    I would recommend Ken Smith tapercores, they are most excellent strings.

    Oh wow, walnut and fretless, my favourite combination...

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='394517' date='Jan 29 2009, 01:16 PM']I thought Derek Smalls played a Sei bass? The only Alembic with a split pick up IIRC was the Persuader which is now discontinued.[/quote] BC Rich wasn't it?

    [quote name='Bassmanc' post='391860' date='Jan 26 2009, 04:10 PM']I have a beautiful Fylde King John Acoustic bass guitar. Sure it's huge, 34" scale and a deep dreadnaught jumbo body, but it's as lond as you need to accompany other acoustic instruments.[/quote] Ooh, let's see some pictures please!

Excellent communication throughout.[/quote] Bought an OBBM cable off me and was a total gent. Fast payment and great communication throughout.

    [quote name='mcgraham' post='393581' date='Jan 28 2009, 12:35 PM'] It'll be fine. I play and fret very lightly. My other bass had small vintage sized Fender frets and there was little to no fret wear after 4 years of playing around 4 hours a day most days. So good quality ones should be fine... I hope! Mark[/quote] Glad you reacted in the light hearted way I meant the comment to be taken! Seriously love the way you can get that almost fretless thing going with mando/banjo frets, but as you say, a light touch is vital, plus you won't have a low B pounding them into oblivion!!

    Sweet looking bass. I had a lot of dealings with Enrico when he was staring up and he's uber passionate about his stuff. Banjo frets eh? How much does a full refret cost every year I wonder...

    Sold a cable to Peter. He paid for it immediately and was a pleasure to deal with.

    Surplus to requirements as I've gone back to a hard case. [list] [*]Leather trim throughout. [*]Heavy duty denier shell with full-length zip so the bag can be opened flat. [*]1" foam padding throughout with internal headtsock and bridge protectors. [*]Large buckle saddle bag type pouch on the front. [*]Strap hook so you can hang it up! [*]Dual back-pack straps. [/list] Really excellent bag giving superb protection. This is pretty much mint condition, and as over £100 new in the UK I'm asking [b]£75 posted[/b], or buyer can collect from NE Hampshire or Central London.

    [quote name='RichBowman' post='389384' date='Jan 23 2009, 10:32 AM']I preferred the GB as I found the EA a little to 'dry' for my tastes.[/quote] How funny, I went to an iAmp500 for that very reason, my electric and acoustic basses sound equally good through it! Good news on the sale.

    [quote name='Higgie' post='389176' date='Jan 23 2009, 12:06 AM']The only thing that puts me off is that there has been quite a few of these being sold, when they are relatively new amps. What's wrong with them?[/quote] I took one in on a trade and moved it on within a week. The [i]only[/i] reason I did so was it didn't sound good with my acoustic bass, and I needed something more versatile; my Wal sounded great through it. Great amp, great price.

    Pretty much the definitive book on Fender basses. Check it out [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/reader/0634026402/ref=sib_dp_pt/278-7471382-2444464#reader-link"]here[/url]. £10 posted.

    As I'm now playing two acoustic instruments on a regular basis I've decided to switch to a two channel pre and let this go. I bought this second hand late last year. It's in fabulous condition and comes in the original box. Works just as well with electric basses as it does with acoustics. * Five-band EQ precisely shapes and sculpts bass tone * Feedback-fighting phase switch * Soft-knee, pump-free, photo-optic bass compressor * Depth knob (low-cut filter) for big bottom without boom * Exclusive Voltage Doubler Circuit - stands up to high output active basses * Easy access battery compartment * XLR DI (with ground/lift and pre/post switches) for pro-sound & recording * Tuner/Send output * Rugged injection-moulded case * 3-way power from 9V battery, 48V phantom or AC adapter User manual may be found [url="http://www.fishman.com/uploads/products/documents/71.pdf"]here[/url]. I'd like [b]£80 posted[/b].

    If so, let me know please!

    Bought a cable off me. I think the eBay feedback-speak would be "Great communication and prompt payment". Cheers!
