Hi @TedM all the details you need are in this thread. Sorry to hear you’ve been a victim too. I hope the Police do something but you’ve done all you can for now.

Leicester area code - phone down

That and ask if they’ll chat over the phone. That always sorts the men from the boys.

Yes, they probably nicked it!

I think everyone should go back and write a line about each instrument 🎸 @AndyTravis you can have an extension of one month

Many couriers exclude musical instruments from insurance cover in the small print (but still let you buy it) The main reason I have promoted Eurosender here is that, despite a few issues here and there (as you’ll find with ANY courier or booking service) is that they specifically cover instruments with a third party insurer, as long as the instrument is in a hard case. https://www.eurosender.com/en/terms-conditions ERGO insurance is the company providing the cover. Still, you only find out how good that is when something bad happens - but insurance always feels like that. I’d never ship an instrument without proper cover.

Would you like Scott’s address? 😂

Yes they all look like Bongos now 😉

Thanks folks let’s keep the banter off this thread so we can keep it useful 👍🏼

Hi mate yes apparently so, although I haven’t tried personally. I’m sure it would be more than close enough. The scale length and different electronics are more likely to offer a slightly different vibe but in the same ballpark. I had a passive OLP with graphite neck that was absolutely killer and the electronics in that were as basic as they come.

Yeah it’s a bit random and I know some Moses necks have been problematic but if it’s a good one it could be quite cool!

It’s fair to say I’ve played this more than anything else recently! I’ll let you know if I see any good ones. What model and colour ore you after mostly? There’s an interesting used one at Bass Direct with a Moses neck which might be worth trying!

Hers is an ‘86 I believe. Not sure if it will be a slab body or not. I think she has a white ‘classic’ model now too.

That looks great. I really like the black crackle finish to, and have the same on my SB1. A very flexible bass - you could also look at the K-mod which allows single coil modes. I'm eyeing up an '83 L1000 at the moment but really shouldn't! I saw this one on Classic & Cool and was really tempted myself.

That's great! Also worth a look is the NUX Mighty Plug

Gotta see that L2000!

The recipe has changed a few times over the years; I’m sure there’s one out there for you somewhere! I also think they magnify differences in strings somewhat, so that can add another factor to get the sound and feel you want. What did you find lacking?

Thanks I’ll have a look when she gets restrung. Also need to do this with my Celinder as there’s no serial on it anywhere else! Better get the screwdrivers out 🪛

Maybe cut the mods some slack?

You can set up your own activity feed and select the forums you want to include in your search. For example all new posts since last visit, every forum except off topic. When you select the filters choose ‘topics’ (that’s that they call forums for some reason) and choose there. I’ll show you tomorrow if you can’t work it out.

My Vigier cost me £500 back in the day and I’ll never sell it. Think I’ve had it for 15 years now 👍🏼

Sofa’s mine!
