After recording on a dash, Paul died on the lane, that's obvious.

CITES Rosewood restrictions to end on musical instruments?
Hellzero replied to cetera's topic in General Discussion
At last, some people opened the eyes and ears of the bureaucratic people at the CITES. And it was about time. Being a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard lover for my fretless basses, it became a real hassle to buy basses fitted with this wood... And I'm not even talking of selling some of them. Hope this will really take place at the soonest. -
Soon, only £4.000.000 GBP. Hurry up.

Reverse polarity on one of the split coil by simply inverting the two wires. It sounds like they are out of phase.

Bought an Audere JZ3 Pro from Chris. Great communication all along, fast shipping, item as described and fully working. By the way, it's a great 4 bands preamp. 😉 Chris a highly recommended seller. Bye bye 'til the next time.

Interesting concept... spoiler warning - six strings!

This is pure Chinese usual crap, so no Di Marzio inside, but Di Pshit instead... -

I've owned around 300 basses over the last 30 years, here is a non exhaustive list made last year : https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/329699-bldy-gas/?do=findComment&comment=3585197 In the last 12 months, I've been a very compulsive buyer/seller/trader and urm, urm, around 100 basses have come in and out. It's been a crazy year, I must admit, but being a BC active member doesn't help... Now, I try to have not more than 11 basses at home. I mainly play 6 strings fretless basses and almost only luthier or custom models. I'm also a Leduc basses fan as some of you know. I don't think it's a kind of illness at all, but more the will to try as many different basses as I want. I'm buying, selling and trading high end basses and I must say that even if it's a niche market, I've never lost money, on the contrary.

After looking for another wide strap like the SlapStrap by Gerald Reese, my wife offered me this one : It's the perfect match for my yellow Leduc MP628SF and it's as comfortable as the Slapstrap without being stupidly black (and out of stock for years). There are also vegan models and Motörhead signature straps !!! Here is the link to mine : https://www.richterstraps.com/screen/product/guitar-strap-1336 I also got the Loxx strap lock system which is simply the best one to date (no metal noise when moving the strap and only needing one hand to be put on/off the bass when attached to the strap, of course) and very cleverly thought : https://www.richterstraps.com/screen/product/loxx-1429 Now I've got this Loxx system on the Slapstrap too and the end pins on my 3 main basses. The Loxx system is also available with the double anchoring system for those who always forget the strap at home when gigging or rehearsing. Look here for what they are proposing : https://www.loxx-products.com/live/musical-instruments-guitar-strap-strap-locks/music.aspx PS : I'm not affiliated at all to any of the above mentioned brands.

a bit pricey for one machine head
Hellzero replied to winterfire666's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
For this stupid too high price tag, you can have a whole working bass with two of the even rarer 🤔 machine heads of the first generation : https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/annonce-1714486 C'mon, that's just an insane price for a piece of metal. -
ARIES Senes VS 6 Custom Signature, hyper rare, unique model ! Asking price : £2245 GBP !!! In fully working condition and real good condition. This bass has never been modified, except for the changed strap pins. Here are the specifications : Body : 7 pieces with, in order of appearance, red alder top, wenge veneer, maple veneer, mahogany core, maple veneer, wenge veneer, red alder back Neck : 5 pieces neckthrough flamed maple, wenge, maple, wenge, flamed maple Fingerboard : Macassar ebony Frets : 24 Headstock : 3 + 3 Tuners : Hipshot Ultralite Pickups : Aries Custom Neodymium humbuckers Preamp : Aries Custom Solfegio 3 bands 18 Volts Controls : volume (active / passive), blend, bass, mids and treble, 1 switch per pickup for series / single / parallel modes Bridge : Hipshot Type A Strings spacing at bridge : 18 mm Nut : brass Truss rod : dual action Strings spacing at nut : 9 mm Knobs : Aries Custom wood following the same pattern as the body Scale : 35" Hardware colour : gold Finish : gloss Land of craftsmanship : Croatia Serial number : 010109 Year : January 2009 Weight : 5.4 kilos Action : from 1,5 mm under the C string to 2 mm under the B string at 12th position Will come with a generic semi-rigid case. Non-smoking environment, as usual. The Šabić brothers, at the origin of the brand, are, for one, classical luthier and, for the other, electronics engineer. They manufacture instruments of excellent craftsmanship and with handpicked electronic components. Unfortunately, they stopped the production of their always unique and hand-made instruments to work for a brand-name Custom Shop three years ago ... This is, therefore, a unique instrument made to measure for an Italian bassist and I am the third owner. It is an ultra-versatile and super rare bass. The new price in 2009 was around 4.500 Euros… The bass has been fully set up professionally. It has two new batteries and has been fitted with a brand new set of LaBella Super Steps SS45CB strings (29 - 45 - 65 - 85 - 105 - 128). Link to all the high resolution photos and the below sound clip : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1eich-IrjiKGxx3wAHupJPHlKSj_bNxjh Link to a video made by my friend Vincent : Here, a sound clip recorded with this very bass, except for the fretless intro and outro, by the same Vincent : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jezFSCAl3S_3Yl_dNcurxnARbRvVeAZ5/view What you see is what you get ! Look at the pictures taken under different lights to see the real condition : some few marks, especially close to the bottom strap pin and the usual light scratches, but nothing serious at all. Don't hesitate to ask for more.
