Hello all, Due to the sad lack of use this bass is currently getting I am putting my Decade up for sale. I've had it for nearly a year, but i've only been using my P bass for some time so it may as well go to a good home. This is the active bass with chi-sonic pickups, but it features an active/passive push/pull switch on the volume control. The silver switch is to switch between series/parallel. The controls are, from neck to bridge, volume, treble, blend, mid, bass. The body is mahogany and fretboard rosewood, strung through body. It has one of the nicest, fastest necks I have ever played (or maybe thats just compared to my clunky old P). It also comes with an exceptionally light weigh armourdillo hard case a Lakland strap and strap locks. Weight is 3.15kg It is in very good condition, with the exception of a rather nasty ding just below the casing on the back, it was there when I got it, its never bothered me but i've been told it can be fixed for about £50. The only other noticeable markings are 2 very tiny dings on the headstock, I have done my best to picture these too. If your local I highly recommend giving it a try!

The last gig I played, during one of our songs our guitar player switches from acoustic to electric half way through. Everything sounded great, until it was time to rock out the electric which he had somehow tuned half a tone down from the rest of the band. Watching 100 or so people cover their ears when it kicked in was pretty embarrassing!

I'd be over the moon if I ever made enough money from a band that I had to worry about tax!

But do cheese strings sound better? I'll have to give that a go... Any suggestion as to some nice doublesk sounding strings to pop on an acoustic?

[quote name='Legion' timestamp='1337710669' post='1664399'] Not that I'm really in your area (if I was you would be welcome to try)... I did buy & sell my passive Humbucker here. Both the single coil and humbuckers are a great sounding bass. Personally I preferred the single coils (and the dark star one I had even more). The necks are awesome, as long as you like that "slim-jazz-neck-thing" although the US laklands have a different feel to the skylines. This has been relisted and still didn't sell..might be worth contacting the seller?

I actually saw it on Ebay, I had heard some about some dodgy goings on with decades on Ebay but it was just about close enough for me to pick up so I took a punt. I didn't win the auction but luckily no one met the reserve, so I emailed the seller and picked it up today! I think he had it from new. The neck is lovely and quick, and somewhere between a P and a Jazz i'd say, very playable! i'll give you a few more thoughts on the sound when i've had longer to play, it sounds so different to my P that it's taking some getting used to, but i like it!

Hello! Bit of a coincidence this! Literally just got one today! Sorry to further your gasing, but it sounds amazing! not like anything i've ever played! Not even sure how i'm going to use it yet. It's an active one with humbuckers, but you can turn it into the passive model with single coils with the flick of a switch. I'm in Brighton if you ever fancy a go! Jay

[quote name='Leon Transaxle' timestamp='1337637188' post='1663423'] Failing that try Halfords* for a box they received a bike in. Perfect length, just cut it down a bit. *other bicycle shops are also available [/quote] Thanks! I'm sure i'll be able to sort something out now! [quote name='SkinnerSAZ' timestamp='1337638375' post='1663441'] [sub]How much to courier with the spare case to Rugby?[/sub] [/quote] I haven't done it before but i think about £20-25, however there are a couple of other people interested already, if they do happen to fall through then i'll let you know!

Have I asked a silly question?

I've been checking out some Kala Ubass's and can't believe the tone you can get out of them! Apparently all that deep tone is coming out of the polyurethane strings. In the absence of £300-400 sitting around to buy one, I was wondering what those type of strings might sound like on my regular acoustic (not double). So two questions I suppose, Do long scale polyurethane strings exist? Would they work/sound good on a regular acoustic bass? Any comments much appreciated! Thanks
