    Two banjoes (down from 3) 4 mandolins 2 bouzoukis and a fiddle here. All gigged regularly until recently, when I went onto Accordion instead.

    Ry Cooder used a Model 177 on his latest album.

    My birthplace, the Whitstable and Tankerton Maternity Hospital.

    You might get more responses if you asked the question in the EUB and 'Double Basses' forum. I have a Spirocore Weich D which was on my 3/4, it is 70 inches total length and 56 inches from the ball to the beginning of the silk at the peghead end.

    I have a spare old one, if you want one to match the tarnished look of the other 3! PM me your address if you want it.

    Blartfactor10 you are a genius. I've just made up a set of these and it works perfectly. I found with a sharp modelling/craft knife I could just stick the tape onto the foam and cut the outline through the foam and the masking tape at the same time. Stops the tape sticking to itself and me 🙂.

    I had one just like this, except that it had a black bridge and not gold, just like the one in the catalogue picture. I traded it to @Skezza , not sure if he still has it. At the time we had no idea what the model was, so thanks for posting the picture and good luck with the sale.

    I would say based on the translucent finish and gold hardware that it's an SB325. 5 strings are normally JJ. Well done.

    Sorry, that should have said "above it's weight". I'd have been tempted myself, but I already have a BB800 and need to be downsizing the collection.

    Carlsberg don't do bass guitar adverts. But if they did ... Anyone wondering how it should be done, this is the way.

    My estimate wasn't that far out then ! Great result, like every other Yamaha it'll punch about it's weight. In the For Sale forums in 6 weeks time 😀

    I'm not normally one for Jazz basses, but that's a beauty. Have a free bump on me.

    Yamaha Attitude Plus M, but not the Billy Sheehan version. Not sure about the value - £100 - £150?

    Yamaha THR10 works pretty well with bass as well a guitar - worth a try to see if it suits you.

    My ancient EA cabs have a pull-out handle on the bottom which achieves a similar effect.

    I had the 4x12 and it was 27kgs so I think 25 will be on the heavy side. Bathroom scales?

    Think they're all guitar. Martin Simpson has one from 1958, a thing of rare beauty. At the start of this clip. Later on, he even uses the word 'heft' without trace of embarrassment!

    I had a Tech Soundsystems 4x12 cab, best sounding cab I've ever owned and only 27kg. Just a little bit to awkward for me to pick up and move through doorways.

    My 3/4 used to fit in the back of my Audi A6 Avant, entirely behind the passenger seats without the headstock poking between the seats.

    Not sure how much extra string length the through-body stringing adds. My Duesenberg short-scale needs medium-scale strings, but it has a tailpiece. I'm using Status half-rounds at the moment, which really seem to suit the instrument.

    Maybe you should have a chat with @wateroftyne about the various Handbox offerings? Mark Bass TTE501 / 801 might also be worth a look.

    Cycle shops are a good source for heavy-duty cardboard.
  23. pete.young
    It's so you can play the guitar and bass parts to Peaches at the same time. Bill Bailey has an entire routine about this.
  24. pete.young
    Proper mojo , that.

    If that's a 1st Gen Midget, it's a 1x12 . Not a 1x10.
