Mr Bassman

Daf, Do you have a demo Ehrlund you could pass round? There are a few of us up North that might be tempted if we could have a trial. ;-)

Don't knock the bass sound, try and play like that!

Great horns, did you hear that sax solo about half an hour ago?

Takes me back a few years when I played a lot of these songs on my 75 jazz which I bought new and still own.

Forgot to mention that Clarky made a donation to the Dog's Trust charity Very kind and generous

Another packet just arrived from Clarksville All good as always

I've just fitted a Full Circle and used one of Rogers custom clips. It was a doddle to fit and is really solid. Anyone looking for an improved tailpiece jack socket mount should check these out. Many thanks Roger

Kolstein Heritage Great for arco & pizz

Innovation Honey D All blue at tailpiece G = red at peg box D = yellow at peg box A = black at peg box E = green at peg box

Here are before & after pics of an old spiro Weich that was ready for the bin It's now ready for action again

I think there's an odd Honey + some old Kolstein Heritage in my spares box that I can experiment with when I get the time. Watch this space!

I've yet to try the heat shrink on synthetic core strings. Wonder how they'll react to the heat gun?

I removed the damaged outer windings, the inner core is too thin for the 2.5mm heat shrink I got. I'll go back and get some 1.5mm tomorrow Anyway I've just put some 2.5mm over the damaged length of a Weich D, see photos I've just fitted the string to my Clifton bass and it seems fine.

Here are a couple of old spiros that I'm going to try the heat shrink on

Here is an old spiro that I rewound the silk on

Some brands of strings suffer more than others from fraying silks when taken on and off our basses. Last year I devised a method of rewinding synthetic silk onto some used spiros. It was quite successful but a bit fiddly. Just wondered if anyone had tried using heat shrink? I might pop down to Maplin and buy some to experiment with anyway. Cheers all

Here we go again Just received some strings from Clarky express delivery Always a pleasure

[quote name='Subfeeder' timestamp='1371483126' post='2114401'] Also, I have tried using the aux in on the GK MB200 and couldn't get enough volume out of that [/quote] Sorry I missed that in your O.P. Clarky's micro might be the answer Good luck with your search

Maybe it's the cab I've had great results with the MB200 + Epifani UL110, either 1 or 2 for both Fender and uprights with various pickups Just have to roll off some bass & low mid If you're using an external preamp you could run it through the aux in and bypass the gk eq
