Glad to hear you're sorted wish I had read this thread earlier, have a few big old heads I'm looking to move. The Ashdown will be fantastic I've no doubt. If for any reason it does not do it for you, hit me up.

Thanks @itu, I have sent a message offering to buy the pedal. One step at a time for this old chap. -
OK. So I've just finished reading the Future Compact thread. First of all I have to take my hat off to @GisserD - amazing work. However I also feel like a time traveller from the middle ages. 3D printing??? No clue what that might mean. Printing bring 2D by its very nature. Even ignoring this, the prospect of buying a pedal for £200 then a different box (made by some kind of sorcery) ripping the guts out of the pedal and hoping to get it all back together again in a box with less space to work in and with my dubious skillset is terryfying. I haven't even bought the pedal and I just broke out into a cold sweat!

I didn't know that I loved Elites until I asked what was on a bass I'd bought. Loved the strings so much I had to know. Stadium Elites. The flats they make are amazing too.
-
Thanks man, thought I was going bonkers. 1982 Aria Pro 2, Chickenbacker and one of my Harley B's can't stand flats of any brand! Go figure!

I have discovered this week that you should not buy expensive strings that you see either second hand or new at an unbeatable discount. What happens if you like them? They feel great, sound amazing? Hmm? You will now be unable to cheerfully string your bass collection with those amazing cheap ebay specials you normally buy. Why? Because you just gave yourself a taste for something you cannot afford. Face. Palm.
-
I think what I'm trying to get at is, I know and like the strings but on 2 or 3 of my basses I instantly don't like them. It's weird.
-
I have no idea what this means!! Sorry 🤓

SOLD - Squier roadworn P bass - £125 (can post)
stewblack replied to hooky_lowdown's topic in Basses For Sale
Anyone looking and thinking this can't be any good at that price point, think again. These are excellent instruments, bought one recently and it's superb. I am struggling not to get this one too; not only do I not need another P-bass, I'm supposed to be selling not buying at the moment. Good luck with your sale Hooky -
Thinking this total lock down might be a good time to play with something like this 🤔

Ever put a set of strings on a bass and just thought, ooh no, the moment you pick it up? Even when you know and like the strings in question? Seems to me some basses like strings that others don't.

I give you, my Frida Kahlo......

Uh huh

I love a gold bass with matching headstock. I like the shape of this bass. I have always believed that tort is the only pickguard which goes with anything and always looks better than any other colour or design. I have changed my mind! There is something jarring about the gold /tort combination.

Thanks guys.

What do you guys think? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313042749461

I had a J&d 5er back when they were still Jack & Danny. It was fine. The HB strings are just their standard 45s
-
I have a set of Harley Bentons coming with an order sometime soon. Too cheap not to at least try. Have to say though the strings I've tried from the Bass Centre have been exceptionally good. Stadium Elites and Detroit Flats. If money was no object I'd have them on all my basses.

Ha ha! No I used to be really into a photography lecturer at the college I worked at. Got into taking pictures (but that was all I got into) and was in a group on Flickr which specialised in ludicrous self portraits. This is merely one of the less silly ones.

People here all seem confident this is a fake, so it must be possible to tell
-
No i don't watch television I'm afraid. I did find someone after the exact opposite and thought maybe we could trade, but they rightly pointed out that they wanted to keep the original neck in case they wanted to sell in the future. I've found a squier on ebay, but I have no idea how to tell if it's kosher or not
-
Tell me how I know if a neck is what it says it is? I'd rather get a cheap bass and have the neck off it than get ripped off for a maybe Fender.

I may have a cunning plan. ...

It's a minefield!!!!
