Yo Kev I bet there were no queques going into Essex Looking good. Peter (Essex boy)

Peavey T-40 is far more punk

That's kind of you Alan. I might have a car full of nubile young creatures though

I'll see if I can drum at some support at Uni Al Peter

Just got mine and I'm playing with it. Amazing!! Any updates/resources on these beasts? I see you've sold yours Steve. Peter

[quote]About an inch.[/quote] What's the scale length going to be when you've finished Wayne? This is how I did my Warmoth, much better than wood screws imo. [url="http://www.manchesterguitartech.co.uk/hardware.html"]http://www.manchesterguitartech.co.uk/hardware.html[/url] Peter

As they are hand wound in the UK I'd guess Newtone makes them. Newtone are great strings. Peter

Alan You reminded me of how nice that Lakky was now. Wow!

I'm liking that

I don't think I'll be rushing to upgrade. Sounds like more of the same, which is a good thing. Peter

[quote]The last time I was happy with my gear, playing etc was when I got my '72 4001. Through my Trace AH150 (original series) and 4x10 (likewise) it was the sound I'd always had in my head; the old band was playing a lot, I was in great physical shape, was playing for hours a day, was on top of my game in all ways except in terms of theory. When my back problems started I had to sell the rig and I've never been happy with my sound since. None of the lightweight solutions I've played so far have "my" sound. I hardly get any practice in now for reasons many and varied, my back and neck appear fairly knackered and I now seem incapable of making my right arm do exactly what it's supposed to for a whole set, the band I'm in struggles to get gigs (and appears to be cursed in terms of personal disasters!), you name it, it's crap. In fact recently I was beginning to struggle with the concept of playing at all as all it seemed to do was make me miserable. Still, we plod on, hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel. That's my happy post for the day.[/quote] Hehe, if you ever need to fondle a CS I've got one as you know and you're welcome - C64S too. I have a very lightweight Bass Collection that is probably going on the market soon too. Peter

I've met Tom a few times now and he really is a very nice bloke. As the previous poster said, one of lifes good uns Peter

The GS112's are very good indeed

Mrs Terri Tinman hey Me I'm totally sorted. My ACG Harlot, LMII and 2 x Aguilar GS112's (one NH) do it for me very well thank you. A decent fretless is something I aspire to play though. Peter

If I wanted or needed a light bass I think I'd be enquiring if a UK luthier could build a chambered swamp ash bodied bass. Failing that it'd be NYC and Roger Sadowsky methinks. That all means waiting of course. Otherwise it's that 2nd hand market again. A special bass, that's the answer imo Get a bass made for YOU Alan You'll not look back. Peter

But, if they both have the pre, then any difference will presumably be the chambers? Peter

Isn't it just the NYC Sads that are routed out? Having owned a Sadowsky Metro and both US and Skyline Laklands I'd go with what Marcus says. If you want a lightweight Sadowsky though I think you may need to go NYC. Peter

[quote]Are your ideas in some way related to a post I saw about fretless Wals or is it to early to reveal?[/quote] Possibly

Good to see another 4 string singlecut bass. Very nice. Peter

[quote]Be warned though I do wear my heart on my sleeve and say things exactly as I see them......I often find its best that way.[/quote] +1 on that
