Lovely bass the Cort Curbow. White fretless would look amazing. I make do with this [attachment=231957:Curbow 1.jpg] But there's also this to ease the pain [attachment=231958:Maniac (2).jpg]

I'll 2nd the Entwistle neos,they replaced the SD Basslines in my Zodiac DE. The covers are a bit bigger so use the ones from the pickup you're replacing.

If you fancy diy search for posts by "kohanmike" on talkbass ,you'll find plenty of ideas. I liked his LP mod.

Skybone. There's a fella been trying to sell a Rimini in Glasgow for months. Think it's £250 now. Would you like me to try and get his email address and PM you with it ?

I remember Speedway doing Genie in a Bottle a few years back. What's Up by 4 Non Blondes,Zombie by the Cranberries (covered by Screeching Weasel) come to mind. Plenty songs by Pink should work too.

Try and track down Nick Springetti. He built some guitars for Gordon Giltrap like this headless travel guitar. [attachment=231590:_full_SpringettFrontFull.jpg] [attachment=231591:_full_SpringettCloseUp.jpg]

Enjoyed that,always liked Nathans' playing.

Another set of La Bella strings arrived from Simon. Paid for them Sunday night,posted out Monday and delivered yesterday. Great fella to deal with,Highly recommended BC'er.

Not too bad a reaction Funny every time I click the "show ignored content" button over there I see I was right to have those folk on "ignore"

Posted a tentative note on the TB Thunderbird thread to see if any of the Americans were interested. A few told me to go ahead,1 asked if it was a sales pitch Let you know what the reaction is.

Karl thanks for starting a thread. I'd saw the site a couple of weeks back but forgot to bookmark it or write down the name Been driving me nuts trying to remember With me being nuts about Peaveys it's unlikely I'll be buying one but I think it's great we have another fella in the UK starting up.Chinese manufacture doesn't bother me in the slightest,well impressed with my Retrovibes so can't see these being any ldifferent. Bookmarked the page now and will keep an eye out for occasions when I can give them a plug.

Had a few dealings with Alan and he's a great fella. Last time I was picking up a Peavey LP copy and he gave me a Retrovibe Vantage project bass as well. Even put strings in the gig bag for it How do you top that ?

Searched through 12 pages looking for a feedback thread regarding Mike from Chelmsford but couldn't find one. Bought a Peavey Palaedium from Mike this week and the man was great to deal with. I've been in digs with limited internet access all week and had no way of doing a bank transfer Mike took it in his stride,arranged the courier and sent me the bass. Absolute gem of a fella to deal with. Cheers Mike

Have the same bass and my wiring was shot too. It's Vol,Blend,Treble,Bass. Did a thread about using 4 string pickups in a five string couple of month back and it was concerning this bass.Ended up turning it active and using a jazz single at the neck with a Warman jazzblade humbucker for the bridge. Very happy with the results.

[/quote] [color=#221E1F][font=Verdana, Arial][size=3]Lasse Thernøe,the fella in charge of the HB guitars and basses hinted it was thought of at a drunken party.[/size][/font][/color]

Gave up music shops,exercise in futility. Places never have what I need. Highly recommended repair shop Strung Out. Me "morning. I need about 6" of cable for ground wire" Them "Try Maplin" Me "What about flatwounds ?" Them "Just what's on the shelf" Guitarguitar Me "Any flatwounds ?" Them "Errgh" Me "Don't bother I'll check the shelf" Course none both times. Local shop RA Music Me "Any scratchplate screws ?" Them "Try Guitarguitar in Glasgow " 50 mile round trip into Glasgow city centre for screws I can get of eBay for £1.49 ! No chance. Did have a success with Ayr Guitars,in Ayr Me "Any black beauties ? Owner " Naw. I've got Roto Nexus though." Me " What they like ?" Owner "Got a set on my Wal. That's it over there,I'll plug it in so you can try them" Yes I bought them.

That'll be definitely be next. Makes sense as if they moved once it'll happen again. Thanks for your input folks.

Fantastic. I'll pass those on to him.

@MoonBassAlpha That's exactly what happened.They'd come away from the hot glue so I cut nylon jams and fixed them in place with Mitre Mate.

Can anyone recommend some ? Gave a bass to a young fella in Ghana last month and he's asked me about doing Jazz fused Gospel. I haven't the foggiest so I'm hoping for some names he can check out on the likes of YT etc. Cheers KB
