    Well…let me tantalise you some more… I have a second option

    James on Friday at the CoOp. Last minute ticket offer from the singer in my band.
  3. AndyTravis
    Gah. Love love love this.

    Rushed from work to rehearsal in Friday evening gridlock. Great rehearsal though - 5 new songs are really coming along now - so we’ll have 12 original tunes to pick from for upcoming gigs. New drummer is phenomenal, really musical - builds his parts and pushes the songs along. hopefully sorting the album soon - An EP with old drummer is just with mastering guy. so it was decent - but Friday after work is not the one.

    I’ve re read the question posed… I can’t recall a separate insurer. sorry
  6. AndyTravis
    I’ve used overland before. Think they insure separately

    Off to the eagles at the new Co-Op Arena. Heard good things. Got ace tickets from a mate for my 40th. Taking my Uber cool 15 year old daughter and Mother and Father in Law.

    Well…I’ve left them on the spare room bed…

    Just admit defeat. Become an idiot like me…

    So…like…well… yeah… Think I’ll unlist the basses I’m selling and just admit, I have an issue

    I got 6 readings off luggage scales 3 said 3.5kg (7.7lbs) 3 said 3.8kg (8.3lbs) so my guess is 8lbs ish
  12. AndyTravis
    Ah…my old Toby. Temptation.
  13. AndyTravis
    Just shy of 9lbs. Got some new scales. Out at the minute but will check later

    I must admit, I was doing my typical “that’s close enough” rather than nailing the tone…

    I always assumed it was a bassballs sort of a light filter with some drive. i used a mooer sweeper for it on some gigs a few years ago…there or thereabouts sound wise.
  16. AndyTravis
    Yeah. I’m having one
  17. AndyTravis
    Looks like it’s cracked - unfortunately common with these bridges.

    Bought in a rush, actually surplus to requirements as I’m selling the bass I needed it for (have listed as a bundle, so it may go with that…) DI/acoustic Pre. Lively, solid thing. Collection preferred. postage will be a few quid in UK

    So, in a fit of “not using, sell it…” I bought this bass as a bit of a wreck on eBay courtesy of over indulgence with wine. it’s an ovation style bowl back, Italian (Eko) made - these are sometimes seen as Rondo etc. Anyhow, I took the frets out. Added flamenco style tap plates etc. I was also OCD’ed out by the encore logo being 10mm off centre, so killed that too. Again, this was done with wine in hand. Neck had a small, old and stable split near the machine heads so I clamped and glued it. Solid now - probably outlast me… Defret is a decent enough job, probably not 100%, but board was radius sanded etc so better than some jobs I’ve had to fix for others in the past. Just not perfect as I’ve been out of the repair game for a while. Sounds ace unplugged. Sounds decent plugged in - a passive volume/tone. Plays well - I think it could have a lower action, but I was going for DB vibes so it’s about right for that…I had debated some lower tension strings. But that’s your shout. Saddle would probably need lowering as it’s low at position 1-5. edit - I can do PayPal invoices so you can do on PP credit. Forgot about this…will have to add Fees, but it won’t be much. So I purchased an Ashdown pre/DI to balance the sound out and reduce potential feedback. So, £190 Bass soundhole bung Ibanez Gigbag which is basically brand new. Just realised I can’t let the Yamaha BEX go - and practically speaking, it gets very close to that double bass sound I was aiming for. Shipping, while not advisable, is possible. Manchester M27 for collection. A proper marmite bass, if you hate it…fair enough. But I know why people will love it.

    Yamaha had a habit of doing this. I have an OEM attitude bridge on my BB and it was far from like for like.
  21. AndyTravis
    Go on then…
  22. AndyTravis
    Fender made some custom Corian (man made marble) ones…
  23. AndyTravis
    Quite a cool insight…
  24. AndyTravis
    Yeah, last goodbye - what a winner
  25. AndyTravis
    Adore that bass
