    Sold a strap to Colin. Deal was as smooth as a smooth thing and I would happily deal with him again.
  2. [quote name='SubsonicSimpleton' timestamp='1405969536' post='2507115'] If you want a PDF that will print out to scale, then look in the attachments on the first post in this thread which has drawings for 57 and 62 variants [url="http://www.tdpri.com/forum/bass-place/178963-diy-knowledge-bass.html"]http://www.tdpri.com...ledge-bass.html[/url] [/quote] Brilliant! Thanks so much.
  3. [quote name='tony_m' timestamp='1405959153' post='2506946'] IIRC, Guy Lewis supplied a template covering both bass and treble side fitment with his custom thumb rests / tug bars. Unfortunately it looks like I've thrown all the ones I had away, but maybe he might be able to help you out (though of course you'd probably have to buy summat off him!). [url="http://www.classicguitarboxes.com/thumb_rests.php"]http://www.classicgu...thumb_rests.php[/url] [/quote] That's a good shout, thanks!
  4. [quote name='Jono Bolton' timestamp='1405953595' post='2506870'] Is this any good to you? [url="http://www.buzzardsbass.com/parts/thumb-rests/thumbrest-template.jpg"]http://www.buzzardsb...st-template.jpg[/url] [/quote] That's the right kind of thing, thanks, but I want it for the treble (i.e. g string) side lcoation.
  5. Does anyone have a template I can have, so I can fit a treble side thumb rest to my 2012 American Special Precision Bass?
  6. Wow, that's an amazing deal for some terrific gear. You have to wonder what the courier did to damage the cab though as PJB stuff is bomb-proof!
  7. HALF-WOUND [font="Arial"][size="-1"]LONG SCALE[/size][/font] [font="Arial"][size="-1"]STAINLESS STEEL[/size][/font] [font="Arial"][size="-1"]45-105[/size][/font] [font="Arial"][size="-1"]Status say:[/size][/font] [i][font="Arial"][size="-1"]Half[/size][/font][font="Arial"][size="-1"]-wou[/size][/font][font="Arial"][size="-1"]nd strings start off as regular round-wound then have the outer edges of the round wrap ground down slightly. This produces a string with a smooth feel and a tone somewhere between a round-wound and flat-wound string. Ideal for a warmer tone and fretless basses to preserve the fingerboard finish.[/size][/font][/i] [font="Arial"][size="-1"]Brand new in the bag. £17 plus P&P from Status, I'd like £15 posted.[/size][/font]

  9. And now just put a lighter gauge set on my fretted P bass. Really nice, low tension, and great tone.
  10. [quote name='moonbass' timestamp='1405752124' post='2504904'] One cab now on hold, but one still ready to go. [/quote] If only I had some spare cash
  11. This is an amazing deal!
  12. [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1405596490' post='2503374'] Hi walbassist - you ever been a Mesa Boogie fan? if so, how does the Demeter stack up against the M6 Carbine? They seem to be in a similar price (but obviously not the same weight!) bracket? [/quote] No idea I'm afraid, but Molan may have an idea as he also has the Demeter amp and may have tried a Mesa?
  13. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1405588975' post='2503256'] I think his is a pre and power.... [/quote] It is, and I am [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r6Gu56bWvI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r6Gu56bWvI[/url]
  14. [list] [*]I have one of [url="http://www.levysleathers.com/product;m1"][color="#0f72da"]these[/color][/url] in black. Used once so pretty much mint. UK prices seem to be around £14 new, so how about [b]£11 posted first class[/b]. Paypal as a "gift" is okie dokie. Cheers Gareth [/list]
  15. I've been hoping to get one of these to use with my HD210 for big gigs. Sadly I have no spare dosh at the moment
  16. Beautiful. Marleaux basses are fabulous
  17. This is the non-DI version of the fabulous new Demeter [url="http://www.demeteramps.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=96"]VTBP-M-800D[/url] head. Mine is #3 off the production line, signed and numbered by James Demeter. The amp sounds fantastic, with wonderful weight to every note. It's pretty much impossible to get a bad EQ out of it. It's very clean, with loads of headroom. It throws out a ton of volume. Here's my demo video of it: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r6Gu56bWvI[/media] The amp is in perfect condition. Mine also came with the voltage switch, which I understand is normally an optional extra . These are £1125 new in the UK. You can get this one at just over 10% off - a[b] firm £900[/b], and I will include a set of JJ valves (£25), a custom made Roqsolid cover (£27) and a lightweight padded carry bag (£18) for free. No trades thanks. Collection in NE Hampshire or Central London. Courier at extra cost.
  18. I should be around too Nik! Sandberg Custom Thinline fretless 5, Fender Americal Special P Bass, BSX Allegro 5, Demeter VTBP-M-800D Amp, Bergantino HD210 cab
  19. Drool.....
  20. [quote name='omikin' timestamp='1404312293' post='2491476'] I have been nervous about stringing these flats through the body. They're La Bella 760FS (45-105) but I have had flats (different ones) start to crack when they've been strung through. Anyone strung these flats through this bass? I suppose I could put the E through the bridge and the rest through the body. [/quote] La Bella make special flats specifically for through-body stringing
