  1. Wow that was quick ! Only round the corner from me as well.
  2. Yes, I nearly stupidly sold it though ! Common sense has now prevailed. As for this one - it's construction is flawless and it is a definite super-jazz. It'd wipe the floor with a US Fender and needs a permanent home ! Tone and playability are top notch, I only passed it on as a Jazz bass wasn't what I was looking for tonally in the long term. The price is very fair also.
  3. Still lookin' good I see. Thumbs up from me for leprechaun - he sent me his Overwater before I could post this to him .
  4. Website doesn't mention anything about cancellation, got a source or reason why ?
  5. I sense a proper reply coming.
  6. [quote name='Truckstop' post='1168348' date='Mar 19 2011, 03:32 PM']When Machine's asked us to use as little disc space as possible it takes the pee a little when someone quotes a post with a few large pictures. Kinda defeats the object. This happens quite a lot, maybe someone could put up a notice asking people not to quote entire sale posts? I'm very irritable and I don't like scrolling down a thread to re-read what was at the top! Truckstop[/quote] Thanks for the concern Truckstop. However quoting images won't use any more disk space as they're only stored once. There's possibly a few Kilobytes extra by quoting the text/code but it's negligible. The point regarding it being highly irritating still stands though ! Al - I think you should keep this one. Buy something else, put this in it's case and hide it away and come back to it in a few months. You'll realise then how you're glad you kept it.
  7. Link fixed. Those websites do custom ones too .
  8. Glad to see I could help .
  9. And there was me saying I didn't have anymore GAS. Good luck with the sale, someone is going to get a bargain.
  10. I would have thought direct from Sandberg would be your best option ? If you want a custom one made try [url="http://www.auroraproject.co.uk/new_page_3.htm"]Aurora Project[/url] or [url="http://www.auroraproject.co.uk/new_page_3.htm"]WD Music[/url].
  11. Do you want me to give him a nudge for you ? Perhaps they could still come ?
  12. Upload to [url="http://www.imageshack.us"]http://www.imageshack.us[/url] - use the option to resize it to 1024x768 and it'll fit better on screen .
  13. Hi mick, sounds like an older normal Tanglewood rather than the new Overwater ones. The pickups shouldn't need to be up to a certain standard to be gigged, if it sounds OK then they're good enough !
  14. Ok, bass is staying. Rather than shopping it in for a couple of sounds it can't do, I'll appreciate it for what it can do (which is a lot). Just gave it a good clean/polished the brass bridge saddles. After I put it back together I am quite sure it sounded brighter - the power of Brasso eh ?! Maybe I inhaled too much.. Oddly, the Stingray GAS has subsided..

    Fender

    It's a lot to do with brand for sure, same with Gibson. They aren't the best, far from the worst but so many big names have used them that people are attracted to them to emulate their heroes. This allows them to charge a bit more than equivalent quality instruments from other lesser revered brands.
  16. Good idea(s) ! I'll email both and see what the options and costs are .
  17. Try experimenting with the export/archive function in your Messenger. It can send you an email in .xls or HTML that you can search through on your PC. If that's not good enough we'll have to see what IPBoard V3 brings !
  18. Rather than trying to make this bass something it isn't I might just get something additional to it to give me some punch. Won't have to be a 5 string, a Ray 34 would do nicely. I shall ponder upon this - looking at these pics has made me all giddy.
  19. Last Saturday at the London Bass Show I bought one of Rotosound clip-on tuners for £5 which I thought was a bargain. However, upon attempting to use it the day after, it was DOA ! Changed the battery - nothing ! It'd light up but no display at all. Even though it was only £5, and being the ever whinger that I am, I emailed Rotosound. I got a response back the next day (bearing in mind I sent the mail Sunday) and was offered a newer model to replace it at no charge. Picked it up from post office today and it's doing it's job nicely ! Rotosound could have easily asked me to send the faulty one back and they'd ship another, but no questions asked. Thumbs up to Jason at Rotosound for his swift action ! It's nice to see their Chairman/CEO dealing with customers .
  20. Day off work + good lighting =
  21. Wow ! That's pretty cool, not sure of the point of the VU meter on a tuner though, I suppose it's more visual than practical. I wouldn't bet on the battery lasting that long if the lights are really bright. Be fine in a powered pedalboard though.
  22. Bump. Had a few offers but nothing that ticks all the boxes .
  23. Moving this to the correct forum.
  24. 25MB seems to be the non-editable limit per file. We can specify what types of files are uploaded or disabled but not their sizes. It may be different in the upcoming V3 upgrade.
