  1. Past hour
  2. I absolutely love Thomastik rounds, got these 2nd hand here. Supple, smooth and very toneful. They're listed as medium scale, but fit 30" very happily. Unfortunately, the E string is noticeably duller than the others. If you can cope with that, these might be just the thing for you (!). Price includes postage. Cheers.
  3. Bought these from the marketplace here, they're nicely worn in - bright with the tone fully open, warmer with tone down. I'm not a fan of roundwounds, so here they are. Don't know the gauge, or composition, sorry. I think they're nickel... Price includes postage. Cheers.
  4. I had it on in the car this morning. 1000 Year Internal War - Crowbar
  5. Ha, I’ve looked at this so many times that I completely forgot that I’d already wished you GLWTS. Ah well, as much good luck as I can muster!
  6. When I got my first Sandberg, it made all my other basses feel hard to play 😅 (I sold them all in the following months, even my old faithful US Jazz I'd had for nearly 20 years, to buy more Sandbergs 🤣)
  7. Looks awesome! Definitely worth pursuing
  8. There is a happy ending to this tale. The manky 45-year-old Ibanez responded very well to the surgery. It now has a new hand-carved rosewood bridge and saddle, new nut and nice new jumbo frets. It's comfortable to play and has a lovely sound. It still whiffs a little, but that will probably fade with time. The tuners are the right colour now as well. (The bridge is on straight by the way. There's a funny optical illusion created by the two dark lines in the grain, which don't quite run parallel to the centreline.)
  9. New Years Day - U2
  10. Very true, just like the fact that the same measurements will feel very different on two basses. The Sterling shortie I am trying to sell has a very similar string height to the Sandberg, and while the Sterling feels very hard to play for me, the Sandberg feels like butter!
  11. Fitted a BT7 last week. Very slight ream to accommodate the ferrule and drill holes for the mounting screws.
  12. Queen Of The New Year - Deacon Blue
  13. Queen of the Hours - ELO
  14. Compare that to the Behringer Model D at £169. 🙂 (Though admittedly the latter one is only a scale model. 😀 )
  15. Very sad news.... 😞 RIP Sam.
  16. Allen & Heath ZED10-FX in a fitted case. An excellent mixer for small projects. Apart from the small scratch on the base, it’s in lovely condition; it’s always lived in the case. Allen & Heath preamps are sweet! The case is specifically for the mixer. These are £310 new without a flightcase… £200. Collection.

  17. Today
  18. I hear what you're saying, but unless you have an accurate way to measure the amount of relief in the neck, as well as the saddle height, the measurements will only ever give you a starting point.
  19. A nice Squier CV Bass VI bargain down near Salisbury way..... Pick up only, or I'd have had it already 🙂 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/277051537690?_skw=bass+guitar&itmmeta=01JSA6NGFPGMSETTZ49629KMRT&hash=item40818ef91a:g:dysAAeSwH89oBSRd&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA0FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1d56Nu%2BViP8HV8aJiHcT2u%2BDyUVUUtTRI0U%2BJBf1%2FnHf%2FdjzM7JqKuOTbagTR%2BBXrcDIdzHy%2BD6i2OrWC9Jg6KhCbSLBktFY9wp3%2FPZiA86puVET0tZmFdlIx4v4qpoZwqq4umrGqknI8lLY4BJuirEAMjJy5C7aZ6tCSjo0cUxjj%2FIvY%2FKFKPR1t62ddkzislXqp%2FyCQkM65ANeDRoLzpLFKAejZugvpHzVDh6UjUFOuKyMEFDp0lRy%2Fx1RTpw6XI%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4yI1sbKZQ
  20. This is really cool, but tinged with the knowledge that I’d never be able to afford/justify it. I’m guessing the production version would be £300+. I love Lego but it’s getting pretty damn pricey. Visited Billund LEGOLAND and Lego house last week, amazing experience but most of the sets in the shop are £150+!
  21. Love this story @TheGreek! Thanks for sharing it.... 🙏
  22. You really like that album don't you! 😆 King of the Universe - ELO
  23. Thanks for the heads up but I'm already well-stocked on the TK-421 front. It's a lovely pedal though so I'm sure someone will get joy from it!
  24. Eternal Kingdom - Cult of Luna / Julie Christmas / Pertubator
  25. I own 2 x J5s from Overwater. Both 35 scale's and an absolute dream to play.
