    EuroSender will take parcels (at the place of your choice) up to 40 kilos to Europe and up to 30 kilos inside UK with real insurance up to 2.000 Euros ! And they can even take your pallet if it's heavier. A link : https://www.eurosender.com/?mod=store&action=cart&on=1&to_id=223&from_id=223&packages=1&pallets=0&lang=en That said 13 kilos is not heavy at all. What about shipping an Ampeg SVT stack rated at 120 kilos...

    Correct, but it's better to use heat-shrinkable sleeve than insulation tape to avoid shortcuts.
  3. Hellzero
    Yes, we want more !
  4. Hellzero
    I will purchase it this afternoon.
  5. Hellzero
    9 basses including 5 fretlesses is enough ... for the moment.
  6. Hellzero
    Repeat mode engaged now. My wife loves the album too. It reminds her of Michael Brooks' Live at the Aquarium.
  7. Hellzero
    Listened to your album twice, really love it all. Too bad it's only 31 minutes long. Is another one on the go ?
  8. Hellzero
    I'm starting the listening right now. Had to put it on CD first to listen to it on my hi-fi system.
  9. Hellzero
    Not a problem if it's a real fretless...
  10. Hellzero
    Too late !
  11. Hellzero
    Hurry up : https://www.bassic.de/kleinanzeigen/warwick-jh-sp-25-jonas-hellborg.13939/

    Like your playing a lot too. Sounds à la Michael Manring, just the way I like fretless. And just bought your album too. Will be listening to it tomorrow. Very nice bass too.

    They are even less fun.
  14. Hellzero
    This could be fun, but the selling price won't be, for sure...
  15. Hellzero
    Unfortunately, the price can't be modified in the title of first post, the rest yes, but not the price. Belle basse, cela dit. Bonne vente ou échange.

    Then simply find the other end and solder it back to eyelet. Removing one or a few more turns will absolutely not change the sound. A picture could help.

    Yes, he is right, but only one is in Europe (Spain) and is sold by a store. But the regular price for a new one elsewhere is £3500 GBP.
  18. Hellzero
    They are indeed : there must be a reason for owning 4 of them at the moment and having owned over 20 over the 3 last decades.

    East is good choice, especially the SPM02 which to me is his best preamp, but out of stock for the moment. And don't forget the Aguilar OBP-3 which can bring life to the Noiseless pickups. Delano, Noll and Richter should be considered too, but you'll need a soldering iron just like for any Aguilar... Forget the Pope Flexcore with these pickups as it's the most transparent preamp to date. Same for the Glockenklang. Here is a J-Retro 01 at a good price as it's new :

    Put on the red light, it's not the right model !
  21. Hellzero
    Funny as I also use Allen wrenches for the strings height : it's so much easier than trying to read a ruler with (our) old eyes.
  22. Hellzero
    Are you sure that this is the correct diagnostic because if the lead is cut or broken, the sound will have gone too ?
  23. Hellzero
    And always retune the whole bass in playing position after each (slight) adjustment.

    I've watched these 4 videos. Interesting indeed, but John Carruthers forgot to mention that the very first point is to perfectly tune your bass with a strobe tuner like the TC Electronic or the Peterson. Then the steps 2 and 4 must be reversed. Why ? Because if you do the action and the nut height before the intonation, when moving your saddles to the right position and filing down or raising the nut will modify the action itself... My little trick is to begin to set the action by the higher pitched string to your taste and put all strings of your instruments at the same height, then raise each next lower string a quarter turn higher than the previous one, so if you have a 6 strings bass, the G will be 1/4 turn higher than the C string, the D being 1/2 turn higher than the C, the A being 3/4 turn higher than the C, the E being 1 full turn higher than the C and the B being 1 and 1/4 turn higher than the C. This way, you'll have a perfect stings radius following your neck radius with just the right amount of height for each string.

    Fodera (sorry to mention them once again) did these setup and maintenance videos. They are very well made and the explanations are clear. And you don't need to own a Fodera to watch them. http://www.fodera.com/how-to-set-up-your-fodera/
