    Tonerider pickups also well thought of and not going to break the bank
  2. Geek99
    I’d start with some adhesive copper tape keep your eye on eBay - I picked up some fender geddy lee pickups for £8 because the clown selling them set them to finish at 4am.
  3. Geek99
    Opinions differ - I personally think beyond about beyond £350 it becomes more about habit / cachet / vanity w hen it comes to real world usability unless you’re a god a squier classic vibe is totally useable for almost anything IMHO beyond that it’s a bit pointless

    Wouldn’t that be a full sized 88 key at that length ?
  5. Geek99
    Back then… first few photos
  6. Geek99
    Nothing much - they’re fine as they are not worth the extra unless it’s a lot extra
  7. Geek99
    Not sure - looks like one of those boat paddle Chinese ones 🤔

    The improvement in sound from changing bridge is minimal
  9. Geek99
    I’d just leave it as standard - they’re pretty good. Just shielding it with copper tape should be enough
  10. Geek99
    And what is your opinion on my predicament?
  11. Geek99
    No please - just enquiring if you can do it at some point Thanks
  12. Geek99
    That’s at fret 1 - the nut test
  13. Geek99
    @Andyjr1515 is a ski jump something you could sort out ? I don’t recall if you’re local though
  14. Geek99
    Money and time I’m afraid
  15. Geek99
    Anyway - both my basses, one with acceptable action and the one in question here, which does not, have first fret clearances of 0.3mm!
  16. Geek99
    No more whisky for me … or anything else been teetotal for three months now
  17. Geek99
    Sure - it’s 0.08 I agree - I was just questioning lone star about his suggestion of 0.76mm in his post
  18. Geek99
    Isn’t that 0.076? I checked the fender specs
  19. Geek99
    You’re right - I meant eighth
  20. Geek99
    Some form of mandolin?
  21. Geek99
    I’ll give it a shot tonight, thank you is heel raising something I can check with a straight edge ?
  22. Geek99
    Clarification- strings touching fret 8 when held down at first and last frets - is that what you meant ? i should have made my question clearer
  23. Geek99
    I’ll try that - by dead straight you mean no relief at all so the string is resting on fret 8?
  24. Geek99
    I think I have a ski jump most strings buzz from 15th up with 2.5mm at 12th . Relief is .3 at eighth with 1 and last fret held my stingray clone is down to 1.75 mm at 12th and it’s the same radius - so it can work unless it’s one high / low fret around 13
  25. Geek99
    Sorry - the clear note is when plucked between third and nut found a reference measure of .07mm at fret 1
