There's a contact/WhatsApp button on the mobile version of the Bass Bros website if you don't want to use the phone and whenever I've contact Will via it he's responded swiftly.

Steve was kind enough to respond to my Wanted ad for a Boss SY-1. The pedal is excellent and Steve offered me a great deal for it and even posted it next day delivery before I sent payment! A top chap who represents all the best parts of Basschat. Highly recommended.

For sale is a Boss AB-2 2-way selector switch in excellent condition (the boxed one is now sold). These are really useful selector pedals that allows various different configurations (switching inputs and outputs). Ideal of you want to run two basses in to an amp or a bass in to two amps etc. Overview from Boss: The BOSS AB-2 is a 2-way selector that makes changing inputs or outputs easy. One stomp is all it takes to instantly switch between two guitars or effects setups, change amplifiers or switch between an amp and tuner. Rock-solid BOSS construction ensures the AB-2 will stand the test of time. I'm looking for £32 posted.

My recently acquired VM5 from Will at Bass Bros, weighing in at under 8 1/2lbs. I have a run of gigs and a bit of recording where a 5'er is needed so I took the plunge. I love SR5's but this is easily the best 5 String I've had the pleasure of playing. I'm up to three Sandbergs now and am really so pleased with them.

It's held on by the tension of the strings, nothing else. On the Jack (from memory) you could still access the truss rod while it was in place as the unit literally just sits on top of where the strings feed through the holes, not the hole head piece. They do work a treat. I'm no artist (well, certainly no Rolf Harris) and if you can work out from my cruddy drawing, they sort of fit like this.

Bingo finishes at twenty-five past nine...
Old Horse Murphy replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
There was a pub in the early-mid 2000's in Kingston where we often used to play after the strippers had finished on a Sunday lunchtime. It used to remind me of Jabba The Hutt's Palace but with stickier floors. Not the best gigs but we used to get lunch for free and it was a strangely subdued (dare I say spent) audience. -
Sold some strings to Chris in what was a totally hassle-free pleasant deal. Highly recommended

Tuner, compressor, overdrive, octaver and chorus for me. I don't use them all the time for every song but they're there if I want to use them and add some variety to my sound.

Basses for sale on Basschat - post Brexit.
Old Horse Murphy replied to wombatboter's topic in General Discussion
Sadly this sums it up for me, likewise in selling to the EU. -
I'm a big Sandberg fan and that's especially lovely even by their high standards

Reminds me of a clue from 321.

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

Thanks. I think it's 39mm -

The shell pink was a loan and unfortunately I didn't have enough dirt on the owner to get to keep it! -

Well the shell pink Sandberg Lionel didn't end up in my possession so I picked this up instead. It looks like it's been reliced by Scooby Doo wearing a blindfold but it plays beautifully, sounds fab (passive electronics) and weighs under 7.5lbs. Love it -
Plucking Fingers - more attack
Old Horse Murphy replied to BassAdder60's topic in General Discussion
The answer is thimbles of course -
Grabby- that just about sums up my experience too but I couldn't think of the best way to describe it.
-
I favour Thomastiks, so a tightly tied shoelace can feel high tension to me!
-
I find them very high tension so I generally avoid them. They sound great but I reckon you could use them comfortably to drop anchor (IMHO of course). If that's your preference though they'd probably be perfect.

The first 75 seconds of bass - WOW!
Old Horse Murphy replied to Happy Jack's topic in General Discussion
And the great Colin Hay on guitar too.
