SpondonBassed

Welcome Chef.

Plus one for the John East four knob pre. I have a Ray34, courtesy of @Dov65, with a Nordstrand 4.2 and the East pre. It has a beautiful voice. From the low and growly to the upper harmonics, it sounds enormous. I love the mid sweep.

Miracle Clackers all 'round then.

Paul contacted me after seeing my wanted ad for bass parts. He had two bodies, a neck and two lots of assorted hardware for free. He very kindly delivered free of charge. We had a great chat on the doorstep too. Top fella.

Welcome to the forum Oscar. I've had Newtone make a set of Double Ball End (DBE) strings for me.

You might find that everything is about three frets to the left... it's like that hanging on the strap though. I got used to it a few years ago but I've since gone back to more traditionally styled bodies.

Great hat!

Welcome Paul.

Gibson. All of it.

Welcome Rich.

Welcome Thomas.

I must thank Dave for his generosity. He wrote a little while ago saying that he had a few more "bits" for my spares drawer. I was delighted to accept. This time he refused any sort of contribution to postage or charitable causes. He's only sent me a Musicman Stingray in a Musicman gigbag! It's in top condition. All I had to do was put in a fresh battery and tune up. It's been upgraded with a Nordstrand pup and an East pre-amp. It's got Dunlop strap locks and Hip-shot tuners. It sounds flipping brilliant! Many thanks Dave, I'm chuffed to bits.

I love this.

Welcome Malcolm (again).

You need to loosen your loincloth...

Yes?

Then that's factually incorrect also as aircraft never have wings of steel. It's far too heavy. Maybe that's why you only seem to crawl?

Have you got a mouse in your kitchen?

Our chiropodist uses one.

Welcome Hans.

Stop being cruet you lot!

I can't unsee that now. I hope you're happy with yourself young man!

Welcome Tomas.

Welcome Eric.
