  1. Yes, I saw that too, horrible. Straight back to Paul for a full refurb methinks...
  2. Shall I ask if they can put you a custom set together at the same time?
  3. Would a string the same length as the ones I need do for you? If so, I could ask them to run off an extra E string and package up a third set (with the other three at regular length) for you?
  4. [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1360355125' post='1969358'] OK, let us know how they are. I might try them on my Takamine B10 which also needs order direct from La Bella. [/quote] What length do you need? My Veillette sets will be 38.75" long.
  5. Yes, they are a custom length so need to be a special order.
  6. I have a set for my Veillette incoming in a couple of weeks. Eric at La Bella says tension is the same as the black nylons, but the whites are "faster" and "brighter". I'll do an A/B recording and will report back
  7. I'm pretty sure the preamp section in the Drophead model is closer to the Little Bastard (2 x ECC83, 1 x ECC81) than the Spyder.
  8. Would you be willing to split? I'd be very interested in the head if so.
  9. BSX Allegro should also feature in this list.
  10. I sold a strap to Alain. A pleasure to deal with and I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.
  11. Hi Lozz I tried the Tonehammer 350 at Bassgear the other day and was blown away by how good it sounded. The gain and drive controls give you a lot of different options, and that's before you begin to play with the tone controls. Definitely worth checking out. Cheers Gareth
  12. [quote name='voxpop' timestamp='1359985415' post='1962894'] Hi Deepbass5, I have an Artist 6 fretted that is about 2 weeks away from delivery. You are welcome to come around and try it out when it arrives. I live in Sandhurst, Berkshire. [/quote] Shall I bring my Veillette Archtop at the same time?
  13. I wear my basses quite high, so my fretting wrist is straight and there's no nasty break angle for my plucking hand. I find this puts the bass at just the right height for playing fingerstyle, picking or slapping. This translates to a strap just slightly longer than Sheehan's optimum.
  14. Hi Dave [quote name='obbm' timestamp='1359827039' post='1960889'] OK Gareth. BTW we are The Wheatsheaf in Alton on the 16th. I could stick it in the car with my rig if that helps. [/quote] Thank you very much! And I shall pop down on the 16th for sure...
  15. Assuming it's still around, could I give this a run out at a (large venue) gig I have coming up othe 23rd Dave? It may well be a very nice one cab solution for me
  16. To quote Sheryl Crow. "If it makes you happy....."
  17. All lovely basses from a totally trustworthy seller. I'd have the JC back in a flash if I had the readies
  18. Hi all I just got these, but have decided not to fit them after all. They are chrome/satin finish. All the details are [url="http://store.hipshotproducts.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=111"]here[/url]. Cheapest I was quoted for a set of four in the UK was £104. You can have a set of four for £85, or buy all eight for £160. Thanks Gareth
  19. I use one or two Markbass NY151RJ cabs depending on the size of the venue. I would prefer to move to a two 1x12 setup.
