  1. I have a set of Schaller straplocks now surplus to requirements. Please note that the buttons came from a bass of mine and are chrome because that matched the other hardware. The strap fittings are black (to match all those black traps out there). So you get the best of both worlds, matching bass hardware and stealthy looking strap when the bass is attached. £10 posted UK. Please let me know if you would like to see a picture. Thanks for looking. SOLD, thanks very much all.
  2. I've tried a few searches on here regarding this, but so far I've either not found the magic search term or, less likely, there are no threads on the topic so...Has anybody on here tried the two variations back to back, and if so do you notice a real difference?
  3. Just sold a Vintage V1004 Fretless to Chris. Very easy guy to deal with, plenty of PMs and phonecalls etc. Highly recommended to all BCers.
  4. Thanks fellas, it is indeed a rosewood board. Bass now sold
  5. [quote name='Machines' timestamp='1349381787' post='1825660'] P.S. what a great review. [/quote] Yeah, it was OK in parts
  6. Not bidding seriously just watching for curiosity really. It went for £190 in the end.
  7. tbh I didn't realise they were still in production.
  8. I've been watching one on evilbay and wondered if these are as good as the reputation of the 80's production that seem to have good press on here and elsewhere?
  9. For sale is this rather lovely VIntage V1004SPFL bass manufactured in 2009. The bass in very good condition and features through-neck construction with a spalted maple top and mahogany wings. It has a J/MM pickup combination and active 2-band electronics. All hardware is good quality Wilkinson parts in gold and the bass is strung with D'Addario flat wound strings. Here are a couple of pics. Plenty more are available on request. Our very own Machines reviewed one of it's fretted cousins on the forum here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/9244-vintage-v1004dx/"]http://basschat.co.u...intage-v1004dx/[/url] I'm looking for £225 incl. padded gig bag. Collection is preferred so you can see the bass in detail before buying, however I have a sturdy guitar box so can post by courier at additional cost. Thanks for looking and please PM me if you are interested. [attachment=119867:V1004SPFL 01.jpg] [attachment=119868:V1004SPFL 02.jpg]
  10. [quote name='Chris Horton' timestamp='1348578227' post='1815422'] Just found this - [url="http://cpc.farnell.com/_/22h-2d-b/knob-black-22mm/dp/SW02904?Ntt=sw02904"]http://cpc.farnell.c...904?Ntt=sw02904[/url] You can get them in 3 different sizes - 16mm, 22mm or 28mm food for thought............ [/quote] These look like they are for a 1/4" shaft, I'm after 6mm sadly. Good looking knobs though (can I say that on a Sunday?)
  11. I saw the BBG knobs and for smaller orders they are definitely cheaper than the Sadowsky items, but once you get to a certain number the Sadowsky ones are definitely cheaper. I'll have a look at the Farnell items, thanks Chris. Atm it's just you and me though
  12. Can any of you cognoscenti confirm whether a 'normal' 3-knob control plate has the same dimensions and screw hole locations as the 4-knob control plate? Supplementary question; does the 4-knob control plate have a 5th hole for the jack socket or are they routinely drilled through the body? Cheers
  13. I have one of the V1004 fretless beasties with a spalted maple top that I think represents excellent value, particularly second hand. Nice to play and pretty well put together too imho. [attachment=119550:Vintage V1004SPFL 01.jpg] [attachment=119552:Vintage V1004SPFL 04.jpg]
  14. For those who were mentioning fretless versions of the range, I just saw this on evilbay... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Overwater-Active-Electric-fretless-Bass-Guitar-taken-in-exchange-NEW-condition-/400323104008?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item5d351dcd08
  15. There's the black hardware too on the SR600. If you don't mind ex demo there's an SR600 from Thomann for just under £400 here... [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_sr600_ntf_b_stock_2.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_sr600_ntf_b_stock_2.htm[/url]
  16. [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1348488438' post='1814158'] Which songs from the recent album did they do? [/quote] 1 then 2 to open the show and 5 to close (pre encore)
  17. It's OK I guess, reminds me a bit too much of I Want to Break Free and other Queen stuff in places, and thus I found it a bit derivative.
  18. Any love for Swedish prog on here? Good gig last night in a very nice venue that I had not visited previously. Timothy Taylor's Landlord on too so happy all round.

  20. [quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1348033978' post='1808258'] Liverpool, for me. [/quote] I shall try to remember to wear my BC polo or something bass related if you fancy meeting up for general introductions etc.
  21. Cheers Rumple and EBS_freak. I'm after the stacked version too but couldn't see them on the website but will keep searching.
  22. These look quite attractive and I'm contemplating a purchase. http://www.sadowsky.com/store/electronic-parts.html The downside is the P&P charge of $34.77, so I wondered if anybody was interested in adding to the order and reducing the unit cost? Please let me know if you're interested and I'll act as agent on a no fee basis! I would propose dividing the postage cost by the number of parts ordered, stacked knobs would be counted as two units. I have found very similar looking items on Best Bass Gear, but whilst their postage is free the parts cost more. The BBG items are cheaper if you order <10, breakeven is around 10-12 knobs depending on the mix after which the Sadowsky items are cheaper. I've not managed to locate anything similar in the UK, but if anybody knows where I can acquire them please would you let me know.
