I used to string-through when I was using rounds and if I'm honest, I don't think I could hear any difference in sound, and definitely no difference in feel. To me, stringing through the body seems more secure than stringing from the bridge, and if I can do so with flats without any issues, then I probably will.

I've been using Ernie Ball Cobalt Flatwound Super Slinky 45-100 strings for a few years now and love the slightly brighter tone and feel of them. I string them from the bridge but was wondering if anyone uses them strung through the body, and if so, have you had any issues? I've read that stringing them through the body can cause problems, especially where it bends over the saddle and in some cases causing the string to break, or they go dull or dead much quicker.

Just bought a lovely bass from Jeff, great communication and a highly recommended BC'er. 👍🙂

I've had this problem in the past finding someone's feedback, and some members end up having two or three feedbacks due to people starting new threads because they've not been able to find the original feedback. Could we have a link in our avatar? When we buy or sell something via the marketplace, we nearly always communicate by sending messages to each other, and when you hover over the person's avatar in the messages, it shows links to Message, Ignore User, and Find Content, if a Feedback link was also added, (if its technically possible of course), it would make leaving feedback a lot easier. Something like this.

When recording covers of popular songs, I use Karaoke Version, if you choose the "Custom Backing Track" option, every instrument can be downloaded individually and easily inserted into your DAW as a track. https://www.karaoke-version.co.uk/custombackingtrack/ Edit: Btw, each custom song costs £1.99 and you can download each full song or individual instrument parts as many times as you like, for example, I often download the full song without the bass track, or I sometimes leave the guitar parts out as well if I'm capable of playing them myself.

To be fair, it played and sounded great, I think it was definitely one of the better Les Paul copies around at the time, but £899? I don't think so! 🤔 I've found an old photo taken in the late 70's of the guitar, and no, I wasn't in a Bay City Roller tribute band, I was dressed up like this for a fancy dress party. 😏

25" scale? I didn't realise they were that short!

This!

Reading this thread reminded me of the Shaftsbury Les Paul copy I purchased second-hand in the 70’s, I paid £50 for it at the time. About ten years ago I donated it to a local charity shop, the following morning it was in the window for £80 and when I looked later that day, it was sold, I was pleased at the time because I didn’t want it any more, and the charity shop made a some money from it. But then I started googling Shaftsbury guitars and I came across this, whether it sold for £899 I will never know, but maybe I should have held on to it a bit longer. 🤔 What makes it worse is the fact that the guitar pictured looks very much like the one I had, the reason I say that is because when I bought it, the jack socket wasn't the original, it was a homemade oblong silver one, exactly like the one in the picture, the rest of the hardware was gold.

I've just joined the Lakland club with this lovely USA Bob Glaub PJ that I purchased from Azumi a couple of day's ago. It sounds and plays great, it has a jazz neck which is my preference, so I'm absolutely delighted with it. I'm thinking of changing the guard to a tort one but can't see a way of removing the control knobs, there are no screws in the holes that I can see, I've tried various allen keys without success, the holes look like they have an internal thread which is weird, does anyone know how to remove them? Edit: I've now found the correct hex key.

Just purchased a bass from Latif, everything went through smoothly, well packaged, and great communication. Highly recommended and trustworthy BC'er.

Not received it yet but I've purchased it from a well respected BC'er so I'm sure it will be nice, and most of the reviews I've read have said this model is about as good as P basses can get. When I receive it, I will give an update.

I've just bought this lovely Lakland USA Bob Glaub PJ that has a Jazz neck. 😊 I suppose I could still get the Skyline version as a backup with all the money I've saved by not being able to go to the pub? 😉

Anyone own, or have tried these basses? I would be very interested to know your thoughts on them because it could just be what I'm looking for, a precision bass sound/body, and a Jazz nut width.

What is the board radius on these basses? it's not specified on the official SX website.

It's definitely his call, but could it be a genuine case of mis-typing £9000.00 instead of £1900.00 and just didn't notice his mistake at the time, and then just copied and pasted his second listing, again not checking his listing properly? Or am I being too generous in giving him the benefit of the doubt? 🤔

How much did he have it up for in October?

Phew! that's a relief 🙂

I know translators aren't great so its fingers and everything else crossed that it is understandable to the seller. Here's what I wrote, how does it look to you? 😉 Salut Thomas Seriez-vous prêt à expédier au Royaume-Uni?

Many thanks for the offer Hellzero, but I have just translated the page using the Google translate extension, I've managed to send a message to the seller so I'm hoping that I might get an answer, if not, I will get back to you for some help if that's ok with you. Cheers Brian

Is there anyone on here who are members of this French bass forum? The reason I ask is because I have seen a bass for sale on it and I want to buy it, but not being able to speak French, I don't know how to contact the seller.

Were these available in the UK when they were released in 2016? I've been searching online for one without any success. I would like to treat myself to one of these, so if anyone could point me in the direction of any suppliers who might have one, I would appreciate it very much.

Ed purchased a pedal from me and the transaction could not have been smoother, great communication all the way through. Highly recommended and trustworthy BC'er.

I have just sold my acoustic guitar to Lee and I could not have wished for an easier transaction. Great communication and a pleasure to deal with. A friendly and trustworthy BassChatter. 👍🙂
