Hellzero Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 4 hours to go and £410 GBP. It's Sunday, so might go for twice this ... or not... Just try your bid @dmccombe7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 It's now above what I would've been prepared to pay. Mind you, I've got one, albeit the one where they let a nutter chop the corners off... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 At £570, I'd have looked at the one here instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I was rehearsing today so missed the final days bidding but at £570 i'd be looking for one that works so not sure i would have gone that high. Maybe next time. I'm still hooked on Sandberg basses at moment. I now have a notion for a Sandberg TT4 or Marlowe DK as recommended by my good friend and Sandberg Spiritual guide @Cuzzie Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to modern days, where since 1999 the royal measures are supposed to be part of the past... Yek yek. 😁 Even longer than that, the UK has been metric for 55 years. It just takes the more benighted of the population a long time for it to sink in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 The metrication of the UK has been going on piecemeal since the establishment of The Metrication Board in 1968, but still isn't fully metricated. The Board packed it in in 1980, and their final report said '...taken as a whole, Britain is far from being wholly metric." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard R Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 It's amusing to talk to my children in their late teens early 20s. They weigh in kg, measure in metres, drive in miles, run in km, drink in pints and have no idea what inches or ounces are. I measure as above, except I estimate people in feet and inches, babies in pounds and basses in kg. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I weigh myself in stones and pounds, I drive in miles and mpg. Depending on accuracy i measure in metric when i want accuracy and imperial when approximation does the job. I still call it a pint of milk but measure my home fuel deliveries in litres. Weird Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 That said, I talk in inches for the scale of an instrument, except for double bass where I use metric measure and in imperial measures for the gauge of my strings... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 And string spacing in mm. I do height and weight in cm and kg, generally measure in metric, torque in Nm, longer distances in miles but can switch to km (ditto speeds). Finding it hard to move from psi to bar. Oh, and I don't much like Al-necked Kramers, from my having a play of a former band-mate's many years ago. It got used as one of the instruments pxed for my first Warwick (I gave said bandmate the money that the shop credited me for it, £75). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was an Instrument Engineer and got used to the different pressure and temperature scales over the many, many years. psi, bar, pascals and farneygrade to kelvin altho kelvin wasn't used just as often.

Maz LFC Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Surprised nobody's mentioned that it is a 4001 not a 4000 😎😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General 4000 series. If i remember right the 4001 was generally active but there are many examples where 4000 were active and vice versa with 4001's passive. 4000 normally had the small pick up surround too.
