That blue modulus is broken - I’ll fix it for you, I’m an expert in graphite neck repairs...that’s goosed mate. I can see that from the photo...

Dear lord 🤯

I want this with every fibre of my body

https://ashdownmusic.com/products/ctm-30-ls-sfg-rig limited to 50?! How will I decorate my new house with them?! have asked if the 410/115 will be available. think it’s a dip of the toes before they do more (I bloody well hope it is!!!)

Seen this? Looks fit. Would match my incoming purchase (also surf green). want to get my hands on a little stubby too. In fact, shove another 210 under that and I’d be made up. the white cones look (even more) amazing with the contrast. looks like an expensive want...

£5, he’s sending them to me.

In all honesty, I found with the 2 bb1100s basses I had (active/passive) I did a bit of set and forget. Given a couple of hours rehearsal, ear fatigue just meant I was making more changes, boosting frequencies and then ended up making matters worse. so I’d shove it into passive mode, and leave it be. I always buy active basses thinking I’m going to get something different to my previous experiences. And I never do. Think the exception is a stingray, and even then I prefer the 2eq ones I’ve owned (a classic and a 94) Each to their own - I’m not saying active Vs passive or anything. But after years and years of p*ssing about, passive suits me better.

Er...(facetious post)

No doubt that it is. The kids wouldn’t enjoy it though, nor would the wife want me gone for 10 hours at the weekend which is our only time all together. Iris is pretty needy (not her fault) and the other 3 can’t manage themselves without risk of serious injury (Maggie particularly...)

Ok 🤓

Nice try though. Unless you’re after offloading a flea in blue sparkle...

That my friend is...erm...no. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia1.giphy.com%2Fmedia%2FpPhYIDiYzOGSA%2Fgiphy.gif&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fgiphy.com%2Fexplore%2Fno-chance&docid=DVAQq6_CM-WA3M&tbnid=yDxZHhuXazDghM%3A&vet=1&w=425&h=228&hl=en_GB&gsawvi=1&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim

I’m a few weeks into discussions over a fairly rare bass, the only stumbling block is the bass’ location. It’s an 8/9 hour round trip - those who know me will realise I don’t have 8/9 spare minutes most days... The current owner is a lovely man and has offered to meet half way, but still it’s not really feasible time wise. I’m looking into other options, but wondered if anyone from down that way does any travelling towards my area or could even assist with just getting the bass ready to ship. Thanks in advance 😉

I used him for a pickguard once, he was really pleasant and did a nice job. But it seems not everyone has had the same experience.

Yeah we need that thread

Yeah, the whole thing went balls up. Routinely things just stopped or changed without consultation. I got bored with it eventually. The second album being finished, then deleted, then started again. When I left they plodded on with a new guy for an ep and a single. All tracks we’d rejected for the second album. Their deal was cancelled/ended and while they’re still listed as a going concern...that’s not the case.

Hahaha. Can’t detect if sarcasm or not, so I’ll just tell you to Feck off to be safe.

Still have a few pairs. My latest are black suede

You don’t half talk shite.

Think that’s summarised above, it was to turn a kit bass into a finished item in the style of a 60’s thunderbird. money was paid to do this work. very little or none of this work was done. no money was returned. Explanation was offered to Op that there was a legitimate reason for no work being done. in the meantime, the person paid continued to complete work for others while having claimed temporary incapacity - preventing the op’s job being done. eventulally at additional cost the bass was completed by another luthier.

Oh the singer? Clark’s wallabies...indie boy must have.

They were gazelle’s mate. Standard indie boy sneakers

Haha. No there’s very little evidence thank god, probably some in the archives at itv or bbc somewhere. There was a great set of performances from itv on YouTube but the singer took them down as he didn’t like the particular songs anymore. Which really annoys me, and I’d never thought to download them as I didn’t think he would’ve done that. My Mrs at the time took some photos of that day, was nice. there’s a load of audio stuff on cds at my mums.
