    Astonished this is still here, these are such good amps!

    So, I treated my Veillette to a new set of La Bella black nylons today - the old set had been on there for three years so I figured they needed a rest, although I won't be throwing them away - but I noticed that a couple of the strings felt a bit rough under the finger, as though there were little nicks in them. Anyone else experience this?

    [quote name='Ashborygirl' timestamp='1360609058' post='1973341'] it must look like a P, have a P pickup & not be a vintage Fender. [/quote] So it doesn't have to be a Fender then?

    If you look through the classifieds here on BC you should get a good idea, but I'd imagine 450-500 is realistic. You may also want to return it to stock by refitting the original bridge.

    It's a variant of the Star Bass Singlecut (below) I believe, although Guy's is not hollow bodied. First Warwick I've liked in a long time.... There's a custom shop double neck too for Lee Sklar!

    I'd love this gig, but I'm probably just a little too far away for it to be practical

    I have played fretless exclusively for about five years. That said, I recently picked up a very nice fretted PJ5 which I'm playing a lot, but I'm still not sure it'll get a look in at a gig any time soon.
  10. franzbassist
    Will do!
  11. franzbassist
    Yes, I saw that too, horrible. Straight back to Paul for a full refurb methinks...
  12. franzbassist
    Shall I ask if they can put you a custom set together at the same time?
  13. franzbassist
    Ball end to silk.

    Would a string the same length as the ones I need do for you? If so, I could ask them to run off an extra E string and package up a third set (with the other three at regular length) for you?

    [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1360355125' post='1969358'] OK, let us know how they are. I might try them on my Takamine B10 which also needs order direct from La Bella. [/quote] What length do you need? My Veillette sets will be 38.75" long.
  16. franzbassist
    Yes, they are a custom length so need to be a special order.
  17. franzbassist
    I have a set for my Veillette incoming in a couple of weeks. Eric at La Bella says tension is the same as the black nylons, but the whites are "faster" and "brighter". I'll do an A/B recording and will report back

    I'm pretty sure the preamp section in the Drophead model is closer to the Little Bastard (2 x ECC83, 1 x ECC81) than the Spyder.
  19. franzbassist
    Would you be willing to split? I'd be very interested in the head if so.
  20. franzbassist
    BSX Allegro should also feature in this list.

    I sold a strap to Alain. A pleasure to deal with and I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.

    Hi Lozz I tried the Tonehammer 350 at Bassgear the other day and was blown away by how good it sounded. The gain and drive controls give you a lot of different options, and that's before you begin to play with the tone controls. Definitely worth checking out. Cheers Gareth

    [quote name='voxpop' timestamp='1359985415' post='1962894'] Hi Deepbass5, I have an Artist 6 fretted that is about 2 weeks away from delivery. You are welcome to come around and try it out when it arrives. I live in Sandhurst, Berkshire. [/quote] Shall I bring my Veillette Archtop at the same time?
  25. franzbassist
    I wear my basses quite high, so my fretting wrist is straight and there's no nasty break angle for my plucking hand. I find this puts the bass at just the right height for playing fingerstyle, picking or slapping. This translates to a strap just slightly longer than Sheehan's optimum.
