    Hi @Richard R, funny you should ask as the project was put on hold as I simply didn't have the time to do it properly, but I'm hoping to resume next week. I took the advice of a carpenter and bought a spindle sander, I think it might be overkill for the job but I dfound one quite cheap so it seemed a better decision than trying to bodge it with saws and handfiles (not suggesting that others would bodge the same job using these tools, I just suspect that I would)! Re holes, I would use dowling but suspect wsome of the builders on here will have better ideas I'll update once things start to happen 👍

    Thanks @walshy 👍

    Someone like Shipley https://www.shiply.com/ would be able to move this around the UK relatively cheaply and safely (there's also @walshy's mate who does man-and-van musical instrument work). I've used them many times to move large items like 3.5x2.5m studio desk and a sofa, the great advantage being that they'll take really large items and that they don't require packaging!

    No amount of bubble wrap stops them losing it

    OK, this has been sitting here at this price for 8-months, I'm getting the hint! I do need to move it out of the sound booth where it currently lives as the booth is being moved on Friday and will be in pretty much permanent use following that. If you can collect it in the next few weeks from my home in Whitstable you can have it for £500. Hell of a lot of amp for very little cash 👍

    I wouldn’t choose this unit in the studio but live it does very well; it’s always a compromise with mic and DB but the Nadine makes it less so 👍

    DPD have dropped down the league table mate for sure
  8. Beedster
    I've been using DPD until recently when they dropped the ball massively, checked my bank re a claim I made and DPD payments appear to go to Parcel2Go now. And yes, I will never use them again, they simply refused to accept that they hadn't collected my packages despite not being able to explain where those packages were and why they'd not been delivered. Steer clear at all costs

    That has made my day @Happy Jack, the basslines that I grew up to. And if you're worried about intonation perhaps go and listen to some AI generated tracks. Personally I prefer to listen to music 👍

    Enfield Fusion Jazz body with 2xQuad PUPs, Badass, 3-band Glockenlang EQ with various push/pull options also. If you want to build a versatile bass, this does everything from Flea BSSM era to Flea Stadium Arcadium era, to Jamerson, to Stanley Clarke, to Bernard Edwards, to..... I could make this simpler by saying that if they played a Precision, a Jazz or a 'Ray, this bass can probably do it! Nicely aged natural oil finish, everything fully functional and undamaged. This is the body of an Enfield Fusion/Avenger built by Sims Custom Shop https://www.sims.guitars/enfieldguitars as opposed to a custom body with Sims Quad PUPs installed. In short the quality of the body, the routes, the circuits etc is as you'd expect given Martin's reputation for high quality work. Further info on this model (which was rebranded from Fusion to Avenger but like all Enfield basses is now discontinued) can be found here https://www.sims.guitars/enfield-guitars/avenger

    43kgs so not light, although built in wheels and rolling bar take some of the stress off. As per pervious post, if I were going to be regularly gigging it in and out of clubs I'd probably rack the head and put a couple of rack panels in the combo 👍
  16. Beedster
    Last bump on this before I take it to a shop for a consignment sale, sadly just a bit too big in both physical size and volume to justify keeping So.... Combo £800 Head £550 (I have an old mesa Boogie 4u rack case that I can provide with it) 2x12 Cab £250 Happy to talk offers or trades on this

    Neck is worth the asking price 👍

    Job done Yamaha showroom 👍 All joking aside, everything Yamaha do is 100% better than the competition

    Soundguys/girls really do have to put up with a load of utter onanists don't they 😀

    Took me a long time to really feel him. Wanted to like him for years because he seemed a cool artist to like or get. But now he's more like a drug; no need to do any more than press play and feel better 👍 Funny thing is I used to think he was a bit inauthentic. Think that was me. He's just playing music after all
  21. Beedster
    Yes, there is that, not uncommon
  22. Beedster
    Great little tools these are 👍
  23. Beedster
    Fantastic @mybass, my music story was similar to yours albeit without the happy ending (and to be honest without the talent also) Gibson Bass and Fender Fretless, very specific !
  24. Beedster
    Long day, feeling a bit stinky poo, nothing serious just first world crap. Then on the radio comes Tom. Feel better already
  25. Beedster
    Yep, that sounds familiar. Never underestimate the effect of even a few seconds of rock-star arrogance between a band member and the venue to scupper future gigs irrespective of how well you went down. I've a mate who I used to gig with who is the most polite and respectful person you could hope to meet. Until around 2-hours ahead of a gig when he arrives at a venue and finds the slightest thing not to his liking and puts on just enough attitude to avoid a direct confrontation while still managing to fosters off people at the venue, IME gigs really can bring out the best or the worst in people, often because of a mix of excitement, anxiety, impatience, and ego. Not me of course, i'm lovely
