  1. Interesting Paint-wise, I'm not all that keen on white, generally, but I love the white and pale grey that Yamaha do on the RBX4A2. That should work really well on the faceted body, IMO.
  2. Useful, thanks for posting
  3. It's an Ibanez SRX of some sort. Bound body, four knobs in a row. (I have an SRX430, out on loan to a friend.) Which specific model, I don't know; I'd guess you can't tell without looking at it up close.
  4. Looks good so far. I love the neck dots Also, please tell more about your Vox Standard fretless. I've been wondering about doing something similar for a bit.
  5. [quote name='sebowden' timestamp='1440802576' post='2854073'] Anything left? [/quote] Unlikely, given it's nearly two years later.
  6. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1440841706' post='2854237'] wonder if you could do some kind of T40 market place where the price varies according to the weight.... [/quote] Inversely
  7. [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1440800784' post='2854062'] Very true - but I sooo badly want a Riverhead Unicorn to go alongside my Hohner B2A & Cort P/J. No way on earth to justify four... ....is there? J. [/quote] I forgot the Hondo Alien... so yes
  8. [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1440700466' post='2853150'] Obviously make sure that your new neck has the same number of frets as the current one. Seems obvious, but easily overlooked. [/quote] This!
  9. I may also decide to sell my T-40... I don't get on with the neck, and replacing it would be barbarous
  10. Bach cello pieces. Try Suite no.3 in Cmaj. I guess there is a chance of offending purists.
  11. [quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1440758923' post='2853544'] Very tempted - these don't come up very often. But I can't exactly justify owning [i]three[/i] 80s headlesses... Jon. [/quote] They don't take up much space... (Hohner B2A, Westone Rail, Kramer The Duke here.)
  12. Looks nice, doesn't it? I have the impression black ones are relatively rare. Sadly, the £125 shipping cost is not my perfect number...
  13. [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1440772429' post='2853753'] blimey... not really worth it then. [/quote] Makes the Thomann shipping look proper cheap, doesn't it?
  14. [quote name='Donnyboy' timestamp='1440765918' post='2853655'] I've now received my Kahuna Ukulele bass , and my initial thoughts are that there's nothing much wrong with it as far as I can see/hear , but then I've never had a Uke bass before! [/quote] I wondered who got to that before me Hope it's a good'un!
  15. This is the sort of thing I was getting at here: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/268462-a-modders-database-feeler/page__pid__2853386#entry2853386 Neck radius is the fingerboard curvature, I am sure. I've seen profiles online, but they aren't necessarily useful to the inexperienced player.
  16. [quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1440743590' post='2853386'] Great idea. Hohner B bass has a set neck... [/quote] Thanks My B Bass B doesn't... possibly I am not aware of the Hohner range.
  17. [quote name='howdenspur' timestamp='1440755311' post='2853497'] I recall someone in the BC community (can't remember who) saying something like "if you're going to play in a worship group, do it for spiritual reasons rather than musical ones, otherwise you'll be conflicted". Having said that, I'm with the OP on this. "Community" also means asking " would it be OK if...?" or "do you think it would work if...?". Not just turning up! [/quote] Indeed.
  18. Skint... Good luck with your sale
  19. Delta Five, IIRC.
  20. [quote name='LITTLEWING' timestamp='1440101222' post='2848384'] Anyone near Poole, this guy is a legend. [url="https://www.facebook.com/john.j.benton?fref=ts"]https://www.facebook....benton?fref=ts[/url] [/quote] Good to know. Thanks.
  21. I've gone the wood route a couple of times. Make sure you let it dry [u]thoroughly[/u] before re-drilling
  22. [quote name='landwomble' timestamp='1433920303' post='2795001'] I've tried an E Bow on a bass and it didn't have enough power to work so I do think you'd need to turn up the amplification. [/quote] When I knew where it was, I had a bass-eBow. That was useless on one setting but worked fine on the other.
  23. A Stanley blade definitely won't do it, and you risk both your own fingers and the finish of the bass..
  24. [quote name='bassgurumonster' timestamp='1440534493' post='2851746'] Cant load them. Plz send email. Cheers [/quote] BC site software has issues with images. Your best bet is to host them somewhere like Photobucket and link to them.
