      @SpondonBassed, I think @Andyjr1515 is busy at the moment - he was the skill behind the Silk Bass. Would be a nice project for somebody when he has time.

      I am (not very successfully mind) trying to downsize.

      If you are worried about having too many basses I have a solution.  Buy it for me to turn into a useable hack (an haxe, if you will) and I'll keep it here until you need it 've paid for all the expensive hardware and labour I cram into it...?

      Heeheehee.

      Gumtree is such a crappy sales site: I seached around for the item location and eventually spotted it in the window title.

      Plus, the search facility is pretty useless.

    Many of you will have seen the Hohner Shorty guitar I bought with a plan to convert it to a bass. Fortunately, the BC family has members with existing experience of this instrument and I have been advised (Thanks @lemmywinks ) that some examples have issues with the fretboard positioning. Does anybody have the correct measurements for a 21" fretboard or know where I can obtain these? Thanks peeps.

    I'm a renowned TE fan, but not so much of the Elf. Personally if I were going to go down the modular route I would have gone down the Quilter route - the BB800 head and the 2x10 450w Cab. The only person who has/does own this rig is @BCH who, as we know, is an absolute gent. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/434698-quilter-bassliner-2x10-450w-cover-price-cut-£400/ https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/439039-sold-quilter-bass-block-800/ I'd be having a long conversation with Bernard before diving in...

    £160??? Seems "Not much" for a 500w Ashdown. I have the 180w version in my living room which I use for practicing. Great tone... Remember that, if it were ever to go wrong, Ashdown will repair their gear for free...that's right...nothing, zip, neesh....that's what you call "Great customer service". GLWTS
