    Handmade in Devon, Heistercamp straps are super soft and beautifully put together. I've used a lot of straps over the years, and IMHO these are the best. Here are the specs: Leather Finish: Super Soft Leather Colour: Dark Brown Lining: Smooth Leather Lining Colour: Black Stitching Colour: Ochre Strap Length: 47" (42" - 55") Strap Width: 3" No padding Buttonholes: 8mm standard (perfect for Dunlop straplocks) Cable Tidy added This would cost you £83 to buy new, so get a decent saving on a handmade West Country classic.

    Thanks, and where might one buy such a thing?
  4. franzbassist
    Recommendations please!

    Such good amps.
  6. franzbassist
    Just done this, and yes, they do appear to be rails.
  7. franzbassist
    I shall investigate further!

    From Ibanez: The T1 pickup is a humbucker featuring two separate, individually mounted coils that provides tight bass response, punchy mid-range, and clear high-end. It offers flexible voicing suitable for various genres, and the height of each coil can be set individually for highly nuanced adjustments to the tone. Does that help?

    Okay £875 posted or £825(!) collected

    Sorry, not really up for trades.

    Thanks, but not a fan of stainless steel strings.
  12. franzbassist
    Thanks, but those are half rounds, rather than pressure wounds. I want to avoid the "grabbiness" of half rounds.
  13. franzbassist
    Any suggestions? Ideally long and extra long scale.

    Pedalboard qs

    My preferred option as well. Really rock solid stability.

    I've known a fair few, very good players, make a go of it. None have lasted more than about 18 months as it's hard graft on a personal and professional level, and even with good agencies/management it's hard to keep the volume of well-paid gigs flowing. It can also be quite seasonal work. EDIT: I played in a very good function band for many years and every one of us had a full-time job.

    If it's like other Demeter kit there will likely be a trim pot on the circuit board.

    Removed stock images for photos and videos of the actual bass.

    I think there was an issue with the second run of "Dudepit" Laklands, but no idea if this was it!
  20. franzbassist
    Oh yes, Steve "Dude" Barr. He was a character.

    And then there was "The Bottom Line" mailing list!

    I haven't had this long, so it is mint condition, and the only reason I am selling it is I am remortaging in a month's time and need to build a financial cushion given I'm facing a likely +4% rate rise! The bass is terrific: it sounds amazing (the T1 pickups are fab), is very light (7lbs), and balances beautifully. The basic specs are an American basswood body with a 5 piece roasted maple and walnut neck with graphite reinforcement rods. Scale is 32.5"(G) -35" (B) with a roasted birdseye maple fingerboard. The vari-mid 3-band EQ is powerful and has a bypass switch for passive tone control on the treble pot. As I said, mint condition but with the following modifications: the supplied finger ramp has been fitted (I used good quality 3M double sided tape) I have swapped out the straplocks for Dunlops and also added a second one on the treble side of the bridge (see picture) control knobs upgraded to metal (see picture) I have put some temporary dots over the luminlay side dots to make it easier to see where you are on the neck (see picture) Slight QC issue is the grey finish has missed in a couple of small, less obvious spots (neck bolt recess and a tiny patch under the bridge, which you can see in the third picture below). Mix of stock and personal pictures so will look to take more soon. Price is firm, shipped in the UK in the original packaging and gig bag. I'll knock £50 off if you collect it.

    So, what strings are we liking on our multiscale EHBs? I find the standard d'Addarios are okay, but I always prefer slightly heavier A and D strings. And related to the above, what brands fit the basses without having resort to super/extra long sets?
