  1. Go to a bicycle repairer, cheapskates, and get an old rubber handlebar grip from their bin FOC, slit it down the middle, ease it on, tape it up 10p for the tape used. Job done.
  2. Can you see your face in my neck, yet, Andy ?
  3. Last 4 or 5 days its been Kate Bush's ' Symphony in Blue and ' Moving ' because of those stupendously fab bass lines by David Paton. That tone and the mix for his bass is just something else. Under headphones they'e sublime But it's cracking my walnut. Not because i dont like the songs, but because i just cant get them out of my head. ..ang on. Cant Get It Out Of My Head ? No.....!!!! Na na na na Oh hell..
  4. Marshall never bought Trace Elliot. First buyers were Kaman in '92, who were in fact the USA distributors for TE at the time. Gibson were the next owners in '98, then Peavey '05
  5. When it's real roadworn, then it has real mojo. As opposed to instruments that are ' reliced ' at the build point, which is just sad
  6. By the way, wild bass player Andy Crawford now works in wood, and very nice too https://www.fine-boxes.com/
  7. Still got some photos of mine - now sold - and the classy boxes that my Armstrongs arrived in. Yes, i chose white covers
  8. Damn good prices Mike. Damn good.

  10. Looking forward to it. With Reiner in the writer/director chair, plus original band members, i think it will be top notch. St Hubbins was the patron saint of quality footwear
  11. Had a lovely deal with Mark, selling him my MLD preamp/D.I No fuss, didnt try to beat me up on the price. Simply paid up and that was that. A scholar and a gent Trade with Mark with 100% confidence. The feedback says it all
  12. I had Armstrongs in my twin pup SB900 when then original 80's one died on the treble side. They are superb, they were cheaper than Rautia, and had them in 2 weeks, as opposed to 3 months
  13. Nah, play it right handed , upside down, and strings back to front. Easy peasy
  14. Bravo !! Encore !! Encore !!
  15. That looks as black as black can get, so if you think you can coat the whole neck, despite some faint residue of the Fiebings, then quink away sir. That could be a service for you in the future. " Necks quinked, enquire within " Yah ?
  16. Horrible look, FF basses. As for playing one, judging by the answers, the lord giveth and then the lord taketh away.
  17. Keep an eye out for a Wal Mk2 will ya Dave ? Cheers
  18. Great info sprock
  19. Excellent stuff sprock. And you get to play that brilliant Del boy bass line on Kashka.
  20. I think you'll find Water bloke already posted about that
  21. What a bottomer 🤕 Plan A then Andy
  22. Yeah i saw a few of the band vids and noted that
  23. I'm afraid not. I'm ok for fretted basses
  24. Does anyone have Entwistle JBXN jazz pickups in their bass , and has anyone changed the covers ? Firstly, I was thinking of dumping a pair of JBXN's in a bass, but wondered if they just dropped in ? I know they're a tad deeper than regular ole JB pickups, but my concern is mainly with the lengths and the widest part of the screw mount distance front to back. The other thing is covers. A few times in the distant past, iv'e changed covers for some bought on Ebay or whatever, and the poles never seem to line up with the replacement covers. If anyone has changed theirs, did your JBXN pole pieces line up ok with the holes in the new covers ? If you can help, lovely
