Thanks for all the responses. Just need to decide whether or not to get another one now.

I've only used Roto Flats for the past 7 or 8 months but previously used Hartke rounds. I have also used Ernie Balls, Elites, TI flats, LaBellas, Picato, Roto rounds, Trace Elliot, Fender, D'addario Chromes, Dean Markley, Optima Gold & Chrome rounds, Peavey, DR coated and not, Warwick Red & Yellow Label, GHS, Rickenbacker, Hamer, and probably others.

Solid and actually touching the body, rather than floating on three metal stilts. Does what 'normal' bridges do

Didn't sell for as much as I thought it would - more like mint 1976 Bicentennial Thunderbird money.

[quote name='ahpook' post='1269727' date='Jun 15 2011, 10:02 AM']unlike the sg, the top of a jack casady is curved so would it still fit ?[/quote] The Hipshot probably wouldn't fit. It doesn't fit the Les Paul Standard bass so i can't see it doing this one

I'd heard korean made in the 80s and I also have a vague memory somewhere in the back of my mind that they also made a bass similar to the Maison ones of the late 80s/early 90s that looked a bit like Bass Collection basses

extremely dead ones from any live videos I've watched so possibly flats or just dead strings (he always did look a bit sweaty on stage)

[quote name='chrismuzz' post='1270967' date='Jun 16 2011, 07:39 AM']Played my bass/FX/head through a MAG one of these at Neon Studios a few times, phenomenal sound! Nothing else by Ashdown i've ever used has sounded the same, but I can't see them anywhere! Does anyone ever see them about? Maybe TIM can shed some light on this for me?[/quote] TIM DOESN'T SELL ANYTHING ON HERE ANYMORE, IN FACT NO ONE DOSE

H05 sounds like it could be either something like the month code and year eg August 2005 or some magical coming together of two elements to give Hydrogen Quintoxide HO[sub]5[/sub]

Maybe beause a lot of people love them and pour out all their emotions about them here. Someone reads it and thinks 'that's the bass for me'. Buys it and then wonders what all the fuss is about so sell them. Fenders aren't everyone's ideal instruments just like TC, Markbass and whatever is currently flavour of the month either but generally if you love what you have then you're going to tell everyone eactly how great it is. I love my current setup but there ain't a single piece of trendy or fashionable gear amongst it - except maybe the Boss OC-2. I go on about how great my stuff is but generally get ignored cos it ain't the in thing. I've kind of rambled there - the second being that the Fender bass is the original mass produced and accepted bass so I suppose everyone has to try one ( or ten) to find out what the fuss is about and decide whether or not its for them or not. The third is probably people 'upgrading' from a MIM to a MIA ( The MIA precision is without a doubt the most disappointing bass I ever owned, the best was my E Series MIJ) There will be other reasons and perhaps some of what I have said is sh*te but sometimes Fender is made out to be the be all and end all of basses - I've even seen threads where people have said that 'I have X Y and Z, all I need now is a Fender' Why?

They're sh*te

Having a thought about getting myself a second Laney 1x15" cab and stacking them sideways to make it taller. there are, however, three problems with this: 1 - the feet are on the bottom 2 - if I were to put feet on the side of the cab that was going on top I wouldn't get the cover on it so i can't do that 3 - the handles stick stick out slightly proud of the cab so I need to have something between them Does anyone know of anything you can get for something like this or a type of rubber or foam that I could put between the two cabs that wouldn't cause the top cab to bounce around?

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='1268391' date='Jun 14 2011, 11:13 AM']These have got to be good for modification purposes. Chuck a BadAss (other bridges are available!) on it, add an EQ or two of your choice, definitely have some series/parallel/single coil (delete as appropriate according to model of choice) switching, and away you go...[/quote] Alternatively they may sound good, albeit look wrong, as they are

So other than the tuners, shape of the scratchplate, pickup and bridge, isn't this just a rebadged Bronco albeit a hundred quid more expensive? Don't get me wrong I've wanted a Mustang for years but that's a huge difference in price for a few changes. I really hope I'm wrong and there's more to it than that [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/common/showimage.asp?image=/images/FEN-0310902906.jpg"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/common/showima...-0310902906.jpg[/url] [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/common/showimage.asp?image=/images/FEN-032-8402-506.jpg"]http://www.soundslive.co.uk/common/showima...32-8402-506.jpg[/url]

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='1267522' date='Jun 13 2011, 04:44 PM']years ago there was a Yellow Pages advert, in which a French Polisher[size=1]*[/size] was called to deal with a nasty scratch on a table. If you have a spare bit of cash it might be worth giving one a call? [size=1]*[/size][size=1]this is not a euphemism![/size][/quote] I knew a guy that was half French and half Polish - he was a French Polisher.. boom boom I thank you etc

I don't think any company would and frankly I've always found it ridiculous that after I've paid someone to do their job I also have to pay a bit extra to cover for their negligence
