Welcome - we have lots of US members here.

Mr Kent Armstrong asked me what was wrong with what I had, asked what I wanted, and made up a set from his various products to suit me. Then he put it in the post and it arrived next day. Awesome.

Back about 190 years ago when I wanted to play guitar and didn’t see the path of the righteous man towards bass - I had some Kent Armstrong Stratocaster pickups and I ordered them by phone speaking to mr Armstrong himself. Yes, that’s how long ago it was. They were epic, I commend his company to you

Adagio flats from eBay. Cheap as chips and still sounding awesome after three years I checked this on Friday night

We are the human version of a hive mind.

This p bass, flats, roll the tone off a bit

I also ALMOST bought the classic 50s when I tried one in PMT Leeds. Partner said “just buy it” but like a total fool I said “it’s nice but I don’t need it” DOH !

Quality p0rn there

Could you use “hangover lines” like sting did ? Luminlay tape over the top of the next on the fret lines and a short way across the fretboard? That’s virtually free

Same thing over again ? an Ibanez srx595 5 string had I done my homework I’d have known X meant “xtra wide” not suitable for my average sized hands

You are correct, and I agree that they have very good pups @Lozz196 I very, very nearly bought a classic 50s

I feel your pain

Try @NewtoneGB he makes them right in my old back yard https://newtonestrings.com/?v=79cba1185463 he does short and medium scale also

Isn’t there a “not” missing in there ?

I’ve lost interest in listening to music except in the car. I have my own headspace there. I am starting to tire of the music I have there. don’t really talk to people about music, though I will talk about instruments strangely. Partner is very musical but has no interest in playing it as she was forced to do so as a child; she understands my wish to play it, but doesn’t get the rapture that happens

That’s actually not very easy to achieve

You can buy those as fakes, possibly why he was persuaded to buy it himself

Tell eBay using the report function

985£ and your bring your own wood

How much is a limelight these days ? Your generic relic jazz bass build

Not one piece, not highly grained, not book matched, not similarly coloured - unlikely to look great stained I didn’t mean to suggest that they would be ply.

I wouldn’t strip one. Historically lower quality bodies are used for solid colours

Ignore please

Well, you’ve arrived … GAS biting you like a mosquito in Bangkok
