    There's no thinly veiled accusations, he's either best case bought a bass and is now selling here without taking photo's so the bass could be altered or damaged since purchase, or worst case its a fake. Either way I feel potential buyers deserve to know as you get little buyer protection in these forums.

    As I said , maybe you should have taken it up with Rich first before you posted any ' warning ' , maybe then you would have found out the truth of the matter , best case / worse case or whatever . You could have contacted him or checked his Feedback before jumping in feet first . People on here are grown ups who can deal with issues themselves or through the moderators if they wish , which incidentally is another route you could have taken , but this isn't ebay and people on here aren't prone to ripping people off .

  2. A bit late this … holidays dontcha know … Traded a P Bass for Josh's ( now mine :) ) Flea Jazz …. As Joshs go I'd say he's definitely one of the best :thank_you: great communication , very friendly chap , bass well packed and in great condition , a pleasure to deal with indeed .

    Yeah, I paid £70 plus p&p although this was over 6 months ago so the price may have changed. If you email Marc via the site I'm sure he'll give you and up to date price for one

    Woo nice ! I don't suppose you could give me the measurements could you ?

    Aha! I'm normally pretty good at reading threads before I reply to them, but I'd missed your comment on finding them substantially different. I wasn't trying to contradict you, and I don't think you took it the wrong way anyway, but I've seen wars start over on TalkBass for less!

    I checked and the Rotosounds I tried were 45-105s, and I can definitely say that both the FS and FL sets feel much easier to play than they did. To be fair, though, my playing style is pretty agricultural and I'm not particularly discerning!



    Let us know how you get on. It's not a particularly cheap experiment at the best part of 40 quid a pop, so I hope you like them!

    Yep , no worries , I'll do that :) It'll be after Christmas now as we're in the process of moving house :huh: :)

    I've got 760FL gauge La Bellas on my precision (top loading bridge) and they're great tension. I'd normally go for 105-45 in round wounds, and the 760FLs are 104-43 i think.

    They don't feel as stiff or heavy as i'd been led to believe (i.e. you can still string bend on them pretty easily) so you'd probably be ok with a slightly heavier gauge.

    Thanks bb , am I right in assuming that the L in 760FL stands for Long ( scale ) ?

    I've just been corrected by a pal - you can! Apologies for the duff info :-)

    :) Great thanks WoT :) Though I still can't decide .. :rolleyes: :)

  9. I'm going to try Labella flats for the first time and just wondering which set are top load and which set are through-body ? I've got Chromes on one of my Basses so I'll be looking for the same or closest to their gauge ( 50-105 ) though not the Jamerson set , I've tried the Steve Harris set and they're just to much for my dainty little pinkies :) They're for a Precision but I've not decided whether to go TL or TB …
