A partial 6 string unlined fretless player here. I really enjoy it. Fretless gives you some wonderful mwah, and more flexibility in some cases. I prefer unlined to lined, as I find it easier to get the intonation right, when I see lines my fingers seem to be programmed to fall in behind the line, as you would on frets, making me very much out of tune! However, chords above the 12th fret marker are well out of my skill level, in fact they even start to degrade heading up that way for me. The 6 strings do allow you to stay in one position and open up extra notes though. Pro's and con's I guess.

[quote name='Paulhauser' timestamp='1448218380' post='2913776'] but I have to admit that a six string fretless ebony board without fretlines is really sexy. [/quote] Yep, nothing quite like it!

£1199 for straight sale- Limited time! For sale, a fantastic [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]Fodera NYC Empire, made in 2006 (I believe). I can't imagine that it would be possible to get any other Fodera for a price this low! Comes with black hard case and free insured shipping within UK. Happy to ship to EU if buyer pays difference in shipping. Would much prefer a sale, but could consider a trade if cash coming my way...[/color][/font] [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]The body is alder, painted black, with transparent clear pick guard, a three piece maple neck with angled matching headstock (like customs ones), rosewood fingerboard, Seymour Duncan single coils in 60s position, 2 band Pope preamp with pasive tone, 35" scale, 4.4kg fully equipped with Fodera hardware and black hard case.[/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The bass sounds and plays very good, and the preamp works very well in this bass. Sound like a fine classic jazz bass in passive, very fat if you want in active mode, and plays like a custom Fodera. The frets don't have noticeable wear, the truss rod works fine, and it can be adjusted with very low action.[/font][/color] [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]The neck on this bass is incredible, the best 5 I've ever played. The bolt on joint is solid as a rock and provides an incredible amount of sustain with no dead or even slightly weak spots that I can find anywhere on the neck![/color][/font] [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]There are many signs of use: as is the case with fantastic basses that play well. There's buckle rash on the rear of the bass, a couple of small chips and dings to the finish, light marks to the front of the bass, but the front is in good condition. There is some signs of fret wear, but not even close to needing any attention. The neck is in fantastic condition with only a couple of very small marks/dings that do not affect playability at all. The tip of the headstock has a couple of chips.[/color][/font] [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]Overall this is an incredibly playable bass with a great low B, some mojo, and lots of superb tone at a fantastic price. Just shout if you need any more photo's etc...[/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Photos:[/font][/color] http://s1379.photobucket.com/user/musashimonkey/library/Fodera%20NYC

I have purchased books from Ian before - perfect, no issues at all. But I wanted to express what a great guy he is. He's helped me out with my 6 string bass technique through Skype, a very calm methodical teacher, very helpful. So if you want to buy from Ian or get some bass tuition he's really very good. Certainly recommended.

Pete is a top guy to deal with. I shipped a Demeter amp to Pete and unfortunately it got damaged in transit. He was a great help, very understanding and extremely supportive to help me with the courier company insurance, he went well out of his way to help out (sending photos, videos and re-boxing up and shipping off on my behalf). Excellent communications, very friendly, completely honest and extremely trustworthy, goes above and beyond what you'd expect. Can't recommend highly enough. Thanks Pete.

Intonation - why are strings different lengths

[quote name='sharkboy' timestamp='1447194094' post='2905774'] Is it just me that has a little trepidation about taking set-up advice from someone called Buzz? [/quote] Me too, but I'm sold now, sounds good on my MTD's. 😀 -

Had the same experience with my out of warranty rh750 too. Can't complain about any lack of support!
