  1. Well... at least we can’t see the headstock!
  2. Nah I'm keeping it I think. Leo told me that he didn't like the LB1000, especially green ones
  3. Yes, Leo's finest P bass 😂
  4. I'd also like to come as long as Leo's later works aren't barred!
  5. 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.
  6. I think Elixir have patented that process.
  7. Why did you? 😂
  8. Possibly, but then we'd just hear lots of annoyed DPD customers.
  9. 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!
  10. I like the guy at the end who says 'that's enough' 😂
  11. You definitely didn’t sign up to transferwives by accident?
  12. He’s right behind you, just ask! 😂
  13. Welcome, I'm also in Yorkshire, lovely part of the world
  14. 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
  15. It's probably the only time she'd be happy about my GAS
  16. I’d happy swap my child for a Shuker or Wal. Or even just a new battery for my preamp.
  17. I’ve changed it for you
  18. I’ve got GAS to pay my council tax, can’t wait, so yours for £850!!
  19. It's wasted my morning going down the bass vid rabbit hole, that's what! Actually the clip is quite good, the bloke seems cool and down't waffle on endlessly. Especially I like the sound right at the end:
  20. Interesting, thanks. I'd like to hear some good sound samples but YT doesn't have anything decent - there's one clip but the sound of both pickups sounds out of phase or something and I also want to hear one slapped!
  21. Cool bass. Out of interest what’s the relief like on the neck? Assume it has no truss rod (like all the best basses) ped
  22. The bit about him having to caulk the pick guard because he sweats so much is enough to put me off, on top of the music of course.
  23. I used to love watching Morse and pointing out all the places I’ve been sick around Oxford
  24. 😂 no problem at all, let me know if you need help with anything welcome to the site!
