  1. Possibly. I like the idea, just not sure if I'd be able to afford it.
  2. Not looking good. Stagg don't do anything for a semi-acoustic. AFAICT Warwick ditto. Hagstrom and Guild are short scale. It's not easy to get any dimensions for a non-generic case - not surprising, but not helpful.
  3. Thanks folks; now I have some leads to follow up.
  4. [quote name='Muppet' timestamp='1446931315' post='2903645'] What bass is it? Fender do one that fits the Coronado and starcaster. [/quote] Yamaha BEX 4 - this one http://basschat.co.uk/topic/265853-yamaha-bex-4-fretless-now-sold/page__p__2834886__hl__bex%204__fromsearch__1#entry2834886. They don't make them any more.
  5. No idea if they are still for sale. http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/114038290?utm_source=preloved&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AdAlert http://www.preloved.co.uk/adverts/show/114067813?utm_source=preloved&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=AdAlert
  6. [quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1446144018' post='2897340'] I can't help thinking that it could do with some green fur somewhere ! [/quote] This Bridge mutes ?!
  7. Very nice colour If I was playing fives, I'd be thinking hard about it... but no, so just a free bump.
  8. [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1446754712' post='2902160'] Heat a scalpel over a flame then gently ease it down the "slits" for the nut this will melt the glue and the nut will pull out I would advise covering up the fretboard if you have not done this before [/quote] Will this work for that sort of glue? The OP could always try it out on some scrap wood first - he knows what the glue is, so it should be easy to glue some bits together to experiment on.
  9. That's glorious! I'm never going to be in a hair metal band, but it would almost be worth joining one just to gig this...
  10. At least it's not bassalt... What's the body made of? Luthite, I guess.
  11. How old is it? How much use does it get? Flats, or rounds, or what?
  12. Probably not suitable for mixed company. Or any company at all. Sorry, chaps.
  13. "Official Licensed FIFA Product"... so someone paid a fee to make and sell these.
  14. [quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1446758563' post='2902205'] Woah! That website is beyond mental. I'm a bit bonkers, but that is terrifying. [/quote] "The Magic Dogs Cast"... hopefully their owners pick up after them
  15. Five, of which only two ever get used - the two Snark clipons, one to stay at home and one in the gigbag.
  16. [quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1446606797' post='2900792'] Post a pic of the nut as there's two ways a nut can be attached. This will give us a better idea of how to attack it. If the glue is very strong a nut can be a right pain to remove without any damage. Often strong glue will either crack the wood or leave an uneven surface behind after removal. Nuts really don't need strong glue to stay in place and a little goes a long way. [/quote] If I remember correctly from my BBN5, the nut is in a sawn slot in the fingerboard; it's not free at the headstock end.
  17. [quote name='Earbrass' timestamp='1446597263' post='2900767'] Värttinä - went to their album-launch gig last month in Helsinki. Fabulous stuff and well worth the trip. [/quote] I am jealous!
  18. Robyn Hitchcock, solo in Winchester. He was fine. Not as good as Aldershot 18 months ago, an absolute classic.
  19. Nick sold me a nice wide leather strap. No issues at all, and I'd happily trade with him again. This is the second time I've bought from him, which ought to get the message across Thanks Nick.
  20. [quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1446573938' post='2900517'] I've glued the top on and given it a first coat of danish oil. It will darken a bit more over the next few months. [/quote] That looks really nice!
  21. [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1444520327' post='2883858'] Looking good, this is what I did with a knackered Hohner Stick Bass a few years ago. [attachment=202444:S5000495.JPG] [/quote] I've still got it. Haven't played it in a while.
