    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1328362709' post='1525987'] WoT wheres the vid of your new bass? [/quote] I've given up. They all sound like a right load of b*llocks compared to the likes of the above... Lovely, lovely bass though. I'm playing it as I type, and I'll be gigging it tonight. Beautiful.

    Just sold something to Jerry - a pleasure doing business. Thanks!

    I'm having a joyous time at the moment with some Laklands, that I bought direct from Lakland for about £22 posted. Lovely sound & feel... not far from my La Bella FLs but with more 'note' to them (and cheaper!). Mind you, it'll be a while before they're totally broken in.

    Had this been around a couple of weeks ago, I would have snapped this up.... Good luck with the sale.

    Lovely stuff....

    I love the way this chap winds some people up.

    I threw up on some punters during a gig in North Shields once. Thankfully, they were very understanding.

    Sold! Thanks for all your interest.

    [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1327615764' post='1514414'] 5 hours there, 5 hours back...day off work, cost of fuel, cost of staying over, currently have no car as saving for a much better one thus using the joys of the bus/train. [/quote] If that's what it takes... Specifically what don't you like about this one?

    [quote name='The Bass Doc' timestamp='1327600255' post='1514073'] Whoa, now there's a bargain folks. Present cost new £236 unfinished, £332 laquered! Then there's the nut (not supplied when buying the neck) and the decal..... Just a point WoT, maybe check the measurement at the nut - should be nearer 1 5/8ths? Also for 'string tree' read ferrule. Priceless bonus:- touched by the hand that shook Leo Fender's. [/quote] Cheers, Doc.. I'm so delirious at the moment (the nipper isn't doing too much of that 'sleeping' thing) I'm writing all sorts of nonsense that the moment. You're right, it's bang on 1 5/8ths!

    Hi all Allparts, Fender licensed. Thick ebony board. 70's TV logo, vintage tint by Howard the Bass Doc. 1 5/8" at the nut. No issues, other than a little bit of the finish lifting off around one of the tuner holes, which will be hidden when the ferrule is fitted. £100 + postage.

    This is my old bass... it's lovely. The active circuit on these are great. FWIW, not only is it rare because they were only made for a year, but it's also one of the very earliest of the run, produced before they moved to a darker 'burstier' finish.
  15. wateroftyne
    FWIW, the old/current head & combo aren't in the 2012 catalogue... just the new stuff.

    [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1327491217' post='1512086'] I thought I'd been reading they were GHS strings? [/quote] Whoops.. you're right. It's been a long day...! I'll correct my post.
  17. wateroftyne
    FWIW, I've just bought a set of 4-string Lakland Joe Osborne flats direct from Lakland, for just over £20 posted. They arrived within 5 days. They're re-branded GHS strings, apparently very similar to their Precision flats. They seem very nice, too.

    [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1327426806' post='1511061'] I think the 106 on the website is a mistake. The packet I had said 105. In fact even the picture of the packet on the website says 105. [/quote] My packaging says 106...
  19. wateroftyne
    They have black silks...

    [quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1327365640' post='1510223'] Glad you're pleased, which gauge did you go for and how do they compare to the La Bellas? [/quote] I went for the 45-106's. They're a bit heavier than the La Bellas, but I was thinking the lighter gauge might be a bit [i]too[/i] light. So far, so good.. they feel very nice, but I'll know more when they're broken in. I'll report back here when the time comes...

    [quote name='redstriper' timestamp='1327321852' post='1509200'] Did you get them from Lakland? The stickiness does wear off quite quickly and they just get better with age. [/quote] I did! The stickiness has gone already.... the feel great now.
  22. wateroftyne
    They've arrived, just over a week later. Very quick, and very inexpensive! First impressions are good... nice feel, slightly sticky (which I'm sure will wear off) and nice, fat, rich notes....
  23. wateroftyne
    Are you sure...?
  24. wateroftyne
    I asked him about what seems to be an additional switch between the jack socket and the tone knob: [quote]Your observation is correct , there is an additional switch that's part of the tone circuit (coil tap). [/quote] I've replied to politely suggest that he might want to make it clear in the listing. I'm sure he'll reply in kind.
  25. wateroftyne
    Still very much in love... the flats suit it REALLY well. Here's a clip from last night. It's not a great recording, though... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLFgaZpyypk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLFgaZpyypk[/url] I've got some Lakland Flats coming soon to try for a change...
