    Not wanting to turn this into a QUmix fest, but is there any way of using more than on tablet (ipad, phone or whatever)? I cannot manage it. I used a Mackie DL for a couple of years and it will run up to 10 tablets. So useful

    Dunno how it is played, but I want it played in my funeral. It does not get any better.

    Thanks, I guessed as much. Everything I desire is expensive

    I would like a company which prints down arms and stuff. I would like a large print running down arms which was only legible when both arms are held straight out. Am I dreaming or is this do-able?

    Someone else mentioned that he is moving premises. Not that I have a clue.

    Mark is the bomb. I am writing this before I even receive the kit, because I just know.

    [quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1490037203' post='3261663'] it's a lovely bass.. I'm just adding the likely cost to you when you had it made, and you're clearly taking a big hit at todays prices.. [/quote] I am taking a hit, but I had the neck made in 88 (ish) and have had good use from it. I have got to the stage when I have learnt that I cannot keep everything and I have a couple of basses which do all I want and need so having others lying around that I will not use just seems silly. I wish that my level of craftsmanship was so well known that I could flog it for £900 but we all know that custom = painful resale and DIY custom = "why did I do that resale?". If I had no other basses I could be perfectly happy with this one. But I have other basses. I also have two vintage Fenders which I have not used in anger for more years than I care to admit, but I cannot bring myself to shift them. I really should.

    I never imagined it would elicit such a response! I am in North West Wales so I don't think I am nearby.

    The Preamp is a http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/all-products/mpm-01.html. It is a buffer preamp with no eq but it makes the piezo work properly. The controls are Vol/Balance neck and bridge magnetic pickups/Tone(pull series [or parallel - whichever it is not])/Tone for piezo/balance magnetic piezo. It has a D tuner on the B to take it down to A and it has no strap buttons because then I cannot stand up. I am talking myself out of this.

    <sigh> should have gone to Luminlay.............

    [quote name='Jimbob01' timestamp='1490019526' post='3261476'] I ordered from Rothko and Frost the white ones as my bass has a dark neck. I still needed to be able to see them in the daylight. Even with a very strong LED light source they did NOT hold a charge for more tham a couple of minutes. Happy with the communication from the company but dissapointed with the product. [/quote] That is exactly my experience. R&F were great, the things do not hold a charge for more than a couple of minutes. Sadly, by the time I paid someone to put them in and finish the neck again I am quite far into the process financially. I totally regret it and one day will have to pay someone else to put dark markers in again.

    [quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1490007167' post='3261348'] Could be one bridge too far, of course [/quote] Cool, a bass with 2 bridges. It is either going to be a double neck or totally radical in a way no one has ever thought of. I am looking forward to it

    Spitfire in the US make a nice vintage scratchplate.

    A long long time ago I had Bernie Goodfellow build me a neck. I wanted a 35" scale neck and he was the only one who would at the time. Birds eye maple and ebony with abalone inlays. I then bolted it to a body and gigged it for a very long time. Then I decided I wanted a different body so I asked Jon Shuker to build me a body from Black Walnut. He sent it to me ready for final sanding and then I sanded it to within an inch of it's life and covered it in numerous coats of Danish Oil. It is loaded with Catwhisker J pickups in EMG sized cases and has a piezo bridge mated to an East piezo buffer. It is very nice really, but I just do not play it. I am fully aware that I am not going to get anything like what I have in it back but I reckon it is worth £600 [url="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160423_155740_zpsgsk0emlt.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160423_155911_zpstqhgfaba.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160423_155832_zpslnfi5i5r.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s8.photobucket.com/user/peredur/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20160423_155756_zpswtwt014t.jpg.html"][/url] If it does not sell then that will not break my heart - so I am not looking for offers beneath asking price really.

    Yes please. Drop me your PP details and lets get it on!
  18. Owen
    Sorry, I keep forgetting to close threads. It has gone. I will edit the title accordingly.
  19. Owen
    It arrived today so I will be on it within the next 3 months given my normal timescales.

    Note: We get quite a bit of rock radio play but never get around to claiming for that either. If you are not registered with PRS then there is money sitting somewhere waiting for you. Get on it!

    My chosen weapon is Bass (Weapon of GAS distraction) so I have no gun stuff going on, but a rifle case would make a great hard case. Something like this https://www.skbcases.com/sports/sku.php?cat=9&pid=175
  22. Owen
    It has a gig bag but nothing firmer. I did look at gun cases which would work but never got around to actually getting one.
  23. Owen
    Much as we all like to think that our special instruments are more special than anything else out there, my guess is that I have overpriced this so it is going down to £800.

    [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1489277073' post='3255750'] No I haven't, but I was interested. They were on my list of strings to try, but this business of trying different strings gets expensive quickly! [/quote] Especially when you have the initials TI in the name

    [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1489050772' post='3253927'] I started this thread... and I have a new favourite string, but this one is MUCH MORE FAVOURITE LaBella White stainless steel nylon tapewound. 750T 50-65-85-105 They have that plasticky feel that tapewounds have but it's easy to get used to, and they're soooooo smoooooth. They're also very bright, they are more like roundwounds than flats. A lot more. They have a beautifully balanced low end and presence... the G string never sounded better. And they are very low tension. If you enjoy bending strings and adding vibrato here and there... these strings make it very easy. I put them on my Jazz and I can't stop playing it. They sound and feel fantastic... [/quote] Oooh! Have you ever played TI Jazz Rounds (not flats). They are also low tension and was wondering about a comparison. I do love TI Jazz Rounds.
