If it's any help, I ordered two sets on 24 Sep and they arrived 10 Oct, which was much quicker than the last set I ordered. Suspect it depends on how many orders they receive at any one time.

Saw this a couple of months ago, found in a farmhouse or some other unlikely story. Had scam written all over it.

They should just 'screw' back in. Release the tensioner sleeve first.

They were very big in Belgium when I lived there in the 80's. Saw them at the Manhattan, Leuven, and they had such energy live. Peter was playing a Kubicki Factor which sounded glorious and have wanted one ever since. Great voice too.

Another vote here for the Wolfcraft. Had mine for about 6 years and still going strong. I think there was a previous thread on this very subject a few years ago.

I have used the WD-40 contact cleaner for a little while. Does the job nicely.

Customized strap from Pinegrove leather?

Are they full width inlays on the 78 that I see? Thought they stopped those in the transition from 72/73.

Sad news. A great bass player and one of my favourite bands.

Bought a gig bag from Owen. Good price and good communication throughout transaction. Item well packed and quick delivery. Fab.
