  1. If you want the top surface nice and flat, print it in PLA top down on a smooth plate on your 3d printer. Turn it back the right way on the bass and job done. Print at the slowest speed and at the highest resolution and if you can tell it extrude 5% more for the first layer or two, it'll be a lovely finish and not need sanding. I was going to say that it looks like its printed on a plate for PETG which is not smooth, but the dimpling is too pronounced. I actually like the top surface though. Rob
  2. No offense taken by me. Whether he plays too many or too few notes, it still sounds gorgeous. I don't think I'm in a position to critique his skills as a bass player. Now if he wants to discuss compiler theory or Perl or SmallTalk or network architecture, let me know and I'll see what I can do Rob
  3. I reckon 50% of the blokes had tank tops on under their coats.
  4. Wow! That sounds gorgeous
  5. To be honest, it doesn't really matter which one you'll buy as you'll probably end up buying all of them anyway. Just think of it as the first of many... Rob
  6. Oi you young whipper snapper! Some respect for your olders and betters...
  7. I did exactly what was suggested with ordinary hard wood dowels about six weeks ago. Used a decent wood glue on a MIM Jazz neck. Left it to dry properly (24 hours) and re drilled it to fit a different body. No issues whatsoever. I'm going to do another neck in a few weeks and will do the same again. I've no concerns about the strength at all. Rob
  8. I look at these the same way I look at Ferraris, super yachts, mansions, supermodels…. Fabulous but so far out of reach that I'm not disappointed. I'll stick with my Seat Leon, my paddle board, my house and the CFO
  9. Always happy to help with a bigger board 😀
  10. Luke brought a leather strap. Great comms, immediate payment, easy to work with. Zero issues, just like it should be. Thanks Rob
  11. Thanks for this.
  12. Did you have a schematic for this please?
  13. I would agree with @neepheid and that may is doing an awful lot of work here. All of the comments are spot on. We have different basses for all sorts of reasons but often just because we want to. Nothing wrong with that.
  14. Which is a great attitude to have.
  15. Let me know what you need. I've two Prusa MK4's. Oddly enough they are doing sod-all at the moment Rob
  16. Mmmm.....breakfast.... I suspect we'll be there for that and to help setup. Rob
  17. I wish I had either of them
  18. Both sound great. We're coming down to stay with friends in Deptford in a few weeks. We used to live in Greenwich and kids went to school in Deptford before we moved ooop t'North. More than happy to bring them both down for you. Clearly don't want to encourage bad behaviour from you
  19. I can encrypt it using that exceptionally difficult system ROT13 if it helps you.
  20. This is a very nice, modular pine shelving system. We brought it go around an corner in our attic room but is no longer needed. Its very, very sturdy and has any number of different ways it can be put together. There are various heights, various lengths and various widths of shelves. Surprisingly it has all the bits apart from whatever screws you need to attach it to the wall. The wire bits hold the shelves up, which is so much better than a little button. We had it with heavy books on it and it's as straight as the day it came to us. From memory it cost aground £5-600 for all the bits as they a massive step up in quality from IKEA Collection from near Settle in North Yorkshire. Free to anybody who wants them, they will probably fit in a medium sized estate/saloon. Needs to go quickly though Thanks Rob Now gone.

  21. Basically does anything look right on this?
  22. Now sold The CFO and I have just come out of a bilateral meeting where a number of topics of mutual interest were discussed. Theses topics included: Balance of payments Import / export regime Tariffs Apparently I have imported quite a few basses and guitars into the house and the number of basses and guitars exported has hit an all time low of zero. This apparently means I am running a significant deficit. Due to this deficit the CFO is looking at imposing tariffs of circa 125%, such that a £500 bass attracts a tariff of £640 payable to the treasury, aka her bank account. She presented a number of options that I apparently have agreed to. Not saying anything anything as it could be taken the wrong way, clearly indicated my consent. She backed this up with leverage of me sleeping in the attic or the spare bedroom, my choice. I have no idea where she got these ideas from, but she has been paying a lot more attention to US news recently. I explained to her basic economic theory re balance of payments and who really pays tariffs, but I only received a stern look in return. This is the Harley Benton Deluxe Series active bass. This is a lovely bass but the neck and I don't get on. My thumbs are knackered from rugby and it's slightly too thick and it's painful after 15 mins. I brought it from a fellow bass chatter a few months ago but I have to recognise I need thin necks. So I've built myself an active Jazz with a Fender neck and a John East pre-amp to take it's place. Again it's a great bass and my thumbs do not do it justice. It's in good nick and as with all Harley Benton stuff its great value for money. I paid £95 but will take £80 for it. There is no case per se for it. The pictures make the neck look grubby , thats just the grain. I'd really, really, really rather not post as the postage costs will be high for what are cheap bass guitars. I am happy to meet people within an hour (ish) of Settle in North Yorkshire, I can Leeds or Manchester if necessary during the week as I work there. York is also possible. More than happy to look at swaps or trades. With cash either way, I'm looking for a decent small 6,8 or 10 channel mixer with USB in and out, or a decent FRFR speaker such as Headrush 112, a Boss Katana 100 MK2 combo amp or similar. Or something else that's interesting. I have enough guitars and basses (according to the CFO), so unless it's a 62 Precision or a Strat, that’s not going to fly. I have more IT than I need so nothing on the IT side at all please Thanks for looking Rob
