  1. The guys at Eurosender just told me: So I'll update the banner to reflect that.
  2. Hi Basschatters Just a quick favour - IF YOU HAVE USED OUR SUPPORT (via a support request or via PM, Email) then I'd really appreciate a review on Trustpilot. As you hopefully know, I always respond to support requests as quickly as possible, often when out and about, once from the top of a glacier in Iceland, and try my best to solve every problem. If you have been on the receiving end of a Basschat support message, maybe you had an issue with a payment, a card was declined, your renewal didn't;t go through, whatever it was - then please type something up on the BC TrustPilot page. I THINK you need to create an account on the site to leave a review but you can sign in with Google or FB if you want to do it quickly. Many thanks
  3. Here's your old one (just searched for Gremlinandy in the feedback forum) https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/12816-gremlinandy/?tab=comments#comment-133497 I'll merge the new one into the old one for you now. Cheers
  4. Labella 760fx 39-96 Pliable, smooth and sound lovely. With a super low action you can get a lovely bit of clank when you dig in.
  5. That’s me 😂 I used to have one of those switchable Bassmute.eu devices which was great but it went with the bass when I sold it. I’d quite like another but not sure they’re still being made and tbh I quite like the DIY approach. Does your design alter the intonation at all? I find foam under the strings does slightly, but probably not enough to worry about.
  6. Looks great! I slide foam under my strings and like that method because I can stop before the G string and leave it unmuted for accents. I guess you could do it with this type by moving the block up a string.
  7. I think originally it’s so all the strings can be packed in the same envelope so you can distinguish between which is which, maybe if you’re width blind
  8. Barts and DG(?) has it been modified?
  9. Well... at least we can’t see the headstock!
  10. Nah I'm keeping it I think. Leo told me that he didn't like the LB1000, especially green ones
  11. I'd also like to come as long as Leo's later works aren't barred!
  12. Always been fine for me as long as you work out the price and are happy with it, and of course you insure the thing. And don’t mind waiting a while. IME it’ll get to the UK in about 2 days then sit in Coventry for a couple of weeks but if the bass is worth it, it’s fine.
  13. Possibly, but then we'd just hear lots of annoyed DPD customers.
  14. Well you all know mine! Here's a pic from 2005; I think I got it in 2004 but it was before I was on Facebook and before I had a camera phone so there aren't any pictures I can find. When it first came to me it didn't have the pickup surround which I added a few weeks after getting the bass. It was made for me by a BC member in Australia who sent it over super quickly. What a legend. As you can see it has already some customised elements as the bass was originally found as an empty shell with a P pickup installed across the centre gap(!) The Basstec pickups and Marleaux 3 band pre were added to give the bass it's proper sound. Fast forward a few years (2008 ish) and I started experimenting with hard drugs and Roland V-bass equipment. I installed the pickup 'brain' on the back of the instrument which worked fine but was a bit ugly. However I was poor and electrically challenged so I left it like this for years, I think up until about 2012 when I bravely took a chisel and went about an internal install of the kit (which in all honesty took about a year to arrive from Roland) After all that it didn't;t work 100% properly (although I'm still proud that it worked at all) so the Guitar Gallery in Oxford tidied it up a bit and got it working perfectly. So now it looked like this: However I missed drilling holes in my bass so I soon decoded, by now 100% sold on the Roland system, that I wanted the up/down/assignable switches to be installed in the bass. I drove down to see @KiOgon who happily did the job in about ten seconds flat and as I remember offered a very well brewed cup of tea. So then it looked like this: But then I didn't like having a stacked bass/treble knob, and wanted more holes in my bass, so I had the knob turned into two separate ones like this: ...which is where we are today, and have been for five years or so. I can't see anything changing from here, and this is DEFINITELY my choice of 'the one' Sorry, I went on a bit there didn't I!
  15. I like the guy at the end who says 'that's enough' 😂
  16. You definitely didn’t sign up to transferwives by accident?
  17. He’s right behind you, just ask! 😂
  18. Welcome, I'm also in Yorkshire, lovely part of the world
  19. I have the Blackstar 2x10 combo. It's very loud and has some really good pre amp emulator settings. I've only used it in a studio so can't comment on much more than the solid build, light-ish weight and good looks (rather like myself! ha) Happy to answer any Qs about it
  20. It's probably the only time she'd be happy about my GAS
