    It could be any number of things, but have you checked the neck relief? Standard flats probably have more tension than the tapes, so you may need a touch more relief.

    The website says they are strung with D'Addario Helicore strings, but on a 5 with a high C they add a Pirastro Jazzer or a Helicore Hybrid on a low B.

    I sold a Hiscox case to Matt. The transaction was as smooth as a set of flatwounds, and I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again Cheers Matt!

    Hi John How about fitting the light version of the Schallers instead? They're about 40% less than the regular versions and you get to keep the Wal aesthetic. Cheers Gareth

    [quote name='itzing' timestamp='1471763660' post='3115565'] the keys are 3 bass (for B E A) & 2 treble for (D G) ? [/quote] Correct.

    I love these bags - simple, elegant, don't take up much space - but as I've moved to basses with angled headstocks I'd rather keep them in something more suited to their design. Both bags are used but in good condition, I'd say 8 or 9 out of 10. Cheapest I've seen is £99 new, so £60 each gets it, plus postage at cost. Thanks Gareth

    And here it is. I had a slight panic yesterday when it came in a bit heavier than I'd expected, but it's just the most gorgeous thing. Really really pleased with it. These are Alan's pictures from the website.

    Brand new [url="http://www.hiscoxcases.com/electric-guitar-cases.htm#std-ebs"]Hiscox STD-EBS[/url] for sale. Still has tags on it. My new ACG came in it, but as I don't use hard cases it's straight up for sale. £80 posted, or £70 collected from Hampshire. Not mine, but looks like this: Thanks Gareth

    Brilliant, thanks very much. This is why BC is [i]the [/i]place!

    Hello all If you have one, would you please measure from the bottom of the inside to the top of the headlock pad? I ask as my new bass is only 33" scale length so I want to make sure it'll fit before I buy. Cheers Gareth

    I took delivery of this wonderful ACG Krell in August last year, having ordered it in December 2015. It is a wonderful thing, really wonderful, but I've got the opportunity to buy a bass I have lusted after for some time, so up it goes for sale. The bass has never been gigged, never even rehearsed in fact, so is in absolutely mint condition, and comes with a hard case. It plays beautifully and balances very well. At 33" scale it's a breeze to play, with no dead spots and a nice focused low B. It sounds HUGE, and with both the ACG/East pre and the passive tone control there is an enormous amount of tonal variation on hand. Spec is as follows: Scale: 33" - the low B is nice and tight, no flabbiness Body core: Alder Top/veneer: Myrtle with Black 1mm veneer Neck woods: 5 piece Maple/Mahogany, bolt on Fingerboard: Macassar Ebony Radius: flat Head plate to match body top, with black veneer Back plate to match body, with black veneer Bridge: ACG/Hipshot 18mm spacing black Pre-amp ACG DFM 4K AP Stack 1: Volume/Blend Stack 2: Neck pickup low-pass filter, plus push/pull switch to activate the low mid boost at either 150 or 250Hz (adjustable up to + 12dB). Lower ring is filter frequency, upper ring is overshoot peak level. Stack 3: Bridge pickup low-pass filter, plus push/pull switch to activate either upper mid boost at 500Hz or an 8Khz "attack" boost (adjustable up to + 12dB). Lower ring is filter frequency, upper ring is overshoot peak level. Knob 4: Passive tone control, with a push/pull active/passive switch. The tone control works in both active and passive modes. Pickups: FB series in 32 x 110 casings Gotoh GB350 Resolite tuners Dunlop dual design Straplocks (replacing the original flush-mount versions shown in the pictures below) Standard finish of oil rubbed satin lacquer 9lb 4 oz (4.19kg) The bass cost me £2k. It's yours for £1350, couriered anywhere in the UK on a 24 hour service. Courier overseas at extra cost. I'd trade for a Berg 1x12 or a Darkglass 900 amp, with cash balance my way. Thanks for looking.

    Not all flats are the same. Some, like D'Addario, are very tight, GHS Precision Flats, Pryamid and Laklands are lower tension, Thomastiks are even lower. And that's before you even start with nylon flats!

    Wowsah!
