    String set advice please

    I do really want to try the TIs but the cheapest set I could find was £36, and I just plain don't have that much spare cash but they'll definately be my next set I think. Now, I wouldn't say I like Fender for strings but I've seen a set for sale waaay cheaper than the rotos or GHS, so how do...

    String set advice please

    Hi, I'm in the middle of doing my first re-finish and I thought while I was at it I'd make it a fretless conversion too. All I need to finish it is a set of strings. Therein lies my dilemma. I've never owned a fretless and so don't know anything about flatwounds. I'm on a VERY limited budget...

    Need L2k advice/knowledge

    Thanks for the info guys. cheers Sunbeast, here's a few (bad) pictures :) yeah, TDR, I hadn't thought about that :) Basically, before I realised there was so much variation in these basses I thought it might be a doctored tribute, but it has a US serial anyway.

    Need L2k advice/knowledge

    Hi! I need some L2k based advice. I bought my bass off ebay about 2 years ago now, payed £500 (about $950 at the time)for it, but I haven't been able to really play it until recently, because of a jack socket issue. Now that I can play it though, I'm worried about it's authenticity/curious...
