  1. You can now join Lee's Clubhouse. Either $10 a month for a general pass or $75 for a VIP one where you get a 10 minute slot per month to talk to Lee 121. https://flatfiv.co/pages/lees-clubhouse
  2. Might be worth changing The Eurosender Info as on 3 occasions I have used them, entering the 'Basschat10' discount code resulted in less than 5% discount.
  3. Weird, I got this in a notiication from ebay as I check Telecaster Basses. The thumbprint photo is still the silver 51p but the link shows a Red P as you say.
  4. Don't know if I'd pay £2500 for it mind...... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283928962047?ul_noapp=true
  5. 5000 euros for a fretless and fretted bass together. I'd get one but I don't think it would fit my bass stand.....shame.
  6. I'd team up the blue trainer with the checked golf jumper for your comeback gig, that will get the punters going...!
  7. Could have been worse, there could have been a Gretsch Bass inside...!
  8. Relisted and sold for £200, bit less than the £1000 being asked for it originally.
  9. Just go for the standard delivery. I've just gone on Eurosender, put in UK to UK, length 129 cm, width 19cm and height 50 , weight 10 -20 kg and its come in at 15 euros, add the insurance if you wish another 12-15. I've sent 2 basses via Eurosender in the last month to UK addresses for less than £30 each insured for £1000. One took 2 days, the other arrived the next day after collection, both by DPD. Oh and there's the Basschat discount which takes around a £1 off the price too. Both my Basses were in hard cases too. They load the next day delivery price hence your high quote!
  10. Last time I used Eurosender when I added the discount code on a £28 invoice it gave me something like 96p discount.
  11. It's more than a bump: for the £50 off I'd pay the extra.
  12. I had a distorted sound from a Bass in a particular room, turned out to be a drawer front vibrating. Have you checked it occurs in different rooms?
  13. I had an Ibanez Artcore 5 stringer which was 32" and on Flats the low B was pretty poor, on rounds a little bit better.
  14. If you think we are bad in the UK, what about the USA? 'The Little House on the Prairie' - I rest my (hard) case....
  15. Can't be that much wrong with the wiring? Collect only mind. from Gravesend https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Squier-Jaguar-Bass-Wiring-Issues/254621131780?hash=item3b489a2404:g:j~sAAOSwmIJe37Q6
  16. We've just had a very similar carpet fitted last week and i don't think I'd allow those mucky pliers on it!
  17. Around 2012 I bought a NOS Warwick Pro Series Indo 5 String Star Bass in Gold ( I did debate between that and the Pelham Blue one) but traded it after I joined an Americana Band and got an Ibanez Artcore 5er in 2016. Always missed the Warwick tone and the Artcore had a very woolly B (32" scale). After a clear out a couple of weeks ago, I bought a 4 String Pro Series Indo Star Bass in Flamed Maple Burst and am very happy.
  18. Is the Guy Pratt bass reliced? The control plate looks worn on the backside.
  19. Weasel words? The previous owner has put on a Fender transfer. Please be aware this is not a made in America Fender."
  20. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-classic-vibe-Jaguar-active-bass-Special-Edition-Modified-Vintage-series/124217422034?hash=item1cebef70d2:g:lbgAAOSwv2le33Qx
  21. Just got the latest Jason Isbell recording 'Reunions'. Also got into Margo Price with 'Midwest Farmers Daughter' and 'All American Made'. Country with a conscience and both with some back story!.
  22. You may find the string tension does mitigate against them 'wobbling around' at the nut. If you think about it, the nut is quite a long distance from where you pluck the strings and the bridge ( which as we know is fixed) is likely to have more impact by holding them in place? As said above, try it and see!
  23. Speak to the shop you bought it from or even Ampeg?
