Just acquired some strings from Roy. Everything as promised, quick postage and even a nice Christmas card - thanks very much. Deal in confidence dellow BCers.

East BTB?

Always been curious about these as I lusted after Rics, saving up to buy a 4003 in Jetglo (my dream bass) and then was massively disappointed. Didn't want to take the iron work off as that's part of the look and the less said about the bridge the better (YMMV of course). These basses seem to be the answer to most of my Ric issues. Karl can I come round and stroke it gently (that's the bass btw, not your genitalia).

Signed (I think) firewall at work a bit over excited. Will check back later at home.

I bet that last option is pretty awesome.

David just acquired an ACG bass from me. Very easy to deal with and a great bloke to boot. Many thanks, deal with confidence BCers.

You could use an escrow service, but as always caveat emptor.

[quote name='uke' timestamp='1418769264' post='2633280'] " Ya sexy wee bastard " extra points if you can name the film! [/quote] Isn't that the quote from the "something something Axe Murderer" film? Sorry can't remember the title now.

Lovely bass there Mr Eude. Is it any good for metal?

Booked in with Mrs ead so, fellow BCers, [size=3]remember tour rules apply at all times.[/size]

This isn't luminescent, but maybe it could be done as part of the same process? [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0157u-uber-art-recurve-4/"]http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg_admin/wordpress/portfolio/0157u-uber-art-recurve-4/[/url]

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1418246237' post='2628498'] I think BRX and myself agree that you are not shallow for daring to have 'a hint of aesthetics'. [/quote] [size=4] excellent, thanks.[/size]

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1418118147' post='2626912'] I don't think that wanting to have an instrument that you find aesthetically pleasing makes you shallow. On the contrary it makes you a more complete human being. It's those who don't get it or don't care about looks who have something wrong with them. [/quote] [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1418143025' post='2627311'] Actually, a lack of aesthetics is shallow. [/quote] I'm confused now; am I shallow or not? I think I should be told [size=4] [/size]

Spector do customer service like it should be done. Respect.

In the context of playing in a band environment I genuinely can't tell the difference. My choices are based on personal preference and a hint of aesthetics (because I'm really shallow).

Can't help with the pot, but I'll see what I've got in the box incase there is anything you like - may not be much as my preference is for black. Theses East knobs are very nice: http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/misc/knobs.html If you like these I have found one chrome stack you can have FOC.

The interweb suggests that they are 6mm diameter top and 8mm diameter bottom for the stacks. What sort of thing are you after colour/quantity wise as I might have some stuff lying around.

Is it much worse than the cult of Rickenbacker; I can't say I've really noticed. To be prefectly honest I've never even picked up an MM so have absolutely nothing controversial to add - probably a hate crime in itself .
