  1. I'm interested too and would love to hear a demo of it being used with bass. I've scoured youtube but can only find demos with guitar, usually as a front end to another valve amp. Can you provide a quick bass demo with this one?
  2. This might help - https://www.electronicstalk.org/polyester-vs-polypropylene-capacitors-which-one/.
  3. What is the exact weight please? An accurate weight in gms if you can (not bathroom scales).
  4. Yes please, can you dig out the scales and add the weight?
  5. I'm surprised this is still here, they're amazing little combos. Work well for upright and BG and pack an incredible punch for such a small package. I have an old 80s 200MB model which has seen a lot of action over the years and is still going strong!
  6. Strings & Things in Brighton are UK distributors for Ernie Ball, it might be worth giving them a call. I needed a new truss rod wheel a few years ago and they were very helpful. https://www.stringsandthings.co.uk/contact-us
  7. Plugging the f-holes would also help to reduce feedback. Something like this - https://reverb.com/item/34668208-f-hole-foam-inserts-reduce-feedback-on-your-late-model-guild-x-175
  8. Just bought a Matt Freeman pickup from Dave. Seamless transaction and received a couple of days later. Pleasure to do business with. Many thanks!
  9. Personally I'd just hang on to the SUB neck in case you ever want to put the SUB back together again. I made the mistake of selling a 'spare' Stingray neck a few years ago and shortly afterwards wished I'd kept it! If you're intent on selling it, then you'd probably realise more value overall by reassembling the USA SUB and selling it as a complete bass and then getting a new body for the SS fretless. USA SUBS are great basses (it's my current gigging bass) and they're pretty well sought after. If you just want a standard SR body (rather than a custom build) you can get one for around £200 from guitarandbassbuilds.com here - https://guitarandbassbuilds.com/collections/custom-bass-bodies/products/custom-shop-music-man-stingray-bass-body.
  10. Yes I bought it from a very nice chap in California in 2011. The bass was made in 2007.
  11. Hi Dave, I think this one was mine! Fabulous little bass, incredibly responsive and expressive instrument. Played it in a piano trio for a couple of years which eventually folded. Brings back more than a twinge of regret to see it here again...
  12. I found this demo of a Safran which looks very similar in design with single pickup direct to jack
  13. 👍 Good to know. I think I can see a faint line on the Thomann pics where one part of the underlying body wood is darker than the rest.
  14. Is the vintage blonde finish solid or translucent (it looks slightly translucent on the Thomann pics)? Also, is this essentially the same build/component quality as a Squier CV 60s P? Sorry, I know I'm a little late to the party on this!

    Just bought a Fender MIM Precision pickup from Dave. Very nice chap to deal with, quick to reply and quick to post, arrived nicely packed. Top man, many thanks! Ian
  16. That's a very unusual and interesting bass! Can you provide a few more details: - What is the coil configuration of the pickup and any switching options? - Does it also have piezo saddles (I'm guessing not as I can't see a battery compartment)? - Are there any controls or is it direct to jack? I'd love to hear how it sounds, can you provide a demo of some sort? Thanks
  17. Just sold a set of DR Hi Beams to Nik. Seamless transaction and a thoroughly nice chap (we have 'previous' 😄 ). Thanks Nik and hope to see you at the SE bash!
