    Cheap deal that

    The best thing about AliExpress is that they'll usually use Evri Cai Niao when it arrives in the UK, so if you pick the option of delivery to a Parcelshop (and you should as they'll lose it, nick it or punt it over someone else's fence otherwise) then it'll take them ages and you get a £1 late delivery coupon per item. I order a lot of cheaper Choice items regularly which all arrive in one bag so for a single £10 or so order I get a handful of £1 vouchers to use. Coupled with the coins I have on there (tap the collect coins every day and you get a few hundred) it'll halve the tax on smaller orders.

    Yeah 20% VAT is added at the point of sale, unless the item is declared* as over £135 that's all you pay. *It never is

    Just looked and mine was £11.25 with £2.25 tax added.

    Wait until you meet the "that looks too fresh to be original '64 solder" brigade....

    You can pan certain instruments to the left or right, it's much better. I use a mono IEM feed at the moment and I do miss stereo, not as much as I thought I would but given the option I'd definitely go stereo if possible.

    Yeah that's the one, will end up a quid or two more after tax. Bargain really.

    Like Fender but better: Honourable mentions to Bolin and Warwick. Always liked the original Zoot headstock too, nice and dinky.

    The AliExpress copy is fine, mine was about £13 and performs the same as the Behringer. The belt clip is a better design, the battery access (while not being perfect) is also better IMO.

    If you Google "6.35mm 7 pin headphone" you can find a few, make sure you pick one with a taller base as most look like they sit flush with the PCB, yours is raised a little. The type B one here might work, then again it might not. Surely half the fun is finding out? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33011028130.html EDIT Cheaper here. plus it's a Choice item so you can buy another £6 worth of tat to get free shipping: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32756981350.html

    Looks like the generic AliExpress locks which are actually pretty good, I have a set on my spare bass: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005511702606.htm

    Was looking at these a while ago, pickups aren't standard 5 string size IRCC, do they catch the B and G strings ok? Ebonol is such an underrated fretboard material, a real shame it fell out of fashion. I have an ebonol board fretless that's seen off some very expensive basses with boutique fingerboards, regardless of what electronics I put in that bass it just nails the sound I want.

    Could you just pinch the saddles of one of the vintage styled bridges, like this? https://northwestguitars.co.uk/collections/bass-bridges/products/hosco-vintage-style-4-string-bass-bridge-with-threaded-saddles

    THE BEST BASS RELATED CHRISTMAS PRESENT WOULD BE THAT 5 STRING MTD FROM THE CLASSIFIEDS.

    Might be an idea to all write down what we want in a large bold font and just leave it on screen when family members are round.

    Just restrung my main bass today and stuck my usual set of D'Addario EXL165-5 on it, the bass came with a very light set of SIT strings which I wasn't fond of. After setting it up how I like I was left with 2.5 to 1.7 with a tiny bit of relief (almost flat) in the neck.
  25. lemmywinks
    This is probably the best idea really, I'd be overjoyed with a ratty old Jazz copy I could have fun cleaning up.
