  1. Couple of deals recently with Paul. He bought some La Bella LTF strings off me and I bought a rather gorgeous P bass off him. All was excellent!
  2. Maybe PM the guy, Karl. He hasn't been on BC in over a month and a PM might go through to his emails?
  3. My OCD has a major problem with the siting of your amp not being equidistant from each side of the cab
  4. £500 price drop, so moving closer to sensible territory (though not there yet) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154825170035?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110018%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.COMPLISTINGS%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20200818142838%26meid%3D1e1cb62d64f54d32b4f41ae338d2b1d1%26pid%3D101197%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D165313415946%26itm%3D154825170035%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DOrganicCompBase%26brand%3DRickenbacker&_trksid=p2047675.c101197.m1850
  5. Intrigued by this, I checked out their Wiki page. Turns out they represented Germany in Eurovision and came in joint last place, albeit against strong competition from winners ABBA. A good read https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cindy_%26_Bert
  6. The (sort of) attempted wrapped gut-like D and G strings of the RS4000 set, as played by Herbie Flowers on Walk on the Wild Side etc. Nylon wound on nylon, very low tension and - depending on your bass - may need to be double wound around tailpiece so that the silks don't encroach on the bridge (I had to for my old German 3/4). Stringsdirect sells for £92 for the pair, how about £42 posted in UK? Been on my bass for only a few hours, home only playing time.
  7. Ribs and right forearm. Who mentioned wrist?
  8. My new Rick 4003S (arrived a week or so back) and wouldn't accept a jack cable. I thought about returning it but it would have been a major pain as there was no replacement in stock. After @Old Horse Murphy kindly showed me (with photos of the innards of his 4003S) how to tweak the retaining spring, I adjusted it and within seconds it was sorted.
  9. Actually really enjoying it! Played it this evening and the neck, weight and body contouring all suit me better than the 4003 it replaced
  10. Here's one in black for 1/34th of the price https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154819293634
  11. Update: Basses: -2 (bought 1, sold 3) Pedals: 0 (bought 1, sold 1)
  12. I accidentally ordered one set too many of La Bella LTFs for Fender P. Most retailers have them for about £50, if they have them in stock at all (those in stock include Amazon £55, Andertons £56 etc) £40 posted in UK. Decent saving for a completely new, unopened set of strings! Will post pic later but it looks like a new unopened packet!!!
  13. Dunc bought back the Shergold he had previously sold to me, having missed his mojo'd old friend (the bass, not me). All was excellent!
  14. So far. Basses: -1 (bought 1, sold 2) Pedals: 0 (bought 1, sold 1) FTW
  15. @karlfer just posted the inaugural FS ad
  16. I would have much preferred to sell my 4003 last month on BC but was forced into using eBay. While it did eventually sell to a nice guy, I got some absurd offers and a request to meet somewhere unspecified and get payment in cash (yeah right ... )
  17. The original poster hasn't been on Basschat for nearly a year. Try using the private messaging function and maybe it will send him an email alert?
