Hi there, sure thing. Will PM now.

Not really; as many who have submitted their email won’t end up buying as those who have and will buy more than one set. That’s the premise I’m working with anyway. Also there’s no way to track who wants what, that will sort itself out when people buy and choose quantities.

Thanks folks no need to let me know how many sets yet, once we have enough people interested then I’ll send payment info and you just pay for as many as you like

Thanks, inevitably some of the pre sale group won’t actually buy so there’s some slack built into the numbers; I’m planning for a worst case scenario just to be sure!

We need about 30 more signups to make this viable - the minimum quantity has to be met... so come on folks roll up!

What does Mr. Miller have to say about all this

🤔

I hope those feedbacks didn’t come from Basschat... I’d they did kindly add me into the conversations and I’ll happily dish out some sanctions.

The original plan was just to assess whether there's a market for them - as long as 100 are up for the pre sale then I'll get them made. I think we have about 65 so far in almost exactly 24hrs (assuming everyone buys one set)

I’m up here Stew! Up here!

Or throw some cash at ped and see his jugs as part of the deal

This is a similar article but with pictures of the strings and sound clips too https://m.bonedo.de/artikel/einzelansicht/vergleichstest-flatwound-saiten-fuer-e-bass/2.html

The colour looks amazing in that pic, sort of a silver burst? And... no. 😂

W&T. Very nice shape

Time for a rampage

Just for you tony

It's going to be such great fun and massively satisfying to screw it all together. Lovely stuff.

I hereby promise to sign every pre-sale set. Better stock up on pens!

Exactly - but ORANGE!!!

Hi folks of BC I'm having some Basschat branded strap lock washers made and wanted too see if the idea is feasible by offering them up here at an early bird reduced price. This is partly because I think they might be quite a nice little item to spend a few quid on, partly because I think they will stand out to other Basschatters in the audience (in person and online) and also because I want some myself. They are going to be made out of good quality silicone with the Basschat logo stamped on both sides. They are the same colour as 'Basschat Orange' which makes a change from the usual colours you find online (red, blue, black, white). (mockup of design, logo is stamped) They will be sold as a pack of four, with a full retail price of around £6 including delivery (tbc, may change). My proposal is this - in order for me to prove the concept I'd like to offer some sample packs at a reduced price to help meet the minimum order quantity. Would you be happy to pay £6 for four? if so, please sign up via this website and I will send out payment instructions and the reduced price (tbc but less than £6!) to you as soon as possible. Non UK residents may be asked to pay a little more to pay for postage but I'll have this as an option come payment time. I hope you agree that they'll look pretty good and be a nice souvenir of our lovely website. Cheers ped P.s to keep this thread going, please comment 'I'm in' or similar once you sign up. You could even show me your bass, if you're into that sort of thing. Here's one of mine! Oh, and if you do Facebook/Instagram whatever is cool these days, please share!!!

Take your sunglasses off!! 😎

Different tool - those will only dampen open strings and I think they are designed for people who do silly things like tapping on their bass. In the past I have used them to stop harmonic resonance of adjacent strings when playing a freless which just seemed to want to come alive when you touched it!

Would you still be happy playing a bass with the guy's name on the headstock?

(Ken) Smith Taper Core strings are like that, except the D and G strings. Info down this page http://www.kensmithbasses.com/strings/master-series/ I've never tried them and not sure if the core is hex.
