    Incidentally, I had a broken black nylon Pyramid G and I emailed them (as in Pyramid, not Thomann) about it. They sent me one gratis because it was defective. However, you might be able to buy a single E from them if you were concerned that my one is on the dull, thumpy side Either way, if you want my set they are yours in exchange for free gig entry!

    If its Thomann, you can cancel

    I bought this Shadow twin-wing (Underwood-alike) pickup from BC'er Harry a week or two back but it doesn't fit the very narrow bridge wing slots on my Kolstein travel bass and - given the Kolstein has a special downsized bridge - I am reluctant to sand the wing slots wider. Hence I am putting it straight back up for sale. Needless to say I didn't actually use it and Harry had used it very little so its in vgc £65 posted, exactly what I paid Specs here: [url="http://www.contrabass.co.uk/sh_950_pickup.htm"]http://www.contrabas..._950_pickup.htm[/url] Stock pic: [attachment=156605:777px-Przetwornik_do_kontrabasu_SH-950_firmy_Shadow.jpg]

    I have a lightly used set of Pyramids with a very dull, thuddy E (often the case with these strings). Happy to lob them your way at the gig in Laaaaandan for a guest list ticket

    How about lobbing in this lovely cream 70's Dimarzio pickup along with the refin (Fiesta red, cream-coloured oly white?) for serious warm thump? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-1970s-CREAM-DIMARZIO-PAF-PRECISION-BASS-PICKUPS-/231162396653

    We could bash out an alt-folk version of Nutrocker if you wanted? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op2U-qGUDkg

    I find it slightly disturbing, Rev, that your 50's DB is called Jayne, that being my wife's name (with the unusual letter 'y' in the middle)!

    Nice looking beastie. The bridge is cut very oddly and should have a rounded sweep where the strings cross. For a good luthier check this thread http://basschat.co.uk/topic/204959-db-luthiers-thread/ Fraid I don't recognise those strings. Maybe some kind of Innovation given the end multi-coloured silks? Someone round here will know (ubassman)?

    Might make my double bass a bit more portable too

    Unless you can prove the pub gave that very note to you, they could reasonably deny all knowledge and counter that you were trying to pass it off on them. Sadly, I think you've been done Jack. At least you're Happy

    [size=4]They added some basses to the new arrivals page only 3 days ago, so I guess its just a problem with the telephone line. Try emailing, they generally respond in a few hours in my experience[/size]

    Hoping to get along to this, as I believe is Nige/xilldx. Any other BC'ers fancy hooking up?

  21. Clarky
    ROCK! Nice colour Sean. IIRC older Ricks are recommended to use TI Flats (they being best tension wise for the idiosyncratic necks and truss rods - I got this from the * hushed voice * [i]Rick forum[/i] * oops I said it)

    Early 80's 62 reissue in seafoam green - never seen one in this colour before. Looks mint (groan). Seriously beautiful but surely at least £500 (if not £1000) over-priced? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1986-Fender-Jazz-Bass-Seafoam-Green-62-Reissue-Stack-Knob-/400659847515?pt=Gitarren&hash=item5d4930195b

    You will not find a lighter better made passive Precision, Dougal
  24. Clarky
    Its the same bass and seller

    Loved them back in the day, esp their debut album Affectionate Punch. My very first band (1979-82) used to cover A matter of gender. Such a tragedy that Billy Mackenzie committed suicide
