    I imported Binky, my 10 string bass, from the states. The shipping was around $350 via FedEx fully insured. A few years later I bought a 9 string Conklin from Jean Baudin and it was actually cheaper for me to fly to San Francisco with an empty case as my luggage and bring it back to the UK than it was to suffer postage and import taxes! So £125 seems pretty darn reasonable at todays rates.

    Dang - If only I played fretless, and if only it had one extra string!

    An interesting thing... I believe Joe Perry from Aerosmith has one of these.

    Man I love Haken! Excellent vocal harmonies, complex and interesting compositions, perfectly balanced mix, all round good stuff! The first two albums are quite theatrical, Affinity is probably the best for casual listening, the latest album Virus is a good, if somewhat apt for current time, listen too Listening to them as we speak!

    @gareth - looks like a reflection to me! Could be wrong though!

    Mr Velvet sent me 3 kettle leads for the cost of postage, they arrived within a few days, can't say fairer than that! Thansk good sir!

    I believe they are actually called IEC leads... Specifically UK IEC leads. A Euro IEC lead would have a 2 prong end, so these wouldn't be Euro leads! Time to whip your sound man, I'd suggest 10 lashes.

    PM'd on a few of the black ones!

    Freshly recorded today. The relevance to the picture is that it sounds like something those guys would play! Enjoy my awfulness!

    Purely listed like that so they can attract idiot buyers who see the "80% off" banner and buy it because they're too stupid to realise it's a con.

    Clearly sir, you have not been in my presence after a curry!

    Saves you the temptation at least! 😁

    Tis a beast, but it is actually set aside for someone from this very parish...

    Just took delivery of a brand new Kuga with Bang and Olufson 10 speaker sound system so alas, I can't justify it for that reason!

    The wife has just about accepted the Mesa 8x10 stack in the lounge... if I brought this home I'd have celibacy forced upon me for the rest of my days! But I am still tempted! £100 is a real steal. If it hasn't gone to a home that'll get good solid use out of it within a week, then I might snatch it up! Someone looking for/needing a cheap rig should take this, it really is an incredible price.

    £100... and in Essex! Stupidly tempting even if I have no feasible use for it!

    Most of the time that is code for "I've stolen this and can't think of a better reason to make my sale seem genuine"

    Unnecessarily giant text.

    I had 4 hours left of September!!! 4 whole hours! Well inside. 😁

    Brand new to all of this! This is the first track I've recorded with my little studio set up... it's best listened to loud! The night sky was used by many a captain to navigate... even those on creaky pirate ships! (Yes, I am shoe-horning my track into the brief!)

    I can't believe you're taking credit for someone else's work...

    @MSL Pro - Any thoughts on the above?
  23. binky_bass
    If this was a 6er I'd be all over it! This looks like a superb bass... Sander De Gier does build outstanding basses, his build quality is up there with the VERY best. Whoever buys this will not be disappointed.

    @MSL Pro For me, the bridge on my ACG 30.5" is a standard Hipshot B type 17mm bridge with standard Gotoh GB350 resolite tuners. So fitment in the hardware shouldn't be a problem. The gauge on the set I currently have is .032 .050 .070 .090 .110 .135. So very close to what you offer on your 6er sets, your gauges would be perfectly fine for me so long as they work for the scale. I don't want to commit to buying a set, cut them to fit, and they just don't operate as they should. If I bought a set of your LongEvo strings, are there any guarantees you can offer that they would be serviceable if cut (after bending) and fitted to a 30.5" bass?

    @MSL Pro are you able to make a set of LongEvo strings for a 30.5" scale 6 string bass?
