  1. I can highly recommend using Brook Guitars in Devon for a conversion of this type. They nailed it for me when I had one done.
  2. German makers Harvest Leather and Richter have been my go to makes, but I recently discovered Pinegrove here in the UK, who do very nice work.
  3. We're round some friends to celebrate tomorrow night. Should be a good one.
  4. Strings Direct sell single strings.
  5. I was born in 66, but haven't worn as well as that bass 😳
  6. How much relief is there in the neck now? You say it's an area in the middle of the neck that's the issue, suggests means there may be too much tension which is causing a concave bow, forcing the plastic up and out of their slots. Subsequent relief of the tension may mean they still sit proud. No need to buy a new neck IMO. Have a tech shoot the fingerboard, or if you are confident in your skills buy the correct radius sanding block and do it yourself. Hope you get it sorted!
  7. IMHO they look awful.
  8. Hello Strawbs, also from Alton.
  9. Classic! I don't think any of them know what they're doing 😧
  10. I think I've just discovered the bass my daughter is going to have for her studio
  11. Great amps, albeit with limited EQ. TTE500 is analog power section, but the 800 is digital.
  12. This, x 1000
  13. New year price drop to £250 collected / £275 posted.
  14. Sliced the median nerve in my middle finger over Christmas.  Totally numb down one side.  Feels weird :(

      Phew.  I hope you don't feel a fool too.

      You never said how it happened...?

      Sounds much like tidying up and/or cleaning to me....

      .....I let someone else do all that. I highly suggest you do the same! :)

  15. Lovely 😍
  16. These are so good.
  17. Stick an ebony board on a second hand American Special. Job done.
  18. Live and learn. Just a shame flats are such an expensive way to learn!
  19. What don't you like about them? If it's the tension then the black La Bellas will be no different, just a bit darker sounding.
  20. My wonderful Sirius by Franz bass guitars ❤️
  21. That's a lovely looking bass, and for what it is the price is very good too.
  22. Just don't bother with the burst, especially not one so heavy and badly thought through.....
