    Thanks for a very swift reply. Do you recall were the flats Hofner branded or the Pyramid Golds (which I believe are the same)?
  2. EssentialTension
    What colour is the silk on the La Bella nylons? Is it the usual purple?
  3. EssentialTension
    I've got the same - also pimped with teacups! What do you mean by flip the pickups? As for the strings, seriously, whack some flats on as soon as you can - it will bring the bass to life! Mine's got the Hofner flats with the dark green silks. Joyous thump. Sorry to resurrect such and old thread but ... I recently acquired a Hofner Ignition Club Bass and the Hofner Black Nylon Flats E-string (with the light green silk) doesn't fit through the tuner. Are you saying the nickel flats fitted OK?

    NOW £20 posted to the UK. Stagg Bass Gigbag STB-GEN 20 UB ... https://staggmusic.com/en/products/view/STBGEN20UB To be frank, I am not totally certain it's that actual model but it's certainly very similar. Has some typical gigging small scuffs but good for many years yet with plenty of pocket space. £20 posted to the UK.

    Approx £29.40 (plus 10Euro postage) at Thomann ... yours for £22 posted to the UK. The Thomann pics make it look black and pink but the pink is actually more a golden brown. This gigbag fits many, although not all, hollow or semi-hollow basses. Check the measurements below. https://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_e_bass_gigbag_premium.htm Thomann's description ...

    Levy's EM8S Bass Gigbag labelled Lakland on the lower zip pocket. This has been 'under-the-bed' since 2008, so it might be called 'new old stock' and it's definitely what your Lakland bass is crying out for ... £40 posted to the UK. Here's the Levy's description...

    The E string, which is cut shortest, has approx 5 inches of silk beyond the 32.5 inches ball end to silk. The A string is approx 2 inches longer, and D and G are longer still.
  18. EssentialTension
    They are typical Rotosound 30" short scale. Ball end to silk is roughly 32.5 inches.

  22. EssentialTension
    Unused DR Legend Flatwounds 45-65-85-105 long scale with golden yellow silks. Packaging is slightly tatty, but strings are untouched. I'd call these brighter sounding flatwounds, YMMV. £50 at Strings Direct, but these are yours for £30 posted to the UK.
  23. EssentialTension
    If it doesn't need to be specifically a Fender, the Lakland Skyline 44-64 Custom is a P bass with a J pickup at the bridge and a J neck.
  24. EssentialTension
    I had a black lined fretless Ripper in 1983 (or thereabouts). I always assumed it to be aftermarket and if you Google fretless ripper images there are plenty, but unlined not lined.
