The New Rutles

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

Vintage & Rare in Denmark Street

[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?

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

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

Bought a DB pickup from Harry. All good! Cheers mate

should work with any barrel jack as long as you specify the size (eg neutrik locking barrels are larger in diameter and need the bigger plastic loop whereas a standard Switchcraft type barrel needs the smaller loop) Bassace uses Underwood pickups and nmakes his own equivalent to the Lando clamp. See here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/204392-jack-socket-attachment-to-db-tailpiece/page__p__2124394__hl__clamp__fromsearch__1#entry2124394"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/204392-jack-socket-attachment-to-db-tailpiece/page__p__2124394__hl__clamp__fromsearch__1#entry2124394[/url]

Let them know its for a Shadow as they do two different sized plastic loops, depending on jack barrel type. Incidentally they actually do a neat mod for a Shadow (if you look on their website) and put a proper Switchcraft jack on.

this? [url="http://www.kontrabass-atelier.de/pickups_e.html#clamp"]http://www.kontrabass-atelier.de/pickups_e.html#clamp[/url] Or BC'er Roger (username bassace) makes a neat version with a wingnut and plastic clamp for not very much moolah

I believe Lee Rocker has used Jargar Dolce/light steels in the past. They are Danish made strings that are very dark and thumpy (not much sustain) and are pretty low tension. [url="http://www.jargar-strings.com/"]http://www.jargar-strings.com/[/url]

Bert bought my Alembic Brown Bass. Thoroughly nice chap and a bloody sight better bass player than me - much better suited to an Alembic than my Fender-and-flats toting self! Enjoy that beauty, Bert!

£20 for unlimited adverts is bl**dy cheap compared to the c.10% fees on eBay/Paypal and gets you a specialist bass audience, many of whom have really helpful feedback threads to help with the trust side of things - and if its a low value item (less than £50) it costs you nothing to advertise Up to you
