I work outside so the whole world is a better place in summer. But the answer to the question is no.

Can't help you with the sizes but it might be a good opportunity to put lighter ones on as it may help with the little bit of neck dive they have. Les

Well done that man.

Looks like the orders are going through and the rests will be shipping soon, so, the rest of this thread is probably going to be about what we're all using to stick them with and what success we're having. The tape I've got to try is something called sticks like nail's, will report back when I've used it.

Thanks for this Rich. I know you're waiting for a reply from the mods to get these out to us, so, would you like me to beat any of them to death for their tardiness or just knock em' about a bit with a length of 3 be 2 ? as I said I'll take absolutely anything as long as I can rest my thumb on it but if I get a choice can I have 2 ali and 1 plastic dipped (small chamfer) please. Les

Full on, it may as well be a flick switch. If your not full on cos' your leaving a bit of reserve for when the dickhead guitarist starts you then become part of the problem.

Bugger, that's unlucky mate.

I'll take plastic, aluminium, Ivory, unobtanium, unicorn horn, tiger tooth, dolphin bone or whatever, my bloody bass is orange so it doesn't matter what I put on

I'll take 3 please Rich

As we're slightly on the subject of charity gigs I have to say I wouldn't do one on a pass the bucket basis, no guarantee of anything for the chosen charity there.

As a covers band we tend to take our playing timings from the gaffer, as he knows his punters. The problem with charities is they very often don't know what they are doing with regards to running a night so often seek advice from the band as to what time etc, the band give it their best guess based on what they normally do. 10.45 is quite early to leave a pub gig and to be honest if you leave at that time you can almost certainly expect to miss most of the bands second spasm.

I actually need to stick mine on Rich, don't want to drill my bass. Les

10 or 15 quids fine by me for whoever gets them done Les

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1392284430' post='2366703'] sorry mate, I have not got around to sort this out yet. It's in my "to do" list, but work, bands, girlfriend etc take time too. The "eye rolling" icon, I could do without, you know? [/quote] lol, sorry dude, was meant more teasing than impatient

Any news mate ?

They need to wear the baggy shorts to hide the size of their balls for having a go at this with just 2 vox, bass and guitar. Chapeau.

I have no idea how many frets any of my basses have

Could we have a cyber show of hands for those interested in this ? That way mcnach knows he's not going to get stuck with 85 quid's worth of thumbrests. I'm happy to chuck my tenner or £8.50 or whatever makes sense in the final reckoning in to this.. Les

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1391309052' post='2355682'] I'll report back [/quote] where you up to pal ? It's been two whole days since you swore your oath to provide thumbrest groovyness to the masses. I'm gigging on Saturday. I even bought my own double sided tape so as to meet you halfway

If your talking continuity of the show you need to be organised, an instrument change needs to be planned and rehearsed. If you mean changing basses makes playing difficult I don't think so. I went from my short scale mustang to my EUB and back with no problem tonight. Sorry, last night now.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1391308687' post='2355678'] . I suspect there would be a minimum order that might make this idea a bit too expensive. We will see. [/quote] This is BassChat, we are legion !
