    Hi Rob, The slots were milled. Not the easiest thing due the the limitations of the tools used! Cheers

    Small pillar drill and a cheap x-y table from Amazon. Took a bit of time but turned out ok. I’d like to make the next one using proper tools as it would be quicker- the dials on my cheap table move it 1.5 mm per revolution and there is a bit of backlash so takes a bit of thinking about.

    No idea to be honest! It was made as a test piece to see if I could make one myself with the tools I have after being let down by something who was supposed to be making one for me. I’ll have another go using brass when I get time. I’ll have a look at that Alumec-89 - cheers.

    I’ve always fancied a Status with a fancy wood top but can neither afford one or even find one! Made the headpiece from aluminium - will be using tuners similar to ABM.

    Shame I’m no where near Suffolk - looks like a great bit of kit.

    Bought some pickups from Ben. Just as described, fast postage and polite communication. Top chap!! Many thanks!

    A Spirit Folio Notepad mixer I got with a bunch of stuff recently. No power supply unfortunately and it uses one that isn’t standard. Unit is nicely built and in good condition. Be a shame to bin it

    Hi, my preference is to sell this but you know how it is if something interesting comes along!! Let me know if you have something in mind though I wouldn’t be looking at 5 strings or effects thanks. Cheers

    There used to be a piezo 4 string bass bridge with piezo you could get if eBay for about £40. Maybe someone on here has one in a drawer somewhere….a bit like these. https://www.bachmusik.com/en/guitar-hardware/bridges/bass-bridge/bass-bridge-with-piezo-pu https://shoppartsland.com/hpz4-bk/ I’ve made a few basses with piezo bridges and used John East preamps. I’ve tended to use Shadow pickups which I think work nicely. John East does a pre amp that works as a mixer set between a mag pickup and piezo. Nice and compact too. I think Graphtec also do a preamp for mixing mag and piezo pickups.

    These look lovely. Just down the road but more than my life is worth if I did anything other than window shopping!!

    Hi. Just measured it and it is 17.5mm spacing. Cheers

    Fishman Pro EQ II acoustic instrument preamp Excellent condition. Boxed with instructions, belt clip. etc. Would prefer collection from Tewkesbury but can look at postage options.

    Korg D4 Multitrack Recorder for sale that I bought new some years ago. It is in excellent condition and comes with the original memory card It's in the original box with power supply and manual. It can do quite a lot but I'm easily confused when there is more than one function on a button so has had minimal use!! Would prefer pickup from Tewkesbury but can look at postage options

    Fostex MR8 mkII 8 track digital multitrack recorder. Includes a 32GB compact flash memory card. The batteries had leaked and corroded the contacts in the battery compartment only so I have replaced these with nice shiny new ones so it works as it should on both batteries and with a mains adapter. There is a a non-original mains adapter included as well as the original manual less the cover page. I have recorded a couple of basslines to ensure it works (and deleted them afterwards to hide my dodgy playing...) https://fostexinternational.com/docs/archive_products/MR-8_MkII.shtml Would prefer collection from Tewkesbury but could look at postage options if required.

    To answer a couple of questions the bass weighs 4.4kg and the string spacing is 17.5mm. Just for interest, the black bass is heavier at 4.9kg - quite a difference!! Cheers
  19. Jabba_the_gut
    No real reason apart from I prefer the colour and it has flats on it!! Cheers

    They are superb basses. I've had a USA SUB 4 Stingray, a USA SUB 4 Sterling (that gets really confusing with the current naming...) as well as these two USA SUB 5s. I'm keeping the black one....

    I don't really play five strings but ended up buying two of these over the years as really like them so one has to go!! This one is in excellent, near mint condition - there are no chips, dents scratches etc. The chrome is pretty much free of any pitting. There can't be many around in this sort of condition. I've owned it for nearly 14 years and it hasn't had a great deal of use in my time (an absolute waste...). It comes in a generic hard case and has the original checker plate scratchplate as well as the red one fitted. £725 collected from Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.

    Didn’t even get started!! Unfortunately there has been a lot of non- bass related things going on so I just haven’t had much chance for building over the past 18 months. Hopefully next year…. Cheers

    Thanks again to Mr and Mrs Scrumpy, Scrumpet and everybody else for organising this event. Like many others, I look forward to this event in the calendar every year. Great to catch up with the regulars but also those new to this bash. Thanks again and can’t wait until next year!!
  24. Jabba_the_gut
    For anyone that is unsure about this bass bash, it is a really relaxed event. There’s no relentless slapping or folk trying to show how good they are (I’d fail anyway!) just a load of different gear and people with a common interest. Ask yourself how often you can chat about basses without the other person falling asleep or asking why you need more stuff……
