When I went to pick up my Jazz after having a J-Retro fitted I couldn't get over how monstrous it had made the bass's sound. Big fan here. Love the mid controls.

Youtube, dear boy, Youtube. Search for adjusting the truss rod and you'll get a few videos on the subject. Then you can decide whether or not you have the courage to have a go yourself.

Impressive playing.

I wouldn't go for cheap basses normally but......I came across this cheapy from Thomann.

[quote name='janmaat' timestamp='1343741218' post='1754430'] Yes but hey this is ONLY about fives... And any reason is good, no, come on? [/quote] You must be a four string bassist, i.e you are prejudiced against four string basses. Maybe I'll just get my coat.

There's a whole thread of fretless porn. Plenty of fives there. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/136517-fretless-porn/page__hl__fretless"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/136517-fretless-porn/page__hl__fretless[/url]

Ehm, Colchester. Sorry, coat in hand.

I have two basses with chambered bodies. I go for it for weight saving alone. I'm not sure what difference there is in tone as I have never compaired the same pickup system with solids.

Ah, I've been look for a new musical direction...

Lovely, lovely bass, ziggy. You lucky boy.

If you're going to go for a heavier set like that you should think of having your bass setup when they are on. Going from a 'slack' set to a heavy set will change action and intonation quite a bit.

That looks like those Chinese EUBs that turn up on Ebay from time to time.

Likewise. I usually can't stand singlecuts because the 'uncut' bit is always too big. The proportions of this are just right. Interesting pickup placement.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1342634068' post='1738421'] remember roughly how much it cost you? [/quote] I seem to remember it cost about £140 or thereabouts. That was insured and I think 48 hr delivery.

I used UPS last year to post my Yamaha six string to Germany. Dropped it into the Edinburgh depot. They weighed it, checked it and took my money. Arrived with no problems whatsoever.

Thank you kind Sir.
