[quote name='Happy Jack' post='122688' date='Jan 18 2008, 09:59 AM']I'd recommend getting the genuine Comfort Strapp. Trouble is, the only place in London that ever seems to have them is the Bass Gallery.[/quote] I got mine from Mike the Bass Merchant via mail order.

Whereabouts are you, Rayman ? It might be fun to compare the Levin with my passive MM3. I'd have to say that there's no sign of the quality control problems with the nut or the bridge on mine.

Bought some 'second-hand' mikes from Pete. Everything was in as-new condition, including little plastic bags and ties. All expertly packaged up and promptly dispatched. Excellent deal and an excellent bloke to deal with. Much appreciated, Pete.

[quote name='dood' post='122853' date='Jan 18 2008, 01:47 PM']Not sure what body mine is actually, but if you buy a 70's P from Ishi, the necks are so close to a J its barely noticeable. (I have a CIJ P and a CIJ J neck)[/quote] +1. Mine appears to be a PB70-93US judging by the picture on the Ishibashi site, but the nut width is 38mm, standard Jazz width. Mine was second-hand via Far East Guitars though, so it is possible that they've changed the spec - the Ishibashi site lists it as 40mm which his kinda half way between P and J

It seems to me that you should consider taking this guy to the small claims court in order to get your money back.

[quote name='Machines' post='120003' date='Jan 14 2008, 11:41 AM']"Los Angeles, USA, United Kingdom" Well I live by Hollywood (Birmingham) but I don't know of a Los Angeles in the UK .[/quote] There's a 'California' in Ipswich, and also one in Woodbridge. Shouldn't someone be reporting these scumbags to Ebay or something?

Over the last week or so, I've been getting a few strange 'No Redirect' messages instead of a page. This might be part of the same problem. I'm using Firefox on OpenSolaris. Not sure where this is coming from, maybe from my ISP, Plusnet .

[quote name='owen' post='108315' date='Dec 22 2007, 08:12 PM']It's for church. High volume is not really an issue [/quote] Tie-clip microphones from Jessops. About 20 quid each. Should do nicely.

[quote name='Happy Jack' post='107183' date='Dec 20 2007, 04:26 PM']I've never actually seen a 330, so I can't tell you if it was lined.[/quote] I have one, and it isn't. Just a few dots up the side.

OK you Omni 10 users, Have any of you tried using a pair of these cabs to handle PA? It looks as though I'm going to need to acquire some PA gear in the near future, and I'd rather have something that I could also use for a bass rig.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='104661' date='Dec 15 2007, 02:33 PM']Hopefully I should have a very tight, clean and powerful sounding set up on stage. I've decided that the Trace V8 isn't powerful to drive the Acmes in a way they need so I'm going to try and replace them with one of these: An EBS 212 neo, I'm going to be on the look out for a 210 neo to match and maybe I can take the RB700 head out of my combo if I need to use it with the cabs.[/quote] An excellent choice. I've gone one and it works really well with the Burman. No it's not for sale ;-) Have you tried using a Burman to drive each of the Acme cabs and slaving one off the other? Best, Pete

Just bought a Dunlop brick from Higgie. Very smooth transaction, goods in excellent condition and well packaged. Recommended.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='99701' date='Dec 5 2007, 04:40 PM'][b]If a member has something to sell I'd EXPECT them to flag it up for sale both on the eBay and for sale section![/b][/quote] So would I, although there are plenty of people who would disagree with us because they don't like the idea of using the For Sale forum to advertise Ebay links. My understanding is that your proposal would prevent the posting of links to auction items in the Ebay forum, which would stop BCers from advertising their auctions. Is that what you are seeking to achieve? In which case, what would be an acceptable use for the forum? I'd be very sorry to see bassassin's entertaining and erudite threads disappear as a result, for example. And as Beedster points out, many of the dealers who this forum was set up to prevent picking up bargain BIN items are now registered on the forum and should presumably be included in your notion of a BC community.

[quote name='Weird War' post='99547' date='Dec 5 2007, 01:31 PM']Why don't we put this to the vote?[/quote] Simple majority? The forum has approx 1900 members, so that's roughly 950 votes in favour required. That's not gonna work. I think we went down the path of 'how many votes is enough' on Bassworld, without coming up with a useful answer.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='99301' date='Dec 4 2007, 11:50 PM']'IF' one of my (our) fellow BCers was selling the item then surely the more coverage and higher bids the better... So that's not particularly well thought through![/quote] The point , not very well made, was that some BC might be very happy to have an item he was selling highlighted in this forum, and your proposal would prevent it. [quote]You may not agree with my point of view as is your prerogative. Highlight all the links you like; all I'm trying to point out is, it may well hack you off if you happen to come across an item of particular interest to you, that you're hoping to bag at a bargain price, when a 'fellow BCer' points it out to all and sundry thereby ruining any chance of you getting a bargain![/quote] File under 'sh*t happens'. I suspect that in reality there are very few 'bargains' that go un-noticed . [quote]I'm simply playing Devil's Advocate as nothing so far highlighted on this section of the forum has ever pertained to anything that I am watching but I am aware of others that have been less fortunate... let's hope it never happens to you.[/quote] I don't think I have either. I also don't think I've posted anything in here which has prevented someone getting a bargain. If the mods start to block that kind of posts, they're only going to crop up elsewhere on the forum, where people who are not registered will be able to find them with search engines.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='99118' date='Dec 4 2007, 08:08 PM']As it has been pointed out most regular eBayers hang fire till the end but my point still stands... are you doing any fellow BCers any good by highlighting an auction style listing?[/quote] Maybe one of your 'fellow BCers' , whatever that means, is selling the item? I don't agree with your point of view, and reserve the right to highlight what I think are interesting listings.

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='98694' date='Dec 4 2007, 11:41 AM']Albino Cubana are an nine piece Latin/World Music band with Vocals (x2), guitar/tres, keyboards, bass, drums, percussion, trumpet and trombone - very dance orientated but funky as f*** and the horns are a delight. I DARE YOU TO SIT STILL!!![/quote] Sounds good. I'll be there if I can get a pass-out. Maybe I'm not the only person in Suffolk with a columbian Tiple after all!

[quote name='beerdragon' post='97282' date='Dec 1 2007, 05:05 PM']Kent the garden of England.[/quote] Don't get carried away, Beerdragon. He might be from Maidstone.

[quote name='Jase' post='98631' date='Dec 4 2007, 09:55 AM']... I'd rather rely on a drummer who has good natural timing,[/quote] Uh-oh.

[quote name='fretmeister' post='98027' date='Dec 3 2007, 11:49 AM']Cool. I could do with a 5 - thought I'd start cheap and cheerful but with plenty of upgrade options.[/quote] You have a PM

[quote name='fretmeister' post='97970' date='Dec 3 2007, 10:02 AM']Anyone know if a Status neck will fit on the 5 string? ta[/quote] I think it will, because there used to be someone on Bassworld who had one with a Status graphite neck. Can't remember who it was though. There's also a rewiring mod to get rid of the 2 volume controls - do a search in the 'Repairs and Technical' forum. I never got around to modding mine yet. There's also a Nordstrand pickup available for these basses.
