The content of both links appealed to me about equally.

I've tried flats on fretless, and gone back to rounds. Elites stainless 40-125 on all four 5-strings and 40-100 on the 4-string.

Arrival - Journey of the Sorceror, Eagles Reflection - not sure, possibly Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, Bach, the guitar version by John Williams Departure - Toccata, Sky It's tempting to get Freebird in there too, as the lyrics can be read that way. Although if I should happen to crash the bike and die that way, "Bat out of Hell" would fit better. My dad had "Bring me sunshine" as his playout song. He died of cancer over a period of a few months so had plenty of time to plan.

I like light and small, so I went from RCF ART710s to Alto TS408s. First gig with them will be in a fortnight.

Well, completely context-free links aren't terribly helpful.

I've got three main gigging basses - Sei Flamboyant 5 headless fretted, Sei Original 5 headless fretless, and an Ibanez EHB1265MS with Aguilar DCB pickups (I don't take them all out to gigs, just one, plus a Hohner B2AV for backup). I've decided that another couple are going to get taken out sometimes too - an Antoniotsai 5-string (used to be my main gigging bass until getting the Seis) and an Esh Poseidon V.

Better looking than those ones with headstocks, and better balanced.

It's about as common as "Squire".

That's all very well, but I think I might be arrested if I turned up for a gig with a headless baby boy.

He should show A Little Respect.

It looks better as a doublecut. That bottom horn does need something doing, at the moment it looks rather as if someone has cut the end off it.

Just make it headless and access the trussrod at the nut end. Some day all basses will be like this.

The horror of the body distracted me from the neck, so I hadn't noticed that it's also a defret of sorts.

Unless the bass actually sounds like that. In which case, the bass is one to avoid.

Was the Axstar better than the EHB range? And why am I replying to a Nilo topic?

5.1kg according to the kitchen scales.

Bolt-on as well - aren't the Buzz line all neck-through?

"Its the most transparent and exciting sounding hybrid amplifier on the market." Even if one is to forgive the missing apostrophe, surely this is self-contradictory. If it's transparent, then it can't be colouring the sound, so it can't be exciting sounding as that implies it's doing something to the sound.

Truss rod slackened, relief now set. Fret ends are well finished, nothing sharp there. Bridge saddles reduced to minimum but action still a bit high. Two options - shim the neck or grind the underside of the bridge saddles down a bit. I shall give this some thought.

That will do it. It would need something a bit different to have the active and passive tone separate.

Stage 1 - take bass outside and open box Stage 2 - remove bass from box and take bass inside Stage 3 - put polystyrene box in bin Stage 4 - allow cat near bass

Like I said, the sound is pretty good, the neck pickup especially is very full and mellow. The neck is wood with an acrylic headstock grafted on to it. Truss rod access is conventional at the headstock, with a 3-screw cover. I'll be changing the strings for my normal Elites 40-125 stainless sometime soon. Fretwork seems OK, I'll have a better idea when I've got the truss rod and action set up.

Did your bass not also suffer? And if not, is it an active or a passive bass?
