    Scam warning

    We flagged him as a spammer on the 10th so he must have just emailed you in time. As I say hopefully we won't see him again after my little trick. Let's see.

    Scam warning

    Hi Mike We’ve put an announcement in the wanted forum about this. This member has been banned several times now, they always sign up with a username containing the word ‘gear’ and then PM tons of people in the wanted forum. I’ve recently found a way to nip it in the bud so he can no longer do this but it’s still worth warning people. And also glad to hear you didn’t use ‘friends and family’ payment (I assume). Sorry to hear about it and glad it worked out ok in the end. Can you tell me what date you originally made contact and any details regarding addresses or phone numbers please? Cheers ped
  3. Agree with you @Painy and @4000 I like a super low action - but I find the most important thing is very little relief in the neck. This means I can play with a super light touch, and by altering the way I pluck the strings, and position of my right hand, I can go from a clear round note to a raspy burp sound. This has been married to the careful use of a limiter in my signal chain which gives everything a defined 'edge' at which point the clank cuts in. I haven't ever measured my action but I like it lowww - especially the G string which I always have lower than the rest. Normally at a bash people pick up my bass and it's choking everywhere - and when I pick up someone else's bass I feel really slow and numb on it!

    Vigier Porn!

    Anyone up for a bit of case porn? Apparently Vigier only made these fitted hard cases for a year or so. Made of wood, quite light actually - I don't have the key but I doubt the locks are up to much. Feels pretty solid and it's nice to have one that fits perfectly. I've had it for ages, but recently gave it a bit of a clean so thought why not get some snaps.
  5. Ok can you clear your browser cache and let me know if you see another.
  6. Thanks. I’ve had some too. Investigating.
  7. That really is an insane price. These basses are incredible!!
  8. Ok please let us know if you see one again, and if you do can you paste the link you were trying to get to here? Hopefully now fixed! Cheers
  9. It's only very occasionally they occur. I have seen two or three in total and I'm on here all day, so many users won't have seen any at all. We're still working on it though.
  10. If any of you see it again can you copy and paste the link here for me?
  11. We're fixing the 502 error now, just so you know it's in hand. It's a problem with the software I think, not our server (not our fault basically!) Will update when fixed.
  12. You can't Just wait a day or so and most things will have new content.
  13. Same here, although my intonation isn't accurate 😅 I use Polytunes with the clip removed, stuck to the back of the headstock. Unitunes would have been better probably but they weren't released at the time. On my mini bass I use a polythene because it's half scale and can work better in guitar mode. It's actually stuck to the body on that bass (you can prob just spot it in avatar) So yes I like clip on tuners. The Poly/unitune is the only one (to my knowledge) that's 'flat' with the clip removed.
  14. Welcome to the site. Love those EBS combos. Hope you enjoy it here, get stuck in and have fun.
  15. Yes I see these now and again. I’m checking now. Normally they are server updates but we should be old about those ahead of time.
  16. Ok sorted this one - Karl left the conversation/deleted the message thread but you replied to it after this so it didn’t arrive with him. If you look at the top it’ll say ‘1 member in this conversation’ Hope that helps
  17. Feeler gauges are the normal technique
  18. Hm not unless someone’s PMs are off. I’ll have a look at it tomorrow. Maybe the ‘send’ button was missed - is it in your sent items?

    Good morning!

    @orangefriday what number is your Arpege? Very early one isn't it? Welcome aboard! You'll fit right in. I'm a Vigier fan (two Arpege and a Passion). Would love to see pics of yours! Here's thread to check out. Get stuck in and enjoy! ped
