The Untouchables, 'Tighten Up'.

I've recently got my cello back in working order after many years, but the walls are thin at home and I can't run it through headphones as I do with bass guitars. So, I'm thinking about an electric cello. Budget is not large - say £250 maximum. Can anyone comment on the electric cellos out there? Any experiences would be welcome. thanks Mike

I bought a cello tailpiece from Alastair. A seamless transaction; all as advertised, good communications, prompt posting, well packaged. I'd have no hesitation in dealing with him again. thanks Mike

Many thanks for this - I've got to my 50s without trashing my back, and this good advice should help with staying that way.

Everyone knows about T-40s. But the T-45 is new to me (on account of being ignorant). Anyone know what they're like? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEAVEY-T-45-VINTAGE-USA-BASS-GUITAR-MAPLE-NECK-SUNBURST-T45-T60-30-AMERICAN-/221014210210?pt=Guitar&hash=item33757936a2

Bought an EBow Plus from Faiz. All went well despite my having to get my bank password reset half way through. Good communications including volunteering the tracking number. I'd be happy to trade with Faiz again. Thanks!

Bought a set of flatwounds from Ted. Seamless transaction, no issues, good communication. Happy to trade with him again. Thanks Ted

Looks like a relist (at £550 !): http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mayones-Jabba-5-string-Bass-guitar-/150807308209?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DDLSL%252BSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BUA%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D150801888113%252B150801888113%26po%3D%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D8095283880651378198

Could have been worse. Tiny stage. My playing was rubbish throughout; couldn't hear the guitars, which really doesn't help. I suspect they couldn't hear each other, either. Pretty much total absence of audience (weather-related, venue is a caravan park), so it was more of a rehearsal, and not a great one. But we did get paid Trick now is convincing them they should pay us again next month. Hmm.

missed it! If daz changes his mind, I'd like second dibs please
