  1. Just to be clear - the E, A and D strings are mint condition and unused. The G was only briefly fitted to my bass. This is effectively a brand new set, bar the G - which was only fitted to an instrument for a very short time. Someone with an NS Design EUB can grab a bargain set of brand new replacement strings, for half price....
  2. Just adding this as a possible addition to the deal. I'm also willing to throw in a rather nice K&K pickup & preamp. The K&K has both a Piezo pickup, plus a really nice microphone. The preamp allows control of the Piezo and the mic separately - so you can get the balance you want each time. (The mic usually sits just inside the f-hole, but I have just placed it on the outside so you can see it in the photo). The Gage Realist pickup which comes with this bass is really nice, of course - but I quite like having the option of choosing the K&K pickup, especially as the mic delivers such a nice, natural acoustic upright tone. Photos of preamp later. EDIT: So this now includes the stand and the K&K pickup + preamp - just making that clear. I might consider an offer, if you don't want the K&K......
  3. Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. I had several online chats with Nick. I once bought a bass from him - an oly white 2000's Precision. He always seemed a decent guy, and great to chat with. It was nice to have met him. We did discuss me heading to Monmouth, and heading out for a pint. Really wish we'd done that now 😪 Sincere condolences to his family. RIP Old Horse Murphy.
  4. Excellent. Thanks for sharing this video @tinyd
  5. Lovely bass. I had an identical one, from around the same era. It was lovely to play, and sounded amazing. Really sorry to hear of your health issues @FinnDave sad times indeed
  6. It may not be a great tune, and there may be countless "better" examples of 80's and electronic music out there - but the DJ and the record exec must like it, and after all, taste is an individual thing. Plus, it's also not the worst from that genre, nor that era. Best of luck to them, and this really is quite a nice story. If anyone finds the music I recorded around that time, I will deny I had anything to do with it furiously EDIT: Thanks for sharing this @Jonesy - it put a smile on my miserable old face anyway lol
  7. A huge, grinding bass tone indeed @Maude Still enjoying my Danelectro loads. I've rehearsed with several bands, using the bass now, and I'm still loving the sound and playability and of course, it's weight. I haven't changed strings as of yet - I quite like it the way it is.... for now. Also of note - I have hardly touched my other basses, particularly the long scale ones, since acquiring this beauty
  8. Hi @Seamoon Stone Welcome to Basschat
  9. Just wondering whether a combination of factors may help; Do you play finger-style? It may be worth playing with a pick, if the problem is in fingers on your right hand. Also, could lower tension strings help? I had some high tension flats on a bass, and some joints on my right hand were starting to ache - so I put low tension TI flats on that bass, and the problem stopped. Re left hand / stretching issues, I find short scale basses a bit easier on the left hand these days. Hope you can sort your problems and continue enjoying your bass playing. Best of luck.
  10. Happy NBD. I almost went for one of these in Red a few years back. It was cheap and in good condition- I opted for a MIM Mustang in the end, and really like it. It's good to play a few different scale lengths IMO, as its good to be able to swap between different scale basses when you want, without having to think too much about it. As you get older, lighter weight instruments become more attractive, and less stretching of the fretting hand becomes a more preferable option too. Enjoy your new bass 😀
  11. Oooh - that looks rather lovely 😀 Even better without the edge / binding tape.
  12. Just searched for that - it still seems to be there. Nice colour. Looks in decent condition... but I'll stick with mine for now. Could make a great NBD for a basschat member? 😀
  13. I had one of these a while back. Great sounding, compact head.
