I've saw some blues,reds and yellows used for thumb rests on eBay. Mostly from Chinese sellers but I've dealt with a few and no problems. About halfway down they start to appear. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1311.R4.TR4.TRC0.A0.H0.Xthumb+res.TRS0&_nkw=bass+guitar+thumb+rest&_sacat=0 or in Tyneside CH Guitars sell them http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Metal-Thumb-Rest-For-Bass-Guitar-R3-/131792666528?var=&hash=item1eaf747fa0:m:mT4dkepXnLStUw8-sJ8Tr_g

That's a cracker. I owned the Harley Benton semi hollow,discontinued white version, and it was a decent bass. All maple too,very nice with flats or rounds. I much prefer the layout on the G4M San Francisco,controls are in a sensible place. £40 cheaper,gigbag included Would be sorely tempted by it if I was looking for another semi hollow. edit Just saw that's the Sale price, don't take too long deciding Yay or Nay.

Not the Harley Benton PJ, it's 42mm

Peavey did quite a few PJ basses but most are long discontinued. The Milestone IV is a decent bass,set one up for a workmate last summer and think he got a good deal ( 2nd hand £80). There's 2 Zodiac models are PJ. The BXP and Zodiac DE Scorpio, Scorpio comes with Duncan Basslines. Sorry Mark76 didn't think to mention them with them no longer available.

Had the Harley Benton one. It was a nice bass,scratchplate didn't bother me. I'm playing bass not entering a fashion parade The HTR PJ play nicely,was good with both flats and RWs and lightweight. If you buy from Thomann but it's not for you then just send it back. Bit of a win/win situation.

Could get the Warwick prototype link to work so used the search and saw this ??? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-WARWICK-BRASS-JUST-A-NUT-III-4-STRING-BASS-THUMB-CORVETTE-STREAMER-ALIEN-/361384649514?hash=item542434232a:g:7vIAAOSwu4BV6ia- £140 !! It's £44 from Thomann https://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_just_a_nut_iii_brass_4str_385.htm Still the seller's in America so he's got the right market

What about a thin slice of Corian ? Synthetic marble type stuff. I fitted counters and worktops made from it. Plenty colours available too. http://www.cdukltd.co.uk/colours.php?p=colours&s=corian

Only ever bought stuff from there online, the prices are good,products up to scratch and it's always prompt delivery. Certainly gets my recommendation.

3rd or 4th time in recent weeks I've saw Doug's name come up I'd take that as an omen and phone him !!

Does Ghost Tech not sell their Piezo saddles as separates ?

Good to hear it's resolved but it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Maybe if customers add a note to their orders saying they've heard your experience and won't accept returned goods GAK will get it's act together.

Aye it's a cool wee thing,shame I'm thick an can't make head nor tail of the manual. Keys on one string,drums on another.Looks like you can trigger samples by linking them to certain frets ?? All a bit much. Regarding the missing models, well I'm not counting fretless versions nor things like 1st gen Dyna vs 2nd Gen Dyna. The promo basses like Jack Daniels or John Taylor Liberator are out too. From the USA basses there's just the RJ-IV missing. Just remembered from the Far East basses there's the Korean Fury and couple of the Milestones. I'll change the first post to say " Peavey USA bass models "

Nearly last bass day for more than one reason First is there's only 2 Peavey USA bass models I don't own,down to 1 now. Second. On the drive home from collecting it I was in a car crash. Both me and bass had a very lucky escape with minor injuries, car is a total write off So it's the Peavey Midibase (later called Cyberbass due to trademark issues),Peavey took up the Midibass after Wal dropped it probably about 1989/90. Triggers are in the frets but you can play normal bass too. Sounds like a VFL Foundation but it has a wider nut. Given the scarcity of these I'll admit to surprise when it appeared for sale. The receiver and Spectrum sound module were included but a hobble round the house tonight only turned up one Midi cable Plugged into the Roland Sound Canvas and right off I had sound. A change of technique will be necessary to trigger all the notes but to be honest it'll just be one for the collection. Reckon I'm about 30 year to late to be learning about MIDI [attachment=237680:IMAG0569.JPG]

FlatEric I got some kind of Behringer miser/splitter and used it for different heads with DI. It runs to the IEM unit but could easily go to a wee 4 headphone amp. Imagine you could do similar by connecting headphone amp to the phones out on the desk.

skej21 It's not a bad idea complaining here. Few years back one of the English chains were advertising "free UK mainland delivery",only Scotland wasn't thought part of the UK mainland This prompted several replies from North of the border and couple hours later the chain's head man was posting saying sorry and he'd now changed the courier. This was 3pm on a Friday so venting here can work.

Would a clean boost pedal work ? Could place it before the pre amp pedal.

" [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Did you send him the link ? "[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Nope. Been my experience pointing out errors in folks sales ads only leads to abuse.[/font][/color]

It says with Danny Stewart. He a BC member, look for Bass direct Japan in the affiliate section.

Yeah you will read it has a Modulus neck or described as "poor man's Modulus",mainly because the B-Quad had a Modulus and the G has carbon neck. Thing is by 1997 Modulus had been trading for 19 year and was a well known brand.With any outsourced parts Peavey would use that in the ads and specs. They did it with the Modulus neck B-Quad and when they used Seymour Duncan pickups.Schaller, Wilkinson.ABM & 2-Tek bridges all get name checked in the manuals too. Some folks say it was a Moses but they used a different construction method. Peavey said they used an aerospace firm for the necks,they did employ an ex employee of Modulus though When the G-Bass was released the Ad-line said " Under 8lb.Under $800". Modulus necks at the time cost over $600. Funny how folk never mention the Cirrus preamp lurking below the cavity cover

Please somebody tell me that this £172 from G4M Vintage Metal Axxe Wraith had a £700 USA only version. http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Vintage-Metal-Axxe-Wraith-Bass/5GB https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/vintage-wilkinson-rare-bass-guitar/1214156656 I drank in a pub round the corner from the seller and fear his madness may be catching.

The trouble Peavey faced was they priced too low from the start. T 40s sold for $229 when Fenders were $499. Furys and Foundations were the same. That got the brand locked into the bottom end of the market and when the spec and prices started rising folks baulked at the increase. "how can a Peavey cost $500 ? " G bass was $799 There's a line in the Peavey Guitar book where Hartley says folks want made in America guitars and he says " Sure. I got one here." the reply is " But the import's cheaper !" That's the way of the world. One thing Peavey did when they moved to the Far East was place their own people there too,Mike Powers(with Peavey from early 80's) was in charge for years before his death in 2013. Mike was involved with most of the basses from Foundation to Cirrus,including G bass and Grinds. BTW the neck on the G bass is not a Modulus. For Peavey with a Modulus neck you want a B-Quad.

Good man Bass Apprentice. Was just going to post this myself.

First tried them a few year back,wanted a black coated string like Black Beauties but the shop didn't stock them. Owner suggested Nexus instead "That's them on my Wal over there,away an plug it in. See how they feel." A very cool way to try out Nexus and a very cool shop, Ayr Guitars in funnily enough Ayr I've used them on plenty of basses since,there was a dodgy batch a few years ago when the packaging company changed the paper envelopes but that's long sorted.One thing I've noticed is the bright zingy tone can be a bit much with high output pickups like Enwistle Neos,you can tame it using active EQ but on my passive zodiac DE it was a no-no.

Pre-ordered the BZ-4000 couple of years back. Very nice basses,rock solid build and great feel to it. Only trouble was I'd way too many active 4 string neck throughs so sold it to a pal. It's been his main bass for the last year and half. The solid build means some will find it heavy,mine was about 11lb. edit I posted in the Fan Fret " Leap of Faith" thread that I reckon the high cost of the deco is down to the manufacture costs. Jazz and P bass are very common so cheap to build,single cuts not so much. Then add in the fan fret niche market and prices rise again. No single cuts on Ali E for less than £270,no Fan Frets for less than £429 so I doubt Thomann are paying much less than £280 themselves.

They're pretty nice basses. Like all Peaveys no matter the price range the neck is first class and again like all Peaveys they don't sell for much. I was £150 for my last DE. First one I followed Chrismuzz's advice and put Entwistle Neos in,turned out the neos were way to high output for the Roto Nexus it was strung with so it now sports La B flats.The stock one with the SD Basslines has much lower output so the Nexus aren't too harsh,they're a very bright zingy string. Shame you're other end of the country so there's one of nearly every Peavey model as I type
