  1. i don't usually comment on for sale posts just to say 'thats nice' or whatever but... woah! that's gorgeous!
  2. bump for pictures finally added. sorry they aren't great, but you get the idea (hopefully)
  3. [quote name='bassbloke' post='301953' date='Oct 8 2008, 10:16 AM']PM sent[/quote] replied!
  4. cheers for all the replies, in the end i've decided to sell them (see the for sale section) and buy some that fit and have the screws in the same place... guess thats what i get for not doing my homework before i start flashing the cash!
  5. [u]5 schaller M4 machineheads - 3 Left 2 right[/u] - i was gonna use them for a four string bass (2 a side) but they didn't fit anyway. they're used but in good condition. one of the left sided ones had a chip taken out of the paint work, which i painted over with nail varnish (not mine, i swear!) its on the bit that goes behind the headstock so not really an issue unless you go looking for it. its also a little more scratched than the others so as its one of the 3 left sided ones i was gonna leave it out anyway. i'll take some pics and try to get any damage to show up but i'm guessing it wont, as i say its not noticeable unless you're really looking for it. close up of the one that was damaged... yeah so i suck at photography. i have no patience for it whatsoever. [b]*SOLD*[/b][u]5 string bridge - Schaller 3-D5[/u] i think... the ones with the rollers... a few scratches on the bit under the saddles but other than that pretty good condition. [b]*SOLD*[/b] i'll get pics up asap, hopefully tonight, once i've found my camera. trade wise if anyone has a 4 string set of tuners, black or chrome, of similar value that aren't schallers get in touch. and same with the bridge, a four string schaller 3-D would be cool or any other 4 string bridge you have thats of equivalent worth. or just PM with offers of the money kind, and yeah paypal's fine.
  6. [quote name='Dr.Dave' post='298876' date='Oct 3 2008, 06:58 PM']You're obviously not keen to do it but I had a similar problem with Schallers I fitted to a Fender. I just put 2 wraps of insulating tape round each machine for a more snug fit.Invisible. Been on 20 years and countless gigs now - no issues and never goes out of tune or anything. Just my 10 penneth.[/quote] well i wasn't keen but as you've had them on for that long with no problems i may give that a go and see what i reckon. cheers for that dr.dave!
  7. just bought an ODB-3 off him, cheap and in good condition. thanks mate!
  8. [quote name='pete.young' post='212074' date='Jun 3 2008, 08:49 PM']Nik bought my Aria Pro II RSB fretless.[/quote] and then i bought it from him! he is indeed a star, kept me updated the whole way through, offered up different options of postage and packing. a thoroughly easy and pleasant transaction really. thanks, matt
  9. [quote name='neepheid' post='297208' date='Oct 2 2008, 01:17 AM']Additional - I'll take those Schallers off you if they are 1: no good and 2: chrome [/quote] nah sorry they're black, they'll be making an appearance in the for sale section soon i think
  10. cheers all, looks like something i'll have to put a little more thought into, thanks for all your pointers.
  11. been searching through the posts about this but can't seem to find the info i need, i'm probably looking in the wrong place... i bought some schaller M4's to replace the cheap korean tuners in one of my basses but the holes in the headstock are too wide for a snug fit, so i checked other basses and its the same story. what is/is there a standard size for shaft width on a bass tuner? can someone explain to me how it works? i read on a post i found that i could use the schaller's and fill the gap around them with something but i'd rather not, i'd rather just get a different brand of good quality tuner. also the screw is in the wrong place on schallers (off to one side) compared to the ones i'm replacing (below), didn't realise it was gonna be this complicated!
  12. [quote name='Exile252' post='293861' date='Sep 28 2008, 01:17 PM']Bloody GAS[/quote] ewww, you should probably see a doctor about that sorry... couldn't resist
  13. [quote name='budget bassist' post='291142' date='Sep 24 2008, 06:45 PM']I know what you peavey T-40 nutters are like so [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PeaveyT40-Bass-Guitar-Case_W0QQitemZ130257601890QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item130257601890&_trkparms=72%3A12|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]here's[/url] one on the bay, it's a bit scratched up but it's cheap right now. Considering it's been up two days now and it's so cheap i'd have thought you guys would have been all over it like flies on sh*t by now [/quote] cheers for the heads up, didn't see it cuz i usually search 't-40' and the way he's written the title means it doesn't come up. i'll keep an eye on that, nice one!
  14. i very nearly bought an acoustic guitar from these guys a couple of years ago because they were cheaper than anywhere else but when i went to pay it all got a bit confusing - basically when they took the payment they took it in two instalments a percentage (deposit?) there and then when i placed the order and then i guess they planned to take the rest of the fee when the item was despatched... my bank stopped the second payment and wrote to me saying there was odd account activity. so i tried using my girlfriends card (different bank) but had the same problem after a couple of weeks of messing about i bought it from somewhere in the uk for a little more. so not sure if that helps but its something to look out for, maybe that's a standard thing and I'm just a fool, or perhaps someone knows a way around these things? or maybe they've changed their policy in the last 2 years? who knows! but if you do order don't panic if your bank tells you about any strange account activity. both deposits were refunded, there was nothing dodgy going on.
  15. [quote name='john_the_bass' post='279518' date='Sep 8 2008, 10:04 AM']yeah I've used fast fret (and continue to do so) although I remember there was one specific one that applied a polymer coating (or whatever it was) and made the strings a bit like elixirs[/quote] [url="http://www.hartnollguitars.co.uk/products.asp?id=1584&category=Accessories&catid="]DR Extra Stringlife - Liquid polymer coating[/url] thats it from my local shop... probably a bit cheaper elsewhere... i've got one somewhere never really used it, i usually just stick with fast fret
  16. [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='251130' date='Jul 30 2008, 11:10 AM']I love that Toby Pro 4. Just one thing, though... Why did you stick that horrible pick holder to the front? Won't the glue mark the finish? [/quote] nah its only stuck on with blu-tak!
  17. [quote name='Bassassin' post='249848' date='Jul 28 2008, 06:27 PM']A pity, this. I'll give it to the end of the week & after that it's Ebay. It deserves better. J.[/quote] agreed. this is almost exactly what i'm after... except the colour... i know i said that about the grendel i bought off this very forum, but can i really have two red basses when i didn't even want one?! can i?!
  18. i was gonna buy them! darn it, i was a little worried about filling the gaps left but looking at it i reckon it would look cool with the black plastic surrounds you get on some pickups (gibson etc) no idea where you'd get the right size thing though... hmmm
  19. [quote name='Lenny B' post='248129' date='Jul 25 2008, 10:23 PM']I used to have a Toby 4 - great bass, regret selling it. If anyone sees one with a Darth Vader hologram sticker on the headstock, drop me a line (reward offered)[/quote] he he, yeah i'll keep an eye out, there'll soon be another one gracing this thread cuz i bought the one that was kicking around in the for sale section. tis a (very cheap) beauty to be sure...
  20. [quote name='Sharkfinger' post='247057' date='Jul 24 2008, 05:21 PM']Wondered who that lovely TBC went to. Was in the running for it but had to drop out when I was made redundant. By the time I'd got another job, it had gone. Still, if you ever consider selling it..[/quote] ah, another example of real life getting in the way of bass buying! makes me sick i am considering parting with it now cuz i'm skint and just bought another toby pro. but to be honest i'll probably sell it locally as i know a few people who've taken an interest in it round here... but who knows, guess if i don't shift it, you may well be seeing it in the for sale section again.
  21. wow! i've been in virtually the same situation for what seems like forever, but in reality its way less time than you've been putting up with it (6 years or so). major pain in the ass isn't it?! me and my lead guitarist brother have now decided to forget the idea of getting a singer and just do what we can ourselves. which just leaves a drummer... funny what you say about it wouldn't be the same band without the other two, cuz i've always felt like that about our drummer (singers have come and gone) but now that i think about it, it makes sense to continue the band and get someone new cuz we were always the driving force behind it anyway and as good as our drummer was/is i'd have swapped him in a second for a little effort and enthusiasm! i vote replace them but keep the band name etc if you think its worth keeping hold of the reputation you've built over the years, chucking it all away for the sake of it not being the same when in fact it might be, or might be way better seems a real hassle. well thats the angle i'm trying this time anyways! good luck!
  22. [quote name='SiOfBass' post='218559' date='Jun 13 2008, 09:07 PM']liking the TBH bass, the curves make me think victor wooten... nice toys[/quote] cheers si
  23. i always stayed clear of basses with out front markers until i actually played one and it was fine... made me realise i don't actually use them as much as i thought i did, think its just a habit get into when you 1st learn but its quite easy to get out of if. also got to thinking its probably better from an on stage point of view for me to not be stood with my head bowed trying to look at the front of the neck all the time, just a quick glance down evreytime i venture up to the dusty end of the fretboard just to make sure i'm sliding up to the right note. i say go for it!
