There are always times when you'll need a 4 string! 😉 -
Sale agreed now on hold. Orange Terror 1000 watts
petergales replied to stewblack's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
I used one of these in a rehearsal room last week and I have to say it was thunderously loud! I couldn't turn anything up past number 1! Good luck with the sale. -
Great cabs these. I use two of them and they can handle whatever you throw at them. Don't be put off by the 300 watt rating, they have the ability to sound huge. I especially appreciate their light weight when there is a long way to load in or there are flights of stairs to negotiate. Good luck with your sale. -
AKG D112 Mic
petergales replied to petergales's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
Based in Leeds but could post the mic as I have all the original packaging. Stand would have to be picked up because of the weight? Kind regards Pete -
For sale at £75 is an AKG D112 mic in mint condition. Comes with clip, manual and original packaging. Selling because the band I used it in has split up, so I've no further use for it. Can post if required. I've also a mic stand if required but that would need a pick up because of the weight - £25 extra.

+1 Couldn't agree more. £ for £ it beats a USA Fender hands down.

These are superb jazz basses, very very playable. Wouldn't part with mine. GLWTS

And replied.

Thank you, kind sir. It's a brilliant bass at what I think is a fair price although I'm open to offers.
-
Thanks for posting that. The link didn't work in my post. It really does show how good this bass is. Kind regards Pete
-
Thanks to all you guys who responded to my post. Once again Basschat comes up trumps with some excellent advice. I really appreciate such well-informed comments and as a result I'm going to leave well alone and either pursue a sale or a part-ex. Kindest regards to you all Pete
-
Thanks for your reply. The simple answer is I'm not at all hands on to the degree necessary so wouldn't attempt it.
-
Hi Andy Think I'll just leave well alone and go for a sale. It's in the For Sale thread so I'll leave it a while longer or just withdraw it and hang on to it.
-
Thanks for your input. It's really appreciated and I think I'll leave well alone and keep pursuing a sale. Kind regards Pete
-
Hi Andy Some very sensible comments you've made. I think I'll take them on board and just leave things as they are and persist with the sale. Kind regards Pete

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I was surprised, when I checked it, to see that the stated spec was only 40mm. The distance from the string to the fingerboard edge I measure to be 5mm. I bought it new but it was about a couple of years ago.
-
Thanks for your reply. To answer your questions 1. I would only want to increase the taper from the 7th fret to the nut. 2. It would probably need a refret of some length of the neck, perhaps from the 6th fret to the nut. 3. There is quite a generous margin between the strings and the fingerboard edge so the existing string spacing may not need to change. I hope that answers your questions adequately Kind regards
-
Thanks Paul. I think I'll do just that. I do have a luthier locally, however, that I use for my repairs and mods who is confident he can do it.

Sell the bass? Definitely an option as I have some very nice instruments including a Fender CS 64 Jazz that has a very comfortable neck and curiously wider than the Elrick at the 12th fret (58mm v 55mm) but slimmer at the nut by 4mm. Also a recently purchased new Overwater Progress 3 that has a great neck and slimmer than the Elrick all the way up the neck. Contact the manufacturer? I once tried to make contact with Rob Elrick but got a very curt response, so I wouldn't think I'd get much joy there. The official spec for the bass gave a nut width of 40mm but when I measure it it's 43mm. A luthier? I have a luthier who lives not too far away and does all my repairs and mods. I've spoken to him and he reckons he could do it but I thinking about the points you made previously about dot positions etc. The other thing is that I would probably lose the MOP side markers. But thinking about it, he could probably make me a new neck to my spec and, that way, I would still have the original if I wanted to sell the bass later. Your thoughts are much appreciated and I'm very grateful for them. Kind regards Pete
-
Thanks for your reply but I'm not sure a replacement neck would be readily available.
-
Thanks for your reply. The string spacing is fine. I use the thumb-behind-the-neck approach mainly but also the blues grip at times. Either way the first few positions tend to give me hand cramps.
-
Thanks for that advice. You've made some very good points that I hadn't thought about. I think my best move would be just to try to sell it for what I can get, or maybe use it as a part/ex for something more suitable.

Is it possible to reduce the width of a fretted neck by shaving it down? The bass I have is 43mm at the nut and is just too wide for my hand. I like the bass in terms of tone but don't play it as much as I should because of the width issue. It would need to come down by as much as 4mm to be ok for me. It's a bolt on neck. Is it worth doing or should I just take a hit and sell it at a loss? It's an Elrick ex-pat 4 string and I've had it up for sale on this site for a couple of months now with no interest shown. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
