Well im expecting it any day now but i must comment on the Bass Centre service. The day after i ordered it i phoned my card number in, to get a set of flats included in the box. no problems they say, we always restring the basses before set up and sending them out, so we will restring with flats, no charge. wow, wow and triple wow. That is service !

Well, i ordered one this morning. i was all set to do it years ago but real life in the shape of a stroke took over. its taken 3 years to stop being a couch cabbage and to find the necessary interest to get back to playing. i did find out that the +£100 for a fretless neck is not for a second neck but for the guys at bass centre to defret the one on the bass you order, so ive got a fretted one. never played a fretless apart from my baby bass, so i will leave that for the time being. any other old buggers here who get the brain fart, chin up it can only get better

Well well, after trying to play a HB, which I found difficult, I found this beaut on a FB group. sounds superb compared to the HB, and a bit easier to hold straight, and it looks the dogs danglies . tried it out with the band last Thursday to positive comments. ( clue to our music is in the name “The Elderly Brothers”) it came with a Beringer acoustic pedal, which I’ve yet to try. any other owners here ? feeling happy

Pickups are normal Telecaster 6 string. David where are you ? tell us all about them no, I’m not on commission

I’ve got his 32 neck on a LP body. Very bass with flats.

Sits nice on my knee or a strap. come round and try it Stew Or nip up, see David and try one

Well , anyone else tried one yet ? Telecaster body and pickups with a lovely shortscale neck. ive not had it long enough (nor am I good enough )to define the sound. BUT I love the look and the sounds I can get out of it with the supplied Rotosound strings. It sits nice and is a real looker to me .

Ok on a big scratch plate ?

Epiphone EB0 with flats and retrovibe 30k mudbucker

I only know it's not a proper English longbow !

Quick one taken in the dark , it arrived 'set up' for rockabilly, with an action higher than I've ever seen ( obviously needed) with a bow but no arrows !

Well it came in a box over 6 foot long, it's very black and very tall. I'm not sure what I expected, but it is better. Scroll head is superb. I will begin learning to play it tomorrow.
