    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]

    [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?)

    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

    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

    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]

    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

    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]

    [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)

    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.

    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.

    Cheers Rumple and EBS_freak. I'm after the stacked version too but couldn't see them on the website but will keep searching.

    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.

    [quote name='BarnacleBob' timestamp='1347797246' post='1805029'] Thinking of sticking a set of flats on my old 79 Overwater with twin HBs, any recommendations? It has a bit of a dead spot, would this help or hinder that issue or make no difference? BB ps no experience of flats whatsoever so far [/quote] Can't help with the dead spot issue, but the Fender 9050s get good press here although I've not tried them myself yet. I've enjoyed using Picato flats on a fretted bass too, although at the moment I'm using TI JF345s on my fretted 5-string and the corresponding JF344 on my fretless.

    Feel The Force of the bass Master Luke. Do not be tempted by the Dark Side.

    I have no such worries, I just enjoy playing in the band.

    [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1347652870' post='1803735'] McVie and Entwhisle aren't fancy players but played Alembic..but yeah, roots on a fancy top is a bit naff. The basses are a bit 'look at me' so you should have a bit of a trick or two...IMO. [/quote] That's me buggered then I've been saving for ages and sold a couple of basses to be able to commission an ACG fretless to play. I'd be highly flattered if somebody described my playing as 'utilitarian'.

    Sadly I never saw PG do Supper's Ready, but did see the Seconds Out tour when Mr Collins did a passable impression. Great song though; I think Foxtrot is one of life's essential albums for proggies.

    I did a search for the topic and not much showed up so I thought I'd start a topic. I met Drew last week when I popped in (by appointment) to have a look at some basses. What a nice person and a good selection of basses to drool over (and carefully wipe down afterwards). I'd definitely recommend a visit to all of us NW based players and any tourists who don't mind the rain, the pies and the wippets. Excellent cup of tea and a chat too. The really worrying thing is I drive home passing within less than 1 mile of the Lounge every day . I feel much castigation from the sainted Mrs ead will be coming my way. ....and yes, Drew did 'make' me buy a bass. Pic to follow.

    I can only endorse what has been said above. Great basses, excellent value for what your money buys you.
