    Jaco used a Hipshot D Tuner?

    I'm down to 2 x 5 stringers and actually have now 4 x 4 stringers, although a thinning of the herd will hopefully take place at the SW Bash......plus I'm not sure how the Mods would be about a name change?

    After an 8 hour drive to Newcastle and 2 hours back to Yorkshire on Sunday and a 6 hour journey back home to Somerset yesterday, I now have the following in my arsenal: Just need to find a key for the case...oh it's a 2003 CIJ. Big thanks to the Monkseaton Mikes who helped.

    I've just had an email from a Nigerian gentleman who would happily send your money.....

    Don't Mark Audio have a new lightweight system.....?
  6. yorks5stringer
    I'll happily send you a headstock- sized piece of Maple Veneer to form the filler (when sanded).

    Why don't you tell us what you really think rather than always sitting on the fence....?

    I always email them and ask what the little 'D' is in the photo. (Never had a reply!) As I've said before, one seller uses Thomann's own photos of non decos in his ads which is taking the proverbial.

    I have just had a NBD (more to follow tomorrow) and the case had obviously been locked and the key lost as the catches have been forced. Although the case is a standard pattern black tolex case with stitching and the white piping, it has 'Made in England' on the hinges and Cheney round button brass locks. Any ideas how I can ID a key as Cheney made around 10..? Just looked at my other old case and it is identical with Cheney locks too. Shame I don't have a key for that either. I'll post a photo tomorrow because someone else may have the same case and can tell me what No key...

    What the * is this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Telecaster-Bass-Guitar/152940026911?hash=item239bef9c1f:g:nLoAAOSwaDZapEsA

    $1695.....

    On a more serious note, I hope all this enthusiasm about the Markbass PA system at the SW Bash does not impede us mere Bassists who want to see and hear the new Bass Amplification from them...? It will be warmer by the time of the Bash and I'll be in Spring sox....

    I was so disappointed.. took ages to come and when I sent it back, ages for the refund too.

    I have some old tights I could donate....
  15. yorks5stringer
    That was used in the making of Whisky in the Jar and Ernie....

    Got to my Thursday Night Open Mic late and found someone in my slot. Cheap to buy strings for , but not my cup of tea.....
  17. yorks5stringer
    I've looked at these online and they seem great basses. Anyone tried one out?
  18. yorks5stringer
    Ta, it's Lake Placid Blue in case you were not aware!
  19. yorks5stringer
    great minds!
  20. yorks5stringer
    Here's another, they're like buses: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bass-guitar/222866610684?hash=item33e3e299fc:g:jtoAAOSwFYZam~-L Even got a mock pink paisley pattern...little over budget at £280 mind..

    I used silicone grease on the screws when replacing the Tuners. This has leached into the wood and when trying to re-shoot a poly coat over the new decal and tint, it gets repelled. So waiting for some Maple veneer to place over it having stain -stopped the headstock underneath.
  22. yorks5stringer
    They may be more likely to import them if a header calling them 'Rubbish' from a prominent bass site is modified....!
  23. yorks5stringer
    I'm loving my modded HB too ( when I finally get the headstock sorted!). Tempted by the new Red ones later this month....
  24. yorks5stringer
    That could be my old one although mine had the status/hiscox case. Think I sold it for £400 many moons ago.
  25. yorks5stringer
    My experience may be atypical but I got one of the 5 string versions and it was very poorly finished, with scratches on the bridge, bad lacquer on the neck and a dodgy earth, so sent it back for refund.
