    [quote name='blue' timestamp='1462911150' post='3046947'] To me, if a guy has paying work to offer he can be as manipulative as he wants. Blue [/quote] If we were getting paid, I'd probably agree. I won't work with her again, for sure.

    I'm not actually sure. Probably lack of talent. But the leader asked me about six weeks before "Do you think I'm too manipulative?", apparently seriously...

    [quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1462817339' post='3045976'] Necessary? No. Will I ever own a bass without them? Also no. I would much rather have the peace of mind. I prefer the schaller straplocks and they're easy to fit...even I could fit them! [/quote] This. It's not just gigs. I have had a bass come off its strap while I was in a lesson, minding my own business.

    I may be wrong, indeed. Personally, I wouldn't risk it. Good luck to the buyer

    Do Not Like.

    It's certainly got something.

    Without a trussrod... probably not viable with steel strings. It would probably be best to replace the piezo and fit a dummy J-type pup cover, then put plastic strings on it.

    [quote name='upside downer' timestamp='1462304176' post='3042008'] Here's a link that's a really useful read as it's one of the few about the saz that's in English! [url="http://www.khafif.com/rhy/saz/"]http://www.khafif.com/rhy/saz/[/url] [/quote] Excellent, thank you

    [quote name='upside downer' timestamp='1461867339' post='3038391'] Yep, the frets are tied on and made of something resembling plastic fishing wire. There are three courses of strings, two pairs and one triple. One of the pairs are tuned an octave apart, as is the triple course. I've tuned to Gg dd Aaa (known as bozuk düzen tuning) although there are supposedly over thirty different tunings! Many traditional Turkish musicians use a tuning that suits their own voice. It was seeing Lu Edmonds playing a saz with Public Image Ltd that got me interested in the instrument. Here's the man himself talking about his love of the saz. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVXHjgPvK3Q [/quote] That was cool Thanks!
