    No cash... Shame, because I really like this.

    [quote name='JoeEvans' timestamp='1435339629' post='2807934'] Pure beeswax is the best thing I've tried. You can hold it in your hand for a while and it goes soft enough to mould, but then it sets nice and hard and sticks well. And you can just polish out the smears. [/quote] That's an excellent idea. Thanks

    Another Vox Standard. The one I've got has been partially stripped, weighs a ton and has a treetrunk for a neck, but I love it dearly and will never part with it. But I'd like one to put a J-width fretless neck on. Also, I keep seeing a pale blue/maple Ibanez GSR250 on eBay. Pretty

    [quote name='Cato' timestamp='1435428612' post='2808746'] Just thought I'd bung this up, best thing I've seen on this years Glastonbury coverage so far (and not just because of the super-cute break dancing kid) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eayeI_0yAKI[/media] [/quote] That was cool

    [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1435310370' post='2807444'] I often say to the kids "We are family" ( when I say kids I don't mean NKOTB) [/quote] I've heard your sisters are doing it for themselves.

    [quote name='2x18' timestamp='1435304172' post='2807371'] 43 mm Will. [/quote] Thanks Will. Sorry, but I'd never play it GLWTS!

    That's a blast from the past! And an old favourite. I liked the b-side of the single as well, but I have no idea what it was called.

    What's the nut width?

    Gone for £365...

    Interesting. Not keen on the Angel scratchplate (except for the Emperor, which reminds me of something somehow). The Super P looks nice

    Do these work with magnetic pickups, or just piezos?

    [quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1434976844' post='2804296'] Most bands that I've seen that change instruments do it due to alternative tunings. [/quote] Done this once or twice; one in EADG, one in DGCF, because I needed the open low D.

    I bought some strings from Calum. A clean easy quick transaction, just as it should be. He actually sent them before I'd paid him... ! I'd be happy to deal with him again.

    I do like this. It looks like a Fleabass, but nicer. Might be coming past Leeds early next month. :ponders:

    Where are you?

    [quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1431966905' post='2776711'] Beady Belle - Self Fulfilling. Nice groove type thing. Can't post a Youtube link - no idea why. Used to work fine. [/quote] I think there's been some sort of update to the site software, because I haven't been able to see many links posted for several months. It seems to be the ones in [media] tags. My browser doesn't show them at all, so I get "I've been listening to this:" and nothing else Firefox 38.0.5 on WinXP SP3, with Adblock Plus and Flashblock.

    I like the Snark tuners. Easy to read, good display.

    [quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1434749696' post='2802612'] By a very long way - this......... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxkFcDWRPNo[/media] [/quote] I'd forgotten that ever existed.

    Nut's too wide for me. Kodiakblair's probably got one already
  24. alyctes
    Would changing only one pot be a way of getting an ear for the difference? (Disclaimer: this may be an electrically stupid idea
  25. alyctes
    Agree on slides. Make sure it's properly intonated and in tune; it makes much more of a difference on a fretless. Don't think of it as another bass guitar; it's an instrument in its own right.
