Guilty of being a sheep, I thought it was the done thing to delete price on completion. Have no view on whether it should or shouldn't be done, but I suspect that one or two more will have deleted information on completion as they have seen others do it. Not and excuse, but a possible reason. As for price/value....if something doesn't sell, perhaps it's because no one wants to buy your markbenzbergfanniedfretless, no matter what the price is.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1151537' date='Mar 6 2011, 03:34 PM']G&L L-2000 = versatility personified. (pic added) classic styling too [/quote] +1 L -2000 covers your criteria Chris. Had 4 & 5 string Tribute versions, but I always end up back with Jazz basses, which cover most things, but have "girlier" necks! John

I was in a trio called The Symbolics.............I was Sym, the other two weren't much cop.

Thanks Derren!

Kev, There must be some open mic/Jam nights around your way, have you tried approaching from that angle? Get to play in a "supportive/encouraging" environment and get to play bass with others....just a thought. May see you sometime down on the coast. John

Glad you're passing on your experience, and that he is coming back (always a relief!). By the Topic title and your avatar, I was wondering what sort of lessons you were offering... ....was already to sign up and everything!

[quote name='BottomE' post='1147572' date='Mar 2 2011, 07:40 PM']No worries. Come and say hello if you are about. Look in local gig guides for the GoodFoot band. All the best Jerry[/quote] Hi Jerry, Had a gander at your website, lovin' it mate. Will defo come down from the heady heights of Shaftesbury and see you guys sometime. John

Hi, I've had lots of PM's on ebay about BIN with and without the pup. If someone buys it without the pup, I will more than likely keep the K&K as it is the best sounding piezo/oreamp combination I've owned, so far. And may drag me away from my beloved schallers....! So sorry no. John

Now on Ebay....yes I am a knob!

Great seller is Cameron. His well packed Line 6 pod, in perfect nick, came my way, and I'm sure he has shares in Ducktape! Deal with confidence, top man! Thanks, John

Ok, so I've had this for a couple of weeks now, been playing it exclusively over my ADB's as (due to very sad circumstances) the Gents aren't gigging presently. I've been wondering why I'm not getting on with it. So did some measuring. The neck at the octave on my ADB is about 85mm and the portable is about 72mm. Nut width 50mm and 43mm respectively Just that difference is making my fingers fall over each other. I am a big guy with big hands, and the ADB width is very comfy. I din't try before I bought it, but was asked if I wanted to, so entirely down to my impatience.. So what to do? It sounds great, looks great, albeit eccentric, is a great bit of engineering. Can't believe I am going to have to sell so soon? Any suggestions before I possibly take that step please? Obviously if the board could be widened, it wouldn't fit in the body when folded down.... buggeration.... Now on ebay [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110653720536#ht_660wt_932"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...36#ht_660wt_932[/url]

Yeah I saw the comment on the neck. just seemed odd having a Tobias looking headstock. It certainly seems good value, just wasn't sure about it being an Overwater. Think I'll ask the seller some questions. Thanks J

Hello! I've a bass that has locking machine heads...which look like a great idea. However, I have no idea how they work. I tried to put some "old" strings on (to try out) in the traditional manner and got in a right state! They are not Spertzel rear mounted locks, but top mounted. Anyone know how you are supposed to put strings on using this type of tuners please? I have searched youtube for locking tuners/machine heads, but came up with some S&M videos. Very entertaining and painful to watch, but no help whatsoever. Many thanks in anticipation of your wisdom. John

What do you reckon?? Looks more like a Tobias head, on a Spector body? [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320660792078&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_949"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...IT#ht_500wt_949[/url]

Jas sold me a tiny bass, great guy, easy deal, no sweat. Thanks, John

[quote name='Beedster' post='1136163' date='Feb 21 2011, 08:22 PM']I got the sound I've been after since I started playing DB? Is that really all it needs, a splash of reverb? C[/quote] Chris if that's how you got your sound mate, that's great! It's a terrific feeling when you like what you hear, a real confidence boost. I found mine with those Honeys, Schaller and the CMD12P, not subtle, but I don't do subtle, I leave that to the pro's! Was it same out front and in monitors? John

[quote name='fatback' post='1134930' date='Feb 20 2011, 11:08 PM']Funnily enough, there's a C-ducer on the bay atm that might be worth a try.
