[/quote] Hi there In that case you can clear some room. Go to your name in the top right, then click 'my settings' then 'manage attachments' Will check tomorrow and make sure you've got it sorted! Cheers

Here you go! http://basschat.co.uk/topic/265885-ampeg-svt-head-and-mesa-410-cab-both-flightcased-l350-each/ And probs let me know Cheers

I play in D all the time and use light strings. I love the lower tension and the clank you can get from digging in. I thought about getting a D tuner to drop the D to a B and even thought about putting one on the A string too. Floppiness aside, would a standard D tuner drop a D to a B? Or an A to an E?

Time for a 'Show us yer' graphite' thread? Edit: Graphite basses, not any other graphite you might own, like pencils

There's a consistency and a sort of compressed clarity that I love about graphite necks. Personally I prefer them, especially their stability. If you're making a bolt on it would be interesting to try both. I had both on a Stingray and the graphite one stayed on. My main bass has a graphite neck and no truss rod so it's lucky it suits me as it hasn't, and can't be adjusted!

[quote name='goblin' timestamp='1436191895' post='2815769'] I moved from DR to Elixir and thought they were great, problem is that they don't fit Warwick bridges particularly well! Whilst I was willing to shoehorn one onto my old Streamer, there's no way I was gunna do it to the SS1 or the Infinity... funnily enough, I'm back on DR now! [/quote] Interesting - is that due to the bridge break angle? How do the DRs differ, are they those exposed core types?

Hehe give it time!

Personally I'd never have a custom made for me.

Hi guys Recently Elixir Strings ran a competition for some BC members to try their strings. This thread is for the feedback from the tests conducted. Winners have been asked to place feedback here but if you are reading this and didn't enter the comp - or did and didn't win, and you use Elixir strings, I'm sure any extra feedback would be interesting too. Cheers ped P.s Feedback will start to arrive in a week or so as the strings are being sent out at the moment

I'm getting one soon from TC to review

Correction - the seller has 'been' disappeared

I understand that it's not for everyone, but it does work out in the end for most people. Whilst you pay upfront there's no time limit to sell the item, there's no final fee and you get to sell it within a dedicated and passionate community. Being a member for the forum and just chatting about basses is just as welcome so it's all cool IMO ped

No problem I tend to deal with several payment problems a week and I always sort people out almost immediately. Because it happens largely by email/PM, people don't see how busy I am with my A* customer service Oh and it's been like that since day 1, no matter how much the company is 'worth' - even though we're not the 'Chat Partnership' any more. Cheers ped

Should be fine if you log out, clear cache, then try again. Failing that perhaps try another computer? Also try logging out of Paypal so you have to log in again when paying.. Cheers ped

Hi chaps This is what's happened - you've probably gone back a page during the listing/paying process and as such both 'items' have been added to your basket. You need to start all over again, probably clear your cookies too. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any problems ped

Elixir strings have been a sponsor of Basschat for several years now and they have offered several competitions and giveaways during that time. Elixir now want your help in testing their new and improved strings. They're offering 20 members the chance to test their new and improved Nanoweb coated strings in return for some feedback about them. The best feedback will win a year's supply of strings (3 sets) They say: When we set out to redesign our bass range, the first thing we did was listen. Working closely with the global bass community, we asked 4000+ players what they needed from a bass string, and recruited 1000+ players for field trials to help improve our protective NANOWEB® Coating. Their feedback drove the development of new Nickel Plated Steel and Stainless Steel Bass Guitar Strings. With improved performance and a wider choice, the new bass line that modern musicians demand is here. The Nanoweb coating has been improved to make it more durable (I'd be interested to see how pick players get on with them) and the tension, profile and feel have all been tweaked. The strings are available in nickel or steel depending on your tastes and Elixirs say the sound and feel is different, too. How do you enter? All I want you to do is to reply to this thread with the following information: Have you tried Elixir strings before? What other brands are you familiar with? What bass(es) will you try the new strings on? What sort of environment will you be playing them in (e.g studio, gigging, practicing) Why do you think you'll be a good candidate to test the strings? Links to any blogs/reviews you may have already posted (not essential but interesting) So - get posting. I've been using Elixirs for years now, and completely without bias I say they suit me down to the ground. A year's supply of strings for me would probably be a couple of sets because they just seem to last so well in my hands. My preference for the strings resulted in me contacting them a few years ago about advertising so I'm really pleased that the relationship between Elixir and Basschat has continued. For more information about the strings and to have a look at the sizes available, check out the site http://www.elixirstrings.co.uk/bass/ Winners will be contacted on the 23rd June(ish) and the strings will be sent out at the end of June. Please make sure you respond to the PM (private message) quickly if you're successful otherwise another winner will be chosen! We look forward to seeing what you guys think and good luck! ped This pic shows the Elixir Nanoweb coating, around the whole string rather than the wrap. This means the gaps in the wrap are protected. Table showing available sizes and some new additions to the range (all strings are the 'new' formula; the 'new' tag indicates it's a new/updated size being offered) And here's the Elixir logo, just for fun BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT!
