But I do have an irrational fear of black P's with white guards. It comes from every cheap, nasty catalogue bass being black and white when I were a lad. That's why I bought a black and white Attitude 2! 😄

I preferred the white body with mint guard to be honest. 🙊 But snot mine is it. 😎👍

I was playing my BB1100S fretless earlier and thought I'd lower the action a smidge. Had a look down the neck and decided it could do with taking some relief out rather than lowering the saddles. I remembered the previous owner saying there was an adaptor on the trussrod that he'd left on to make adjustments easier, but had thought no more about it. When I had a proper look to adjust it, it turns someone has taken an 8mm 1/4 drive socket and drilled four holes through it to allow you to put a small screwdriver or allen key through and turn it if you don't have the proper 8mm trussrod wrench. What a genius idea. It stays snuggly in place held by the wood of the neck but turns easily. With a flatter board and some overdrive it absolutely growls now, mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah for days. Socket left in place, The trussrod nut, The 8mm socket,

I bet beetroot would be good.

One of these?

I've had to remove it to replace side panels on pickups and it's probably the hardest/toughest coating I've come across. If you spray a bass, make sure you never want to remove it. 😁

That's the stuff, black and green box/containers. It would actually be fantastic for speaker cabs but I reckon a cool effect on the right bass.

With all the various amber tints you can get, I think your turmeric rub has the most authentic aged wood varnish look of them all. I wonder how UV fast it is. Have you used it before?

Look up Raptor butt liner, fnar. It's a super heavy duty textured coating designed for pick-up butts. Pretty much indestructible and irremovable, but although it has a very coarse texture the peaks are rounded, not sharp, so it's actually smooth to run your hands over, if that makes sense. Highly textured but semi gloss and tactile rather than matt and rough. Can be applied with a gun or a roller.

Wow, a dream duo. 😍 Quite possibly Yamaha's best basses, old and new. Come on then, which one's the best? 😁

From reading the Warman website I seem to remember that inductance (Henries) is as, or more, useful a measurement as resistance to estimating a pickups tone, but I can't remember why. As far as I'm concerned electricity is witchcraft.

Reverse P pickup. 😉

There's a DeArmond twin single coil pickup, black one just come up on facebook marketplace in Bristol. Comes with a Bass Centre gig bag and Laney 50w amp for £50. If I was closer I'd be grabbing that for a bit of fun. If you're near Bristol, go grab it. 😁

Why do I feel the need to be dressed as batman while playing that? It's definitely cool. 😎

And a sonically non existent but huge visual change of my Variax. Before, After,

A visually subtle but sonically strong change to my BB424X. Before picture (sorry it's blurry). After picture.

Seems fair. 😁
