  1. Yes please. PM me your payment preference.
  2. It was not my finest moment. I totally feel your pain though. I was not trying to trump your misfortune.
  3. I managed to break two expensive B strings once. It turns out that I was squashing them into the side of the string box. I am not suggesting this is what you did, but putting it out there for info.
  4. I have the drop d hipshot thang on my bass. It goes from bottom B to A in a fabulous way. You do have to bend right down to use it and you will not be as easy to slide back up as a hipshot on a plank.
  5. The man is a Don.
  6. If anyone fancies this then a courier will do it for 15ish. It does not need to be packed. It is a flight case. The courier will take it as a challenge. And the flight case will win.
  7. That's me told
  8. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED BY ASHDOWN. I HAVE ALSO BEEN QUOTED BY JAMES DEMETER ON TB. The rest of you can pack up and go home now. I have won.
  9. It's gonna be great. i love cake.
  10. I was listening to a Podcast with Guy Pratt who mentioned that these look like this cos Mr Ashdown loves Wem stuff and did them as a bit of an homage.

    Compressors

    Setting a compressor to make your bass sound fabulous is a tricky business. This is why I like the Spectracomp so much. Someone who knows how has actually done all that tedious stuff and it just works for me. I make no apology for my technical ineptitude. I just don't get it. But I do get great compressionish stuff with the TC.
  12. Shipping to the Netherlands is my favourite thing! It is as new. I will do loads of pics in a moment.
  13. Sorry, I am letting my grief derail your thread. Yours also looks very tasty!
  14. The aesthetics were very right. As far as I am concerned, if the aesthetic is that good then the design has to be there or thereabouts. I still kick myself for deciding 2 hours to late. As I said, if you are out there, do the right thing and sell it to me. The seller took the pics down. I only have one in a PM. Do I need to get out more?
  15. There was an MPU headless on here last year which I ummed and ahed about for too long and missed it. If whoever bought it is reading this thread then PLEASE sell it to me.
  16. I might have mentioned that I have to try them all. Here is another. It is an API (Neve kind of stuff, but American) bass preamp. It has 3 bands of Eq (switchable) and 6 position Compressor (switchable). It has a line out and a balanced DI out. It is full of transformers (for the TOOOOONE) and is built like a tank. It has variable gain and output volume. It is a lovely piece of kit and very well thought out. Just to demonstrate my maturity I am resisting any robot/disguise jokes. Quite fancy it you know you do.
  17. Your scale, but tuned at bass pitch - hmmmmmm..............
  18. It is just as well that I do not live anywhere near you.
  19. Of course I could just buy the 2nd hand one on here. Actually, I could not.
  20. I have a Korean MTD which cost me £180 2nd hand many years ago. It has my favourite neck, is super light and just resonates in a way I REALLY like. However, the pickups are......lacking. So plumbing something Smithesque in would be fun.
