  1. [Url]http://s38.photobucket.com/albums/e136/Bigwan2062/Italia strap[/url] Brand new, unused Italia leather strap. 4" wide, 42" - 54" long. Really rich chocolate brown with medium brown (more tan really) backing. Beautiful straps. £25 posted within uk.
  2. Will do Graham. Hope the Dingwall is still floating your boat mate!
  3. Bump again. Is nothing selling these days?! Starting to think about keeping this...
  4. Not funny when you have to explain it...
  5. Kit without enclosure now gone. Can sell the other one without an enclosure if preferred. Note these kits include all the components required to build a functioning, true bypass tubescreamer pedal except a battery, knobs and (depending on your requirements) an enclosure.
  6. If money's no object: http://www.detempleguitars.com/temp/CATALOG_ITEMS/DeTemple_P55_over.php Nice video of Lee Sklar playing one on DeTemple's youtube channel. Sounds awesome!
  7. Hi guys, recently bought 2 pedalparts tubescreamer kits with the intention of modifying them into xotic rc boost and bb preamp pedals. As misfortune would have it, Poodle has now released kits for these and, as I haven't time to scratch myself these days, I'd probably be best building those rather than faffing around modding these. One kit comes with a 3 hole mxr sized enclosure, the other without an enclosure. £24 plus postage for kit with enclosure SOLD £16 plus postage for kit without enclosure. SOLD That's a tenner or more off new prices. Also have a few undrilled pedal enclosures that I could add to either kit. Hammond 1590B/BB equivalents by Eddystone (that's the standard mxr and larger mxr sizes for reference). £3 for a small one, £5 for a large one when included with either kit. Larger enclosure would be handy if you fancied modding the kit to make a fulltone bassdrive clone for example (although further components would be required). Kits are sold as they arrived from pedalparts. Build instructions are not included but can be downloaded from pedalparts website (http://pedalparts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/ToobScreamer.pdf). I offer no technical assistance whatsoever I'm afraid!
  8. Guesstimate was a little off - 10 1/2 pounds using the highly scientific "weigh yourself with and without bass" method. Honestly thought it was lighter - hooray for Italia 4" wide leather straps!
  9. I'll weigh it tonight. I'd guesstimate it's about 9 1/2 pounds but I'll confirm.
  10. Recently acquired Lakland Skyline 55-64 in sunburst with mint guard for sale/trade. Excellent 35" scale 5 string p bass. Weight is 10 1/2 pounds. Bought from Drew at Manchester bass lounge a month ago (excellent chap he is too - highly recommended), but I've since acquired a 55-02 deluxe in trade which will cover all my 5 string needs. I'd like to get hold of a 57/62 spec p bass instead of a 5 string which is the only reason this is going. Sounds like a p bass should with a very nice action - I took a punt on this having major reservations that the Indonesian Skylines could keep up with the Korean ones which I've owned before, but both these Skylines are the newer manufactured ones and they're both excellent (the p bass has the edge on setup, but the 55-02 has it for flexibility). Condition is very good, with 2 scores on the body which would most likely polish out (difficult to photograph -one on lower body edge, one on back just beside string ferrules), and an impression in the headstock tip of the metal seam of the case it was shipped in. Hadn't actually noticed this before and it would bother me so i've dropped the price a little and I'll include postage to compensate. £500 plus postage with a very well used generic hard case. Will trade for a Roadworn 50's p bass in sunburst, but will consider other maple necked P basses. Also after a sansamp vt bass.

  11. Soak overnight in meths. Works a treat. Used to boil them, but meths is better.
  12. If you can find a box for shipping it I'd be very interested...
  13. Further price drop. Now £500 plus postage.
  14. [quote name='41.2Hz' timestamp='1380118878' post='2221078'] [i]I'm collecting a s/h Barefaced Compact on Saturday (cheers Mace!!) - can't wait to try it out with the Terror...[/i] [/quote] Supposed to be an epic combination that!
  15. Hadn't given that much thought really! Same price as other aftermarket necks I suppose. 150 to 200 I think.
  16. Can anyone suggest where I could find an aftermarket precision neck with a 1 3/4" nut width, 7 1/4" radius, 60s profile? Apparently my left hand likes the extra 1/8" muchly!
  17. Tech Soundsystems 4*12. A religious experience! Alas too much for my needs now. Thinking of a fearful 12/6 or Barefaced big baby (possibly a tks 1126) to replace the Tech. Should cover all my future needs!
  18. +1 on the Squire CV series. Personally my best sub £200 buys have been an SQ series Squire for a ton, which I stupidly sold, and an Ibanez ATK700 (£130 I think), which I sold to a work colleague who wanted to learn to play. Although they were both a little knocked about (well worn in the Squier's case and just downright abused in the Ibanez's) they were perfectly serviceable instruments, either of which could have been my main bass with a little tlc.
  19. Awesome pedal. Not playing enough to warrant it though...

    NBD!?!

    If it's that good why modify it?
