  1. The one on the Ibanez EHB was a thin piece of wood with double sided tape on it!
  2. This should probably be in the selling areas, but there are so many stickies in there it is hard to see anything, and I think it is quite important, although hard to stop. There are a current number of "Man in the middle" scams being tried, both here and on other forums. How this scam works is that someone is selling something on the forum like this: GoodSeller: I am selling this expensive bass, I am not shipping it GoodBuyer: Oh thats just what I want, will you ship it GoodSeller: No, I said I wouldn't! then someone looks at that interaction, and creates an account GoodSel1er, where there is a 1 instead of an L, a complelete different username, but looks really similar, then he sends a message to the buyer: GoodSel1er -> GoodBuyer: Hey I have changed my mind, do you want to me to ship it? I can send it to you by paypal F&F for £20. GoodBuyer-> GoodSel1er: Great thanks, you have lots of good feedback I will buy it off you. <sends money> then a week later, angry buyer posts on sellers real post 'you are a scammer you haven't sent me anything', and of course it is the first that the real seller has heard of it. BadSeller has trousered the money and is off with it, and because it is either a bank transfer or a f&f, you have no comeback. Obviously the answer is not to accept F&F or bank transfer, and ask for additional photos etc as usual, but additionally, be really sure who you are talking to - if someone messages you offering you something that is on the forum, go to that post, click on their username and select 'send message' to reply, then you know you are talking to the right person.
  3. wouldn't wood be a good option, then you can paint it the right colour
  4. OK - this appears to be some kind of scam - someone contacted you claiming to be moonbasealpha (but wasn't), and you have paid them. Please if you see something like this, report it to mods, rather than just use the word mods on the offchance one of the 5 or 6 mods happens to be in that thread! I will report it
  5. Yeh, what we had at new years, wouldn't have known anything about it if someone else hadn't told us some other band were on.
  6. Thats because you are on your own friends list!
  7. You are right, I can't listen to anything by him even once!
  8. I think that will be quite amusing as Trump has revelled in the misinformation to get where he is, but not is caught up in the fact that whatever he releases, noone is going to believe it is the full thing
  9. The performa is a nice bass
  10. Well, a new venue has opened up recently in our town, it is under a resteraunt, quite low ceilings, low lighting, little groups of chairs, very tastefully decorated, the sort of place you would go to meet someone for having an affair or something - looks like a little jazz club, very cute. I can imagine a sultry singer in the corner, with a guy on a double bass and a drummer, with a bass, snare and tom playing with brushes some gentle music. Only they didn't get that, they got us! I was a bit worried about this one as it really didn't seem like a good fit, but a gig is a gig and they booked us. Turned up earlier than others, started loading in, at least there is room out the front to go straight in (can't park there, but there is a car park round the corner, but loading is fine). We had the whole of the window area, so had to wait for the drummer to set up to see how much room we had, had a couple of feet between a monstera and the cymbals, enough for me. The only hard part of the setup was getting in each others way and the fact there were already people there who wanted to chat. But the place filled up with quite a few people we knew, and some people who came specifically to hear us, including one woman who plays bowling in the room below where we practiced on thursday night so though we sounded good! Started off quite quiet and went down well. The drummer got louder and faster through the gig but not much you can do about that. After much discussion we didn't really change the set list that much, brought back some older ones, couldn't do the newer ones as a lack of practice over the last few months. But all in all, a good gig, people seemed to enjoy it, the staff liked it, and after years of declining venues in town, its nice to see one come back.
  11. Need to plug your phone in
  12. It is - I tested it. However, there is a new issue which needs to get sorted out which is halting all mail
  13. Dingwall certainly do fretless as an option Clearly I read that wrong, nothing to see here
  14. I have not seen / heard of that. Also the email system has nothing to do with the PM functionality
  15. That is how it always works. If you watch fox news you can see them praising Trump for doing the same things they slated biden for doing, and vice versa. It doesn't matter what it is that is done, it is who is doing it. They are currently tying themselves in knots trying to explain why the stock market going down is a good thing, after years saying it was bad!
  16. Absolutely - have a gig on friday, the first gig or practice in a month. Gonna be great
  17. That's the theory but as one of the few people with a 42" scale electric bass (ie, not EUB, which is the same), the 42" G doesn't sound twangy at all. I think the best reason is that it is easier to play.
  18. It is - its one of those lines that you can use for warming up or just testing a bass out
  19. You certainly can get it to work on windows, its just a bit more work. Is there nothing on the A&H site about it?
  20. I suspect the problem with an eub bag is the width. The bag I have for my NS:Wav is clearly way to narrow, I would assume they all are!
  21. The full length, bass to tip of the headstock is 134cm Been looking, found a Warwick Buzzard case that was long enough, but an odd shape which might not fit (in fact, I was puzzled how it fits a buzzard), and a few 88 key cases. There is an Flying V bag that is long enough but it tapers to the neck (as you would expect from a V), which is where the sei is the widest.
  22. I assume the two larger black boxes are those, due to the colours of the wires, but no labels on them, not sure if they are removed or on the bottom. Still haven't found anything, was going to modify an existing old bass case with an extension, seemed easier than making a new case!
