    Which GG is said bass at? Could one of the BC massive could go and check it out for you?

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1401894855' post='2467993'] It varies from tree to tree... weighing the bass itself is the only answer. [/quote] Agreed. I had two basses of the same model recently: one was fretted and weighed 8.5 lbs, while the other was fretless and weighed 9.5lbs. [quote name='Platypus' timestamp='1401895116' post='2467998'] I expect its sitting in a store room in the packaging it arrived in and they don't want to get it out to weigh it. [/quote] +1

    Great cab - punchy, full and loud. I'd buy it, if I had the readies, to go with the one I already own.

    Have you tried [url="http://www.bassgear.co.uk"]www.bassgear.co.uk[/url]? They sell the basses, so I imagine they could source the strings without much trouble.

    [quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1401193211' post='2460956'] I've decide I want a 5 string proper (i.e. unlined) fretless with graphite neck - what do you think my chances are ? [/quote] Status Graphite is the obvious choice there, either a whole bass or one one of their necks to retro-fit

    [quote name='hubrad' timestamp='1401100068' post='2459958'] Likewise.. I almost exclusively play fretless, so I take a fretless to gigs. Never been a problem - fretless isn't ALL slidy slidy! [/quote] Pus the one

    That seems like a hell of a lot of rig for the money!

    Old Horse Murphy is looking for one of these.

    I love Sandberg stuff, but the leather and now denim coated basses are truly awful

    I believe "Chromes" is just the name for D'Addadrio flats, but be aware they are quite high tension (may not be good for the bridge on an ABG) and have a brighter tone than many flats out there. I would recommend tapewound strings for a more acoustic vibe. La Bella black and white nylons in particular are great strings, but there are plenty of other brands out there too!

    I have a [i]brand new[/i] Richter strap for sale: the Supreme II. Even though the leather is thick, it's super soft and caresses your shoulder wonderfully. The strap is 9cm (3.5") wide, and adjustable between 100-147cm in length. It's particularly suited for us with heavy basses. It's black, made of buffalo leather outer, with a sanded brown buffalo leather interior. It grips the shoulder perfectly. These are £80 new, and I am firm on [b]£[s]65[/s] £60 posted[/b] Thanks Gareth

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1399675698' post='2446694'] Status seem to have a problem with E's and B's, both were dead in a pack of flat wounds I bought recently. [/quote] Never had a problem with their roundwounds, but the last set of flats I bought from Status had a dead E.

    They are my local shop, but I've only been in a couple of times in the 18 years I've lived in the area... Once was to help a mate buy a Taylor acoustic, and the other was to try out a Jack Casady: they looked after me just fine both times. I sent them an email a few weeks ago asking about a bass and never received a reply...

    I sold a Bassbone to Tom. As previously, great comms and a very smooth transaction. I would happily deal with him again
  17. franzbassist
    Sold

    Do these strings have silks? Is the low B tapered?

    Mmm, tasty

    A "thanks, Higgie, for the kind words" type bump

    I sold a gig bag to Paul. A total gent and the deal went through as smooth as you like. Thoroughly recommended.
  24. franzbassist
    As above, does anyone know of a flatwound string that has no taper (or at least very little taper, no more than an inch) and no silks at the ball end?
