Thinking about trying to find one of these in the UK. Some people seem to say they are rare. Are they really that hard to find? Anyone know roughly how many were made?

I've never heard of larch before, but it certainly does look similar (and a quick look around google shows some other larch examples with very similar grain pattern). Thanks for the info

I acquired a Framus S-380 Jazz bass from 1974 last year. It was really not in a good state when I got it. I was told by the guy who I bought it from that he bought it from some guy in a punk band. Pick up covers and scratch plate are missing, the body and fretboard was covered in many years of...

That's exactly the info I need. I guess Stringsdirect just haven't updated their website with the latest info. Thanks for your help on this. It'd be nice if we got those Fret Nation prices here in the UK too...

According to Stringsdirect.co.uk, the D'A strings are actually 92cm (there's a note on the product page stating this). it seems weird that D'A would get something like the length of their strings wrong .... but if someone has them on a Warwick and they fit then I'm happy to go with that.

I'm looking for a single tapered B for my Warwick Streamer. D'Addario make single tapered B's but I've seen that they're only 92cm long despite (ball to where to taper on the other end starts) and the Warwick needs 94cm long strings (due to the 2 piece bridge). Anyone using a tapered B on their...

I have the same bass. Got it second hand and the pickups sucked big time. They had 1 big pole piece per string. The magnetic field wasn't uniform across the pup so that on the neck pick up, when you did exteme bends the output level would drop (down to no-output on the E string). Major design...

you can make a low pass filter for almost nothing if you really want

I have an Ironbird body that I'm building a neck for. I've got a Delano MM pickup to go in it. The neck is mostly done, but has been resting for around a year now (read: I haven't had time to finish it).

I wonder if the 2 input jacks double as 2 output jacks as well?

I tried one out today and will be buying one recently. I didn't hear any clicking when using it. Maybe Toaster just had a bad unit.

Hello all, I'm looking to replace the P and J pickups in my Fender P-Bass Lyte. I was thinking about Lundgren Pickups. Anyone got any experiences with them? I play metal by the way. Thanks Rik

it's not that complicated. Everything just on loops that are midi controlled. The only complicated part is keeping the noise out.

Bass driver arrived and it was definitely a good decision. Killer sounds and easy to use.

I didn't find the M-80 to be that bad. It's just a DI box with an average EQ. Anyway I've just bought a Programmable Sansamp Bass Driver from some shop on ebay US. Even with shipping and taxes it's much cheaper than buying in Europe. I'm all excited now, but have to wait :-(
