Done. And don't worry Froggy... GAS can't be cured, only suppressed
-
Going to try this here because if there's anyone on this planet who can answer my question I'm betting they hang out on Basschat... Cast your minds back to the early 90s. The internet wasn't a "thing" and the only way to sate your GAS was by buying magazines and oogling the basses therein... And in the UK at this time there wasn't even (as far as I know) a dedicated bass magazine - you had to buy "Guitarist" and hope they had a couple of basses and amps and stuff in there that month... As a new bass player, just getting into the world of bass I would get Guitarist as and when I could afford it with my pocket money... And I remember one issue in which appeared a bass, and it's this bass I'm hoping someone on here might be able to identify. The bass was green - a transparent green finish and the hardware was gold. I think it possibly could have been a Bass Collection SB... something. But I can find no contemporary evidence of there having been a trans-green Bass Collection in the early 90s. Might have been a Tune Bass Maniac... Was definitely a modern bass and I think it was one of a pair in the article in question. And that's all I remember, but, weirdly, it's a memory, vague as it is, that has stayed with me for coming up on 30 years... So, anyone got any ideas? Bonus points for a PDF of the original article. Would even be happy if someone said "yeah, I remember that too...". Cheers

Would be great if they sold that strap hook as a separate item - would go nicely on a Hohner B2 or a Spirit bass. You can't get the Steinberger hooks like they used on the more recent Synapse series for love nor money... I had one that I bought to go on a B2A and stupidly let it go when I sold that bass... should have just taken it off and filled the holes.

Damn, I think I need a Stingray now...

Super hot Sunday evening bump - in the delerium of the heat... buy a bass!!

Just bought a Yamaha RBX1000 from Martyn - arrived really well packaged (we'll be adding the box as an extension to the house...) and the bass itself is wonderful. Communication and arranging stuff was easy as anything. Thank you Martyn!

GAS has struck... and now it has to be paid for... Open to sensible (and maybe even silly) offers. Two Fenders up for sale: [s][b]Jazz Bass - £450 + £25 shipping[/b][/s][b] SOLD[/b] Fender Jazz Bass in Lake Placid Blue with Maple in Neck in superb condition. Scrtachplate changed to white pearloid and a KiOgon loom added to give Volume/Balance/Tone controls instead of the usual V/V/T. This bass is in A1 condition with no dents/scrapes on the body and only a tiny nick on the edge of the headstock. [attachment=247077:20170611-AJF_3070.jpg] More pictures: [url="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2trg0euwvcuyb25/AACiDnqDDfYKB_FBCcf42m5xa?dl=0"]https://www.dropbox....BCcf42m5xa?dl=0[/url] [s][b]Precision Bass - £300 + £25 shipping[/b][/s][b] SOLD[/b] Fender Precision Bass - Fretless in Candy Apple Red in good condition. The body if from a 2010-11 Mexcian P-bass with original pickup and wiring. Scratchplate and bridge have been replaced and Schaller straplocks added. Only mark is on the back as shown. The neck is from a late 90s P-bass and is in OK condition (well used...). Tuners have been changed a number of times and the back of the headstock isn't in the greatest state. But everything works and the bass plays very nicely.

PM replied to, GEB7 on hold and photos of Hartke added. Such efficiency!

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1496685709' post='3313223'] I checked mine, which are very fat, low, flat, frets. Very different to the frets on my Fenders which are high and narrow. [/quote] Hmmm, interesting, have honestly (in 27 years of bass playing) never seen frets like that. Do you notice much of a difference from your Fenders when you play the Mighty Mite?
-
Don't think I've ever seen a bass before that actually had flat frets... is that original or has it been done afterwards?
-
Well, after an interesting weekend - I'm keeping the M81 and the Hartke VXL Attack is up for sale...
-
My second ever bass was an RBX800 - would love this... but no money. Would you like a Fender? Got a fretless Precision or a nice LPB Jazz... -
[quote name='samhay' timestamp='1496306045' post='3310306'] Are you tuning to the harmonic at the 12th fret? [/quote] That's the idea - problem is with my current tuner any minor tweaks don't register...
-
[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1496254047' post='3310001'] You can download a boss tuner app free. Gotta be worth a go for nowt! [/quote] Only if it works on Windows Phone Time to upgrade my tuner and my phone!!

Another voice to the "just buy it" chorus. Had a Sandberg TM4 fretless until fairly recently... very very nice bass.

Hope this is the right place to put this. I've put my Fender fretless bitsa back together and it's turned out quite nicely (see photo... ) Only probem is that the intonation on the E-string is somewhat dodgy. My tuner is a cheapo tru-bypass type micro pedal I got for about £10 off eBay - and I'm not sure it's up to the job of doing the intonation - I can turn the tuner about half a turn and the "needle" doesn't even move - so for adjusting something even more precise... well I'm not too confident. So, looking for recommendations for reasonable tuner that won't break the bank but will actually do the job. I'm leaning towards something like a Korg Pitchblack - but don' t want to waste the money if it's not the one... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:246094][sharedmedia=core:attachments:246095]

Would potentially be interested in trading the MXR M81 for a Sansamp Bass Driver DI...

This was up for a sale a while back but nobody wanted it so I kept it (for now) and gave it something of a makeover. Had to shim the neck and the tuners are a bit stiff. The back of the headstock is a bit of a mess because the eck has had at least three different sets of tuners over its lifetime. But it sounds great with Warwick medium Reds, action is reasonably low and it's fun to play. Guess it might stick around for a while. Quite pleased with the result [attachment=246094:fender-fretless-1.jpg] [attachment=246095:fender-fretless-2.jpg]

Trueno, sounds like an interesting idea. Anyone know if plug cutters like these (the 6mm one) might do the job? http://www.uktoolcentre.co.uk/Shop/p~133413~Plug-Cutter-Set-4pce.html
