I have a set of Newtones on one of my 33" and a set of Elixirs on my other. Both are quite low tension, but that is what I like.

If people REALLY REALLY want to chip in then Roger (Bassace) is the chief financial officer.

Or even a Grace Alix Preamp (half a Felix without a mike input). http://www.gracedesign.com/products/alix/alix.htm# Oooooooooof!

Good times! Need list Rob Allen Mouse Grace Felix pre amp Arnopol cab Remote control adjusters so that I can go from a super low action to a high one depending on the song. Takamine B10 or something. Thanks to you all for coming.

You can turn up late and be given a special welcome. We can be like roadies and empty your car (if it will be anything like last time).

Ho hum, always late to the party!

[quote name='Mr Bassman' timestamp='1475247733' post='3144435'] Yes, if I can get there I'll bring the Flex Pre and the Clarus SL-R Won't know for definite until tomorrow but I'm hopeful. What time does it start? [/quote] I think we are aiming to roll in at about 10am, but it is all very flexible

Is he friendly enough to let you bring it on Sunday?

Their clear orange over a nice piece of plain wood with the "wood binding" is a joy to behold.

[quote name='BassDeLune' timestamp='1474291379' post='3136855'] Thanks both. I'll let you know if/when I find out if I'm going [/quote] So, do I need to pack the NS5?

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1475055721' post='3142600'] Surely, and in the true spirit of Brexit, we now need someone who can discuss [i][b]British [/b][/i]bowing ... [/quote] I am resisting the temptation to discuss Brexit on a public forum!

[quote name='neilp' timestamp='1475052654' post='3142562'] Well, it wasn't the Berlin Phil, but I've finally been offered a dep with a chamber ensemble I've been working on for years (literally!) so I'm afraid I won't be coming. Sorry! Shame as I was looking forward to meeting everyone. Next time for sure...... [/quote] So you are passing up a chance to geek-out to the max so that you can go and function in the real world? Very wise Just for the record we now need someone to step in to discuss French bowing. Anyone? Obviously this will not be a lesson as such, just a basic introduction for people who fancy using a bow but have never had access to anyone who actually knows how they work. I can do very basic French bowing stuff if it comes to it, but someone who actually uses one in anger would be more use.

Excellent news Phil. See you there.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I use Innovation Honeys on mine but a student had a set of solo tuning Obligatos on hers and with the bass eq knob whacked up they were lush beyond. I am struggling to not buy a set.

[quote name='Hector' timestamp='1474626514' post='3139325'] I'm quite lax in fingerboard cleaning, bit of baby oil every now and again. [/quote] WAIT! People clean and oil their fingerboards?

Does anyone have an unrequited object of DB GAS? If we noted it here we might find that someone has one and could bring it. I will go first. I have always wanted to try a Rob Allen Mouse or Deep 5

That sounds very nice indeed. I used an AI for ages on DB and it hit the spot every time. Ooh ooh ooh ooh you have a mouse! If you come to the DB Bash could you bring it with you? It one of the few things left on my "I need to try that" list.

Nope, but I like how it looks!

Thanks, I will go and look at GFS now. And Ebay for 2nd hand humbuckers. Cos I play so much guitar that I need good tone. As if! But I cannot stop myself.

I have a 73 with an A neck. It was only when I got it that I realised why I just could not get with my othwr P. Jazz nuts 4lyfe

I fancy one now. Thanks everyone
