  1. [quote name='Lowender' timestamp='1378498404' post='2201291'] Don't tell her, she'll probably never notice. If she asks; "Is this new?" Look at her incredulously (but don't over do it) and just say "no, I've had that one for years." [/quote]interesting, the missus has used exactly that line with me with regard to shoes and handbags
  2. I'm near Hammersmith, work nr Liverpool Street
  3. Yep, easier on the hands as less pressure when plucking. Downside is looser strings mean slightly higher action
  4. Bump from sunny Copenhagen!
  5. These strings are the most highly recommended on TalkBass for Baby Bass electric upright basses. So I would guess they work well for most EUBs. Very low tension but with the trademark Spirocore growl. I just preferred the Jargar soft strings that were already on the bass which I have used for a couple of years gigging on and off (I sold the bass in between times then bought it back!)
  6. I think there's one lady that sends out the strings and it can be haphazard. I have had them two days after ordering and another set a week after ordering
  7. On hold, pending a viewing next weekend
  8. Couple of sercet's pics (again, I hope its OK?) [attachment=142880:TLB1.jpg][attachment=142881:TLB2.jpg]
  9. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1378060134' post='2195326'] If that`s the one I played Clarky, agree wholeheartedly, a great bass and easily the best Precision I`ve ever played. [/quote] Hey Lozz it is indeed the very same bass
  10. Ah Jas, are you sure? This bass is [u]you[/u], the Lull isn't, Can't you give the Lull a bit more time to sell, after all everyone's counting cost of summer hols etc right now. FWIW, I have owned this bass, bought it from Jas and then he bought it back (I only sold the Pino as I bought a year-of-birth '63). This Pino is the equal-nicest Precision I have ever played (it matched my YOB in every way)
  11. For raffle, I will chuck in a Behringer BEQ-700 (graphic equaliser pedal http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BEQ700.aspx) which I bought yesterday and discovered its not what I need - so its basically brand new. Probably got some bass tuition books sitting around I could chuck in too, let me have a delve
  12. Another fretted Fender J, think this was the one pcitured on the inner sleeve of live Word of Mouth album [attachment=142686:img225.jpg]
  13. To be fair, Jaco did play fretted basses too. And he did bolt a maple Precision neck on to the 'bass of doom' body for that instructional video when he was badly on the slide (mentally). Mind you it was maple, not rosewood ... [attachment=142684:51Byw1mHjML.jpg]
  14. You could always paint white edges on it and be Lee Rocker (dodgy suits optional) [attachment=142634:183_photo_image-one_large_1.jpg]
  15. Been a while bump. See trade options ^^^^
  16. Bumperoony £650 collected without gigbag £700 posted with gigbag* * subject to me getting hold of a bass sized box
  17. Nope. I have shifted to using a MarkBass Mini CMD121P combo which, though not as clean at lower volumes, works well at stage volumes .... Err and my acoustic guitarist has "borrowed" my Ten2 for all our recent gigs as it sounds brilliant for acoustic guitar
  18. I have a Ten2 also. I find it sounds excellent at low/mid volumes (the most natural of any amp I've tried) but agree it struggles a little at higher volumes, especially when I'm pitted against drummer on a small stage. I would guess that it would be difficult to beat for jazz whereas in my '57 varieties' pop/blues/country/folk/flamenco outfit its arguably not pokey enough
  19. Beedster and Clarky in non-trade shocker, the sequel
  20. [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1377547959' post='2188787'] can't think of a compelling reason not to use regular roundwound strings really. [/quote]chewing up the fretboard, for one
  21. link - enter online shop and go to strings section http://www.status-graphite.com/status/frames/index_home.html
  22. Status half-wounds are great and cheap at £17 a set (+ post)
