    FTFY.

    The Bass Bros website filters still don't work (I have reported that to them), while the Bass Direct website has functioning filters (including a fretted/fretless which BB lacks). I can't understand why anybody would find the Bass Direct website hard to use. The only issue with BD is that after the first search, all the items shown will only click through to the item itself if you click on the item title, not the item picture.

    I shall have to get an inlay saying "HERE BE DRAGONS" on the 26th fret of my Thumb, and somewhere close to the 30th unfret on my Ibanez SRF705.

    Some time back in the 1980s, I owned a Fender P. I replaced the pickup with Di Marzios because that was the thing to do back then, but TBH never noticed any great change in the sound. The original pickup went into a drawer and stayed there for around 40 years, quietly maturing. It's about time I did something with it, so it's off to the marketplace. The two components have date stamps from different years, so I suspect that before I got the P it had one replaced. They both have the same resistance and they seemed fine when they were in the bass. This is something that I'm perfectly happy to post at no extra cost.

    You'll want to put the orifice for the input sockets on the cab below where the head would come to, in anticipation of future developments.

    Surely you'll just 3D print a sleeve for it and screw it to the back?

    Ibanez did this quite a few years ago with the original Promethean, and the GR Bass Cube combos are the same idea. You'd need to stretch the side panels back a bit to accommodate the Elf and leave the rear panel reasonably exposed for the mains and speaker leads.

    The blend control just made it quieter, so cab it is. I've got the materials in, just need to start making sawdust which means I need a spell of good weather.

    I thought it was excellent. It would be hard to match the original, but it was a good shot at it. And the drummer was excellent, technically good and with a great ear for the music.

    I wanted to make sure it was them and not me before doing that.

    That's the "special" part of "special discount".

    I was just having a little look at the Bass Bros website and the filters seem to have stopped working. Tried with Chrome and Firefox, and then on my phone with the Adblock browser (descended from Chrome). Oddly, on my phone the list of filters included a line saying "New filterCondition" which looks distinctly wrong. Is anyone else finding this? Did have a look at the page source but it's pretty unpleasant and I haven't done HTML or Javascript properly for a few years.

    Price definitely has the decimal point two places to the right, and that's only if the strap is included. It's when you come to the second from last photo that the full horror is unleashed.

    28% buyer's premium, then if you're in the UK or EU there's shipping costs, duty, and VAT to add, at least doubling the hammer price. So the main portion of the cake is going to the auction house and the exchequers of the various other countries.

    Two frets too few?

    Who can forget that time when they helped a log that was in trouble?

    That's what I do, albeit with poncey brass shims. They have handy locating holes, so I put them on the end screws.

    Exactly so. Make a shorter neck with the same number of frets, extend the neck pocket a little to accommodate the extra frets, move the pickups a little bit (possibly just the neck pickup), leave all the other gubbins where it is. Reduces production costs and makes for a better balanced bass.

    It's a pickup configuration that I want to use for a home build that I'm very very slowly putting together.

    What idiot would put up a video which mostly consists of shoving a piece of wood around behind the 3D object in question? <looks on YouTube and checks poster's name> Oh.

    I got a cheapie off Ebay, similar to https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284697979139 (same tablet as you). A couple of others at an open mic I go to have the same one. Works well, though I've found that to keep the tablet pointing up at the sort of angle you'd have a music stand at, you need to grip the tablet across the bottom. Maybe I should try using the holder lengthwise instead of widthwise <makes note to do that when I've got the tablet holder out of the car>.

    That tends to be an attribute of HB basses in general.
  24. tauzero
    Lovely! Is that a standard model with the P/MM pickups?

    I was wondering about a Godin A5, then at an open mic night I encountered somebody with one and had a feel of it. Far too chunky a neck for my liking. How does the GB-notreally5-4 neck compare to the A4, @Frank Blank?
