Here's the link on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Human-Base-Roxy-B5-natural-/390100589675?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Guitar&hash=item5ad3ce9c6b Note that many eBay merchants will entertain a "Or Best Offer" sort of deal...so make an offer! :ninja: Allen at The Bass Station is great to work with, he...

11/16" or 17.5 mm, measured string center-to-center at the bridge. This is the original set up spec as delivered new. I totally love this thing, btw and play it exclusively now. It's everything Ed said in his review. I find that it's also nicely balanced with no neck dive, and the pickup in...

Update: both of my 4" Italia Leather Straps arrived two days ago. Wow, the grade of leather and workmanship on these is excellent, I definitely scored a major deal on them. Comfortable right away, and it's not even broken in yet; these are last-a-lifetime, heirloom-grade goods here. They...

This was a timely thread, thanks to everyone for posting their strap info! I've been using a Monocase GS1 (sharkskin) for a while, it's 3" wide and been OK on a MIM Jazz bass but not as comfortable as the 4" leather Moody on my bud's Spector. Italia Leather Straps...

Good luck to ya, I think yer gonna like it around here!

Ordered my B5 in Natural today, delivery should be by Tuesday next week. It's that very versatility I seek, so that's awesome to hear! :cool:

Hailz to all you TB'ers. Been lurking here for quite a while, learning & catching up, finally registered and posted just this week. I started on bass way back in 70's high school (Overseas! In Asia!), playing a truly poor pea-green/white binding Ibanez semi-hollow body 4string, through a TOA...

+1 LOLS

And here I was, thinking they were required to come in mid-race to change over to the prime tusks and make a mahout-swap. It's a team sport, after all... And yes, I'm sure the 'mechanics' get crapped on, like in most any other series. :eyebrow:

Man, have you got that wrong... Unless you aren't trolling, and you meant in which case only you would know that. BUT, In some ways, you are correct, too. Used to be, F1 and NASCAR couldn't be more different, in almost every aspect. But over the last ten years, as the market and $$ have...

Nah, I just recognize his talent, and an opportunity for him. It's an unusual year for sure, and a driver that can place a car beyond...it's perceived potential, like he way he has in the past, might make just the difference needed in a close season. Aw hell, it's just fun speculation anyway...

It's gonna be a close one, they've been taking pains to ensure that... The winners will be the usual suspects found at the sharp end; McLaren, Ferrari, Red Bull(!), Mercedes(!)... Personal prediction - watch out for Alonso, he calls this Ferrari the 'best car I've ever raced', and it's...

A large desolate area, you say? Hmm, how about a glacier in Greenland...yeah, this is it. When I saw the OP's description, I instantly knew he was describing the 1997 PBS Nova episode (#2303): "B-29 Frozen In Time". Truly, a fantastic story of the recovery of the Kee Bird, a B-29 that, in...
