  1. welcome aboard
  2. I'd be worried about the upper horn breaking along the grain, TBH.
  3. We seem to have similar taste in basses... GLWTS
  4. ooo pretty
  5. Allegedly Japanese-made so I'm going to post it here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Marlin-Idol-PB-26-vintage-bass-guitar-Teisco-Kawai-Japan-60s-short-scale-rare-/151341751929?pt=Bassi&hash=item233cabde79 It looks vaguely like one of those Russian 70s jobs, but prettier.
  6. Is the neck C-ish like the Mondial Classics?
  7. sunday evening rising up
  8. oooh... If that was a J-width neck... (then you wouldn't be selling it )
  9. ssshhh, they'll hear you I like Peaveys. I like their tone and their skinny necks. I have too many
  10. I bought a Vester 5-string from a bloke in South Wales; paid him extra to send it Parcelforce, because he wanted to use myHermes and I have no faith in them at all. He sent it by myHermes anyway. Tosser.
  11. Nice choice of scratchplate, that works very nicely
  12. £35 postage?! hmmm...
  13. Best wishes and hopes for a speedy recovery
  14. I add a set of Elites Unplugged 40-100 phosphor bronze acoustic strings. Opened but otherwise new.
  15. [quote name='Allie' timestamp='1403682687' post='2485152'] Hope it didn't hurt too much - you [u][b]seem[/b][/u] to have come out ok though Al [/quote] I admit that was a slight exaggeration... sadly all that teaching hasn't improved my playing much :|
  16. I like 'Suddenly Seymour', my old teacher worked me over with it.
  17. Seller is a BC member, same name.
  18. oooooh...
  19. I don't need to go busking, we just thought it might be fun. And it would let us play stuff we want to play, instead of stuff the band wants to play. (Is it inappropriate somehow to go busking if you don't need to?) Thanks to all for the advice
  20. I'm glad someone is trying new materials. I wish them luck. (And I hope it smells nicer than luthite...)
  21. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1403549794' post='2483837'] Hah! Me, I was born in cross-fire hurricane. Well, Poole actually. [/quote] It's a port port port.

    Cello

    I played in my teens (damn that's a long time ago...). My cello is old and very battered (it's broken twice across the neck that I know of), and as a result is too loud to play here (thin walls). I just bought a cheapo electric, though, so I'm hoping to get back into it
  23. Tele headstock is the only thing I would do (that would reduce the weight somewhat as well). Maybe even by reshaping the existing one? Cheap too - then you could buy something else to rework Or possibly reshape the headstock for a more Peavey-style shape, slightly pointy to match the body.
