  1. And there was me saying I didn't have anymore GAS. Good luck with the sale, someone is going to get a bargain.
  2. 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].
  3. Do you want me to give him a nudge for you ? Perhaps they could still come ?
  4. 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 .
  5. 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 !
  6. 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..
  7. Machines

    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.
  8. Good idea(s) ! I'll email both and see what the options and costs are .
  9. 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 !
  10. 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.
  11. 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 .
  12. Day off work + good lighting =
  13. Argh ! It looks so nice.
  14. 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.
  15. Bump. Had a few offers but nothing that ticks all the boxes .
  16. Moving this to the correct forum.
  17. 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.
  18. [quote name='setekh' post='1164750' date='Mar 16 2011, 06:33 PM']Sure, that's a wise move if you have limited space. Still, I'll echo Buzz's comment. Unless you're getting a bargain price for hosting, 40GB is actually quite little space.[/quote] It's actually 60GB but 40GB is uploads. It's $10 per 5GB per month above standard, not great value and we're not looking at moving hosts for disk space alone. I think introducing a mentality of not uploading multiple 5MB images is the first step and if that's still not enough then we can upgrade.
  19. I've now dropped maximum upload space per user from 100MB to 75MB and no more than 20MB of attachments per post. Just found one post with 10 x 5-6MB images, no need !
  20. Looks like a cracking bass, alas I had a Corvette $$ 5 not too long ago and I disliked the neck profile and lack of front position markers. If I hadn't had one before I think i'd go for it.
  21. I've only had one nibble ! Quite disappointed .
  22. Don't need this twice .
  23. [quote name='BassBunny' post='1163873' date='Mar 15 2011, 11:23 PM']Absolutely not. If someone is prepared to pay that sort of price for a damaged instrument when a new one is little more, more fool them. I just found it funny that when asked if it indeed was the London Show Bass, it vanished from the For Sale section to appear on e-Bay for nearly £50 more. No doubt some mug will buy it. Just wondering what would happen if you offered the price it went for at the show. [/quote] The seller pulled it, I didn't ask him to. I think his conscience got to him, until he put it on eBay anyway...
  24. Yeah but really, how many basses have you had in the years and how many wives in comparison ? .
