    I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Sandberg yet. Great basses.

    Astonished this is still here, these are such good amps!

    So, I treated my Veillette to a new set of La Bella black nylons today - the old set had been on there for three years so I figured they needed a rest, although I won't be throwing them away - but I noticed that a couple of the strings felt a bit rough under the finger, as though there were little nicks in them. Anyone else experience this?

    [quote name='Ashborygirl' timestamp='1360609058' post='1973341'] it must look like a P, have a P pickup & not be a vintage Fender. [/quote] So it doesn't have to be a Fender then?

    If you look through the classifieds here on BC you should get a good idea, but I'd imagine 450-500 is realistic. You may also want to return it to stock by refitting the original bridge.

    It's a variant of the Star Bass Singlecut (below) I believe, although Guy's is not hollow bodied. First Warwick I've liked in a long time.... There's a custom shop double neck too for Lee Sklar!

    I'd love this gig, but I'm probably just a little too far away for it to be practical

    Sold

    I have played fretless exclusively for about five years. That said, I recently picked up a very nice fretted PJ5 which I'm playing a lot, but I'm still not sure it'll get a look in at a gig any time soon.
  11. franzbassist
    Will do!
  12. franzbassist
    Yes, I saw that too, horrible. Straight back to Paul for a full refurb methinks...
  13. franzbassist
    Shall I ask if they can put you a custom set together at the same time?
  14. franzbassist
    Ball end to silk.
  15. franzbassist
    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?

    [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.
  17. franzbassist
    Yes, they are a custom length so need to be a special order.
  18. franzbassist
    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

    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.
  20. franzbassist
    Would you be willing to split? I'd be very interested in the head if so.
  21. franzbassist
    BSX Allegro should also feature in this list.

    Now £40, posted 2nd Class Recorded

    I sold a strap to Alain. A pleasure to deal with and I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again.

    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

    [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?
