    [quote name='Shylock' timestamp='1425601659' post='2709075'] Is this the one made from brass? If so is that just the saddles? How much is the postage per chance? [/quote] The hipshot site says it's made of brass, so I assume that means the base plate and saddles. Buyers contribution to postage would be £3. Thanks

    I used my LB30 into Ashdown Classic Neo 2x10 and 1x15s in a Jam tribute band for a while and it was more than capable.

    I sharpied the top of one pedal and it dispered the light out really well to the side, so this would be my way to go.

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1425392958' post='2706836'] I mean the bit the string wraps around... it probably has a name ("capstan" possibly?) but I don't know what it is! [/quote] Ah I see now. Yes, they are waisted indeed, just like the ones below:

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1425375913' post='2706576'] I can't see from the photo - but are these "waisted" or straight-sided? [/quote] Do you mean the actual tuner shaft with the paddle? If so, yes, they are waisted.

    [quote name='Raslee' timestamp='1425333763' post='2706390'] Do these have the thinner necks, i.e. jazz width like ? [/quote] They are 41.3 mm wide at the nut and a slim C shape

    [quote name='Conan' timestamp='1425311224' post='2706090'] This bass is three months older than me (or at least the neck is...) [/quote] And just one month older than me! Looks fab.

    [quote name='Thunderpaws' timestamp='1425299162' post='2705898'] Where did you get your scratch plates from? I am considering swapping the bridge over. I have a gotoh 201b kicking around. Think it should swap ok. [/quote] Standard Fender 13 hole scratchplates from the US off eBay: even with postage they were cheaper than buying the equivalent in the UK! I thought about swapping the bridges too, to Hipshot Vintage, but in the end decided not to.

    Here we have an excellent Protec Contego gigbag/semi-hard case for sale. Very light use so in very good to excellent condition. All the details are [url="http://www.protecmusic.com/items.aspx?ProductID=410&InstrumentID=5&InstrumentGroupID=4&CategoryID=2&subCategoryID=45"]here[/url] I'm firm on £55 collected from NE Hampshire or central London (WC2), or I can post for £8 P&P. Thanks Gareth

    That's a great looking bass! Good score I am a huge fan of these basses. Mine are the 2012 honeyburst models with two piece alder bodies, 8.5lbs each. As you say, the necks are fantastic. I had one converted to fretless by Book Guitars in Devon. I've swapped the scratchplates and added thumb rests, and both basses have upgraded Hipshot tuners.

    [quote name='steviedee' timestamp='1424768372' post='2700090'] I'm playing in the states in a couple of months, I'm going to try and pick one of these up. [/quote] Good plan. It's a top notch piece of kit.

    I love the idea of a gig bag to carry two basses and picked this up at Christmas. However, as I never take both fretted and fretless basses to a gig (I take one or the other, plus my upright, depending on the band), I am only using it for home storage! So, I'm going back to single bags... Anyway, it's a terrific bag: sturdy yet light, good neck support and loads of storage. You can see the Gator page [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdYaQjPezHw"]here[/url], and there's a Youtube video too [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdYaQjPezHw"]https://www.youtube....h?v=gdYaQjPezHw[/url] Mine has been out of the house twice since I got it in January and is therefore in near mint condition. These are £159 posted new in the UK and I am looking at 20% off new, which is a [b]firm £125 posted[/b] using UPS next day service. Collection from NE Hampshire or Central London knocks a further £15 off the asking price. Thanks Gareth

    I think Bass Gear in Twford are both La Bella and Sadowsky stockists. Worth a try?
