No worries mate I’m hoping to get the grounding sorted tomorrow so will do one ASAP 👍🏼👍🏼

Weird, we were just talking about my SB1 with a tilt neck. I think they are really useful with bolt on basses. I used the G&L guide which is linked below. The aim of the game is to give yourself more adjustment with the saddles. For example when my bass arrived the amsaddles were dropped low but I wanted lower on the G but it was maxed out. Tilt the neck a little and you can now raise it to get the low action you want. I guess drawbacks would be getting the tilt mixed up with the neck relief and getting more confused! http://glguitars.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/GLmanual.pdf

Ok chaps just disabled all ads for a day or so - can you let me know if you see it again (also what device/OS you’re using?) Might be best to cleat your cache first so we know if it’s a new instance. Cheers folks

Yeah I think at some point the SB1 got the thinner SB2 neck or something? Either way it has a lovely profile and a deep golden gloss finish. I really appreciate the micro tilt facility on bolt on necks, too. Enables perfect adjustment. Rather liking the cobalt flats, too. Can be tamed nicely with the tone and vol knobs, they feel great (low tension - I went for the lightest) and very full sound. I haven’t used TI flats for a while but I’m sure I prefer these.

Cheers bro yes the MFDs are great pickups. Nut width is about 42mm

We’re just checking the server now.

I’ve never had it either but seems like many have

Ok I’ve disabled google ads, let’s see if that makes a difference?

Alright dudes I picked up the bass this afternoon and have spent the evening cleaning and setting it up. Its come out properly nice - nicely played in but not abused. The neck is lovely, a really nice piece of maple and straight as an arrow. Haven’t had to touch the truss rod. Strung her up and used the micro tilt to raise the heel a little to give me more to play with in the bridge saddles. Now the action is super low with no choking. Great! Will post pics tomorrow - only one issue; there’s a grounding problem. It hums unless I touch a control knob. Goes nuts if I touch the pole pieces and touching the strings doesn’t ground it. I checked the wires and all seem ok; bridge ground is attached (or feels it, anyway) and all ok near the jack. Have defeated the him with my noise gate mostly but will probably take it to the tech in York to sort as it should be pretty quiet. The pickup is excellent, lots of sounds on tap but it has that kind or growly chocolatey gravel honk that I was after Cheers

I did try nylon tapes a while back but found them a bit too extreme in terms of old school. Really liked TI flats but I reckon the cobalts should be fun. They’re just sitting in the office looking at me asking where their home will be

Hello inspector! It was moved from elsewhere into the wanted forum. I’ll have a full report on your desk by the morning Over and out

Yes it's nice and slim - a good evolution of the original design if you ask me!

Nope, still in customs. Reckon they're playing it or something, maybe they had a gig this weekend. Not holding my breath!

Doubt they’ll ever find the body

I’m not sure about your distinction between a public and private advert? And no, negative comments on price are not acceptable. If the seller wants £XYZ for it then that’s up to them. If it’s too high it won’t sell. The market regulates itself.

Comments are fine, even just a ‘nice bass’ doesn’t cause any harm, it just bumps the thread. Don’t know why anyone would want to ban comments like that, nobody is making you read them and often some really interesting discussions can evolve. Comments on price are of course best kept private, the general rule being people can sell for whatever they like as its theirs - obviously any fraudulent or proper piss taking can and should be reported but I don’t know that I’ve ever seen that happen.

If using amazon or eBay check who actually is sending the strings. There are a lot of fakes out there (especially Elixirs) so make sure it’s a proper retailer 👍🏼

I think this thread has run it's course now and given Scott has responded I think we can put it to bed.

Agree - as someone who has been on the receiving end of such criticism and stalker like detective work I also feel that this is a bit next level and quite unseemly.

The bass has been in customs for about 9 days now so at this rate i'll be pleased to have a go on it before I die (edited topic title to suit)

The TC BH series - mainly because with the toneprint you can dial in/out a couple of excellent compressors to suit your different styles. And it has a built in tuner. Perfect for the job IMO. In fact I’m sure I didn’t pay more than £400 for my BH800...

Insane lol. Bit extreme.
