    I agree Chris. I've asked Neil on more than one occasion to try and get flats going.

    I've been down a bit of a rabbit hole with strings over the last couple of years, but just before Christmas I ordered a couple of Newtone sets for my new Franz bass. I wanted to string it through the body and so needed strings that were 38" long from ball end to top nut. I went for Platinum wrap, round core, nickel plated in a typical 45/65/85/105/130 gauge and WOW, I am blown away by them. The feel, tension and tone are all just perfect for me. So pleased to have rediscovered this British classic!

    This is very true.

    I will always have a soft spot for this 😍

    My Sirius singlecut by Franz bassguitars. It is the perfect fretless for me.

    Well hurrah and huzzah. Not sure how I missed that.

    Super smooth sale of some parts to Michael. Would very happily deal with him again

    Yep, I used the WL20L for my active basses with no issue. Now I use the WL50 and it's even better.

    These are basically GHS Brite Flats (i.e. groundwound nickel roundwounds) but with a shorter 37” B string (the rest are all 38” from ball end to silk). BNIB, these are £30 posted, which saves a fiver plus postage buying from the Bass Centre.

    Hello Phil. I hope you’re doing well. The choice is really good these days. Personally, I’d go with Sire or Cort.

    Nope

    Mrs FB has bought me one of these! I suspect she's hoping it'll make me as cool as JT himself.

    If we're talking good looking singlecuts, my Franz Sirius is a tasty bass.

    Thank you! It's a Rockboard Tres 3.0.

    Nor did I. Close up shots look amazing, full body images not so much...

    Happy Christmas Team BC :drinks:

    As a bass player, probably easily enough, but as a bass player who also sings harmony bass parts on a lot of our songs and lead vocals on some songs.... not so much.
  18. franzbassist
    And sold!
  19. franzbassist
    I'm waiting on @Tjhooker to confirm if he wants them right now. Hopefully confirm status shortly.

    Indeed! I would never ship a bass without extra insurance that actually works!
  21. franzbassist
    I posted a bass in a semi-rigid gig bag inside a proper bass shipping cardboard box last week for £21 plus £5 for proper insurance with Securesus. Total weight was 12kg and I used Parcelforce 24.

    It looks to me like it's already been refinished, just without any colour matching? If it's a decent enough repair I'd be inclined to leave it and chalk it up to "mojo".

    I would love a Spector PJ5, but I am so used to 19mm bridge spacing at the bridge I think it would feel very cramped.
  24. franzbassist
    Early Ken Smith basses too I believe.
  25. franzbassist
    Another super smooth sale to Mike. He's a good 'un!
