Hi Rob Just want I'm looking for. Will I find the details to make said donation on the NWAA Web site? Kind regards Julian

Hi Rosie. I'll happily take that. I have folks in South Africa who run a music outreach and school for underprivileged kids, and they'd love to add this to their meagre stock of effect pedals... Bengal pee is just a bonus. PM sent

Thank you so much for the interest. They have both been taken. Sorry I couldn't reply to everyone. Lots of messages hahahaha

I've got two older model Android Tablets. One, a 2016 Samsung Galaxy Tab E 9.6 and the other, a 2019 Huawei Mediapad T5. While neither will receive further updates, both are fully functional and perfect for reading charts, your digital magazines, and whatever else you can get to run on them. I used the Samsung for ages as a chart reader with Adobe Acrobat. Both have solid covers. Collect or P&0 at your expense. Many thanks, Julian aka Glassmoon

Thanks @lemmywinks. I've asked if the dimensions are internal or external. The Ibanez looks like a decent option too. Ta!

I did look at those. They look solid, especially the orange lined one.. But out of stock doesn't help hahahaha I'll take a look at the manufacturer site and confirm those inner dimensions. Ta

The problem is not the scale length, it's the overall size of the instrument. I have 2 35" scale length basses and the Cort is way bigger than the Ibanez (BTB). Were it only that easy...

Funny you say that, I emailed them today to find the real difference between the 7051 and the 7051 besides the faux sheepskin interior. They look like the real deal

Having a look at Protection Racket... [LINK] Anyone know if those are good? They are not inexpensive, but not criminally so

I've been looking on the Thomann site and there are some nice options that won't break the bank, and are (internally), at least 124cm which leave a wee bit of wiggle room. My biggest issue, is that Cort don't respond the customer queries, and none of the Cort distributors in the UK seem to have any answer as to what gig bag my model bass could make use of. I have no idea if the Cort gig bags are decent or not - decent being a relative term of course - but for me, I want as much support and padding as my upgraded Levy bag (it was a double bag that I had converted to a single with additional bracing). I don't want to compromise by using just any bag - -nor do I want to spend hundreds... but it looks like I am going to have a tough time finding a viable solution. Thank you to @jrixn1 and @Jonesy

Anyone?

Hi all, I'm looking for a gig bag for my Cort GB75JH - which is a very long bass. It's a hair under 122cm, from the top of the headstock to end of the strap button on the body. It just squeezes into my Levy bag... but not in a way I am too happy with. Not looking to spend loads of money here, but looking for something that is solid and secure and most of all, can accommodate a long bass. My thanks, as ever, in advance... Julian aka Glassmoon

Thanks all - huge appreciation...

Hi all Anyone know what size Allen key is required for a Cort GB-75JH? It's accessed at the body side of the neck, and it's similar to the Ernie Ball type (looks like a kid's wooden construction set piece - see stock image) Huge thanks in advance. Julian aka Glassmoon

Hey @NancyJohnson Yeah, I was not too happy with what Amazon spat out at me... so following on with @dustandbarley, I took a spin past Thomann and it's all there, including sipping, for under £60. I'd say that's a win. I really don't want to stop playing Elixirs... I've used them almost exclusively since 2000!!!!

Hey!!! I'd forgotten about them... with a tenner for shipping, it's under £60!!! What a win... that's awesome Thanks so much @dustandbarley - very good of you.

So no one seems to have them for less than about 80 quid!!!!! Even Amazon doesn't come cheap... Next question... for the XL players... La Bella, D'Addario or Ernie Ball < all nickel for me though

Hi all, As the title infers, where is the best place in the UK to get Extra Long Scale Elixer 5-string sets? It seems that XLs don't come in a 5 set any longer, but you need to buy the 4 string set and then the single 130 for the low B. Not a problem, you'd think, but hell's teeth... where seems to be the thing. Lots and lots of availability on standard or long scale, but for 35"??? I love Elixirs, and have used them almost exclusively for about 25 years, but at this rate, I may have to find an alternative for a long lasting string.... Any suggestions? Thanks all Julian aka Glassmoon

Last night... Corporate show for Hospice
