  1. I've been watching this on Reverb (I've had three over the years - wonderful basses), but apart from the standard P neck, it's identical to the HMT Precision and there are a couple of those going (one in Germany and one in the USA) for more than £500 less.
  2. Sweet Caroline and Footloose (Please don't have a go at me. I'm in a function band - which I think says it all)
  3. https://www.touchstonetonewoods.co.uk/products/guitars-and-fretted-instruments/pick-ups-transducers-electronics/pre-amps/misi-acoustic-trio-guitar-preamp-for-lr-baggs-under-saddle-88321425638514/
  4. A quick follow up. Just had Simon at GUS remove the frets. This is going to be used as a backup for my double bass and it just wasn't sounding close enough (especially the piezo which picked up all the fret noises), so now the ebony neck has maple fret markers and sounds so much more lush.
  5. Bought secondhand this year as I thought I 'needed it' but am now clearing out all pedals except a TU3 tuner and going straight into the amp. The red on/off light isn't as bright as it could be but the pedal works fine.
  6. I bought this brand new earlier this year and it's been used for two rehearsals but I've realised that, unlike some players who 'want their sound', I don't really want any peddles or extra carrying to gigs, so am going down to a TU3 tuner and straight into the amp, and as long as something bass-like comes out of the speakers I'm not too bothered, so here is a £160.00, as new pedal in box, going for a lot less
  7. I bought the darker one on here - I understand it was a one-off made for one of the managers at the factory, and it's been used around the world at some fairly big gigs (before I got it). Soon after I saw the lime green one on Reverb (though then it was plain wood and only three pots. I had to buy it immediately, had it first dyed green and then decided to go the whole hog and get it professionally painted in metallic lime green. Had an extra control fitted and, for the first time in forever, appear to be GAS free
  8. Two early 90's Patrick Eggle Milan V's. Very few made and no others like these two.
  9. I always have an MXR microamp and Rafferty HPF Pre 2 bass preamp/adjustable high pass filter/phase switch between my 5 string db and Phil Jones briefcase. It's not for volume but just to fill out the sound. I wouldn't contemplate playing live without a preamp.
  10. Just bought a Digitech bass whammy from Ben. Arrived straight away, beautifully and safely packed. great guy
  11. Just bought a Realist db docking station from Marc. Arrived straight away. Great bloke to deal with
  12. Buxted, near Uckfield.
  13. Have a look at GUS Guitars. Simon Farmer makes a cedar laminate body and neck with a carbon fibre exo-skeleton. If it's good enough for Prince then it should do for the rest of us
  14. Richard bought a bbom 5 string bridge from me. So easy and great communication. Great guy
  15. I bought this a couple of years ago (secondhand) and have never used it. It's been sitting on my pedal board collecting dust, so it's time to free up some space. They are over £250 plus postage new. Handmade in Germany Input switcher 3 x input gain, 3 x footswitch controls 2 outputs The Palmer TRINITY provides easy switching between guitars without unplugging and the associated noise. Three instruments can be connected, which are selected by footswitch and fed to the output. Each input has an adjustable booster providing up to 12dB gain (4:1), to balance instrument levels without changing the amp settings. In addition, the Trinity features a dedicated tuner output.

    Great guy. Wonderful communication. I will happily buy from again
  17. In a good way or not? Thankfully I'm GAS'ed out at the moment, so no desire to do anything (yet).
  18. I'm not going to be any help at all because anything more than a string change and I take my basses to a luthier. It costs a fortune but I just can't trust myself to get it right without totally f'ing it up. If you manage it I might one day take the plunge and give it a go myself. I watch with interest to see how you get on
