I know what you've said about boutique but personally nothing can touch Lollars for vintage P bass pickups

Lightweight tuners, how much difference do they really make?
Delberthot replied to a topic in Accessories and Misc
[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1460581829' post='3027090'] Try an opposite approach, perhaps..? Hang a suitable 100g weight from a tuner key,and see if any difference can be felt..? A muslin bag with rice in it, or whatever can be cobbled up. If there's a noticeable negative effect, it could be assumed there'd be an equivalent positive effect upon changing the set..? [/quote] Alternatively, hang same bag from the strap pin nearest the bridge. Would that emulate losing the weight from the headstock? I'm so convinced that they make a difference that I took a drill to my brand new £1500 Sterling. Bought the licenced ones from a seller in the US for about £50 -
[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1460310401' post='3024575'] Quite Interesting. My 1980s Marlin Sidwinder maker is there. Terrible bass but I learned on it and played many gigs with it. Now fretless and in a gig bag in the loft. [/quote] My first bass was a Marlin Slammer which was a red precision with maple fretboard. Complete with peeling chrome on the bridge. Funnily enough mine ended up fretless, finishless and eventually in the bin to be replaced with a Riverhead Jupiter by the time I was 16

I'm going on holiday in 3 weeks so would like to arrange a sale before then otherwise I'll need to withdraw it while I'm away. I'd like to have the bass with it's new owner and everything hunky dory well before I go. As before, open to trades on 4 strings - fretted or fretless (just need a decent backup 4 string bass), alternatively lightweight 100-200w combos (I'll be needing one for the acoustic sets with the band). Trades would need to be with cash my way or feel free to make me a reasonable cash offer

Bass EQ PEdals - How do you personally use yours?
Delberthot replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Effects
I normally play fingerstyle but when I had one of these pedals I used it to adjust the sound when switching to using a plectrum. Saved faffing around with the controls on the bass or the amp -
I'd like to sell but not desparate to. My biggest problem is that as soon as I get something new the old one must go and go fast I played this at a wedding fair today and I've decided that I'm definitely not going to keep it, regardless of what I might say between now and the actual sale. Fantastic bass, just not for me anymore but I'm glad I bought it and have enjoyed playing it very much.

After last night's gig I'm now thinking trades of something 4 string - fretted or fretless It needs to be something relatively light - Yamaha RBX-A2, Bass Collection, Ibanez - I wouldn't say no to a straight swap for a US EBMM Sterling Alternatively, these are just things that I would like as trades but don't really need - cash is king so feel free to PM me a sensible offer.

This has been one of the best threads I've read in a long time

[quote name='Delberthot' timestamp='1459386000' post='3016120'] I've had my Brooklyn Gear strap for about 10 years and it's been great but I'm finding it a bit less cushiony than it used to be. Wonder if the neoprene eventually compresses over time so it offers less protection? So I've just ordered a Neotech one [/quote] Just back from the first gig with the Neotech strap and I have to say it's fantastic. Dead comfy and absolutely no shoulder pain whatsoever

Definitely depends on what you're looking for. I just bought a twin pack of D'addario EXL-165s for £24.89 from Amazon but normally I would go to Strings Direct and occasionally Stringbusters as well

Way Down ... disappointment of the year
Delberthot replied to Happy Jack's topic in General Discussion
On the up side I've just bought Steven Adler's book after reading through this thread to take on holiday along with Anthony Keidis' Scar Tissue and Lemmy's White Line Fever. I've read the other two previously but Adler's one is new to me -

I know what you mean. I want to sell it but I'm not going to give it away. I could've sent a counter offer but I didn't think that, considering their first offer, they'd go anywhere near what I want for it so I just declined it. I'm going to keep this thread active until I go on holiday in a few weeks then withdraw it if it hasn't sold or been traded. I'm sure there will be a time in the near future that I wished I'd held onto it. I've just realised that I have a set of Elixir strings that I put on this bass for 1 night then took them off as I found them too rough so I'll include these with the bass as well as the D'addarios that are on it. I cut them to go through the body so there's plenty of length on them if that's how you'd like to string them Another couple of stock pictures added: [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/yamaha_bb1025cb_1_zpstb6otqiu.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/426c1e87-a52e-445c-a6c7-c9fb09a813ac_zps33hnquoi.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s927.photobucket.com/user/Delberthot/media/Yamaha%20BB1025X%20CBB_zpsytq4ij9x.jpg.html"][/url]

I've just bought myself an acoustic bass so that's me sorted for one of those now. I'd still be up for a trade for a lightweight 4 string solid body bass but it must be active. Maybe something from the Sterling by MM or Sub ranges or one of the Squier deluxe active models but I am open to other ideas. Any trade will need to be with cash my way or straight swap. Alternatively, feel free to PM me a reasonable offer

It seems to be the old favourites and anything that's flavour of the month that seems to sell quickly- not always of course. I hadn't heard of Mayones until a couple of months ago and had the chance to try one in Guitar Guitar in Edinburgh and they seem to be very well made.
