  1. We can also see all your pics!! Not really - thanks for raiding it I'll pass it up the chain. Has this always happened or is it since the last update (a week or so ago)?
  2. But I’m severely malnourished and I live in a tent ⛺️
  3. I don’t know but put him back before he presses charges
  4. Excellent, I'm a rythem guitar bass drummer!
  5. Glad to hear he hasn't besmirched the good ped name
  6. Similar problems over on a watch forum I use - basically nobody covers a watch above £1000 - the only way around it is to have a business to business 'ParcelPro' account. Personally, when shifting gear, I prefer to meet halfway or pick up item if I can. Good excuse for a weekend away. Whilst I've not had any really bad experiences with couriers they normally call when I'm out walking Sybil or when I'm firmly glued to the lavatory
  7. Have a look now, I’ve put it above ‘other’

    I can’t compare it to another fretless but it does sound excellent. I guess it was a bit of an experimental stage, and no doubt it had an influence on the later Delta Metal fingerboard fretless basses.

    I have a series 1 which has a wooden neck with a brass laminate under the fretboard - really cool idea, mega idiosyncratic - and it has a truss rod, which I haven't had to touch. It's my fretless bass too so the action is super important, but no worries with it at all...
  10. Difficult/impossible to have that on this software, and this way the companies can easily update and reply to threads, too. It has to be as easy as possible for them, and the from format works well from both a software and user POV.

    Great, but you need to check you like the amount of relief because obviously you can’t change it. My series II basses are almost exactly flat which I love. The series Iii and IV have a tad more but it’s still only about a credit card thickness. It’s rare to see one where the neck has moved even a fraction in its lifetime.
  12. Look like a whisker above 2mm at the 12th fret
  13. It has to be in the 'marketplace' section but yes it'll be moved probably to above 'other items for sale'
  14. Hi folks You may have noticed a new forum in the marketplace called 'commercial items for sale' Currently it's just a bit of a test, but ideally I'd like it to be an area for used bass shops, luthiers and small scale companies to list items they have for sale, so you can look through all the stock directly on BC. We'll see how it goes, and I'll be adding some companies as we go - I will over the next few weeks be talking to small shops and dealers to sign a few more up. Ideally I'd like items posted there to be automatically tagged as 'dealer' but I'm working on things like that, so it's still a work in progress. I hope you like it and find it useful - let's see what happens. Cheers ped
  15. Do you mind if I share this on our Instagram? Cheers
  16. Hi there do you mind if I share the third pic on our Instagram?
  17. We used to sell embroidered polo shirts and before that a run of T shirts too. However our embroiderer went bust so we removed them from the shop with a plan to find someone as good as soon as poss, but I haven’t yet! There’s very little money in them but it’s nice to have them to offer. Instead I think I’m going to look for sticker packs next, as I can store and post those myself. Polo shirts were drop shipped by the embroiderer but not everyone wants to do that. We were working with a few people to make basschat branded items in our shop such as black cables with orange sleeves but they went quiet and I haven’t yet been able to chase them up. Will work on this again over the summer.
  18. @thebassgallery call ahead and tell them you want tea and biscuits
  19. We don’t normally allow ‘what’s it worth’ posts but it’s more difficult to research the value of a DB so I’ll allow this one. Good luck with it
  20. An hour flies by, trust me. Especially if the podcast wants to be relaxed and conversational. Listen to the podcast I posted earlier. Two guys talking about watches with a rough theme each week. Buy you wouldn’t set an actual time, just a rough idea about how long to chat in each section. The idea with the companion sound clips would be so presenters could say ‘check out the clips if you like’ so you can hear them another time. Otherwise it would get complicated to edit to begin with. Again, the podcast I posted they say ‘see the blog for the pictures of the watches we’re looking at today’ How often do people post sound clips here? Rarely. You wouldn’t want to go out if your way to attain them, and then what sort of quality? Nah keep it conversational, relaxed and uncomplicated before anything else creeps in.
  21. I think you're in danger of spreading yourselves too thinly. I've been taking to Akio and have suggested a rough format along the lines of: -News -Interesting threads this week/month -Interesting items for sale this week/month -Topic of the week/month (short scales - why?... Graphite - all it's cracked up to be?... How to use a delay pedal... Overdrive on bass... plectrum - yes or no?....) -Answer Qs sent in about previous show -What's the question next week? send any questions to... -end (total runtime about 60 mins) I'd suggest to begin with not having sound clips and samples but just keep it to two people talking clearly about the issues at hand. Like being in the pub. Sound clips and so on (if recorded) could be added as downloads perhaps in a dedicated podcast thread which would be closed to comments except by the team. Anyway that would be my suggestion.
  22. Agree. I don’t use individual pedals now but if I had to have just one it would be the LMB3. I used one live for years and even now I use the ‘boss limiter’ in my multi fx which is the same thing. The enhancer can also be useful used sparingly with some amps.
