Kevin helped me out with a couple of Schaller strap buttons, posted them 1st class to me and wouldn’t even accept anything £! Top guy and top basschatter, thanks again Kevin 👍

Just a short note, needed a couple of strap buttons for my newly acquired status and Kevin Lindsay came up trumps for me, posted 1st class and refused to take anything £!! What a gent and a credit to the community. i don’t know how to share the decent deed but thanks again Kevin

Hi, it’s to take double ball end strings which are readily available, you can buy an adapter quite cheaply that will ‘clamp’ the string end at the head, hope that helps, anymore questions fire away. Roger -
Ahhhhhhh! Done. Many thanks

New, 4 string, couple of tiny marks, 38mm nut, having just bought 2 headless basses it’s a project I’m never going to get round to, lots more pics available, can’t seem to upload anymore! Painful🤦

Ahhhhh, ‘S’ lock being the later revision!

Hi all, is this a Schaller? I just assumed it was/is🤷♂️
-
You’re welcome, I’d definitely recommend one, totally unique 👍
-
Yes it is slim, all the way (38mm at the nut) but quite deep (front to back)👍

It really is something, like nothing else. it’s just something I’ve wanted for years (growing up in the 80’s n’all) I has the spirit and it was ok🤷♂️ I’d never even played one until I picked this one up 😄 it didn’t disappoint. (surprisingly heavy)!
-
Ahhhh nice one, many thanks 👍
-
I took the front plate off and posted pics over on talkbass, as you can imagine there’s some excellent info from those guys, the pick ups, the moulding inside, leg rest etc etc points to it being very early, someone at the factory has scribed Nov 81 (you can just about make it out) so……all points to being maybe in the first couple of hundred 👍

Hi, I too have a streamline, I’ve always wanted a steinberger and this one came up, an L2 (all the purists seem to prefer the L2) I posted for info over on talkbass and got some great info. The string spacing is narrower and 38mm at the nut (quite different from the status) the sustain is amazing too, it’s quite heavy, which I was really surprised at, i like it so much my status is up for sale/trade the weight and the density of the bass really gives it a unique tone

The strap system works incredibly well on it
-
Growing up in the 80’s it’s been on my ‘want’ list for a long time😄

Ibanez Roadster 80’s 32” Medium scale. These are quite rare now and it took me a while to find, it was a hideous turquoise blue when I got it, I stripped it back to reveal a lovely grain 2 piece body, I treated the body with true oil which really brings out the grain (there’s a small ding on the 2nd fret) I’ve replaced the tuners with hipshot ultralights in gold to match the brass bridge & gold knobs (the originals were rubbish and this improves the look & balance) it’s supremely comfortable light to play with a pretty low action, it comes with its original hard case (there is still a little bit of evidence of the blue on the back) the only thing I never got round to replacing was a headstock logo. I’m in Swindon, Wiltshire NOW £450
