Hi Paul! Lovely to meet you too. Thanks for stopping by. We hope to have some more instruments with isn’t next year. That snapdragon is really cool!

You could always film a reconstruction in B+W slow-mo like they used to do on ‘999’ (remember that programmme?!) See you tomorrow, if my train isn’t cancelled!!!

Yes, I used to have a preamp with headphone output and normal output to an amp. I plugged some in ear phones (shure e2c) into the preamp with a little inline volume control. I’d simply adjust the volume to taste. The foam inserts in the headphones made the band a bit quieter and I could get my bass exactly the right mix in my ears. Worked perfectly!

Importing a neck with an Indian rosewood fingerboard & CITES
ped replied to JimBobTTD's topic in General Discussion
Thanks! I might try them. Basically I want a simple FAQ that users here can read to help them when importing or exporting. They’ve apparently forwarded me to someone else now, so that’ll be fun. -

They make bass ukuleles you know Nice to hear from you Peter, I know exactly what you mean but perhaps an extended break will help. You'll always be a 'bass player' and that'll help you with your uke playing, too. I haven't been in a band for years now, and often don't pick up a bass for weeks on end, but I still feel like a 'bassist' and enjoy keeping up to date with the gear and social aspect. Stick around, and enjoy the uke. I've always been interested to play one but almost constant appearances on adverts, along with whistling, has put me off!

Importing a neck with an Indian rosewood fingerboard & CITES
ped replied to JimBobTTD's topic in General Discussion
I've spent the last week trying to get hold of SOMEONE, ANYONE at 'CITES' to give me some clear guidance that I can give to you all. NOBODY will give me a straight answer to my questions, I keep getting passed from one person to another and the whole process is frankly a shambles. -

Cool collection. I thought you had a really long sofa, too.

Although we’re not allowed to host Rickenbacker sales on Basschat due to John Hall being a (omitted for legal reasons), I can’t say I’m unhappy to see fake ricks being sold elsewhere. Scam or not!

can't shim a set neck, but the bridge saddles are too high
ped replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in Repairs and Technical
Naah I’ve done it loads of times without a single problem. It’s very difficult to make it a rough finish if you do it with a proper file. -

ped replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in Repairs and Technical
I’d file the saddles down. Go deeper than you have to then raise them up to taste. When I say file them down I mean use a round file and file the grooves down rather than the bottom of the barrel. -
Or, more accurately, lets see how long it takes the web company to make the changes. Speaking from experience the simplest jobs can take an age to get fixed and I’m sure The Gallery will do their best!

Sold - Ashdown C110 uk made combo (now £150)

Great!! Looks nice, that.

Yes I have one like that and much prefer single balls. I wonder if there's a design where you can have the ball end at the headstock and then clamp the end of the string at the tuner end = best of both worlds...
-
I like the look of that design. For me, what kills most headless designs is the 'other' end, which often seems 'unfinished'. However, there are a few examples of ideas I really like which still have a sort-of headstock:

I could downgrade it to a spank

I'm getting the train from York so I hope that's OK - last time the one in front of us was delayed by an hour because there was a balloon on the line. Guess we won't know until we get to the station (at 6am!)
