  1. Guessing at a factory prototype? Having said that, my Yamaha TRB 5 II has much the same problem - side dots in the wrong place. I may have to do something with Tippex (carefully masked) in the right places, it would make it a lot easier to play.
  2. It won't be familiar unless the OP's a guitarist, I guess. It'll just be really short scale.
  3. Wow. This is left-field enough that I don't know whether I like it or not. (I own a Westone Rail I'll never sell, just for context.)
  4. Not a relic fan and I don't like this either. The damage is so obviously artificially-inflicted.
  5. Thanks David, appreciated.
  6. Do you play with your right hand only in one place? (I assume you are right-handed, because I have to assume one or tother... ) If so, could you arrange a mount with the pickup above the strings? I've intended to do that with my Aria Sinsonido for years, and never got round to it.
  7. Cool - though I think I'd rather a fiver. Does anyone do a bass uke five-string?
  8. Quite. "Custom" in the way that the results of dysentery are "custom" - unusual, for sure, but you wouldn't want to encourage it or spread it about.
  9. Unmodified, but lots of new parts·...
  10. If I bought it I'd only defret it... probably just as well I'm skint
  11. If I was made of money, I'd definitely have one of these Apart from the temptation to fit wheels and an engine, that is. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bass-Balalaika/223092154232?hash=item33f1541f78:g:Z98AAOSw-2dbQgBN
  12. Martinez? Not a name I know. Evidently long out of business. I'm fairly sure of two things here: - it's overpriced by about £100; - it dives like a loon. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Martinez-Fretless-Bass-Used-Excellent-con-5-piece-thru-neck-w-mahogany-body/113187459271?hash=item1a5a7f90c7:g:z~UAAOSwW3dbaW4t
  13. Chancer. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OLP-MUSICMAN-StingRay-Bass-Guitar-Ernie-Ball-Blue-finish-AH-56768/263864139315?hash=item3d6f873e33:g:4VkAAOSwk3BbaWCa

  14. Unique, I am sure. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eagle-Custom-Bass-left-handed/253798679216?hash=item3b179482b0:g:Qj0AAOSwH4dbZxQ1
  15. That's a much more sensible approach
  16. Currently 43. Peak was 57. (plus an EUB, an Ashbory, some other stuff). I need more space.
  17. Does it stay in tune decently? I am blessed with a singer who would rather buy some stupid electric tuning jobby than an instrument which stays tuned...
  18. Lots of people looking for the limelight, that's the ugli truth.
  19. The Basschat mandarins really ought to do something about this thread...
  20. It would be useful to put "pickup" in the thread title
