    Bought a cab off Paul. Dead easy, well packaged for shipping and exactly as described when I received it. Really helpful chap and great communication. Highly recommended. Cheers

    Should look nice when fully sanded and finished

    Got a Boss BR1180 that doesn’t work. Includes the manual and a Sky power supply. The backlight on the display lights up but no-one is home….. Free to anyone for postage cost. Cheers

    I haven’t tried them before so will see what they are like. I have made a jig to install them so they are equal distance apart - certainly easier to install the Hipshot style bridge!

    There’s a guy called Chris Seldon who makes stunning basses - look him up. I really like the shape of them and thought it would be a good shape for a headless. I saw someone else make a patchwork top so I thought that might would be a good use of all the off cuts I have.

    I’m trying two different headless bridges on these builds - I’ll let you know what they’re like when I get a bit further on.

    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.
  9. Jabba_the_gut
    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!!
  20. Jabba_the_gut
    Hi. Just measured it and it is 17.5mm spacing. Cheers
  21. Jabba_the_gut
    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
  25. Jabba_the_gut
    No real reason apart from I prefer the colour and it has flats on it!! Cheers
