So the Yamaha BB415 at BD has been bought by a BC member. I just sent the details to the fella I traded my SUB for the BBG5S. He had bought a RBX as a replacement but was disappointed.

Shouldn't be surprised really but it's amazing how a coat of finish brings the grain to life. @Matt P is going to be a very happy man.

If you have an old 12lb+ ones you're missing out meeting the saucy receptionist at the local Chiropractor...

If I had to supply the rig I'd be OK....I have a Trace Elliot AH500. I'd probably need to turn it down a bit though...

I ordered a set of Warwick Tapewounds from Thomann - actually ordered a set of 45-105 and two .120 low Bs - total cost £37ish inc - cheaper than buying direct from Warwick - arrived safely today. Plan is to put them on my Lakland 55-01. Having the spare low B means I can use a set of the Status as a 5 string set (actually cheaper to order the low B from Status which I realised after placing an order with Dawn recently.) I wasn't sure what to expect post Brexit but it seems you can still order from Thomann and get the high standard of service we've come to expect. CHECK MY AMENDMENT BELOW!!

I've had to oil fretboards which have dried out and they have benefitted from being oiled. As suggested do it in moderation.

Just traded my Sire for my old SUB - an Aria acoustic came as part of the deal. Stupid price if you're interested.

RE: NWR's bass - was that the one for sale on the TV Programme "Four Rooms"?.

I would definitely contact Martin Herrick (Herrick Pickups) and discuss what you want. He will custom build you whatever you want and suggest ways to get the tones you want. I have his phone number - PM me if you want it.

When I bought my first Jaydee it came with a single pick up. Phone call to John - very polite and helpful - and despite the waiting list he encouraged me to send it to him where he installed the second pup and the electrics. Turn around was a couple of weeks IIRC. I can't remember the charge but I know it was very reasonable.
