The Glockenklang 3 bands preamp is a perfect match for the Nordstrand pickups. Use the switch as a kill switch.

Dooh, I misread it, I thought it was Hate us on Trustpilot...

Told you. 😉

Don't worry, it will. 😉

It won't, I can guarantee it. The magnetic field will catch the metal string "interferences" without any problem.

Floating around...

And then there is the dedicated Bass mode that nobody seems to know. Yes, I always read the manual.

I thought it was designed for Venetian Watery Djazz.

Must be done by bankers... 🤣

I do still have some sets. But it's better to PM me to respect BC rules.

I have a few sets of P2 shape pickups that I tried in one of my basses : Aguilar Super Singles 5, Delano SBC 5 HE/S Driver, Nordstrand Big Split 5, Nordstrand Jazz Bar 5. All are meant to be used with a 19mm strings spacing at the bridge. My favourites are the pure single coils Aguilar Super Singles 5 or Nordstrand Jazz Bar 5. But it's quite partial as I'm a single coil aficionado for their clarity and perfect articulation. The Nordstrand Big Split 5 are too P-Bass sounding for me and the Delano SBC 5 HE/S Driver are too polite even if you can use them the way you want (single coil, parallel, series with lots of possibilities). In other shapes, I never liked the Nordstrand Big Singles (too fatty) or the Fat Stacks (too low level in stacked mode with a shy sound, even if they are better sounding in single coil mode), but enjoyed the DC in parallel or series, really beefy pickups with balls. The original Bartolini Quad Coils in whatever shape are awful to my ears : muddy, unclear, ugly low mids and no top end at all.

There was no zero star possibilities, sorry. 🤣 Done too right now.

Check Aliexpress to find the faker. 😉

According to your photo, it's a Fodera Victor Wooten Signature 10 strings, so a very expensive bass ... or a Chinese fake.

Yep, Steve Harris has been playing and owning a few Lado basses, not only this one... People seem to have forgotten that. 😉

I knew there was something I read a while ago about making a carbon/graphite instrument yourself. I found it back, it's in French, but quite clear and easy to understand : https://lutheriecarbone.monsite-orange.fr/index.html

Collier in Belgium has been making graphite necks for years. http://www.collier.be/

James Jamerson and the Funk Machine. Wes Montgomery and his Gibson L5. Mick Karn and his fretless Travis Bean and his fretless Wal(s). Toots Thielemans and his Gibson ES 175 even if he introduced the Rickenbacker's to the Beatles and in the U.K. He told me the story himself when I lent him my ES 175 for a concert because his own "Bobonne" arrived with a broken head at the show... Jaco has used lots of basses including the Guild Pilot, an acoustic bass, another Jazz Bass, a fretted Jazz Bass with a P-Bass maple neck, and so on...

I met Christoph at noon for a lunch together with @Lololita in a pizzeria halfway and he brought the fantastic bass I bought from him : a rare JP Basses Lucii 6 Fretless. The bass was exactly as described and we had a great lunch by this sunny day, talking basses and many other things. Christoph is also a top bloke, but I already knew him as we made some deals in the past. 👍

I've been able to listen to it till the end. To me way better than the original, nothing fake here. What about a Vulfpeck cover ?

I'm still laughing as it's exactly this ! Thanks @BreadBin. Even @Lololita who is an absolute fan of Iron Maiden has been laughing to this. C'mon guys (and girl), laugh a bit and recognise that @BreadBin is right. 😉

Is it what's left of my former Status Electro Fretless, Harry ? The neck... 😬
