La Bella and Overwater flats gone.

Strings Direct sell single strings.

I was born in 66, but haven't worn as well as that bass 😳

How much relief is there in the neck now? You say it's an area in the middle of the neck that's the issue, suggests means there may be too much tension which is causing a concave bow, forcing the plastic up and out of their slots. Subsequent relief of the tension may mean they still sit proud. No need to buy a new neck IMO. Have a tech shoot the fingerboard, or if you are confident in your skills buy the correct radius sanding block and do it yourself. Hope you get it sorted!

How long are they please?

Did this sell?

IMHO they look awful.

PM coming your way Sorry, and thank you.

I’m having a big string clearout. None of these sets have had much use, in fact some have been put on and taken straight off!

Hello Strawbs, also from Alton.

Classic! I don't think any of them know what they're doing 😧

I think I've just discovered the bass my daughter is going to have for her studio

Great amps, albeit with limited EQ. TTE500 is analog power section, but the 800 is digital.

This, x 1000
