    Might I ask what your process was for stripping and polishing the enclosure? Also what switching have you got going on for the circuit? Thanks Si

    Reduced to £1000 Si

    Only when I first started. Lowest I got down to during the last few years was 3, which was actually quite enjoyable. Currently at 7 and they all get used for various projects and/or recording. Si

    Very cool, Lakland make fantastic basses. Love the look of this one too. Si

    Ah wish this was a 4 string! GLWTS Si

    Thanks for that, really helpful. Noted on the bridge, I imagine that might effect me due to the low tuning. Cheers Si

    What is the general consensus on the (relatively) newer SR300E basses? With the Powerspan pickups. I'm looking for a cheap but solid bass for a metal project that might happen (ie looking to reduce outlay if it doesn't happen). I'll be using it for a drop tuning, like drop C#. Thanks Si

    Eugh, I really want a Eurobolt 4 in black!! Might have to settle for a Legend or maybe a Rebop if I can find a used one. Si

    Yeah I did a tour of the workshop in person back in 2015 when my MG Standard 5 was nearly ready (I got to see it on the rack waiting for hardware and pickups etc). Can confirm that everyone was as accommodating and great to chat to as they come across in the video! Really great company. Si

    Yeah I didn't go because of geography, 4 hour trip each way wasn't going to happen I'm afraid. Si

    @Andyjr1515had some I think?! For @Happy Jack’s recent neck build. Si

    SOLD Amazing preamp pedal, and in the newer/better fabricated enclosure. To the point where I picked this up from the first batch of new enclosures at Winter NAMM 2020, with the serial noted on the box as NAMM001. Gigged once, other than that it’s been stashed away as I’ve simply been using my Noble for everything. As such, aside from the velcro on the base, you’re getting an ‘as new’ pedal, boxed, manual, stickers etc etc. Info from the website: The Minnow is a high quality, low noise bass preamp DI pedal equipped with our Bullhead EQ section. This single channel Bullhead preamp features shelving EQ’s for the BASS and TREBLE controls and variable band pass EQ’s for the LO MID and HI MID. A selectable mid frequency for both LO MID and HI MID controls provide complete control over the midrange. We’ve also added HI SHIFT to the treble frequency to further tune the cut/boost capability of the treble control. In addition, the Minnow preamp includes a tuner out for silent tuning and a balanced XLR output for use as a DI, great for both live and studio use. Minnow Specifications: Pre-Amp: Low noise solid state Instrument Input: ¼’ Phone with rotary gain control Input Level Indicator: Signal level and Clip LEDs (green/red) EQ: 4 Band with switchable Mid Shelving Bass and Treble Low-Mid and Hi–Mid -Variable Gain, Band Pass EQ with selectable frequency/bandwidth options Hi-Shift treble frequency selection Master Volume: Rotary Control EQ On/Off Footswitch Mute Footswitch Tuner Out: ¼” Phone jack Amp Out: ¼” Phone jack Direct Out: 600 Ohm Balanced XLR, Pre/Post, and Ground Lift Power Supply (Not Included): Switch-Mode Power Supply, Output 12V (0.5A) Chassis: Steel Removable Rubber Feet: Adhesive backed Size: (H x W x D in.) 6.05″ x 4.85″ x 1.73″ (H x W x D mm) 153.8mm x 123.4mm x 44.1mm Weight: 1.81 lbs. No power supply (see spec above), I just ran it brilliantly from a Cioks DC5. Postage £7 or collection from Amersham/Wycombe areas. Cheers Si

    Back up for sale with some specific part-ex options. Let’s get me a Spector 😁 Si
  16. Sibob
    I’d say that’s equally down to the guitar tech, they’d have all the guitar changes written down too. Oh well, all of a 10 second divert. Si
  17. Sibob
    Has anyone used a BB234 in lower tunings? Probably strung BEAD or up from there to C# standard? How does the neck hold up? Nice and stable for a cheap bass? Si
  18. Sibob
    Just another mention about how amazing Lakland necks are! Si
  19. Sibob
    Saw this and immediately thought this bass would look mint with an ebony top! On the rest of the build, looking awesome so far, Mike is so quick haha! Whereabouts are you now @Cosmicrain? Last time I popped to see you was in Witham….long time ago! Si
  20. Sibob
    Decent enough body (as it's been for the last 40 years), but that neck is hideous! All the wrong spec! 🤢 (other than the 30", shortscale is fine) Si
  21. Sibob
    Fortunately Rob was smart enough to do the Elrick one himself, and have Daric get involved too: Si

    Interesting on the Elrick front, I think I remember speaking to Rob about something happening with the 'Expat' range, wonder if this was it. That said, the Czech made NJS's are still handmade, but I wonder if these Cort ones will eventually supersede them. Spec wise, they look to be largely the same as the Czech built NJS's, but different bridge and no US Bart pickups, I'll wager that the Hipshots are licensed too, minor step down from the US Hipshots on the Czech NJS's. Nothing wrong with any of that at all, but as someone mentioned above, with the current NJS's fetching around $3k, I'd expect the Cort ones to sit around £1200-£1500 maybe? I bet they're fantastic basses in any case, got a lot of time for Cort built stuff! Si

    I might be alone in this, but would you also consider adding full size ‘fender’/elephant ear/paddle tuners? I’ve always felt that Y tuners make hollow body basses look a bit…..not quite right, they’re not of the right time/vibe imo. Si
  25. Sibob
    Winding isn't all of it, it's core size/shape too. Talk to Newtone Strings here in the UK, they'll be able to wind you a custom set of strings that have an appropriate tension for the tuning you need. Whether your P-bass neck can take that tension is another question, should be fine, but therein often lies the benefit of multi-scale basses or other more specialist/custom neck specs. Si
