If your instrument is properly and perfectly set up with correctly fitted strings, you won't hear any strange overtones, but a perfect intonation. Yes, most people can't fit strings correctly, nor set up their instruments : it's a fact. I'm using LaBella Super Steps and Fodera Anthony Jackson exposed cores strings to this purpose : a perfect intonation.

This is the Chinese copy, horrible gloss finish, and awful knobs placement. Somebody's been fooled.

Can't agree more, but do they hurt ?

He looks like Percy JONES, indeed ! If it's a recent photo...

Too much Oban in Oban, certainly...

I want a bad reCaptcha reputation too. Looks very hype !

Should you prefer a P-Bass pickup instead, I'll offer you this one :

@Chris2112 No, I didn't contact the seller. That said it will be a sixer fretless (defretted) coming...

He he, knowing Manne basses for decades as I played one in a shop back in the day, I was also about to buy this one at this very slim price. I ended up buying another sixer fretless from Italy that I'm awaiting in the next days. Manne basses are quite unknown outside of Italy indeed. But once you've played one, you know these are high end instruments. I always liked their look and craftsmanship too. Their sound has something organic that is hard to describe. That said Dominique Di Piazza is French. 😉 Good pick @Chris2112 ! PS : It would be nice if you removed your black background for the text as it's quite aggressive to the eyes. 😎

Top notch work. 👍

Yep sounds fat indeed and nice too with the right amount of harmonics. Well done Harry.

Number 3 is my favourite. I hate number 4 which seems to act like a flanger at the same time. I'm using a JAM Pedals Waterfall, maybe it's in there too.

@ped : According to Chris Celinder, the serial number on the bolt-on basses is in the neck pocket. So, you'll need to unscrew the neck (again). My sixer was a neckthrough.

I checked my (numerous) photos, and on my sixer, the "serial number" was on the inner side of the back plate, but hardly readable. Maybe it's there too for yours.

Did you check the edge of the headstock for the serial number, Chris ? And below are the specs of the Greengrove preamp. User pot-meters : - Treble cut - Bass boost with center-detent Onboard configurations : - 6dB overall gain (dip switch) - Narrow/wide equalizer (dip switch) - Bright eq settings (dip switch) The treble cut is designed to cut 6dB/Oct @ 500Hz-16kHz The bass boost is giving boost or damping up to +/-16dB @ 40 Hz DIP switches : 1.ON = Narrow Eq (on bassbost) / OFF = Wide Eq (on bassboost) 2."Higher eq" treble boost 3."Lower eq" treble boost 4.ON = +6dB gain (overall signal gain) / OFF = 0dB Overall gain can also be adjusted on the mini trim pot-meter Power supply : +9volts DC Bass boost/cut : +/-16dB @ 40Hz High cut : 6dB/oct 500Hz-16kHz Hours : 200h (9 volt Alkaline)

Can't believe this crook is still on eBay. Reported him so many times...

Interesting article for all : https://thequietus.com/articles/29107-hawkwind-days-of-the-underground-joe-banks-strange-attractor-review

Listened to Space Ritual almost all day long at live volume. Terrific and amazing record even almost 50 years later...

Yessssssss !

Quite typical, but good news. That said a Spanish courrier has lost the Leduc I bought in late August without any other explanations than : you have to wait, it will show up. Some people still believe in magic... The seller has refunded me, so it's all good. 😤

That said, I talk in inches for the scale of an instrument, except for double bass where I use metric measure and in imperial measures for the gauge of my strings...
