My old Bass Collection is very light as is the Danelectro at 7lb. Retrovibe Evo was a big shock,massive sound from 7lb. The Zygote model didn't weigh much more. Other light basses I had include Tune Bass Maniacs,Cort Curbow & Wilson Sapphire.The Ibanez Ergodyne I set up yesterday was a lightweight too. The Peavey Resolite is under 7lb but they never went into production.

If it's just pot luck then it's pot luck 2-3 times a day for the last 6 weeks Before removing the Netfilter.2 from Windows I was getting the "britmethod" page,Windows Virus Alert or a Gambling pop-up every time I visited BC. Took me ages before the netfilter thing showed up in Malware Bytes. Nothing else in the machine has been changed bar removing the netfilter so I can only assume it was the cause of the trouble on my machine.

In post #33 I mentioned removing Netfilter.2 solved all my troubles. It turned up after a Malware Bytes Anti-Malware scan. https://www.fixyourbrowser.com/removal-instructions/how-to-remove-genvariant-adware-netfilter-2-removal-guide/

Fretless BC Rich Eagle !! No wonder you were worried. My own "6-10 working days" period of sleepless nights just started

I always am impressed by the tradition of Morris Dancers. The fearsome display of ballons,bells and handkerchiefs has this Scotsman terrified

Could it be victim of the CITES regs and waiting on the fella who checks for rosewood etc?

Macc Lads version was called " Fat Bastard". Think reprinting the lyrics here would be frowned upon. So here's a link :-) http://www.metrolyrics.com/fat-bastard-lyrics-macc-lads.html They made the papers when their "business start-up" loan got withdrawn amid claims of racist,sexist songs, well all the "ists" really.

Not a thing I'd do myself but I imagine a decal saves answering the " Why haven't you got a Fender ?" question. Some folks do listen with their eyes and who wants to spend time defending their choice in gear.

BassApprentice Get them. Don't think you'll be disappointed, I'm sure as hell not edit I was gonna start a new post but think it's best to keep this together. First thing the supplier Fret Funk. Can't rate them highly enough,emailed them 11pm Friday about a 5 string set and had a reply by 10am Saturday morning. Placed the order and had the strings by 10am this morning,48 hrs including the weekend is pretty impressive. The strings themselves feel great,they also look great. The photos were taken with my mobile so it doesn't show how vibrant the colour is to full effect. I was swapping from DR neons and the Aurora feel the same,different from the Nexus I normally use. The Nexus I've been finding to bright recently, Auroras are bright but not overkill.Also got a very clear full tone,like they're carrying a bit weight Up and down the strings the winding is even and strung through the bridge they're a perfect size on the 34" scale Peavey Zephyr 5.The strings step down in size so there's no trouble getting them on the tuners.Tension on B is good. Them being £25 is just icing on the cake.Bloody good strings. I'll post back in a month on how they're lasting.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1491762525' post='3275218'] People always cite Fender as the business model to copy (pun intended) regarding John Hall and a possible Squier version yet Fender are $246 million in debt? [/quote] They should sell more T-shirts and beer fridges,the neon bar sign market is too niche

Jus Lukin A mate of mine took the plunge after many years of want . Says it took trying loads of different strings before finding the right set but it was well worth the effort. May sound like a lot of work but why should good things be easy Hell fire I'm in a positive mood today.

I'm with you there Woodinblack. It's their company and market and they like it that way. Often wonder if FMIC didn't make so much money from T-shirts,cables,posters and Vans training shoes etc plugging the brand if they'd have a different view on copies

Going after fakes is fine by me but going after things just because of a similar vibe is out of order. A lot of the time it's strong arm tactics that wouldn't stand up in court but the companies can't afford the legal battle. I do find the Ric police minions highly amusing though

Surprised the ad got pulled. If it was for the "trademark" thing ? Well RIC missed the boat on that years back or there wouldn't be a Rockinbetter in the first place. . Just put the ad back up. The Ric police's mum has probably called them in for their tea by now

[quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1491646836' post='3274529'] That's just a Falkirk thing Couldn't help myself there. Sorry. Dave [/quote]I think you may be fibbing there Dave If no then be glad it's only us bairns affected.

Gonna take a punt myself. Think there might be an Aurora 5 string set and the DR neons on my 5'er are dead. edit Aurora 5 string set was confirmed half hour back so the order is in and I've already received the dispatch email

I've played pubs I was banned from drinking in Could have been the crowd. At closing time a young crowd generally leave as they've parties to go to. Older crowds tend not to get out as much and some don't want the party to end. Drunk Scottish women turn nasty in the blink of an eye come chucking out time.

I'm in Glasgow later today so I'll drop in.

The Mr T Experience album Milk,Milk,Lemonade had the wonderful " I love you but you're standing on my foot", also did " Even Hitler had a girlfriend." Screeching Weasel album " How to make enemies & irritate people." gave us " I hate your guts on Sunday and The Real MacKenzies had their version of "Kill" only it was called "Kilt". Loch'd and Loaded was a good title too. Special mention to The Meteors for " Live,Leery and F***ing Loud" for apt description :-) dlloyd Great band Man or Astroman ?

Volume for each coil same as Musicman passive. [attachment=242286:MusicMan 2xVol 1xTone.jpg]

I bought this Kinsman for £33 from Amazon. Discontinued now but eBay will have them. Need to hit it helluva hard to dislodge the DB. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003BNHJFW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
