    Because I have another cunning plan ;)

    Oh, do tell :)

    I must say that I've been trying to find an AB45 to replace one I stupidly sold last year, but after reading this I've gone for something else as I wasn't sure if the same neck would withstand 5 strings, let alone the 4 this bass is having to deal with.

    I was watching a similar repair to the truss rod 'escaping' from the back of a guitar on YouTube the other day where the repairer used fibreglass resin and silk sheets (because they are so thin and strong) to stop it happening again. The only issue there though is that it had to be painted to cover all the patches.

    Watching this with interest.

    Digitech Polyphonic DropTune - Sold

    in Effects For Sale

    Posted · Edited by 6feet7

    Bought a couple of years ago, then I swapped over to 5 string basses, so it never got used live. Comes with power supply.

    Here's what Digitech say:

    DigiTech Drop Polyphonic Drop Tune Pedal Overview

    It's a long way down. The DigiTech Drop Polyphonic Drop Tune Pedal is a well of tunings, offering you the ability to drop tune your guitar without having to touch the strings. This nifty little box of low end madness has the power to transform your sound. Whether you just want to drop down a semitone for a slightly deeper voice, or you want to take your tuning right to the depths of the earth by dropping it a full octave, you can do so. Take it with you. Built for the stage, this robust drop tune pedal has all the characteristics of an expertly designed creation. Tired of dragging your gaggle of guitars to live shows? The DigiTech Drop eliminates the need to do so by allowing you to access virtually any drop tuning you want, meaning one guitar should be more than enough for any performance. With intuitive controls and a standout design, it will be the centrepiece of your pedalboard.

    David Gage Realist Docking Station volume control - Withdrawn

    in EUBs & Double Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by 6feet7

    Bought a couple of years ago, installed, and never played live (and only about 3 times in the sitting room)

    Here's the blurb from the website:

    The Realist Docking station double bass volume control enables you to change the volume output of your bass pickup. It works with any pickup that has a 1/4 inch jack socket output and allows you to change the volume of your bass in situ without having to put it down to walk over to your amp. Universal Volume Attenuator Designed by David Gage and Ned Steinberger

    • Works with all Double Bass pickups, not just Realist.
    • Attaches to tailpiece without glue or fasteners
    • Adjust volume on-the-fly, no matter which double bass pickup is installed.
    • This no-fuss dock installs to the tailpiece without fasteners. Simply loosen the strings, mount, tighten. You’re in control.
    • Jack-Pot™ volume control provides flexibility for those who want to bypass resistance altogether. À la This Is Spinal Tap, this control lets you “go all the way up to eleven.”

    Deep Purple - Brighton Centre mid 1980's. Absolutely no (positive) chemistry going on at all. Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Gillan going through the motions and loathing every minute. I lasted about 5 songs.

    Joe Bonamassa - Hammersmith Odeon (or whatever it's called nowadays) about 8 years ago. The bass drum was so loud that my friend and I felt physically sick and left after 3 songs.

    Warwick Star Bass Pro Series 5 string - Sold elsewhere

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by 6feet7

    I bought this a few months ago, and love it (it's my third Starbass) but I've come to the end of my GAS. I just don't need it, and it's not going to be played as much as my other basses, even though I think it's absolutely stunning, so I'm of the opinion that it should go to someone who will play it regularly.

    Since buying it I've had the 'f' holes professionally stripped and sealed to match the binding (at a cost of £150) and changed the knobs to official Warwick metal ones instead of the plastic ones it came with (I'll include those too). It still has the Warwick strap locks and comes with a Hiscox hard case.
