I'm Selling a black padded double bass gig bag which I have no use for and would rather let go than throw away. If you're looking for a cheap but useable gig bag and are prepared to collect from me you're welcome to it for £25. No box or manual ^_^ Collection only from Birmingham (B67 5BG or Wallasey (CH44 1EL) Steve

Lovely, thanks. Lovely, thanks.

Any idea what the adjuster thread size is? Am buying a full circle pickup which has 1/4" UNC-20 threads. Steve

Good stuff PedalB, looking forward to trying them. I'm hoping to experiment with a Fishman Full Circle pickup too (currently using a Realist and want to compare the sounds.) A bass I played some gigs on before Christmas had a full circle pickup into an Acoustic Image combo and it sounded nice, warm and punchy.

Thanks Blamelouis! I got rid of the Moon simply to buy a Lakland US Joe Osborn that was offered to me for a fantastically low price and has more of a vintage jazz sound and look. As soon as I can afford to I'll be looking for another Moon though. Amazing basses!

Innovation Honeys ordered, can't wait to try them!

Cheers Keith!

Thanks for that, great info! I emailed Dave Swift recently who was very helpful with information on his bass. My parents live in Skipton so it might be possible to pop over to the Bass Bash and combine it with a visit to family. I'll let you know if I do!

Anyone else?

I've been interested in the SLB200 for a while and have enjoyed listening to Chris Minh Doky play his. I haven't yet tried one in the flesh. How does it work for you? Have you been happy with it? Steve

[quote name='TPJ' post='758388' date='Feb 26 2010, 05:03 PM']I run Honey's as well playing modern music, bluegrass and 30's hot club jazz. Half of what I do is acoustic and they have been great for the last 2-3 years. I thought about replacing them with Evah Priazzi but if it aint broke.... Definitely worth a punt.[/quote] I'm pretty sure my friend Charles Humphrey of the American bluegrass band 'Steep Canyon Rangers' uses Evah Pirazzis and they feel and sound great. Thanks for all the comment chaps. I think for the money they're bound to be worth a punt.

Hi, Does anyone have experience of using Innovation Honeys? I'm using Spirocores on my bass right now, always have done, but am after something a bit more organic, perhaps softer and more traditional sounding. I've also seen them pretty cheap (£69!) at the following site: [url="http://www.stringmail.co.uk/dbass6.htm"]http://www.stringmail.co.uk/dbass6.htm[/url] Style-wise I play acoustic singer/songwriter, some jazz and bluegrass. I don't play with a bow but will be getting into that in the near future. I'd value your opinions. Steve

Thanks Slap. I wouldn't ever do any practical work myself because I'm a complete spanner with anything practical. I'm sure it's better just to spend money on a more suitable bass.

Thanks, it wasn't working before.

Sounds good. Would like to see pics!

Shiny and too orange! I'd like something a darker colour.

You might be right Geoff.

Oh bugger. Only two minute drive from my house...
