    Sounds nasty. Good luck getting it sorted dude. Makes you realise why all the amp techs love the point to point valve stuff... at least you stand a chance of figuring out what is going on!

    [quote name='apa' post='1125469' date='Feb 12 2011, 09:34 PM']OK so this might seem a little over the top but since I will have some left over I may as well use it Is Real Gold Leaf a good way of shielding the cavities of the electrics? I was going to use tin foil glued to the walls rather than splash out on a bottle of shielding paint that costs about the same as a pack of gold leaf!! I cant see why not. A[/quote] I have never tried it, but I would hazard a guess that it would not be thick enough to provide a good shield. Shielding paint takes a good few layers to build up a decent shield (and it's still not as good as copper) and whilst copper adhesive makes for good shielding, remember that copper is a superb conductor compared to gold lead and tin foil.

    [quote name='sshorepunk' post='1123438' date='Feb 11 2011, 12:15 AM']Ooooh, nice, I take it that one didnt make it to ebay! Tony[/quote] It did! I got it off eBay - he used the money from the sale of that one to fund the Spitfire above. I seem to recall that there are single coils in the Spitfire as he liked them in the red Rumour. I changed the single coils in the red Rumour back to humbuckers as that is what I prefer.

    [quote name='sshorepunk' post='1123429' date='Feb 11 2011, 12:01 AM']Did you buy the sunburst Rumour? Tony[/quote] No, this one - Top bloke - no problems buying off him.

    Looks like he is having a clearout.

But not the one at the top of this thread!

    [quote name='tauzero' post='1114781' date='Feb 4 2011, 12:41 AM']Yes. And are there strap locks, or any other form of bondage equipment?[/quote] You like ball gag?

    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1113285' date='Feb 3 2011, 12:00 AM'] Does that mayonnaise have a weak cheese string? I have heard some of them do and can only be fixed by fitting a warped sue Ryder neck with a broken truss rod to even it all out. There's only one way the value of these basses will go and it will be a while before the rest ketchup.[/quote] No - the bolt on necks suffer from this, not the faux bolt-on through necks like mine.
  12. EBS_freak
    Hello, here is Mayonnaise. Sorry, don't know how to use YouTube so picture all squishy. You get idea though. Notice headstock is "light" equipped but not Hipshot ultralites - it helps prevent the neck dive.

    [quote name='leschirons' post='1112289' date='Feb 2 2011, 01:02 PM']Wont trade?? I hav latest iphone in Slovinia[/quote] You're a bit screwed if you want a # or a *

    The theory is that a metal nut makes an open string sound more like a fretted note. Whether you believe that or not, is up to what you wish to believe or not. Same kinda thinking behind the zero fret. If you want to be properly authentic, you should have a nickel nut to match your frets (good luck finding one! hen's teeth, especially in the UK) - I know Yamaha have installed one in their latest top of the range BB bass.

    [quote name='silddx' post='1112110' date='Feb 2 2011, 10:38 AM']yes good, as you say in your country entwistel was the mustard! in this case i am very temptated by the mayonnaise. i would like to see the picture and video you has plese.[/quote] No problem, I shall post some up later. I am currently at work (well, I say work, I mean dole queue - last payment paid for my new iPhone ) and so I shall have to wait until I get home and my neighbour turns on his broadband router so I can use it to upload said Mayonnaise media. And that's if I can persuade my sister to bring round her netbook. Ideally I would have liked to keep the Mayonnaise also but when opportunities like this come up, it's too much to sit back and let it pass!

    [quote name='silddx' post='1112024' date='Feb 2 2011, 09:02 AM']actually, i did read a reeiw of the mayonnaise and it says it is a good bass is it the one played by jonas hellmans? if it is this one i am instristed[/quote] No, this is the mayonnaise that was played by the late Dijon Entwistle. It's a very similar model to Hellmans.

    [quote name='steve-soar' post='1111795' date='Feb 1 2011, 11:22 PM'] [/quote] Typical that they focus on anything but the bass when all the cool bass shizz is going down.
  18. EBS_freak
    I have Mayonnaise for trade now, picked it up in a deal. May have to scrape it off face first. You said in your OP that you would be interested in a trade? Would you like to see pictures? (also have video)

    Could you give me the string spacing... in inches?
  23. EBS_freak
    What sort of finish are looking for? Poly/nitro? Solid, burst?

    Hey Matt, how's the tours going - quite a cool set of gigs last year! As for keeping it small, have you tried using a small power amp off the back off your sans amp - like a swr amplite? Or if you are digging the EBS sound, get a microbass2 into an amplite. Keep one of your cabs (they are 4 ohm so you can get the full whack out of the swr), job done. Russ
