    [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1497271035' post='3316908'] The last time I was there was 20 years ago for a County match. With the game pretty much wrapped up there was Curtley Ambrose guarding the boundary in front of us. A bunch of us invited him to come and have a beer with us - so he stepped over the rope and did exactly that. [/quote] Didn't some English cricketer get spotted having a quick drag on a spliff while fielding on the boundary at some Caribbean ground? Or am I hallucinating?

    [quote name='owen' timestamp='1497278498' post='3316971'] No worries. It was not like I NEEDED it. Like most of the stuff I buy on here! [/quote] The sale did go through Owen, so my apologies. But I do know exactly what you mean about 'needing'. I'm having a clear out because apparently I need to take up less space.

    Sold subject to the usual.

    Owen, I just agreed a sale on this minutes before you. I'll let you know if that doesn't go through.

    Some years ago I sold lots of 7" vinyl on ebay. I raised about £900 altogther and bought a Precision bass. I did pick out the most saleable and then gave the rest to charity shop.

    There's nothing abnormal or wrong with a short scale bass so just play that as it is. If you want a long scale too then get one.

    I don't quite get this. On a typical Fender style bridge, the bridge saddles are separate for each string and should be flat not radiused. Any 'radius' of the strings, which I take to mean the varied string height above the fret at the octave position, is then brought about by raising or lowering the bridge saddles individually to get the desired action. Myself, I tend to follow the [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIzV9462xeE"]Lakland setup guide[/url] - which gives five/sixty-fourths (G string), five&quarter/sixty-fourths (D string), five&half/sixty-fourths (A string), five&three-quarter/sixty-fourths (E string) as 'medium-low' string heights. If, after setting the neck relief, the bridge saddles are adjusted to those string distances (or similar) then the strings will roughly follow the radius of the fingerboard but it's not achieved by radiussing the bridge saddles - which ought to remain flat but be set at appropriate heights for the desired string action at the twelfth fret. In millimetres that's roughly 2mm - 2.1mm - 2.2mm - 2.3mm
