  1. I'm trying to get in touch with Peter Georgiadis from Gallery Strings. I haven't spoken to him since 2018 and only have a Hastings landline and email address. I've had no luck with either. I have a nagging feeling that he may have moved. Does anyone have a contact number for him and can DM me with it please?
  2. I've used a lot of different streaming sites. started on Spotify, moved to Deezer for a couple of years, tried Apple Music, then to Google Play (which I left when it merged with youtube), and have been using Qubuz for the last couple of years. It's a little more but I prefer it. Like nige1968 I hated what Apple did to the artwork so I left it after the 3 month trial. I also find iTunes slow and bloaty, though I do have a stupidly large number of files in my library which I could try and pare down to a more manageable second library as default. I tend to use VLC when I need to play something on my mac as it's quicker.
  3. Rio has just travelled up to Manchester and bought my Mo Clifton EUB. Very easy, quick communications and a pleasure to meet and do business with. I'm glad that the bass has found a good new home.
  4. Sorry, only just saw this. Nothing in message box though.
  5. It's a shame it hasn't worked out for you. I've heard a lot of good things about them and was very tempted to get one last year but decided on a GR powered cab instead as I've got more preamps than is healthy. The DS is 600w though...maybe have a word with your drummer
  6. Thanks, it does look a little like a 7 on the photo but it is a 1. That would make it the 4th built in 2001. I've just dug up the invoice to check.
  7. In the 15th photo there is a mic stand screw size adjuster that isn't included. I don't know why it was in the bag with the other bits. It's near the hex key with the long and short fixing bolts.
  8. For sale my Clifton Electric Upright Bass. £1475 It’s around 25 years old, an early one, serial no 014. It’s been well used and gigged and has a few knocks to show for it (we are in the ‘roadworn’ age). It plays really well and has an ungigged set of Thomastic Dominants on it. I promised myself I would sell it after buying an Eminence 3 years ago so I took it to my luthier to get it tidied up and to get the scoop out of the fingerboard. Embarrassingly, I’d played it for over 20 years and not thought to get this work done on the finger board while getting it shot. The problem I had was when I got it home I found that it now played so much better than it ever had and I was reluctant to move it on. I’d mainly used it for Cuban gigs but I’m doing most of those on 5 string bass guitar now and the Eminence holds it own if I need upright. I am a self confessed gear hoarder but I’m going to be strong. I was in touch Mo recently to find out what size the bridge adjuster wheels were as I was thinking of swapping the Full Circle for a Yamahiko on my double bass and wanted to know if I’d be able to fit the FC to the Clifton. It’s a different size (8mm) so I couldn’t do it but I found out Mo has retired and is not making these anymore. The bass feels very comfortable due to the floating shoulder matching exactly where your body rests against a double bass. The pickup is a David Gage Realist Copperhead. (There’s also an old Underwood on it in the photos. I was experimenting with blending the two. I’ve taken it off and have misplaced it.) It also comes with a very sturdy Yamaha cymbal stand, which is much stronger than the original stand, and a fitted case. The stand has a missing rubber foot but that’s never been a problem. The logo has worn off the headstock (pictured). The shoulder and back rests are removable and I have included the bag I store them in.I've just discovered the bag has an old set of Evah Pirazzi in it which I'll include in case you don't like the Dominants. I’m not going to be able to post this. I’m based in Manchester and am happy for people to come and try it out.
  9. From the impressions around the screw holes it looks like something like these may have been removed (see picture). I also have no idea what they are for.
  10. I just bought some cables from Etienne and they were delivered the next day. Quick comms. recommended
