  1. Lots of technical explanations above... All you really need to know - TRACE ELLIOT IS BETTER!!!
  2. Spirit (level) in the sky - Norman Greenbaum
  3. Love how the woods complement each other...watching with interest.
  4. I've been able to find 4 string sets of Tapewounds but not 5 string sets. Really frustrating. I rang Dawn at Status and she was able to dig through some shelves and managed to find me a .40 and 2x .120s which I can use to make the full set with the existing sets of Status Tapewounds I bought a while back.. As always she was polite and really helpful. Many thanks, Dawn. FYI she has no sets, she has very few long scale (but not enough to make a full set) and a few medium scale (fine for 2+2 headstocks)
  5. Vintage is a brand I see for sale quite a lot but know nothing about. They seem to use exotic materials (as with this) which I would associate with "quality" but they sell for not much. I like the look of them - a nod towards the Nanyos I so love. This looks like a good bass - unfortunately I'm trying to persevere with 5ers and I've been burnt by fretless basses in the bass - I need to leave them alone. I'm sure that this will sell without any problem - GLWTS.
  6. You mean Wife's birthday, wedding anniversary type thing???
  7. ...and famously "When Doves cry" but take the bass out of most tracks and listeners notice.
  8. I get knocked down but I get up again - Chumbawumba
  9. I contend that people may not know what/ when the bass is playing but sure notice when it isn't there...
  10. ...and you have the confidence that if you have any issues with Ashdown gear as it's built in the UK you can get it repaired for, if not free, very little. Ashdown CS is becoming legendary - they have a presence here - @Ashdown Engineering - and the HQ in the South East is accessible via the M25 . Can't go wrong really.
  11. I think you'll have to delete existing attachments. I did it again recently - I think it's one of those periodic things we'll have to get used to with the current system.
  12. Midnight train to Georgia - Gladys Knight & The Pips
  13. Currently listening to "Off the Wall" by Michael Jackson. It's been years since I listened to it last and I've realised that it isn't just a collection of very good songs but there are some wicked bass lines in there too.
  14. I bought it from eBay - over a metre for less than £20 - came safely boxed. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1311&_nkw=iron+on+veneer+sheets&_sacat=4713&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=4713&_dmd=2&_odkw=bass+guitar
  15. Any sound clips of this yet??? Or has @Jus Lukin locked himself away and got lost in all the permutations?
  16. I can highly recommend a SimS pick up system - gives you the benefit of P/J/H combinations or solo'd if you only want one. I think that @Andyjr1515 is planning on using one of the 5ers on his latest build for @Matt P.
