    I have one, it is very good, possible to plug in your mic for your volume and eq and then a line out to the main PA ….it took me a while to sort that out. I position it on a low mic stand about 3 feet away facing upwards to me/my mic.

    Yes! Percy Verence won in the end. Thanks for supporting John. Tanya sent your correspondence to me to show distribution was now going though whatever Proper will be like will be another matter. Hope you enjoy, tell the world even 😃

    After a few emails from me to MIG in germany they have just informed me that UK distributor 'Proper Music' have re-started distribution....hopefully your local shop can now order it for you?

    It does seem to be down to the driver attitude…pre Evri it was called Hermes and our local driver was without blemish and was seen on the road all day doing local deliveries, stuff arrived when it was supposed to.

    Jimothey.....Not Flatwound.....as printed on the box...."Bright Tone Roundwound". For me they are not as roundwound 'rough' as some makes. No pictures because each B string for sale is still sealed inside each box....Thanks

    I'm just today dealing with an email back from the German record company telling me that Proper Music are not distributing the CD anymore....nobody told the band....as usual! Please let me know if rough trade can get one from Proper Music in case they had some left. Apologies from the band but not for Proper Records or MIG !
  7. mybass
    No further reply from MIG yet.....did you try your shop at all whether they can or cant find it through Proper?
  8. mybass
    Apparently the UK distributor has them in stock....'apparently'...if and when you are passing your record shop ask if they can order one....I'm told there are two sites for seeing available stock, the one we see and the one retailers see so maybe your store can make a n enquiry?

    Micky……Ye gads, a front room playing experience and for money 🤣

    MIG got back to me and they are investigating their UK distributor 'Proper Music' as they, like me, cant find it on the 'Proper' website page. MIG told me it is on Amazon which doesnt help you.....more to follow but I would have hoped you could order from a record store.

    I’m flattered 😀. thankyou. The CD is re- released by M.I.G. a German company… I've just emailed MIG to find out who they are using for distribution in the UK. MIG Music is on Facebook….Visitor will be on those pages along with a short sound track video I made for them, I couldn’t copy it across from FB. Good luck…it still sounds er, um, busy!

    Macassar ebony fingerboards on my own make of fretless basses, D’Addario XL roundwound strings, no problems, the occasional sanding of the fingerboard once in a blue moon, much like any guitars’ reset of frets/fboard. Practice scales and sing along with them, you’ll see how your tuning is then! This was old advice from my very reputable double bass tutor many years ago.

    Good combos...I also ended up using mine as a vocal monitor!

    NEW post addition..........Anyone wanting all four of them? I'll cut the pricing down to £23 includes UK postage...I don't want them going to waste.....or £5 each plus post. £8 for each B string single .... I have four individual B strings all taken out of five string sets as pictured. I'm only using the E to G strings from these sets so these B strings are new/unused. £8 per string plus postage.....maybe a deal if you buy all four strings.

    My parcel was almost ripped to shreds across the top of the package showing the bubble wrap lining. It has obviously caught on sorting machinery or run over!

    Evri 'not a delivery' but left outside the gate in the rain, ripped open and badly torn, no wonder the driver 'chucked and ran', thankfully the order of the cable is robust and inside its own plastic bag. Purchase company advised not to use in future (expensive parts, mics etc would have easily fallen out). I was surprised my name/address label was still intact. I did have a decent Hermes driver before who delivered to our door, not any more.

    I wonder if any Basschatter has my old Gibson Les Paul bass….I had ‘Knight Guitars’ in Weybridge Surrey change the neck to a new long scale, a bass clef insert was added at the 12th fret and they used the original headstock veneer too. It was great job, as if it came from an original Gibson build.

    I swapped a Gibson EB3 tobacco sunburst for a Ricky 4001 stereo and just didn’t get on with it so I sold/px it in for a Gibson Les Paul bass and then I had Dick Knight (RIP) replace the the neck to a long/34” scale neck with bass clef inlay at the 12th fret (was I the first to have that sort of inlay done?).
  19. mybass
    Is this still available?
  20. mybass
    Pm’d

    I PM’d last weekend….Any news?

    Unfortunately ‘eastern’ necks are not to be trusted for 100% quality. As a ‘test’ project I bought one off EBay around £80 and it was absolute rubbish, good firewood though…(a double bass bow many years ago was already bent on arrival). The Fender ones seem absurdly expensive from a U.K. shop mentioned earlier, you may as well buy a full Fender bass for the same price (and take the neck off and sell the rest on 🥴). I would think your Allparts supplier would do the job.

    I just tried Chris….and I never knew either 😀

    All the best Oldman..

    Maybe call a publisher and ask what the usual way of working is applied….many authors (of non fictional books) quote from other sources and list the ‘Thanks to’ authors at the end of the book.
