese (the IV), as I believe is the listed Geddy Lee too. Peter
  16. John I know Sir! Putting hand up from the back of the class. The MM IV is Japanese and the MM V is USA. They are indeed a fine bass, I've put a Sadowsky pre in mine too. 70's pickup position too.
  17. Nice work there!
  18. Oh no Russ!!!!! Hopefully your sanity will be regained before someone buys this absolute beauty of a bass. I managed nearly 12 years without a gig and still got up to 20+ basses

    I don't know why, but this made I laugh
  20. It's generally accepted that the GS's are more scooped in the mids. Someone will probably come along and trash that theory in a minute however I've used both as a pair and like both. I would go for the DB's for my favourite tone though.
  21. Brilliant idea. I've no need for one as adding tinware and an ebony finger rest to my P seems to have cured the very slight neck dive
  22. DB112's have to be in chocolate to sound right as a pair I'm glad you've seen the light. I used my pair with my new Rebelhead last night, brilliant!
  23. Getting on a stage is the best way to improve your playing, and it's great fun to boot.
  24. It's the one I'm thinking of then. Nice lighting as per usual Alan. Peter
  25. Aha, not the Cumbrian one then. About to go and check out the Rebelhead in anger Peter
