    [quote name='pete.young' post='1041739' date='Nov 29 2010, 10:30 PM']Wow, what a fabulous piece of wood. By the way Gareth, check out Paul Hathway if you're looking for a mandola.[/quote] Thanks for that. I've played Paul's instruments before and they were certainly an option until I found a nice mint Fylde! Cheers Gareth

    I bought one of [url="http://www.bristowbows.co.uk/postal_tubes.php"]these[/url] last week to transport my new bow in. However, it only fits French bows and as mine is German, well, you know the score... So, [b]£8.95 posted [/b]anyone?

    Hello all I hope it's okay to post this here, given that it's a listing for a third party. Mods please free to delete if I am breaking any house rules. While talking to Roger Bucknall at Fylde about a new Mandola, he mentioned he had a 32" scale 4 string acoustic bass needing a home. Being the decent chap that I am I suggested he email me pics so I could put it up here for people to see. Here it is! Roger's asking for around £2300. You can email him [[email protected]]here[/email] if you want more details. Cheers Gareth

    [quote name='philw' post='1040728' date='Nov 29 2010, 07:42 AM']No, the Veillette is still on the way. Should be with me week after next. It's a piezo only one though and I'm still hankering after something Precision based in Lake Placid Blue with a maple fretless fingerboard. Got the possibility of a previously loved Squire 50s Classic Vibe, but I already know the standard neck on it will be too chunky for me – hence thinking about a replacement neck.[/quote] Ah I see, well that's a relief. Quick turnaround on the new bass too?

    Have you parked the Veillette then Phil?

    That's a great read Mike, and it sounds like your are enjoying the ride! I must say it's lovely to see so many Basschatters taking the plunge into upright. I only started just over a year ago, and then only on an Aria EUB, but I haven't had so much fun in ages. My new BSX Allegro is very much a hybrid between EUB and a full upright, and I absolutely love it. Happy Days! Gareth

    Putting up the set of [b]1/2 scale [/b]Spiro Weich plus a medium low B that came fitted to my BSX Allegro. They've seen better days, with some fraying of the silks and tape separation at the headstock end of the strings, but they tuned up okay when I put them on the BSX when it arrived (it had been shipped with the neck off) before I replaced them with Silver Slaps. They are about 60" total length, made up of 5.5" ball end silk, then 48" actual string, then 14-15" [A and D], 9" [E and G] and 8" [low B] of silk at the headstock end. How about £50? Cheers Gareth

    I'll also bring my BSX Allegro 5, as well as the Ken Smith Burner 5 I have for sale at the moment [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=111384&st=0&p=1027742&#entry1027742"]here[/url].

    I wonder is putting a felt pad or a bit of tape between the A string and the bridge might take the edge of the harshness?

    [quote name='BigJim' post='1031210' date='Nov 21 2010, 10:39 AM']Do you want any trades?[/quote] Not really if I'm honest, sorry.

    Lots of interest but no one has shown me the money yet. Postage to the UK is approx £15 (£30 insured to £1k) while the EU is coming in around £25 (£45 insured to £1k).

    I have a D-Tar [url="http://www.d-tar.com/eclipse.shtml"]Eclipse preamp[/url] in my Veillette Archtop fretless, which uses a piezo bridge and humbucking mag. Seems the perfect option, and I think you can get them from their UK distributor [url="http://www.smart-distribution.co.uk/amplification/dtar/intro.html"]SMART[/url]. Cheers Gareth

    [quote name='DuhBassMan' post='1028232' date='Nov 18 2010, 05:40 PM']I am highly interested in this bass....is it still available and how much is that in US currency? [email protected][/quote] Yes, still available, but £900 is about USD1440 and that's before shipping. I'm sure you could get one cheaper in the US.

    [quote name='bubinga5' post='1028186' date='Nov 18 2010, 04:59 PM']does a credit check come into play? Pitfalls?... my credit rating is not the best...[/quote] It's a loan, so yes.
