And now I have just bought a 5 string acoustic.............. because............. ummmm................ Even more dangerous is the fact that you sync it up with Amazon payment details so that you can do one click ordering. Oh dear. -

Rats! I would TOTALLY have taken the Uke bass. -
Not the greatest photos but I am aiming to get this done before the I hit the 4 year mark! The two halves of the body are closer in colour than the pictures suggest. I am now using Danish oil + wax cos it is easier than Tru Oil and I like easier.

Yay for building with cheap parts off ebay. It is the best fun.
-
I had one. It was a joy for squelching and rasping.
-
It is a Newtone string. IIRC it is a 120 with a round core. The whole lot are low tension but I am coming round to that the older I get. Less is more.

I have an old P that has had all the varnish taken off the back of the neck. Obviously it is very dirty indeed, but it is far and away the nicest feeling neck I have (in a tactile way). It is just so very SHA-MOOOOOTH. If I was brave enough I would strip back some of my other basses but the whole resale thing then rears it's ugly head.

I met up with Dave tonight and had a bash on the bass prior to finishing it. It is very lovely indeed. The unfinished neck wood feels abolutely superb. Like a smooth velvet. The 33" scale and low tension strings create a lovely springyness that I will hugely enjoy. The B is a complete part of the instrument. Good times!

That body is the bomb! -

LF is GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

I am very interested to hear how these work.

Hmmmm..... thanks Dave. Not quite the angle I was hoping for
-
Yeah, I am getting comfy with the boomerang on the Omnibass but fancy trying the other just to see really. I have the endpin kit for my EUB but I tend to stick with the tripod stand. I cannot imagine I will see the other coming up for sale 2nd hand any time soon so I will prob just have to front up and buy new (ugh!). I share your suspicion that getting either the Omni or the EUB to sit at a DB angle is not going to happen, but the NS stuff is pretty well designed so we might be wrong. The noises on TB seem pretty positive about them.
-
Thanks for the offer, but I live in North Wales so popping over to try anything anywhere never happens I have the boomerang and it works fine with the Omnibass, but I am wondering about this one http://www.basscentre.com/ns-design-interchangeable-support-systems/ns-design-frame-strap-system.html
-
Anyone use one? How is it? Does it hold the thing in a vaguely DB position? Ta, like.

And here is the best value for money on the internet today.

Fralin J5 Pickups - Gone
Owen replied to Owen's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
I am afraid that they are gone. Sorry. -
In ear cans gone.

I am getting a new set of ACS plugs. They no longer make the ER plugs so the set of filters I have will become redundant. If anyone needs filters or earphones for your present ER plugs I am flogging them here. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/254847-acs-er-filters-headphones-for-your-custom-plugs/ I am licensed to flog on the forum

I am changing ear plugs. I am ordering a set of the newer ACS plugs. I have a pair of 9db, 15db and 25db filters. Each pair of filters £50 - (£80 new). The 9db ones are clear but I have drawn an orange line around them so that I could remember which were which. The 15 ones are a pair, one clear, one skin coloured (I lost the original and had to buy another single one - how I laughed). The 25 ones are clear. The 25 ones will not be available until my new set arrive which will probably be 2 weeks-ish) A pair of the in-ear headphones you plop into your ER molds which give you custom in-ear jobbies. - possibly T15 but I honestly cannot remember. Virtually unused. £ 80 or the earphones (£149.99 new) Need them you know you do.

I will take the Zawinul book. How do you want paying. Ta.
