[quote name='bigjohn' timestamp='1354971766' post='1892466'] I'd be up for a couple if theres still any going, or become free, or if anyone wants to order some more? [/quote] OK, and I'll hold off ordering until we hear from iBudd, Matt P and Legion too.

Okay, that's all 12 spoken for! I'll PM everyone to get payment up front through Paypal if that's okay.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1354969525' post='1892441'] Yep count me in [/quote] One or two?

Any takers for the last two?

Thanks fellas. I'm going to take two as well, so four available.

I've got through to the checkout screen. Total price posted is £28.57 (£19.77 for the picks, £8.80 courier), which is [b]£2.38 per pick[/b]. So, second class would add 50p, whereas first class would add 60p. I'm happy to order a dozen if anyone still wants to proceed at that price?

I've managed to register no problem. What was the difficulties you were having?

Sold a valve to Paul. A pleasure to deal with. Great communication, instant payment. Top notch transaction!

Oh dear, I was born in 1966..... I hope you have no plans selling this Rick!

I sold Lee a Radial Bigshot. Great communication, prompt payment, and a thoroughly decent BC chap to boot!

I'll take a couple.

The g string sounds just fine under the bow (for a Silver Slap) playedd unplugged - plenty of depth and volume. In fact, of all the strings it's probably the best sounding acoustically!

Thanks for the comments guys. I shall whip it out tonight and have a play unplugged!

[quote name='daflewis' timestamp='1354628261' post='1888319'] What pickup are you using? Sorry if its stating the obvious, but is it a magnetic? Or a built in bridge one like the Ns designs? [/quote] It's a "multi sensor piezo system" built into the bridge.

Gareth bought a strap from me. Faultless transaction.

Hello all I know that Silver Slaps aren't the best for arco, but they do a job on the very rare occasion that I need to bow my BSX Allegro EUB. Only thing is, the G string sounds really weak compared to the other strings when bowing, almost silent, yet it's just fine when played pizz. Any thoughts? Cheers Gareth

[quote name='Kongo' timestamp='1354326496' post='1884978'] You'll get less with flats. [/quote] This is a common misconception with flats, but so much of it depends on the string. Sure, some flats are all thump and no sustain, but La Bella and Lakland (made by GHS I believe) flats have mwah for days on a fretless, and plenty of sustain on a fretted too.

Evening all Wals and some other boutique basses have these nifty inserts that hold the screws that hold the control plate cover in place I'd like to fit them to another of my basses, so does anyone know where these can be sourced? Cheers Gareth

Just purchased Ash's Bassbone. A pleasure to deal with, with truly great communication all the way. I recommend him most highly!

They'll certainly get smoother as you play them more, but I doubt very much they'll get any brighter.
