Made me one for a P bass recently. Nice job and not that expensive. Google will find them. [/quote] The're doing a pickguard for me also, should hopefully have it back next week

Have you considered getting one made - copied from you existing one? Plenty of makers out there

Bought a combo from Mike, which arrived today, very nicely packaged and exactly as described. Mike went to more trouble that he needed to, to arrange for collection by courier, as he was about to go away for the weekend. Can recommend Mike to anyone on Basschat. P

I bought a power amp from MisterWhite recently and can confirm that he was a pleasure to deal with. Good communication throughout and amp exactly as described. Highly recommended!

I bought an Xotic bass from Klaus, which arrived today, very well packaged and in excellent condition. It was a simple and uncomplicated transaction with good communication throughout. Would be happy to deal with with Klaus any day. P

Thats just too sad - I'm absolutely shocked. I met Vic on quite a few occasions at the BassGear shop and as other have mentioned above heMonique was always friendly, cheerful and smiling. I remember him demonstrating my Monique for me with great enthusiasm when i called in to the shop to collect it. RIP my bass friend

Nice collection of photos of Blue Note vinyl production taken from todays Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/music/gallery/2016/jun/15/how-to-remake-a-blue-note-jazz-album-in-pictures-vinyl-music-matters

As I understand it Apple are charging £9.99 p/m in UK, same as Spotify.

Another quick and easy transaction with Marc Always a pleasure to deal with this stand up guy P

I'm a big fan of the Monique too. My dovecage was a preorder from the first batch for Bassgear, so had it for a while. Can't imagine using anything else now

Interesting, though expensive, '61 Stack knob Jazz on Andy Baxter's site: http://andybaxterbass.com/details.php?id=801

Not sure why this thread is in 'off topic'

I've used Guitar Aid in Fulham for a couple of amp repairs, with good results: http://www.guitaraid.co.uk

Does that Aguilar pre have trim pots that can be adjusted?

Sold a bass combo to Chris a while back in what was an easy and pleasant transaction. Quick payment and good communication throughout, I can happily recommend Chris to any Basschatter! P

Sweet old precision right there - is that a U.S. Bob Glaub?

Sold now!

Welcome and good luck with your bass playing

On the motorcycle theme, don't think we've had any Velocette models yet: Thruxton Venom Viper Valiant

There I was being all sanctimonious back on page 1, claiming that I only had one bass these days.... Then this week I had my head turned by a nice Fender CS Pino Pallandino precision, which arrived yesterday

Caught them at the Forum in Kentish Town a few years back. Great, great live act, particularly in a smallish venue and close to the stage
