  1. I'm looking to move on my Gear 4 Music 3/4 double bass. It's a great bass to learn on and has been fitted with Innovation Silver Slaps. I will also include some old Thomastik strings and a pickup. £350 collected from Beccles, Suffolk.
  2. Headway EDM-1 preamp as new in the box. I bought this to use with double bass but have been using my Brandoni acoustic bass recently so it's unused. £100.
  3. That's a shame. I'm working on my dot reading and having a bit of 1990's reminisce so The Riverboat Song and Place Your Hands in dot form would have been awesome. Thanks for the tab link.
  4. Can someone please help me access the PDF. I can't get it. :-(
  5. These look ace, off to Andertons at the weekend to try one as GAS levels are high!
  6. Do you know which Presto set would be similar in feel to Silver Slaps?
  7. Up for sale is my Loar LH 550 archtop in natural finish. This is an early Korean made Loar. In excellent condition and comes with an Armourdillo foam case. Fitted with Newtone Archtop strings and sounds great. Collection preferred but can post. £450.
  8. Cool, thanks. Is it usual to keep the input gain on preamps/amps pretty low with these? I've tried it into my Tecamp Puma combo (with a Orchid DI box for impedence matching inbetween) and it sounds better with the input level turned right down.
  9. 😜 Glad it looks ok, now to find a preamp that gets the best from it......
  10. I don't think it's crushing as it moves with a little pressure. Thanks for the reassurance, now to get back to trying to play it! Cheers.
  11. I'm a beginner double bass player whose recently added a Bass Max. I'm not entirely sure if it's fitted correctly. It's quite tight in the bridge, and the bridge edge is not perfectly flat. Could anyone with more knowledge than me advise if this looks ok please.
  12. Thanks Jean, did this last night and now it's perfect. Many thanks for the tips.
  13. Thanks. I'll give that a try when I get home. I think so too. Reminds me of the medium scale P bass I sold you. I still miss that.
  14. Well I did it last night and it wasn't too tricky at all. The white one is slightly too big down by the control panel but hopefully that can be sanded down if I decide to stick with the switch. I think they look great. Thanks for the tips.
  15. Ah, that makes sense. I'll try that and see how it goes. Thanks guys.
  16. I'd have to desolder the pickup though right?
  17. I have two Fender Japan Mustang basses and I'm thinking of swapping the pickguards as I think I'd prefer sunburst/tort and cream/white. The sunburst is a '96 and the cream is a '17. Does anyone know if the pickguards are the same? I'm not comfortable enough to try this myself so would have to get a tech to do it, but don't want to bother if anyone here knows for sure it won't fit. Cheers.
  18. Did you get the one on Ebay or the one on Gumtree? I was set for the one on Gumtree but the guy sold it the day before my mate could collect it. :-( I'm certain they only did white and red. I had a red one but didn't like the colour so moved it on. I'm still looking for a white.... I remember the red being heavy!
