  1. I am killing time in the vicinity before going in at 6.30. I am tragically excited I have also managed to get to the Gallery, cross Dingwall off my GAS list (a fine instrument, just not for me) but unexpectedly add Alleva to it. It has been, and is going to be, a good day. If anyone else is going to be there pm me your mob and we can......... um ........ say "hi".
  2. My DB needs are met by that thing in my avatar, and I have an NS5 and and Arco EUB so I am fully covered for the DB esque tone. I like the way my hands sit playing vertically and I also like the curvature of the fingeboard for my right hand. I like the idea of a 41/42" scale length for the fat strings. I'm sure a bottom F# would work quite happily on an EUB but the thought of a fretted one is intriguing. It would be a different flavour.
  3. [quote name='neilb' timestamp='1317666392' post='1393036'] I would. [/quote] [quote name='Mcgiver69' timestamp='1317669842' post='1393132'] I hate her recorded music, always over produced and noisy but live she is something else. I love her when she is singing with a live band, wow just wow. And yes I totally would!! [/quote] Oh, please, do we have to?
  4. Thanks Clarky. I could big it up till the cows come home, and what you said would have been my guess, but I do not actually KNOW.
  5. I have not had any experience with the Aguilar/BF combination so cannot make a meaningful comment - however IIRC Clarky runs just that so I will ask him to chip in.
  6. [quote name='rockabillybob1' timestamp='1317413415' post='1390609']do you do the inovation super silvers[/quote] 'Fraid not.
  7. Resale value? Not always an issue, obv, but it is pretty low.
  8. I have a Seymour Duncan MM5 replacement that I could flog you.
  9. [quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1317286404' post='1388938'] You could look for a second hand Hohner Steinberger clone and put it on a stand - would probably work out cheaper. [/quote] I am thinking about the curvature of the fingerboard as well. I do realise that I did not put this in the original post
  10. Anyone tried/own one of these? There are a lot of things that make me more comfortable on an upright instrumental position. The idea of frets as an option is attractive. http://thinkns.com/instruments/omnibass.php
  11. [quote name='[email protected]' timestamp='1317135750' post='1387177'] Not quite that sophisticated, just the subscribe to forum button! [/quote] Ho hum It was exciting while it lasted
  12. [quote name='[email protected]' timestamp='1317038184' post='1385702'] The subscribe button is my friend! [/quote] So you can set up an email reminder if an item you are looking for comes up? How? That is too exciting for words!
  13. This is a neck I bought here in a fit of excitement. You know how it is. I was going to build myself the ultimate J5. Then I remembered that I have virtually no woodworking skills and very little spare time. D'oh! What was I thinking? As you can see the headstock has taken a hit, but the repair is solid and it is all good. I have no idea what the machine heads which go in here are and I do not have any. It is a nice piece of wood on the fingerboard. Need it you know you do.
  14. [quote name='deanbean502' timestamp='1316945864' post='1384554'] no pictures is the problem i think [/quote] That is a fair point. I have been doing this for long enough to know better!

  15. You should have an Aguilar TH500 on that list. Then you could buy mine
  16. Mine is 3 stacked pots. One collar is the pan control. If you wire your pickup into one side of that and leave the other side, I presume it will work as a single pick up thing.
