Set of uke bass tuners and rubber strings. Tried to build something with these but should have listened to @owen and not bothered!!! Time to get rid........

I missed last year but have no intention of missing this year 1. Rich - Trace Elliot TE-1200 amp, Barefaced Super 12T cab, earplugs , Shuker custom 5, Tanglewood TRB-CE acoustic bass gtr. 2. Woody - Rickenbacker 4004-L5, maybe Sei Flamboyant, Same old basschat 12" with some amp, other stuff TBC 3. Pinball (tbc) - some interesting basses 4. Stubsy - Joyo BadASS, GRBASS AT212 slim - only 50W but that should give 120dB at one metre 😇. (or I bring my TE 1110 combo). Some fun pedals. Perhaps the AVII 1960 precision, the Sire P10 and maybe the Fender Performer and something unexpected... 5. Sean - Mesa 400+, Laney Nexus Tube 400 [oh jeez], MJW Taranis 200 (Filthbox Matamp clone with extra channel and EQ), GK MBF500, GK Fusion 550, 2 x BF TWO10S, Spectors TBD, Valenti #005 Super P, Yamaha BB2024x, Yamaha BB1300, plus a mini walk-in bass surgery if interested 6. Rosie - likely I'll bring my upright, set up for bluegrass/folk/jazz if anyone's not played upright before and fancies a go 7. Phil - BassChat cabs, maybe some sort of shootout? 8. MikeD - Laney Digbeth, Zilla 212, Dingwall Combusion, Revelation PJ, pedals, try to finish home made bass🤞🤞🤞🤞 9. neepheid - G&L CLF L-1000, Yamaha BB1200, Sire D5, Sire Z7, Greco LGB-700, Reverend Triad, Epiphone Les Paul (not so) Standard, Epiphone Thunderbird '64, Squier Jaguar H (with Ibanez CAP double humbucker from ATK200/800 etc), Gear4Music rat bass (with Lace Aluma-P), £150 giggable bass challenge, 1 or 2 amps depending upon space...

Slowly!!!😆

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.

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.

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

Bought a pickup from Iain - just as described, fast delivery and pleasant communications. 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

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.
