Thanks very much guys, Great info, I am going to try some of the strings suggested. Watch this space.....

Great info guys, thanks. The strings I tried were 34" scale and I was careful about where I cut the end so I didn't have 34 turns around a very narrow capstan. They still snapped though.

I'm wary of buying any more until I know they won't snap again. Roundwounds are no problem, ever.

Thanks guys, the tuner capstan is small on the ibanez mezzo so I guess that's the problem, it started to tighten then unravelled. I only tried 2 strings and they both did the same thing, I cut the length in the usual way so I don't know where to go with this now.

Any ideas on how to fit flats on a 32 scale? Where can I get the right strings?

Thanks.

Thanks for that, This is the second set and it's done the same thing, I tried Olympia first then Adagio and both did the same thing, the string unravelled then snapped.

Not sure what to do now....

Tom.

Yes I am, I couldn't find any for a 32" scale, is that the problem do you think?

Thanks.

Can anyone explain to me why when I've tried to fit a new set of flatwounds to my 32" scale Ibanez, every string snaps at the tuner when I try to tighten the string? Normal roundwounds are no problem.

I'm at a loss.

Thanks.

Was mine, it's a cracking bass even as standard, if you like 32" scale, just buy it it's a great bass.

I have had this bass on loan for a week and can attest to it being fabulous to play, light as anything and I have a glass back.

You won't regret buying this.

This is my immaculate Squier Jaguar, bought to do something different with but never happened.

Has a great action, sounds good. It's 32" scale.

Reduced, now £145

Can you post it to teesside please? I've sent loads of combos with a courier.

Thanks for the input guys, there's a lot to think about here

so I'll look through all the suggestions and make a decision.

Looking for a good not too expensive electro acoustic bass.

Anyone recommend any particular one or ones to avoid please?

Thanks.

Hi yes it is, pm would be better if possible, thanks. I missed your question, sorry.

What's the weight please?

Here we have a pair of Peavey PR12's, in excellent condition with slipover covers. Only used for about 6 performances at fairly big venues.

They were used with a Yamaha powered mixer and they sounded great. Spec' here:

 Briefly they are rated at 400 watts / 800 peak

They have 1/4 jack or speakon connections (the leaflet attached doesn't show speakons in and out but mine has them.

They can be shipped at extra cost. Thanks for looking.

Bargin Mike, I wish I had a 4ohm speaker.....

Ahh no good to me then, I was born in 1946... Man I was 14 then when that beautiful bass was made. GLWTS.

My wife heard a great sounding chorus pedal and she would like something similar, I have a cheap UC 200 chorus and it's rubbish.

Do you guys have any recommendations please? Maybe even a good multi effects box.

Thanks chaps.

Ditto.

Here is my mint cmd 101, home practice only, works as it should.

Collection preferred but may post at your expense.

It's a 2020 model bought new.

Do you have the weight please?

Hiya, yes I can post it no problem, could you add a tenner to help with the cost?

Sorry the wife would hack me to death if I gave her gardening shoes away. 😄

Hi guys, this is my mint condition Mezzo, plays and looks great.

No issues at all, as new condition.

Hiya, the pedals are:

Boss SD-1 Overdrive.

KORG Pitchblack tuner

Behringer Compressor sustainer

Reverberry reverb pedal

USC 200 chorus

I would like to sell them all as 1 lot as I don't know what they are worth individually.

Thanks for looking, Tom.
