[quote name='BassManKev' post='186680' date='Apr 27 2008, 07:28 PM']very subtle [/quote] There's nothing to say it's got to be stuff you've found on ebay, folk are welcome to put their own auctions on here if they want. The purpose of this section is for bass-related stuff on the 'bay, regardless of the seller. Also, someone got a fecking bargain there. I'm sure I saw it earlier on and there was no BIN.

Are you keeping the headstock shape? IMO it'd look pretty cool if you straightened it off, but at an angle, so it was like this: /, as opposed to this: l Does that make sense?

None of these are flats are they?

Weddings been and gone, and good times were had by all! Gonna bump these up one last time before I stick em on evilbay, any interested parties? Also rohan, saw your post, I dont think I could pull off red ones, sorry.

I think it looks cool, I wouldn't mind one. The stacked knobs would look better in chrome IMO. Maybe some kind of scratchplate too.

Another listing recently was pulled for saying cash was OK for payment, apparently it encourages people to send cash through the post. You can still put 'cash on collection' as an option though.

[quote name='Final Loan' post='185148' date='Apr 25 2008, 10:34 AM']Yeah, I've seen. But he originally put a buy it now of £400 and this time he said he wanted £500 to end the auction early. You can buy 'em brand new for £400! Oooh! Not a full scale neck but you've got my attention. Do you recall what colour it was? (yes, I am that shallow...) I'm in Sheffield, by the way.[/quote] I do recall, it was a rather pretty sunburst. I'm not very good with my different types of sunburst, but I'd say it was more 'vintage' as opposed to a Fender style. If I remember correctly it was more brown towards the edge than black.

I've had a Boss TU-2 for about a year now, it's brilliant. I used to use a little Korg Chromatic tuner and it was good, but when my band was first gigging (before the Boss) I always found I was slightly out of tune, and had to try and tune myself back in to the rest of the band. Turns out I must've bumped one of the buttons on my tuner and it was at 444Hz instead of 440Hz, so I was always slightly sharp :blush:

I was looking for a forum on bass fishing, and accidentally typed basschat.co.uk instead of basschat.com.

Where abouts in the country are you? If you can get to Glasgow easily (not counting on it) there's a very nice DeArmond bass in the dreaded 'Guitar Store', a place for thieving gypos to flog on their stolen goods quickly with no questions asked. Er, allegedly. It was £250, a Starfire I think but I may be (read: probably am) wrong. I'll try and find out what it was. Edit: Checked the website, it's definitely a Starfire. Didn't get a shot on it but it sure was pretty, and that's the most important thing about semis, right?

[quote name='BassManKev' post='183474' date='Apr 23 2008, 08:23 AM']any particular brand of lemon oil recommended?[/quote] Dunlop seems to be standard in most guitar stores. Can't say how good it is though, but I'm tempted to get the 1oz. bottle to try it out, it's about a quid off ebay and my Precision neck needs a bloody good clean.

Is he trying to say that the the bass has less sustain than the bass would have had with the stock bridge? New chunky bridge + thru body stringing = increased sustain, so is the guy claiming that this 4mm block has counteracted all of that? Or is he saying that it sustains less than it should do? Either way, the block would decrease sustain, it means there's less space for the neck and the body to make contact and resonate against each other.

[quote name='paul, the' post='183764' date='Apr 23 2008, 01:14 PM']'2 years' I've recently retired my boots. I think they're older than me. And I could always have them re-soled. Converse at a wedding sounds awesome. I hope it's been ok'd, though. Women can get funny about this sort of thing, I understand.[/quote] Yep, OK'd by my girlfriend's mum. It's my girlfriend's cousin who's getting married, don't think she's too bothered, but had to check with the girlfriend's mum because she is funny about stuff like that. I wanted classic 'black canvas, white rubber' ones but the weren't deemed appropriate, so these all black ones are the compromise. Thing is I don't like them that much, and probably wont wear them again, so I thought I'd see if anyone wanted a trade.

[quote name='MB1' post='183855' date='Apr 23 2008, 02:51 PM']MB1. WTF are Embrace?[/quote] Am I the only one that knows about [url="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=66126768"]this[/url] Embrace? They came first, and are immeasurably better (in my opinion of course, before the deluge of angry British Embrace fans start getting antsy)

Bump this one back up - Anyone fancy a swap? Would sell them if anyone wants?

[quote name='neepheid' post='182458' date='Apr 22 2008, 01:08 AM']As far as I'm aware, Epiphone only do it in cherry red or black (ebony).[/quote] Poo Cherry red it'll (eventually) be. How much was the Hipshot? If the stock bridge is as bad as you say it'll probably be the first thing I do to it.

Best bass porn so far! I've been gassing for one of these for ages, my girlfriends has even given the green light, it's just a case of mustering together £200 to buy one, which to be fair is a bargain price for a cracking bass. Is cherry red the only colour? I fancy a worn brown one, I know Gibson do one in that finish. Very nice Neepheid, very nice.

[quote name='jake_tenfloors' post='181688' date='Apr 21 2008, 12:01 PM']I think the best thing for you to do is take your head to your local music store and try it with all the cabs they have and see what you like.[/quote] +1. A 2X10 might balance out the muddiness of the EB-3s neck humbucker though. I use a 4X10 because it balances out my bassy bass and head pretty well.
