Even if I had a spare £12K rattling around in my pockets, I'd think twice before handing any over to that seller.

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1328448222' post='1527048'] I've got a friend who is a sound engineer and she's doing the sound for an Eric Clapton tribute band next weekend. She's offered to get me in for free. Having just googled the band in question, they're so mediocre, I don't think I'll bother. [/quote] Are they from my neck'o'the woods, by any chance?

[quote name='MSL' timestamp='1328378351' post='1526238'] Hi WoT, A couple of questions if that's ok? Did the flats require a big change to the truss rod? I put a set of LaBella Deep Talking on my Jazz, got scared by how much the neck bowed and took them off shortly after fitting! Do you still have a wide variation in tones available compared to before fitting flats? I like the tone you have in the vid. deep growling 'E' and yes, I liked the vid, nice one. Regards Mark [/quote] Hello Mark! I'm flattered, but it's not me in the vid. I just stumbled across it. FWIW, I use La Bella flats on my 70s J, and once the truss is tweaked a little to compensate if necessary, it's fine.

Oh - OK. I actually prefer it to most improvisations I hear on youtube. ha ha.

[quote name='blackmn90' timestamp='1328363491' post='1526002'] thing is i don't get with the millions of bass vids on youtube that people put up is they just seem to be playing as many licks as they have at their disposal. Why can't people just come up with a melody and make a song out of it, then put that up instead? The bass sounds very nice though the guys got great technique. [/quote] As the title of his YouTube clip says, it's just an improv...

[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.

I like this a lot... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlC6zZvXMnE"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlC6zZvXMnE[/url]

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.

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.

[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?

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.

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...

They have black silks...
