  1. I have minimal experience with Dingwalls, but... definitely get the 6! Once you've gone 6, 5 just seems lacking. If you're on the fence, I'd say go 6 sir. If you don't like it, sell it to me, I've got £15 and a bag of Wotsits with your name on it.
  2. Hack it off with a rusty spoon? I know of no other way.
  3. Bone sir? Do you mean the nut? Or am I missing something!
  4. Great pedals these and £60 is a great price! I suppose the seller is great too. And this post, well, it's great!
  5. Very nice. The concert cutaway is definitely my favorite acoustic body style.
  6. Tempted by the Warwick Pinky... so little use for it, but I still want it!
  7. 'Boutique' pedals in general are a bit of a rip off. Most of the time you're paying 50% for the sound the pedal generates and 50% for some poorly painted design that makes it look like a 6 year old has been set loose with a bunch of permanent markers. If you buy them because you like the design then that's fair enough I suppose, but for me I'd rather have a fairly plain enclosure that produces a great sound for half the price. Anyway, you'll be stamping on it when its used so that art work is soon going to be scuffed to buggery!
  8. Now you're talking! They're the most salty and vinegary things in the world!
  9. All of this is just part of negotiations, I don't understand why people take offence to it! If the seller refuses to engage in any kind of negotiation or worse, gets annoyed when someone wants to get the ball rolling on talks of a sale, then more fool them! Be polite and if you have a number you won't go below them thats absolutely fine. Some people play the game differently, some come in super low to test that water but will up their offer during 'the dance', others might give a number of reasons as to why the can only offer 'X'. Either way, its part of buying and selling!
  10. Can you post one/both? Should only be a tenner uninsured via Parcelforce 48 if you book through Parcelmonkey! Let me know good sir.
  11. I have a black one of these. Excellent beasts!
  12. Having owned a 'proper' 13 string bass, and knowing the difficulties of having a set of strings made that actually work for standard bass tuning, and looking at the strings on that heap-o-cràp, I do wonder what kind of tuning that thing is in or if its just a random assortment of 17 strings that vaguely look like they've been strung thickest to thinnest.
  13. There are no photos! Not even in Hugues old post, for a £3000+ bass we at least need photos sir!
  14. £75?? Jesus. Officially the best bargain on Basschat next to the SWR 8X10! If I had ANY even remote need for this I'd buy it. I mean, honestly, you'd get double that on eBay, even with collection only! Someone best snap this up post-haste!
  15. 20 lashes now... you want 30??? Keep it up! 😂
  16. 7th time this has been posted here. 10 lashes to you @Mattbass97
  17. You'd be almost paid up by now 😂
  18. I imported Binky, my 10 string bass, from the states. The shipping was around $350 via FedEx fully insured. A few years later I bought a 9 string Conklin from Jean Baudin and it was actually cheaper for me to fly to San Francisco with an empty case as my luggage and bring it back to the UK than it was to suffer postage and import taxes! So £125 seems pretty darn reasonable at todays rates.
  19. Dang - If only I played fretless, and if only it had one extra string!
  20. An interesting thing... I believe Joe Perry from Aerosmith has one of these.
  21. Man I love Haken! Excellent vocal harmonies, complex and interesting compositions, perfectly balanced mix, all round good stuff! The first two albums are quite theatrical, Affinity is probably the best for casual listening, the latest album Virus is a good, if somewhat apt for current time, listen too Listening to them as we speak!
  22. @gareth - looks like a reflection to me! Could be wrong though!
  23. Mr Velvet sent me 3 kettle leads for the cost of postage, they arrived within a few days, can't say fairer than that! Thansk good sir!
  24. I believe they are actually called IEC leads... Specifically UK IEC leads. A Euro IEC lead would have a 2 prong end, so these wouldn't be Euro leads! Time to whip your sound man, I'd suggest 10 lashes.
