    What, this one? Yes, it is amazingly good.

    I'm using the new Caron K1 combo. Did think about selling it as I would prefer the same rig as separates (Ninja head and TRV123 cab), but damn it's just too good to let go!

    I bought an amp from Stuart. Perfectly painless transaction from start to finish with excellent comms throughout. Highly recommended

    I’ve been experimenting with strings quite a lot recently and so have various sets available. All with very light use, cut for 3 over 2 headstocks. Newtone i) "Platinum” Nickel on round cores, 38" long - 50/70/90/110/130 - £20 ii) "Platinum” Nickel on round cores, 38" long - 45/65/85/105/130 - £20. These have been used through-body, but soft core means should be fine to put on a top load bass. iii) “Diamond” Nickel on round cores - 55/70/90/110/135, low tension set with tapered low B – 38.5” string length. G string was cut and fitted very briefly, but all others unused - £25 iv) NEW "Platinum" Steel roundwound - .130 gauge 37" length - £5 Fodera v) Nickel roundwounds, - 50/70/90/110/135 - 39.25" string length - £25. Used through-body but round core so pliable. Only on the bass for one day. La Bella vi) 2 x NEW La Bella nylon flats, one copper white and one white nylon - .043 gauge – XL scale length - £5 each or both for £8 Thanks for looking Gareth

    Hi chaps, I haven't read the whole thread, but might I ask about the tension of these? According to the D'Addario site they have a lower total set tension than XLs, Coated XLs and Half Rounds. Can anyone confirm that from a playing perspective? Thanks Gareth

    Small badge works well.

    Have you asked Cool and Classic? They could contact their buyer o at least see if they still have it?

    The Demeter isn't cheap, and while I love the look I'm sure it put some people off. The EQ looks basic too, although is actually super powerful. I've never tried a Glock amp, but I probably should.....

    It's the only amp I have ever used that stayed clean and clear and yet also retained authority and presence (dare I say "heft"?) at any volume. Quite remarkable. They now offer it as a fliptop combo too.

    I once bought a used Wal from a shop in London. Took it to Pete at Wal HQ for a service and he said it had been nicked a few years earlier. I gave it straight back to him, and he gave me a brand new Wal as a thank you

    I'm starting to wonder if they've actually made it taller, rather than narrower?

    Have Ashdown changed the chassis the CTM30 lives in? Used to look like this: Now looks like this, which seems more like the old LB30? If it has changed, and it's not just my eyes playing tricks, anyone know how wide the new one is?

    It was on ITV

    You can definitely re-board it. I had Brook Guitars in Devon convert a maple boarded P to an ebony unlined fretless and they did an amazing job - even kept the original nut!
  19. franzbassist
    Early 70s factory fretless Ps were definitely dots on the line and not mid "fret".

    I like flats but personally prefer tapes, as they are usually lower tension even though the gauge can be heavier.
  21. franzbassist
    I would recommend La Bella nylon flats, white if you want a brighter tone, black if you want dark, or copper if you want in between.

    Best rhythm guitarist ever.

    Can you scroll through the six presets on each channel by pressing the relevant channel button on the footswitch, or do you have to select them at the amp?

    These are lovely cabs. Big, yes, but the clarity and depth coming out of them is a thing of beauty.
