HEADLESS BASS Bridge - Top down tuning system by RIVIERA Gear
funkle replied to RIVIERA Gear's topic in Bass Guitars
How easy would this system be to retrofit to a Fender Jazz? I have a tester instrument I’d love to try it out on. -
Sold Tim some strings, completely straightforward. You can deal with him very confidently! Pete

Ah, you’re too kind @eude . I’ll try to live up to that kindness. The Monzo I tried was excellent. I didn’t buy then as I couldn’t quite justify having 2 cabs both doing basically the same job for me and I didn’t want to sell my Silverstone. (Serial #1, I am proud of that…) The Goodwood is tempting me though. I wonder if I could use it to busk with if I rig up some kind of battery powered amp solution. I use the Everse EV8 for that presently, but it does compress hard when I push it. It also is a bit shoutier if I push it hard. Very portable though. But a plastic cab never sounds the same as properly braced wooden bass cabinet.

Hmm. That’s such an endorsement I’m considering trying a Goodwood out. I wouldn’t mind going even smaller for my gigs. I’ve never run out of steam with the Silverstone…hmm

Morning all Up for sale is a set of Squier '77 VMJ pickups. Working perfectly and sound great; I used the bass I got them in for a different build project, so no longer need these. They even come with spring loaded foam, a nice touch. Easy to use for a bitsa build. I'm selling for £27 plus postage. Pete -
And they're gone, sorry folks. -

I've been trying out strings lately on a 'kick'. Cut these and put them on my Precision for 10 mins. They are not for me. Maybe they're for you, though. They feel great but I'm basically a lover of steel roundwounds... as it turns out. I've included the standard blurb below. La Bella Deep Talkin’ Bass Gold White Nylon Tape The Gold White Nylon Tape Wound bass strings are the latest addition to our popular tape wound lineup! Constructed with Golden Alloy (80/20 brass) underlays, these strings are brighter in tone compared to the Copper White Nylon Tape Wounds, and also have dramatically increased attack and sustain. White Nylon Tape Wound on Golden Alloy Underlay Brighter in tone compared to Copper White Nylon Tape strings Standard Tension String Gauges: 750G (.050, .065, .085, .105), 760G (.060, .070, .094, .115) Made in the USA Packaged using MAP Technology (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to prevent tarnishing and ensure freshness All standard bass sets are LONG scale length. The 1st (G), 2nd (D), 3rd (A) strings are 38” from ball-end to silk/taper. The 4th (E) string is 36 ¾” from ball-end to silk/taper. Only the silk portion of the string should be cut or else the string will break. £23 posted in the UK. sold. Pete

Hey all I've been trying out strings lately on a 'kick'. Cut these and put them on my Jazz for 10 mins. They are not for me. Maybe they're for you, though. They feel great but I'm basically a lover of steel roundwounds... I've included the standard blurb below. La Bella White Nylon Tape Wound bass strings have an incredibly smooth outer wrap of clear nylon to create a warm and deep low end. Compared to our classic Black Nylon Tape Wound bass strings, the White Nylon Tapes are even smoother to the touch and slightly brighter in tone, making them ideal for all genres of music on all types of basses. White Nylon Tape wound strings Bright tone; long sustain Light Tension String Gauges: 750T (.050, .065, .085, .105), 760T (.060, .070, .094, .115) Made in the USA with American Wire Packaged using MAP Technology (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to prevent tarnishing and ensure freshness All standard bass sets are LONG scale length. The 1st (G), 2nd (D), 3rd (A) strings are 38” from ball-end to silk/taper. The 4th (E) string is 36 ¾” from ball-end to silk/taper. Only the silk portion of the string should wrap around the tuning post. Only the silk should be cut or else the string will unravel. £23 posted in the UK. Sold. Pete

Very nice indeed. Great review! I’m still eternally happy with my Silverstone. I’ll have to paint the baffle blue though to make it properly authentic now! 😝 Great work by @stevie. I cannot find a reason to buy another cab that hasn’t been made by him.

Des bought some pickup covers from me, a very smooth transaction all round. Deal with in good confidence! Pete
