    Pictures to follow later today. For sale is my barely used Valeton Bass Dapper in the original box with PSU and mini manual. I've used it maybe 3 to 4 times at home only and it was originally purchased to use as a DI into the PA. Now that I'm winding down and getting rid of stuff, this is up for grabs. It has several components, most of which are clones of well known gear: - Tuner - Compressor/boost - Envelope filter - Drive - Octaver - Chorus - XLR DI output and an effects loop £60 including UK postage.

    Hi folks, more stuff from the spares draw. These are very lightweight tuners and the one that Low End Lobster has been fitting to his Sire basses as a drop in replacement. This specific item seems to be particularly hard to find anywhere at the moment. It is brand new and unused. £35 inc. P&P to UK mainland Here are a couple of pics and the link to Lobster's YouTube vid on the subject.

    The fret dots in the "wrong" place would not work for me, as @Stub Mandrel said, and would probably stop me from buying any kind of de-fret.

    They certainly didn't give me any issues. No silks on these strings so no issues there.

    My 32" scale AGH has "standard" length strings D'Addario EXL170BTs and they are absolutely fine.

    Oh no, to be fair it was a late decision today. Sorry

    Now sold elsewhere For sale is this Sandberg Electra model available only via Thomann. I purchased this last year and have been the only owner since then. As you can see this is a highly spec’d bass with many features only found on higher quality instruments. The bass is in excellent condition having never left the house. The neck is the usual amazing Sandberg item with a lovely satin finish so great to move around on. The bass weighs 8lbs 13oz, or exactly 4kgs in new money and balances really well. I should also point out that the neck pickup is hum-cancelling even though it looks like a single coil. Collection is preferred but I have materials to post if required. This will be at cost. Spec.: • Thomann 70th Anniversary Model • Body: Alder • Bolt-on neck (6-bolt): Maple • Fingerboard: Ebony • Neck profile: C • Scale: 34" (long scale) • Plastic nut • 22 Nickel silver frets • Pickups: 1x Sandberg-designed single coil (middle) and 1x Sandberg humbucker (bridge) • Volume, blend, treble and bass controls • Active/passive with passive tone • Black pickguard • Gunmetal hardware • Original strings: D'Addario Nickel .045 - .105 • Colour: Matt black with matching headstock Here are the pics. Please let me know if you would like to see anything in more detail.

    Whatever bass I have developed a totally irrational desire to own disappears from all ads and websites within seconds.

    @neepheid what was that dark blue P style bass I tried with the Lace p/up please? Should have taken a pic and forgot

    Did the Epiphanies ever write back?
  14. ead
    Seconded, these are excellent.

    I anticipate arriving c.10.00.

    Used to be mine and it is a great bass. Only sold as sadly shedding basses due to arthritis.

    Blast from the past. I have a few of their albums that I will dig out again.

    What separates your band from the other bands in the areas you work in? - I'd say it's that we are an originals band and never play covers. What do you have that others don't? - Tricky to answer without sounding a bit arsy, a couple of seriously good musicians (and then me as a counterpoint). I'd like to think our songs are lyrically interesting and cover a number of styles and from the bass perspective there are not many songs without an excursion beyond the 12th fret. I know, sorry brethren. If you were pitching your band to a prospect, what would be your bast selling point. - We are very reliable. You can also add in areas where you think your band struggles. - It needs a decent bass player.

    Not to forget their sister band The Trumps

    Ooof, that sounds like an extreme version of the SD Quarter Pounders. My only experience of those was in a Nate Mendel P bass and to my ears it was a horrible sounding thing like being slapped around the face by harsh mids and lacking any depth or warmth. Only useable with the vol turned down and the tone backed off. Obvs YMMV but not a pleasant experience for me personally.

    I'm going to check what I have knocking about in the garage at lunchtime.

    I have a set of Dukes in my Jet Jazz and lovely things they are too. Great value at £65 for the set too.
  23. ead
    Suddenly the Fodera P bass looks to be good value.
  24. ead
    Something a bit left field but the Tonerider The Duke J set are really good and have that deep warmth you describe at c.£65.

    It's a doddle. Loosed the screw that holds everything in place. Then the spacing screw (which just clamps the setting you choose), set the spacing and tighten everything up again. There's a short vid here which takes the saddle out but you can do everything with it in situ.
