    [quote name='topo morto' timestamp='1360037347' post='1963892'] Some would be of the opinion that heritage items don't only belong to the owner, but to the world. Like if your house is a a listed building or something. [/quote] Hmm. With no disrespect to the OP or Mr Dead Mouse, I'm not convinced that a '77 P bass would be considered a heritage item, as they are hardly low volume production items and have the stigma associated with the post CBS production values. Therefore go for it!

    I have a few items that have been sitting in my box of bits for various lengths of time: SOLD [s]Firstly a pair of the strap end mechanisms for the Dunlop Dual design system (the bits that fit to the strap). They are an antique brass colour not sure if that's exactly the right description, but that is what they look like! £8 posted.[/s] [s]Secondly I have a brand new unopened set of black Grover Quick Release Straplocks (acquired in error - not paying attention). £12 posted.[/s] Lastly I have a selection of several sets of strap buttons accumulated from various basses. A modest donation to BC will secure these.

    +1 to all that. My first MBB and definitely not my last. Mrs ead really enjoyed the band too and vows to return next year. Big thanks to Alan, Dave, the band, the sound man, the catering etc. Good to meet you all.

    [quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1359620517' post='1957533'] Nigel what have you got against Violas exactly?? [/quote] Can we do viola jokes too, former orchestral player (violin) so have a stock - as well as violin jokes for balance obviously.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1359578767' post='1957047'] The Bass Doc on here. Not sure how he's fixed work-wise, though. [/quote] He's just made a custom one for me, top quality.

    Yes low B is awesome and at .136 you can use them for suspension bridges and towing cars too. I'm having thoughts about filing my nut and going BEAD on the Letts bass as it has a 35" scale.

    [quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1359659824' post='1958473'] Great choice! Here's lesson 1, from an organist and pedant twat: It's called "pedals". No hand pedals exist. [/quote] Good point, well made sir!
  12. ead
    I don't envy anybody, such a waste of emotion. I would love to be able to play the organ (inc foot pedals) though.

    Whatever happens make sure you leave suitably honest feedback. I have a similar thing that the mods were able to resolve - using The Force I imagine - and left unemotional feedback for the seller after a few days when I had calmed down. Make sure it's truthful with some idea of the the various milestones in the time line.

    Another fan here. I have them on both my fretless basses.
  15. ead
    These are good. I've not seen one in a round tin before (mind you I've only seen a handful).

    You could check out Brand X and Bill Bruford's solo stuff too.

    Refund received - still no contact from Minotaur. Really disappointed tbh as I was keen to have one of their straps.
  18. ead
    Btw the seller claims it's not a Warrior...
  19. ead
    What's with the really dodgy cover for the electronics, looks like an afterthought and made in different wood too?
  20. ead
    There's a few posts in the wanted section looking for value 5ers. Both my modest attempts at playing 5-string basses were on BBN5s and they are great instruments.

    Nothing form the various e-mails addresses I've found and tried rather sadly as they seem well regarded on BC; one of the reasons I went there in the first place. Escalated it with Paypal now.

    Here's mine Antoria Jazz c.1975 off the bay for £100. Decided to take the poor black finish off and found out it was a mahogany butchers block. Still looks nice and with a Kiogon old stylee twin stack knob plate makes some really nice noises (obviously when somebody else is playing it) [attachment=126005:Antoria Jazz 1975 05.JPG]

    OK, two emails, one through their website one from my own email account to the customer service address listed with paypal. No response to either. I'll give it to the weekend then I'll get in touch with Paypal for a refund. If you are ordering please be careful. Mine was a standard item so presumably straightforward.

    Having seen the man over the years in a number of guises I must declare an interest as a big fan of Mr Bowie. I can understand that given the amount of shape shifting and innovation he has given us since ZIggy exploded some may feel disappointed by the recent single. I find it to be very atmospheric with a few nods and references to some of his early work. By all accounts the album has some interesting stuff on it so looking forward to acquiring that in due course. Good to have him back.
