    Have you tried it with a bass? (Possibly a stupid question, I don't really understand pedals.)
  2. alyctes
    That's a stonking colour

    Sisko Electrofanatik, 'My Realm'

    I think it might do both, depending on how tight the winding is. And, good question!

    Lowering the pitch seems weird... surely you'd be shortening the effective length of the string? That ought to raise the pitch, surely? The pitch wavering makes sense, because the free-floating solder coil would move and that would change the string length. Did it change the tone of the note? I think it might make it softer, more fretless-ish?

    Chris sold me some strings. All went well and I'm a happy bunny. I'd be happy to deal with him again. Thanks Chris

    Talking Heads, 'Remain In Light'. Richard and Linda Thompson, 'I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight'. I keep thinking I've forgotten one (or a dozen) but if I've forgotten them...

    Crying out for a defret... I may have to bid on that.

    It's really a shame they couldn't manage an orange fretboard

    I think, from eBay listings I've looked at, that the word you write here as "handle" is better translated as "neck". I could be wrong

    Snakefarm, 'St James'.

    Are the controls V/T, or V/V/T?
  14. alyctes
    Angelique Kidjo, 'Celia'.

    Ooooh... I really like that, but I really have not got space. Just as well Sean's got in ahead of me!

    Not in Britain at the moment... human waste floating by is routine, just now.

    Sean sold me some pickups. Haven't had the chance to actually wire them up yet, but everything else about the transaction was flawless - quick, uncomplicated, well packed, let me know when they'd been sent. Nice one

    Nor me. Good catch on 'international', that hadn't occurred to me. Agree, not Peavey. The headstock shape looks unaltered, so I'm guessing one of the many unsuccessful not-quite-a-Fender-of-course-it's-not-a-copy manufacturers.

    I would like to set the Sort By option on the individual subforums (Off Topic, Bas Guitars, etc.) so that I don't need to change the sort criterion every time I come to the site. Obviously this is not an earth-shattering problem, but it would be handy if there was an option to do this.

    What does the gold lettering say? Something 'professional', I think?
  21. alyctes
    Overpriced by somewhere about 200%, IMO.
  22. alyctes
    This is the body ad, I think? Worth reopening it, probably.

    What happened to the piezo bridge?

    There are a couple of related things which might have an effect. If you play left-handed, then you need a left-handed bass. I have the impression that for left-handed basses the choice tends to be smaller and the basses often more expensive. Also you might find it harder to find a teacher who's left-handed, which could make it harder to teach. It will be worth doing some research. The For Sale section here separates left- and right-handed basses; have a look, see how the number of basses available compares (because I might be talking complete nonsense ). Good luck whichever you try.

    I'm impressed by your adaptability. I played cello as a teenager; when I tried to pick it up again five years ago, I discovered that I couldn't play in fifths (cello string interval) any more. I've still got the cello, but it's tuned in fourths...
