  1. [quote name='andydye' timestamp='1403194174' post='2480715'] oh hello nurse that's awesome! [/quote] Oh I remember when you were talking about looking for one or "Did someone have on"? and now it's here. Are you really going to clean it? If no one has died touching it, I certainly would just love to look at it as it is. Anyone going to polish the Holy Grail? Nah! Still I grew up in Portobello Road. Learned the value of dirt on an icon a long time ago. Good luck to you. How about some sound bites using those original strings? That would be one of the most awsom recordings for a collection. I am sure we would all enjoy and respect an opportunity to hear the authentic sound before you took it apart (probably way too late now!)?.
  2. May I add my own question to this thread pls. If I am out of order maybe an admin could just shift me. I'm a Londoner lived here in Spain on my pnsion (Not Whining!) but I like to buy the occasional Bass Body from the Staes 'USA', and it's becoming impossible now! I have had a 62 P Bass RI stuck in Spanish customs since 30th September. Ofcourse the body cost around $300, the shipping$76 and now ofcourse The TDP part of the Spanish 'Correos' Post Office are holding my bass body untill I pay 21% import duty. But its 300 miles away in Madrid and I'm on the coast in Malaga. I find anything that comes by post always attract Customs while DHL UPS etc, wizz through for the benefit of customer care etc! So that may give you give a helpful clue. Ofcourse that may only be the case here but think about it! The Post of is Just a Tax Collector! Anyone have any ideas of importing from the USA that might save some money? Cheers!
  3. It's funny but cannot remember if I said hi before so Hi ! They say violinists have great memories. If only I had known that all those years ago. It would not have made any difference haha![attachment=203670:IMG_1915.JPG]
  4. [quote name='ziggybass' timestamp='1445874974' post='2894912'] Well as I know "Mellow Yellow was a substance (and could also be chics or?) But yeh I get uncumfortable with some lyrics when with my kids, even though they are now adults. And why the hell do we now not bother when their are so many F's N's and I hear a C in one song as despite my age my bassist ears are real sensitive! How we fall so far? It wasn't me! [/quote] Yes I know your goin to say mellow Yellow but the West Indians around Ladbroke Grove called it "The yellow that maked you mellow", Mellow Yellow made more sense to company! I lived in Lancaster Rd and Don, in Tavistock Cresant or rd? I could look it up but why? All the bands wanted to live around there 'Notting Hill' in those days! Sorry old man chuntering on!
  5. [quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1445798784' post='2894315'] There are some songs that, if you listen to the lyrics, really shouldn't be played pre-watershed. A good example is Unbelievable by EMF - saying F*** Yellow Mellow by Donovan - widely considered to be advocating underage sex. Any others? [/quote] Well as I knew the guy I can tell you yellow mellow was a substance (and could also be chics or?) But yeh I get uncumfortable with some lyrics when with my kids, even though they are now adults. And why the hell do we know not bother when their are so many F's N's and I hear a C in one song as despite my age my bassist ears are real sensitive! How we fall so far? It wasn't me!

  8. [quote name='BassBurns' timestamp='1437672120' post='2828120'] [s]La Bella nickel plated round wound, 6 string set, 29-128, long scale: I only put the A string on for a few days, otherwise as new. £18 including P&P.[/s] Now Sold. La Bella Quarter Wound, 5 string set, 45-128, XL scale: E and B are unused, and A, D, and G have only had light playing for a week. [s]£20[/s] £15.50 including P&P. [s]Fender Pure Nickel 7150M, 45-105, long scale: E and G are unused, and the D and G were only on for a couple of days. £14 £10.50 including P&P. Now Sold.[/s] The strings I tried were put on my thru-body Fender P bass, see pictures for where the bends are. No strings were cut. All sets come with original packaging. Even though the quarter wounds are XL scale, they should fit a standard length bass (34"), as long as it has a thru-body bridge. Would consider trading for similar condition La Bella 760Ns (4 or 5 string set), or La Bella 760FSes. Attached are a few pictures. Paypal only please. Thanks for looking! [/quote] I am looking for bass strings cheap as am a pensioner. Please tell me what you have left and will you post them to Spain? Just one postage rate up from UK Large envelope and cross ways Sellotape. Works for me Thank you!

Would you refresh your list and I am not familier with Kagan and one or 2 links wont open for me. Also if you have spec, for Pups and PAmps or a link that works it would be helpful as I have issues focusing at times. Web searches can take me hours for simple things. Photos are a real blessing to! I can pay using Visa/Paypal or cash in Birthday Cards Hope to hear from you!
  12. [quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1443194845' post='2873041'] Hi all I have three sets of 45-105 flats for sale, all cut for P Bass: i) Carvin (made by La Bella) - 5 string set, low B never used. Light fraying on the silks of the other four strings ii) and iii) GHS Precision Flats - fraying silks but strings just nicely broken in I'm looking for £22 posted per set. Thanks Gareth [/quote] Hi will you take 10o quid for the La belle strings and ofcourse I pay postage to Spain? Living on a pension at 71 aint easy but you have to smile and play bass! Good Luck.
