    Posted · Edited by walbassist

    Surplus to requirements as I've gone to a soft hardshell case.



    [list]
    [*]Leather trim throughout.
    [*]Heavy duty denier shell with full-length zip so the bag can be opened flat.
    [*]1" foam padding throughout with internal headtsock and bridge protectors.
    [*]Large buckle saddle bag type pouch on the front.
    [*]Strap hook so you can hang it up!
    [*]Dual back-pack straps.
    [/list]

    Really excellent bag giving superb protection. This is pretty much mint condition, and as over £100 new in the UK I'm asking [b]£75 posted[/b].

    They've made all kinds of custom bass strings for me in the past, scales, guages, taperwound etc. and they do acoustic sets, they might be able to help you out.

    On a side note, I find that regular, albeit electric, bass strings fit fine on my 33" bass, so you might get away with a regular set.

    Good luck dude,

    Thanks for that. Funnily enought I fired off an email to them about 10 minutes ago. Picato have also said they'll do me a set.

    I was gigging in Guildford one night about ten years ago when Mr Foxton walked into the pub. Funnily enough, we were in the middle of an acoustic set and we were playing "Tube Station" as he came in!

    Anyway, he stood at the back of the pub and watched us until we finished our set. Then he came over, bought us all a beer, and sat with us 'til we had to go back on. He was a really nice guy, very modest and unassuming, and it was a pleasure to talk to him.

    I've seen him a few times since around and about and he still remembers me each time. Top chap.

More of a bass than I'll ever be a player to do it justice but the feel good factor[/quote]
