Wow. That's quite spectacular. Though the neck makes me nervous, it looks as if it's made of sandpaper. (Was that the Squier you had from me? I liked it well enough, but that... [i]thing[/i] is something else ) Edit: Pics with the new plate, please

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1427053799' post='2725201'] I wish it were the other way round to the original post - if only brands would sell roundwounds that were road-worn-in, so I didn`t have twangy/zingyness for a couple of weeks. Admittedly my faves, Roto Steel Rounds do die pretty quickly, but not quick enough - out of the packet would be best. [/quote] Sounds as if you and the OP should see if you can do a deal

I guess that Bob Mould's album 'Black Sheets Of Rain' also rates a mention. (Yes, the whole album.) Depression and the ends of relationships. Not recommended if you are actually depressed. Seriously.

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1429507279' post='2751976'] It's brand new [/quote] Good call

[quote name='Annoying Twit' timestamp='1429436455' post='2751293'] Gosh, that's generous. I don't have a 3/4 double bass, so I won't ask for this. [/quote] This.

Neck dive. 42mm nut width. More than 5 strings.

[quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1429457102' post='2751536'] Diane was in remembrance of a friend of the band who was murdered in the manner the song describes, so I don't think it was written principally to shock. [/quote] Thank you for the update, I wasn't aware of the personal nature of the song.

Hüsker Dü, 'Diane'. We lost a guitarist to that song; he quit rather than play it. Though it's more about shock value, I suppose.

Search for UK-BM1R produced this page: [url="http://www.worldsoundmusic.cn/products_detail/&productId=538ebe37-ca33-4ae5-949d-05c0f7951cfc.html"]http://www.worldsoun...c0f7951cfc.html[/url] and this one: http://www.j-guitar.com/product_id525707.html I think dv247 have put up the wrong pic. Shame...

[quote name='Beer of the Bass' timestamp='1429364257' post='2750820'] Is it really a bass uke, or is it some sort of error in the title? The strings and tuners look an awful lot like a standard uke. [/quote] Beat me to it Edit: I've asked dv247 for more info.

I can't see a scale length. Did I miss it?

[quote name='James Nada' timestamp='1429353245' post='2750673'] I quite like the look of that. The holes are a bit 60s Ampeg 4 stringer. [/quote] They are, aren't they? I like it, as a look. Price seems good too. :glances meaningfully at piggybank:

definitely too pointy for my taste, but I'm still curious

My sister lives in Bristol; I should be in the area in May, with any luck. Might be able to drop by with mine for an hour or two.

I have a Standard, which I love and will never sell, despite its weight and treetrunk neck; and also a Custom 3002, which is not very interesting at all, and is heavy and has a treetrunk neck. I should sell it, but I doubt I'd get what I paid.

The only time it's ever happened to me, I could only think "blimey. So you're tone deaf and don't know when my timing's f***ed...".
