Kev

That list is the most pointless one like it I have seen. He has included random custom order instruments as Vintage and collectable??? Just bizarre, I don't know who he is trying to appeal to with this list. Its honestly like they are all random choices.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1503126624' post='3355824'] Oh it's certainly reducing relief now when tightened. TBH I won't be experimenting just yet, the bass is in need of some fretwork anyway so I'll probably just chat to the luthier about it. [/quote] I lost patience and experimented. It works! Makes sense really....

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1503689162' post='3360367'] Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes! This is what fender should be building instead of the one he hasn't used for a decade as his signature! Ace [/quote] If you're talking about the shell pink jazz, he recorded I'm With You with the jazz, so not quite a decade. Not taken at all by the sound of the current Fender, would love to hear this!

Bought a bass from me, smooth as a baby's bum. Would highly recommend!

Incredible, isn't it? Sounds great stacked with a B*K too. I can't use a B*K alone now though, just doesn't have the balls the AO does.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1503337751' post='3357389'] They were cheaper before the thing that must not be named. [/quote] The thing that hasn't happened yet. That's the more frustrating thing about it. Currency crash based on uncertainty.

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1503333721' post='3357347'] ..in fact, [url="https://public-peace.de/shopping-cart?view=bundle&id=964"]I've built one for you[/url]. They don't do vintage olive, but hopefully it's not a dealbreaker. Lots of other colours to choose from, too. And it was so much cheaper, I've thrown in some Hipshot Ultralites and Hipshot bridge for you. Comes out at about 1100 quid. [/quote] Why did I think these basses were quite a lot cheaper than that?? Swear there was talk of £600 and £700 for a marusisjfhgysikz not so long ago?

Another green muff....

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1503100198' post='3355788'] Sounds like a plan and a good idea! Before you do though have you established which way the rod is working? Plug a tuner in and see what happens when you go each way. In the event that you are convex rather than concave when maxed then it might well be worth a try, especially if the rod just drops out.

[quote name='buzzardian' timestamp='1503081295' post='3355632'] sure [/quote]It seems obvious now you have said it.... How's your fretless 5th anniversary, similar to John's and mine?

[quote name='buzzardian' timestamp='1503080681' post='3355622'] you might simply take outthe rod and turn it around [/quote] Does that work??

TAB is excellent, for its purpose.

Interesting stuff, John. Interestingly, my 5th Anniversary has the opposite problem, a tad too little relief. Reluctant to choose heavier strings to sort it, but even with the truss rod completely slack the neck still doesn't move, straight as an arrow!
