Help from anyone I am considering replacing my scratchplate on my bass for a wood one, (currently a pearly one which I don't like) Any ideas on best wood to use etc and what stains anyone has used. (will be shaping it myself) Pic below of bass in question

Hi mate I looked into these when I was going to get a new 5 string, I think makers like these and for instance hk guitars have poorer quality control so when you buy new you never know if its going to be good or bad. If the build quality and the setup is good then might be a great bass. (not sure if that's a good price as I was looking at a new one)

Thanks I have played a fretless quite a bit (one of my bass player mates has got one, (it's not for gigging with as I play in a death metal band but more for my at home noodling as I put it) But I am nervous thinking about defretting the carvin but if I buy a fretless I will have to part it.

Just a quick question to anyone I have a carvin lb76 which never gets used as much as it should but I keep looking at a fretless bass, should I get it defretted (costs please) or should I sell and buy a fretless (poss a 5 or 6 string) and what to buy if I did sell.

Hi Looked on this site for a few years but only just joined. I own the bass in my profile pic, Its a rmi vm 500 legacy (it was their one off show bass for the 2014 Frankfurt music shows) I have been playing bass for about 18 years and can say it is one of the best basses I have played and this has now replaced my carvin lb76 as my main bass. The build quality so far seems excellent and sound wise can fit into any genre Mark ramsey was also really helpful when I bought it from them. Anything else you need to know more specific just ask Dave
