I was once sacked from a band. Played two gigs with them after about 3 rehearsals and in that time I recorded 12 original songs for an E.P with them. I didn't play my best on the recording but I did the best I could in such a short time. I was informed at the same time as being sacked that I had also been taken off of the recordings aswell. They weren't that great and I was only doing it to get experience playing with other musicians and getting a few gigs in. Also this was done by text.

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1373037262' post='2133093'] You've still got time to redo the drums if you want! I converted mine to midi. I've spent a lot of time on the drums, and it's not even done yet! [/quote] Hmm.. I don't know, I might try that approach, not sure. [quote name='ras52' timestamp='1373039569' post='2133128'] Yes, I'm approaching this a simple mixing exercise rather than a full-blown editiing/reworking job. Are you mapping it to a click track? (Was it recorded to a click track?) [/quote] I haven't no. All I've done as of yet is added EQ, Compression, Reverb and done a simple level. I don't think it was. As there's a bit nearer the end where they go out of time and you hear the vocalist say so. May have to cut that bit out.

Had a crack at this today. I have no idea what I'm going to do about the drums though.. May just leave as is.

Ah

My only tip is test on another piece of wood first

[quote name='Grissle' timestamp='1372989463' post='2132595'] Actually they're Mandolin frets, and they're very small and give almost a fretless feel and require very little finger pressure to fret. [/quote] Ah, my mistake. Thank you for the correction

I know Leland Sklar uses Banjo ones. I think they make his slides sound smoother? Not sure how that works but that's what I heard. Less resistance I assume?

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1372889925' post='2131393'] Here's the first pic of the body (which obviously is not mine) for the bass I clearly didn't order - just incase Mrs ead has discovered this website [attachment=138247:Graft Recurve body 030713.jpg] [/quote] Or their facebook page Loving the grain on that

I personally think you should make it as Utility as possible.

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1372805655' post='2130318'] Been thinking about doing this myself. Can you still see the lines when you play? (Assuming your fingerboard is rosewood too that is. I fancy the unlined look but it would be handy to see a bit of line close up methinks) [/quote] Unfortunately I did it on a maple neck so I can't tell you for certain. I'd have thought you would be able to though

[quote name='Ian Savage' timestamp='1372777224' post='2129823'] What are people filling the fret slots with when de-fretting? I smell a summer project coming on... [/quote] [quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1372780536' post='2129894'] I used a load of maple veneer and superglue. Worked lovely. [/quote] +1 Works fantastic (except I used rosewood veneer)

Has anyone actually read the blurb?

Yay!

[quote name='dave.c' timestamp='1372618080' post='2127778'] Looks interesting man but I have to admit I don't understand a word of it! [/quote] +1

I glued mine on with a tiny amount of wood glue spread thin.

Hello

Never a bad choice!

Hullo

It would be rude not too

Are you actually going to make this?

Only just spotted this and I am jealous of that colour. Time apart makes the heart grow fonder and all that

By naked do you mean unfinished or oiled/varnished? with no scratchplate?

Woahh.. And I thought having 5 basses was a lot! Which ones do you play?

[quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1372345087' post='2124617'] I play better on an unlined fretless than a lined one. Maybe its because the position markers on a fretless ARE the actual note. Dunno, but my vibrato is more accurate on a blank neck. [/quote] For me I think that I would be the complete opposite. I've never actually played an unlined fretless but I really doubt that I could get the intonation as good on an unlined as I can on a lined fretless.

[quote name='CBbass' timestamp='1372341243' post='2124545'] They only made them for 1 year in 1997, so unfortunately not. [/quote] Oh whoops, my bad. Hope someone can help Edit. Just had a look, lovely looking bass, is it short scale?
