    It’s gone to a good home, buyer loves it and its cheap adagio flats. I cannot play it easily any more due to advancing arthritis in my left hand - still gutted though

    Take a look in the marketplace here

    Sure, but I had thought it said “kit” which generally comprises more than one component. This is why I questioned it.

    Ski jump?

    Not insisting on more support from my parents to nurture my desire to learn music rather than abandon me to just get on with it. A book or two would have killed the budget ?

    I read this as “putting up with two otters in my band …”

    This. i still say you’re actually me and that I have two accounts and randomly use one or the other depending on my degree of tartan-affinity on that day

    What does it consist of?
  9. Geek99
    I found that I was going all swing timing when leading with my index finger. I lead with my middle finger and it’s much more consistent

    I have exactly this and it’s good - the rectangular part works for acoustic guitar tuners as well as bass the weird horseshoe part is an acoustic bridge pin puller

    It has saved partners bacon more than a few times to be able to geolocate her keys

    You can buy radius gauges and so learn but also maintain the radius as you work https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwjLrfK6xLmCAxWZme0KHQrXBWcYABANGgJkZw&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIy63yusS5ggMVmZntCh0K1wVnEAQYBiABEgIQWfD_BwE&sph=&sig=AOD64_392f9atchnt_3QDbR1vSWViFfLFA&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwiT2-q6xLmCAxXARkEAHTsWAC4Qwg8oAHoECAUQKg&adurl=

    Or maybe fix a strip of foam pipe insulation at that height Simples
  16. Geek99
    Use a wood bounce strip at the level where the basses lower points hang

    Maybe it is stuck -it’s only a short wrench, I’ll find a longer one i got it for free, all i had to add were cheap nut, saddle and pins. If it doesn’t work out it’s not the end of the world
  18. Geek99
    Yes, you helped me with a bass ski jump i have the right sized wrench
  19. Geek99
    Still no bow back ill try tuning it and lowering saddle and see where I end up

    didn’t I paste a thread for you on this very topic ? @The Attic Man
  21. Geek99
    I’ve done this in an attempt to push the neck to conform , strings are slack and the bottles are just above the carpet rather than sitting on it kill or cure
  22. Geek99
    Worth drawing a line on the saddle bar with pencil before you start and then measure to bottom so you know how much you’ve removed

    The word on the street is that stiff neck wood on cheapies can resist a truss rod and they advocate leaving it maxed and left propped such that pressure is applied in the desired direction https://www.talkbass.com/threads/truss-rod-doesnt-seem-broken-but-doesnt-affect-the-relief-at-all.1120878/ @Andyjr1515 thoughts ?

    It doesn’t seem to shift much i got the guitar with a flat neck and a slack feeling rod-nut. It’s gone tight now but I cannot detect any back-bend in the neck can they simply stop changing the neck somehow ? The hex nut gives me the feeling of “shan’t” when I try and tighten it more

    @karlfer Must be waiting for a train then…
