  1. Got a lot of love for Ibanez..... Always been affordable, quality instruments & not afraid of pushing the envelope with design.... Had a Roadstar II back in the 80's, served me well....
    Recently acquired an ATK815 Premium & after a decent set up... I'm loving it! ....A very versatile bass....



    Good lord!..... What did I look like!?!.....

  2. I thought I posted in this before?.... ...Was there two threads?

    Anyway.... EXL 170 5's (45 - 130)...Been using them a long time. Every now & then I try something else but I always seem to come back to D'Addario...

    This thread has got me all interested in the EXP coated strings....

    Also, I like the fact that D'Addario come in a sealed pack.... Always as fresh as the day they were picked!

  3. I had a clear scratchplate made for my Sandberg Basic, several years ago...


    I used[b] aurora project [/b]who have since gone out of business, as far as I can tell...
    I sent them the original one as a template & they turned it around very quickly at a reasonable price... but the fit wasn't the best & I eventually cracked it by over tightening a screw. I went directly to[b] Sandberg[/b] after that & they did me a much better quality one for around £40-ish. I've since gone back to using the original black one! Didn't like the fact that you could see sweat beads under the plate....

    There seems to be several custom made options out in Googleland.....

    [i][url="http://www.originalscratchplates.com/#home"]http://www.originals...lates.com/#home[/url] .....This looks reasonable but I've had no actual experience of them...[/i]

    This is actually a Japanese Matsumoku build, the same bass turns up with a different headstock & numerous brand names, including Aria & Commodore.

    I remember Commadore being in the 'Bells Musical Instruments' catalogue many moons ago! Jeez... £42.35[i] (what an odd price!)[/i] ...




    Another bit of old skool Epi porn..... Newport? With the bat wing headstock



    These do look cool though.... I believe Epiphone did re-release a similar shape guitar version relatively recently but not the bass....

  5. Curiouser & curiouser.....

    Yes, there is an ET280 on Ebay at the moment for £195.... Don't think I'm up for it though...

    If it was a Crestwood, maybe so.... I have a friend who used to have a Crestwood guitar back in the day, it was a really good guitar....


    Never seen an epi scroll before...

  6. Has anyone owned or played an Epiphone ET280?
    Quite a cool retro 70's look.... I think the guy from LCD Soundsystem used to play one..
    Epiphone were very good at making their own original designs back in the day.
