  1. Cracking bass, and I don' like P basses.
  2. Welcome to Baschat Johnny
  3. Treat yourself to an ACG, plenty of styles to choose from.
  4. GHS Super Steels but may be in a larger gauge (.44, .63, .84, .106). Have a look at this link: http://www.shortscalebass.co.uk/short-scale-string-choice/
  5. Have a look at this one? [url="http://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk/manufacturer/product.asp?item=spider-electric-guitar-gig-bag-4843-6632"]http://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk/manufacturer/product.asp?item=spider-electric-guitar-gig-bag-4843-6632[/url]
  6. I have them on a short scale bass and find the tension and feel better than others I have tried. Sound really suits the bass which is a ACG Skelf short scale, should mean something if a luthier is supplying them as standard.
  7. The reason I asked the short scale question is that Scott Whitley's SWB-1 is only 7lbs in weight has passive or active options and would be well under your target price. Plays better than many basses costing twice the price.
  8. Hi Steve, Any particular reason for not wanting to go short scale?
  9. Hi Tim try sorbothane feet available for various weights using 4 feet per unit. Foculpods are popular but you can get alternatives on evilbay. An alternative would be sobohane sheet.
  10. Nice work Andy, this build is a true Beauty and the Beast build.
  11. Hi Mike, On the bathroom scales it weighs 8.8lbs. BR Alan

  13. My 30.5" short scale came in a Fusion Funksion guitar bag by the looks of it. I would think the crucial dimension is going to be the width and Fusion usefully give you the detail on this at the upper and lower bouts of the bag on their website details
  14. Could you tell me what the internal height from the bottom of the bag to the underside of the larger tray support wedge is Jenny.
  15. Voted Yes 51-60 as past experiences lugging equipment upstairs really called for lighter gear. Not found a problem with tone but run through a DHA VT1 into the GB Shuttle 3.0-8T, which will be hooked up to a 12" lightish cab when required. May get a Barefaced in the future.
  16. Have a look at Scott Whitley's short scale bass site he has a few guitar specific cases: [url="http://www.shortscalebass.co.uk/shop/"]www.shortscalebass.co.uk/shop/[/url]

    NIce one, always thought about getting one of these - maybe one day.
  18. Had a bass recently delivered in a Fusion Fuksion and was well impressed with the quality of the gig bag. 2 large pockets on the front.
  19. Purchased a Skelf 4 Short Scale from Alan. Very helpful and responsive during the question and answer process and the delivery was excellent once I had decided what mods I wanted. Thanks Alan.
  20. As stated earlier try one of the DHA pedals first or go for a passive bass. Where are you based?
  21. I did also have a Korean made NS94 neck through some years ago which was/is a superb bass with plenty of sustain fitted with SD pickups. Still regret letting it go but I needed a passive bass at the time.
  22. I have the older 5 string Legend with bolted neck. They are excellent guitars although I am thinking of selling mine soon as I just don't use it.
  23. I bet it radiates a lovely tone.....
  24. It may seem strange but have you considered using headphones to practice through, finding a level that does not trigger the tinnitus? I have permanent tinnitus and find that listening to music can help relieve the symptom. Also having this symptom continually means that the brain does sometimes filter out the whistling - a skill not possible manually.
  25. Skiffle anyone. Lonnie Donegan would be proud.
