    Best and only major (i.e. not peripherals) purchase is my new Franz Merak. As it's my only purchase, does that technically make it my worst as well?

    What a beautiful bass. I especially like the walnut neck. Ah yes, a fine bass it was too. Brook really know their stuff.

    ON HOLD

    Black. Removed from a brand new bass, so the strap attachments are unused and still in original box. Price includes second class postage.

    The tone of Wishbone Ash's Martin Turner on "Argus" is fab. Ah, halycon days cranking that up!

    Superb head at a really good price!

    Not quite twins, but definitely siblings.

    Rumours of Fleetwood Mac, withour very own @Etienne on bass. Very good they were too

    That's a crazy good price for this setup. Why hasn't it been snapped up?! 😳

    I have two tickets for the Mac at Wembley on the Sunday evening. Only selling as my daughter's A Level timetable has just been released and she has an exam on the Monday morning! Block 520, Row 9 Face value sale. Thanks Gareth

    Try nylon flats, or maybe Dunlop string cleaner?

    Going into the studio tomorrow to do some backing tracks with my son on drums and daughter behind the desk.  Proud Dad moment! :)

    I have two sets of very lightly used Newtone strings for sale. Both sets are nickel plated on round cores, low tension, and were cut for 3 over 2 headstocks. The sets are slightly longer than standard and would suit extended scale or through body basses. Platinum Bass: 50/70/90/110/130, 97 cm long - £25 posted Diamond Bass: 55/70/90/110/135 (tapered), 98 cm long - £25 posted I also have an unused Newtone steel roundwound low B .130 (tapered), 95cm long - £8 posted Thanks for looking. Gareth

    I use exactly the same setup and it really is fantastic. The EQ on the Marcus head is spot on. Very good price for the pair too.

    Welcome! My Nan was from Monmouth - Wigmore's in St Mary's Street was her family business. My aunt still lives in the town, just off the Rockfield Road actually. Many fond memories of the area, and still one of my favourite places to visit. In fact, off to stay with my Aunt on Sunday night before dropping my son in Cardiff on Monday for a 3 day hockey camp (he's in the Wales U16 squad). Cheers Gareth

    Yes, that was a cute bass ❤️

    Funny you should mention Picato. I just took a punt on the very last set of extra long Overwater flats to put on my fretless 5 and they are really nice.

    Thread locked at OP’s request.

    That is a thing of beauty. I’ve wanted one in this spec for years. We are geographically close. And I have no cash 😔
  21. franzbassist
    Excellent Rutles reference there 👍
  22. franzbassist
    Thanks for the replies. I already use La Bella white nylons on my fretless and really like them, but for me I think the tension would be too low on a fretted, so I was looking for alternatives.

    Looking for half/ground wound recommendations? I’d like to find something that feels like a flat wound, super smooth and with minimal drag or noise under the finger.
  24. franzbassist
    Spot on.
  25. franzbassist
    At least it isn't the same old 4 bar we're used to....
