Damn, now I won't sleep tonight.

Thanks for the info, I'm leaning more toward the barefaced kit, as Alex knows his stuff.

I think I'm leaning towards the Big baby 3. Thanks

Ooh I'll see if I can find it.

Thanks for the quick reply, I'm using a grbass one 800 pure amp.I didn't know about the trial period, that could help a lot.

Hello all. Whilst chomping at the bit, to get myself some lighter bass cabs,by gr bass aerotec range, I'm now debating whether to look at the barefaced kit too. Both suppliers are similar prices but the barefaced stock seems easier to get hold of. I'm just checking on here if anyone has compared both brands, and what they think of the barefaced kit. I'm looking at selling my two vanderkleys 210mnts, so want something close to that power. I will email barefaced aswell, but looking for any reviews on here. Thanks

That's a quick reply thank you, no one lost an eye though, but simply annoying

Hello all. I had a nasty surprise over this Xmas break.I had bought a Kala ubass in September from a trusted UK supplier. I had a play on it, the day I bought it home, and all was fine, so I put her in its case, planning to use it for making music at home with some uke friends.I had detuned it a little before doing so. However, when I got it out a few days ago, my bass player friend and I had a quick tune up, and that's when the fun(not) started. Even before reaching it's tuned state, the Headstock decided to part company with the neck, although quite neatly at the nut. I've added pics below, and simply wonder if anyone on here has experienced anything similar. I have seen pics of a Harley Benton with the same fate, although they're in a lower price bracket. I have mailed the supplier and will hopefully get this resolved, although I'll say no to another Kala. Have a look at the pics please, but a luthier contact of mine, seems to think there is a weakness in the wood grain, and with it also being painted (and Chinese) could it have been an accident waiting to happen. Have a great new year everyone anyway.

Thanks for your help

Thank you for that, I'll take some pics later, but it's a busy cavity pot wise

I've just received some Aguilar pickups, and on the wiring diagram, it shows three wires coming from each one, White is main feed, then there is a black down going to the body of the blend pot, and then the grey wire going to the sheilding, it's humming like hell, my question is this, are shielding and earthing not the same thing when it comes to guitar wiring, I'd have thought yes, although a little confused, please send help

Germoline 'secondskin' or 'new skin' is great, stings like hell when you apply it.
