  1. Mods, can I ask where you prefer to have bug/problem reports raised ? My first thought was "right here" and obviously many people think the same. It does get a bit hard to track whether anyone has answered though (particularly because of the volume of well-deserved congratulation) and so I started to log problems in [url="http://basschat.co.uk/forum/34-site-issues/"]Site issues[/url]. That seems to make a lot of sense to me. Make sense to everyone else ? Andy
  2. If I go to 'My Content' the ordering seems to be a bit erratic. Within the first page, it seems to be ordered by most recently updated, which is good, what I'd expect. However if you go to the second page, you find topics much more recent than the last topic on the first page. Same for third page etc. I've also found the same problem on 'Content I Follow' This is a bug surely ? Any chance of a fix ? Andy
  3. Hi, Great looking new site Some of the moved/changed features are causing me some head scratching at the moment, but I'm sure I'll find my way round before too long. I have a problem though. If I searched the old forum for "55-94" (which I did, frequently), then I got posts that matched "55-94". However the new forum thinks I'm searching for "5594" and returns those results. That's a bit of a bummer ... it's only going to work if everyone who posts a 55-94 for sale also incudes "5594" somewhere in the text. Is there any chance of fixing this ? I'm vaguely hopeful that admins have access to a configuration option somewhere, possibly in a text file, that changes this behaviour. Cheers, Andy
  4. I've hit a problem with search. I'm on the lookout for fretless 5's so this post is of interest: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/117527-gb-spitfire-fretless-5-the-angel/"]http://basschat.co.u...ss-5-the-angel/[/url] However if I search for "fretless" or "Fretless" in advanced seach (in "basses for sale", with titles only) then this topic doesn't show up in the results. Any ideas ?
  5. [quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1295463098' post='1095491'] I have an urge to get close to the traditional MM and P bass tones from something that looks much more modern. [/quote] I'd be very interested to see that when finished Andy

  7. [quote name='guildbass' post='1318646' date='Jul 27 2011, 08:34 PM']ps...My Guild 302 is going well on Evilbay... looks like they are starting to appreciate...Which is nice as I have to pay for the Warwick somehow![/quote] Is that the one that just finished ? That was exciting Had a a hankering for one of those but I confess I wouldn't have gone to anywhere near that price Andy
  8. [quote name='markbass555' post='1312613' date='Jul 22 2011, 12:26 PM']Heres my LOG 10th anniversary special edition. Which I was selling but have now decided to keep for the time being.[/quote] Nice I dream of one of those with an added MM pickup
  9. [quote name='BigBeatNut' post='1204728' date='Apr 19 2011, 01:29 PM']Oh no, I wish I hadn't see that ... now it might be necessary for me to order one of those in black, and five-string. Anyone know the string spacing at the bridge on the fives ? Andy[/quote] Researching this one again and answering my own question ... seems standard string spacing on warwick 5's is 16.5mm ... or if you're lucky enough to be ordering a model where they do custom options, 20mm. [url="http://www.warwick.de/modules/custom_shop/options.php?TYP=WOOD_NECK&submenuID=14620&katID=21443"]Warwick necks[/url] Why, warwick, why ? Why not something sensible like 18-19 mm ? Or do the 16.5 bridges have lateral adjustment that lets you space out to (say) 18mm ? Failing that ... looks like I'm back to looking for a Washburn AB95 Andy
  10. [quote name='BottomEndian' post='1310065' date='Jul 20 2011, 10:45 AM']YUM YUM. Stealth fretless![/quote] Yeah ... wish it had been unlined. Planning to try out Status black nylon tapewounds at some point to get more 'stealth'
  11. Can't believe I haven't added mine here. My favourite fretlesses: Lakie 55-02 Status S1 Rob Allen Deep 5 (more pics [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=31111&hl="]HERE[/url]) BSX Allegro ... Andy
  12. [quote name='EssentialTension' post='1281706' date='Jun 25 2011, 12:14 AM']And did you, and were they the correct ones?[/quote] Haven't ordered them yet .... no longer have that bass (Lakland HB) and so my obsession with reproducing that sound has abated somewhat. May just order some of those as an experiment for another bass though. Andy
  13. [quote name='Gwilym' post='1252128' date='May 31 2011, 10:16 PM']i seem to remember the original FS by Pierre mentioned that this bass came from the Gallery in London originally?[/quote] If that's true, I've played it too. Very, very nice to play. Only wish I could afford it. Andy
  14. [quote name='markstuk' post='1248410' date='May 28 2011, 04:40 PM']He mentions Bartolinis in the OP..[/quote] So he did ... my bad. Looking forward to pics. Andy
  15. [quote name='BassKS' post='1233010' date='May 16 2011, 01:29 PM']Call the Deluxe Sold[/quote] D**n. Too slow.
  16. I might also be interested in a trade for a Sansamp deluxe VT Bass or deluxe bass driver.
  17. See [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=124688"]newer thread[/url].
  18. A PM5 is definitely on my GAS list, and that's a great price ... but the relic finish is making me pause ... How much relicing has been done to the neck ? Do you think the relicing could be undone with just a body refin ? Or is the body too physically marked for that ? How would you class the the sound of the P pickup ? For instance, where on the scale of vintage -> modern would you put it ? Does it sound warm ? aggressive ? Fat ? Deep ? Thumpy ? Punchy ? Andy
  19. Interested in a trade for this ? [topic="124688"]Line6 Mm4 Modulation Modeller[/topic] . Cash adjustment negotiable. Andy
  20. [quote name='pluckedout' post='1207921' date='Apr 22 2011, 09:09 AM']If you ever want to sell that S1 unlined fretless 5....[/quote] No, sorry that one is staying ... I have a Status Eclipse Ltd 5 (fretted) that will probably move on at some stage, but the S1 fretless is one of my favourites, Andy
  21. That's very classy. Then I would say that as I have an S1, unlined fretless, 5er . Is that fingerboard really phenolic ? I thought phenolic was always black. (Just idle curiosity I'm afraid ... like you, I think, I pretty much stuck on 5ers). Andy
  22. [quote name='Schnozzalee' post='1204757' date='Apr 19 2011, 01:41 PM']This without the frets and flatwounds would be my ideal bass.[/quote] The Korean one is available in fretless, but the fingerboard wood is 'tigerstripe ebony' or something. To me that won't go with the gloss finishes they offer, I'd have sooner had plain ebony. Actually consider getting a fretted one and de-fretting it. Andy
