    Maybe using something like the PJB Ear-Box at ears height and a clip-on mike would help a lot.

    This is called free jazz by people who don't know what free jazz is. 🤦‍♂️ 😉

    No worries, here's the schematic with the gain trim pot that you can add if you want : https://bartolini.net/docs/ntbt-wiring-diagram/

    It's exactly the same warning with Ernie Ball strings containing nickel... I think it's only a way to protect themselves against the typical American habit to sue everyone for nothing.

    IIRC, there were two versions of the rapture, one with the full monty Barts and a gain trimmer pot and another one with just an NTBT without any gain adjustment. That said, you can simply raise your pickups to get more gain.

    Listen to yourself and if there's a bass that you love, but doesn't meet all your criteria's, it's certainly the one you were looking for, without knowing it...

    Excellent bass too, but beware that it's the MTD Kingston AG5, so not the American model that is way higher priced. 😉 Look at the bottom : http://www.mtdbass.com/kingston-series

    And don't forget the extraordinary Yamaha TRB-5P series, even if they are a bit more weighty (except 35 inches scale, but why do you want it ?), but definitely the best real PJ fiver. Way far better than a BB2025X.

    Sivcak is also worth mentioning with their TB series as it ticks all the boxes (except 35 inches scale, but why do you want it ?) and are excellent very lightweight instruments. http://www.sollerguitars.com/index.php?option=com_flexicontent&view=category&cid=30&Itemid=101&lang=en

    He eventually bought a router. Get ready for mass destruction.

    The sunburst was a 2 tone.

    Told you. 😉

    10.7 lbs as stated in the specs @Happy Jack 😉

    I did and I'm so disappointed. 🤣

    Never heard this term before, and I'm into instruments since more than 40 years now... Everyday is a school day. Thanks again @AndyTravis.

    The scale is not 34 inches on Kramer aluminium necks basses, but 33 3/4". On The Duke, it's even smaller at 30 1/2". And it's ebonol, not ebanol, to be really precise, the same material as bowling balls. But I'd like to know what is a German carved wood ?!? I sold all my Kramer's last year and the year before. GLWYS.

    Needs a bit of rust and it will even look better.

    Check the SynthAxe as you might learn a lot from this rare instrument. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SynthAxe And the way Future Man (who is Victor Wooten's brother, named Roy) is using it as a drum kit with Béla Fleck and the Flecktones : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Man

    Unlined fretless are not that common and the standard by big factories like Sire or even Fender seems to be lined fretless. Being a fretless player myself, I've always struggled to find unlined fretless basses. That said, I ended up not focusing on this as I don't look at my neck that much while playing, only once in while. So yes a fretless Sire P10 or V10 with an unlined fingerboard would be great, as long as they switch back to ebony, not doing this with a maple fingerboard, which is an heresy. Hoping that Marcus Miller is a BassChatter and that the guys at Sire will read this thread too. And I think Nathan King is a BassChatter or at least someone at Andertons is.

    Ask @chrisbass13 which courier he's using as he's been shipping some expensive basses to the U.K. and USA recently. The courier was way more cheaper than what you mention.

    Check this, that's what decided me to opt for a DP127 aka Split P :

    You believe right. 😉

    If you wax pot a CBS Fender pickup, it will become short-circuited as the wire ordered was a mistake (but cheaper, so is it really a mistake...) with a different enamel than the original thicker and heat resistant enamel used until then. When waxed, the heat will melt down the bad enamel and short-circuit the pickup. As usual with Leo Fender, who was still THE consultant and in charge of the orders, all the bad wire has been used before ordering some new one, but the waxing process was abandoned as it was an unnecessary cost... That's the reason why CBS pickups are NEVER waxed and can become (or already were) microphonic. Pickups waxing reappeared way much later during the early to mid 80's. GLWYS.

    This will be a (too soft) one use and bin file... I have a Dunlop fret file, now Gurian, since more than 30 years. To me, and loads of pro luthiers, it's the best available, not cheap at all. It will last forever, it comes with 3 different burrs (for narrow, medium and jumbo frets) and you can buy these burrs back if ever needed. I think it's the only one with that special feature. It's a 3 in 1 file covering all types of frets. https://www.allparts.uk.com/products/gurian-fret-crowning-file-set
