Hi Tom, please ring me (local) 622952, Cheers, Ade -
I'm happy to say that Paul represents all of the good aspects traditionally found in most bass players, i.e. honest and trustworthy. The P Deluxe I bought was as described, very well parcelled-up and arrived on time. Cheers Pau, Ade

Hi Dave, great to see you today. Got the bass home and I've not been able to put it down. It seems to work for me really well and I'm chuffed. It's a shame bass players don't run the world. No hype just help. All the best Dave and hope to see you again at some future time, Ade

Many thanks, yes, I'm starting to think the same thing. Used to know a very handy chap, Clever Trevor, who was a wizz with amps etc. but I think he's now retired, or worse, as I've not come across him for a while. I'll start asking around. Cheers, Ade

Hi, North East Coast - Saltburn-by-Sea - North Yorkshire. Cheers, Ade

Thanks mate for this. I'm sure it's not battery issues, as I've put in a number of new PP3s and the same thing happens after about 10 mins. I've got two of these bases, almost identical, and the other one is fine. The bass, with the fault, does not die on me but once the volume level has dropped of - say about 20% after about 10 mins - it just stays at the lower volume. It's still perfectly usable but I've got to compensate for this predicted loss when playing. I could live with it but it's just got me baffled as to why this should happen. Very strange. Cheers, Ade PS I've got an old Stingray and someone, years ago, built in a period sliding on/off switch in the pickguard for exactly the same reasons as you've suggested.

Cheers, I'll give it a go, Ade

Many thanks. The battery doesn't drain though. The next time I use the bass it's fine, with the same battery, for about 10 mins then the volume starts to drop off again. It could be something as simple as a dry joint? I don't know any 'technical' people in my area so seeing if it's something simple first before I need to send it somewhere. Cheers again.

Hi, I've got two virtually identical Precision Lyte basses, both circa 1990, bought due to back issues and needing a lighter bass. One is fine but the other starts off at high volume but drops in volume after about 10 minutes of playing without any adjustments. I've put new batteries in but the same thing happens every time. I'm not an electronics expert but wondering if there's some form of capacitor that needs replacing? Just looking to see if anyone has had the same predicament and, if so, how they resolved it. Cheers, Adrian

A note to say I've just bought a lovely Lakland Bass from Ordep Resplandor, via Basschat, and would like to thank him for providing both an excellent description of the bass a going out of his way to get the instrument both properly packaged and delivered without any hitch. It must be a characteristic trait of bass players to be honest and trustworthy people and Chris exemplifies this. Thanks mate and all the best, Ade

Ceramic Bridge Saddle for Lodestone Pro 4 Bass
CountBassist replied to CountBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
Hi chaps, thanks so much for getting back to me. I did order a generic bridge set from Ebay with steel saddles, still waiting for it to come, but the lad I bought it from suggested emailing Mark or Guy at Ashdown Engineering. I did and Mark came straight back to me say that they may have some in stock. I've asked for X2 and he said he'd get back to me on Tuesday. Thanks again, Ade -
