    [quote name='BassBod' post='959420' date='Sep 17 2010, 01:39 PM']Quick update - new E string arrived from Pyramid in 3 days..now fitted and still intact, half an hour after getting up to pitch. Fingers crossed! Full marks to their customer support. Quick and helpful responses to email, from a real person (who I think is the company owner?).[/quote] ... and is the string still going strong?

    [quote name='Doctor J' post='936467' date='Aug 25 2010, 09:42 PM']So you get a few nice basses, where do they live? On the wall? No, that's just asking for trouble. In a case? No, they need to be accessible and that would look awful. So what do you do, where do they go? In the Bassdrobe™, that's where. Not quite gear porn unless D.I.Y. gets you jolly, but there it is anyway [/quote] When will these be available from IKEA?

    [quote name='walbassist' post='960924' date='Sep 19 2010, 08:50 AM']Looks like a medium scale E string was packed with a long scale set to me. I've never had that problem with the La Bella sets I've used in the past or now.[/quote] +1. In each of my La Bella sets all four strings have close to the same length of non-silked string.

    Well done Chris. I think I may have to get rid of the EUB and go down this road myself.

    [quote name='Phantomnin' post='961134' date='Sep 19 2010, 01:05 PM']I bought this because my neighbour was complaining about the noise waking their baby, but they are now moving out. PJB Bass buddy, only 3 months old. Hi fi quality headphone amp. 5 band eq. Compressor, Active/passive input switch, Auz input with seperate volume control. Line out and even a speaker out if you want to use it as a micro head. Comes with all the gubbins it originally came with : Padded gig bag, Power cables and even the 2 9v batteries if you want to use it for busking. I even have the box. This is is Very good condition except for one tiny scratch on the top (3mm hasn't gone through the coating.) It's bomb proof and it sounds crystal clear. Sold for £160 or £150 for cash on collection. Cheers Drew[/quote] Looks like the head from a PJ Bass Briefcase.

    [quote name='essexbasscat' post='959913' date='Sep 17 2010, 08:52 PM']This one has come up on the band's setlist. Just checking out the song for vocals etc and found this performance by the Tremeloes. It's obviously live, with all four band members harmonising. I often refer to the studio recording to get a good drift of a song, but in this case, the live performance is actually better, which is reason why I'd like to share this nice piece of musicianship with you all. For anyone that enjoys it [/quote] That's a tremendous performance.

    Very nice.

    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='957692' date='Sep 15 2010, 09:02 PM']Best of all is trying to play fretless bass in a band built around a slide player. You end up using new definitions of "in tune".[/quote] Agreed, that can get quite spicy.

    Well, as you all already know Clarky is a total star. I bought his VT Bass and he even included a discount because the instruction card was a little bent. Top man.

    [quote name='vincesb56' post='956545' date='Sep 14 2010, 09:02 PM']BASS GUITARIST Wanted, U2 tribute band seeks a new Adam Clayton. You will need to be a U2 fan, able to rehearse at least once a week and be serious and committed. A resemblance to Adam Clayton is an advantage but not essential! There is a lot of interest from venues and this is a long-term project so we are looking for a competent, motivated player. u2tribe.com.Contact Vince for more details. Shoreham, 07828285051 or [email protected][/quote] Hi Vince. Good luck with finding someone. Dave

    [quote name='Clarky' post='956468' date='Sep 14 2010, 07:57 PM']Happy Jack, commenting on my 72 P bass at a recent mini-beer/bassBash, said he could not take lilac silks seriously but I am comfortable in my metrosexuality [/quote] Against the black headstock on my Lakland Decade, the lilac looks very manly.
  15. EssentialTension
    It may be fretless but it's also just a bass guitar. You can use it on anything.

    No problem with Pyramids here.

    [quote name='warwickhunt' post='956360' date='Sep 14 2010, 06:43 PM']I have a set of flats with lilac coloured silk wraps, which I bought from someone on here and for the life of me I can't remember what make they are... anyone help me out as I'm tired of looking through threads trying to trace them! Cheers[/quote] Pyramid Golds?

    [quote name='Clarky' post='955518' date='Sep 13 2010, 10:58 PM']OK Dave, how's about £95 posted (vs £129 at DV247, without post)?[/quote] PM sent.

    [quote name='Clarky' post='955500' date='Sep 13 2010, 10:37 PM']Thanks ET! I will leave it a day or two and if no takers will simply sell for cash. Need to do a quick bit of reading up on BC to see what a fair price is s/h.[/quote] OK, thanks, just let me know.

    [quote name='Clarky' post='954651' date='Sep 13 2010, 12:55 PM']As-new Sansamp VT Bass pedal with tin box* for trade for Sansamp BDDI in good nick. The VT Bass sounds better (better emulation of tube sound and does not suck out the mids) but I am a lazy sod and just want a one-pedal solution with DI out capability for my gigbag. Anyone? * the tin box is a bit dented (and the piece-of-card manual is a bit dog-eared) but I don't suppose anyone cares - the pedal it is supposed to protect is pristine![/quote] Clarky, if you decide you want to sell for cash I'll take the VT off your hands.

    [quote name='Mike' post='954876' date='Sep 13 2010, 03:07 PM']... Anybody fancy this?[/quote] Yes, but can't afford it.

    [quote name='bigjohn' post='953297' date='Sep 12 2010, 04:00 AM']I wrecked a set of TIs putting them string though. They lasted about 10 minutes.[/quote] I've also had two breakages of TI Flats at the bridge saddle when strung through.
