  1. Fondle yes - be able to play them - probably not [attachment=41268:basses.JPG]
  2. [quote name='Bigwan' post='725289' date='Jan 26 2010, 03:26 PM']These pickups are available in two different versions. One set is designed to be wired in parallel, and the other in series. [attachment=41179:nord.jpg][/quote] Which version are these please?
  3. [quote name='johnbass57' post='717473' date='Jan 19 2010, 08:31 AM']Who was this bass_ferret chap and why was he banned?[/quote] Multiple Personality Disorder perhaps John?
  4. I quite like the look of that bass - any issues with it?
  5. I don't know if GMAudio are still in business? - The guy there was/is a Trace expert. If you don't mind shipping I can recommend Steve Rowse without hesitation - he's brilliant. - [url="http://www.stevesamps.co.uk"]http://www.stevesamps.co.uk[/url]
  6. Have you had a browse through the sticky topic above? - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=198"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=198[/url]
  7. I also :wub: DR Sunbeams. I have DR's on 3 of my basses - Hi-Beams, Fatbeams and Sunbeams and I'm sure that when I look at them side by side the Sunbeams aren't quite as shiny as the others because of the nickel content? Can you A/B a set on their colour? edit: - I also think they have a slight hue to them, like an old sixpence - I know you remember them!
  8. I've been watching Andy Billups from The Hamsters for years. Rock solid and totally effortless playing.

    hi

    Another member of the Surrey Massive! - Welcome
  10. [quote name='alansanderson' post='710787' date='Jan 12 2010, 11:51 PM']I take my basses to a chap called Jack Ellis up in Salford, so if you're in the Manchester area he's a possibility. He's a top guy to deal with and I've never had any problems, always documents exactly what he does and will re-adjust your bass free of charge if the set-up isn't quite right or it settles in and starts buzzing or anything... I think he's on here as "gabson" or you can get hold of him on 07706828122 - tell him I sent ya =)[/quote] Added - Thanks
  11. [quote name='tom1946' post='703972' date='Jan 7 2010, 11:47 AM']I can recommend Nigel Stockbridge in Richmond, North Yorks. [url="http://www.nigelsguitarworkshop.co.uk/"]http://www.nigelsguitarworkshop.co.uk/[/url] I've had a lot of work done over the years though not on bass's. He can repair or set up anything, very clever man who deals with a lot of famous people. Also Steve Suggitt. Lives in West Ayton near Scarborough is another luthier I have used. He builds all kinds of guitars and does repairs and setups. Very talented man. [url="http://www.chapelguitars.com/"]http://www.chapelguitars.com/[/url] And finally, Martin Dixon [url="http://web.ukonline.co.uk/mdguitars/"]http://web.ukonline.co.uk/mdguitars/[/url] Can do anything. I've seen bass's that he's made and they are simply stunning! He's in Otley near Leeds. Hope that helps. Tom.[/quote] I've added the ones who you've used - Thanks

  13. [quote name='spiritchaser' post='441582' date='Mar 22 2009, 11:04 AM']I fully trust in Rüdiger Ziesemann from[b] Bassline Basses[/b] in Krefeld, North Rhine Westphalia, Germany. He did a splendid job with my WAL 5 and our "Hybrid" WAL fretless project (http://www.bassline-bass.de/). Cheers Oliver[/quote] Added - Thanks
  14. I remember this happened before when the server time glitched.
  15. I bought a pack of these and they're very good imho - [url="http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/0438717/details.html"]http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/0438717/details.html[/url] Just wipe off any excess.
  16. It should work fine if you have GMT set under My Controls/Board Settings and "Auto correct DST?" ticked. My clock seems fine - anyone else having problems?
  17. [quote name='gabson' post='710369' date='Jan 12 2010, 06:15 PM']How do I appear on this list?! cheeky but it would be great![/quote] You appear once an established member who has used your services as a bass luthier recommends you
  18. That's one of those basses that makes me do a sex wee. What's the string spacing?
  19. I like it. I think it's cool. BUT i haven't played it so it [i]could [/i]be a pile of poo?
  20. The Surrey Massive grows!! - Welcome!
