  1. [quote name='bertbass' timestamp='1342220110' post='1732121'] They're the same a Schallers and they're easy to convert. Once you've taken one apart you see what I mean. Pain in the bum having to do it though. If we stopped being wrong handed then we'd be the same as every one else and not special anymore. [/quote] I wish I was special, but regrettably I'm right handed. I've been looking for leftie keys because I'm spec'ing for a P bass build with a reverse headstock. I want the whole thing to be super light, and the Gotoh's tick that box, are in nickel not chrome and look super cool. Anyway, following on from this email I sent Mojotone the other day... [quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1342133846' post='1730362'] [size=4][font=arial, sans-serif]'It's just that the Gotoh website says the GBR640's are for a right hand neck only. If I purchase these from you would you be able to send them to me already set-up for a left hand neck, thus avoiding any non-return issues?'[/font][/size] [/quote] I received a reply saying they could convert the tuners for me, but with a $25 (£16) up-charge. I think that this will be a good idea. It's a fiddle and I know I could do it myself, but if they do it they'd be under warranty should anything go wrong. I'm in a knark tho, I missed a set of these going on BC the other day for £25.. and I was first to reply to the post!
  2. If you bought this, and this 'Lodger' turns up, or indeed sees the sale on ebay, he could legally get his property back from the buyer
  3. Wow, Lovely. Please accept £3000 of pretend internet money and pop her in the post to me soon as! Good luck with the sale
  4. It's a great song, and one in view of your post I shall re-visit. Always liked Kate Bush. Inventive, took risks, left field, but popular whilst still maintaining integrity. And, apparently, would never let Peter Gabriel get on the nest.
  5. [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1342289999' post='1732929'] Funds are tight? New baby? You sure you're not me? I bought a Hartke Bass Attack DI/Preamp. I use it for practising at home with headphones (through a mixer) but I can also use it to go straight to a PA. There are lots of similar solutions---Sansamp BDDI, Behringer BDI21, DHA vt1-eq-bass-drive, etc. If I were you I'd keep the WEM and get one of them. [/quote] [quote name='andydye' timestamp='1342300968' post='1733115'] This...more or less... [/quote] And more this. I've got a DHA VT1 EQ Bass Driver, It's the canines nads. Cost me £70/SH off a fellow BC'er, if that's too much, I believe Sansamps' go a bit cheaper and I played through one once and it was v powerful
  6. I was considering taking her off your hands, this is a seriously nice bass. Regrettably motorcycle accidents have weakened my left shoulder, and I think a 10lb+ bass would be too much (I think my TBird is 8.3, which is good for me). Good price too, I can't see her hanging about for that long
  7. Boo! Can't make it, working out of town. Hope you have it large and all that!
  8. [quote name='paul j h' timestamp='1340382590' post='1703873'] Hi, Can i have this book at sometime in the future. Cheers Paul. [/quote] All done here. PM me your address and I'll pop it in post
  9. Wow! Nice bit of flame going on in the neck there. She looks a proper corker. Please let us have a review and more pics when she arrives
  10. [size=4]Got this email from Mojotone today.. [font=arial, sans-serif]'The key post can be moved to the opposite side BUT it is a delicate operation that involves removing a spring clip and inserts.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]Please verify the dimension on the site with your bass as far as fit. [/font] [font=arial, sans-serif](Not to be uptight but please know that if the key posts are switched we can't take them back if they don't fit correctly.)'[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]Seems a bit inconclusive and buyer beware to me.[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]I responded with..[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]'It's just that the Gotoh website says the GBR640's are for a right hand neck only. If I purchase these from you would you be able to send them to me already set-up for a left hand neck, thus avoiding any non-return issues?'[/font] [font=arial, sans-serif]I await their reply[/font][/size]
  11. [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1342122235' post='1730095'] sounded slightly "honky" in the mix. [/quote] You can't say 'Honky'. It's, erm,, valveist.
  12. Great! My fave was 6, and then 5. Hiwatt, eh? Who'd have thought it. Am I correct in thinking you have a Miwatt? Did you prefer 6?. Nice if they'd had a Matamp in there (vanity, just to hope that I'd favour my own amp!)
  13. I think this looks pretty cool. I like the tele head and stumpy tuners. I didn't think the pics were as bad as you made out. Just needs the frets sprucing up a bit, I'm sure someone here could recommend someone to do that, and you'd have a tidy rarity.
  14. You can tell this is a wind up.. The BC Conference would never be held anywhere as fashionable as Grimsby
  15. Hi, Anyone know if Gotoh GBR640 Resolite tuners can be altered to fit a lefty neck? This lot say yes.. [url="http://www.mojotone.com/guitar-parts/Tuning-Machines/Gotoh-Res-O-Lite-GBR640-Reverse-Wind-4-In-Line-Vintage-Style-Bass-Machine-Head-Set-Nickel-4"]http://www.mojotone.com/guitar-parts/Tuning-Machines/Gotoh-Res-O-Lite-GBR640-Reverse-Wind-4-In-Line-Vintage-Style-Bass-Machine-Head-Set-Nickel-4[/url] But AllpartsUK say no. Anyone have the definitive answer? Thanks

  17. [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1341742452' post='1723326'] Will do, Deb, and lots of photos as always. And Si [b]isn't[/b] a girl, by the way [/quote] I'm not so sure.. He's got a pink guitar
  18. [quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1341774732' post='1723962'] And I'll let you have those photos we took after the gig asap, Sean [/quote] Ah, yes the secret, intimate post gig shots. I'll PM you with my naughty email addy
  19. Ha ha! I don't care what bus I'm on as long as it reaches Slough before the Shahi closes!
  20. I'm still on the blinking bus! I'm not doing this trip in a hurry again, I tells you
  21. One or two! I'm sure they'll show up soon.
