And this ... bass is on Kleinanzeigen in Germany: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/bass-gitarre-rockinger-fretless/3224745765-74-8511

Buying a Nord Electro 73 new is a very good idea indeed.

These, in your price tag, are on Mercatino Musicale at the moment: https://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_cort-b2-fretless_id8205089.html https://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_ibanez-ehb1005f-5-string-fretless-bass_id8272522.html https://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_marleaux-betra-headless-fretless_id8265629.html https://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_laurus-stylish-fretless_id8265614.html https://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_vendesi-laurus-stylish-fretless-4-corde-ribasso_id7705996.html

If you don't mind (that much) paying import taxes, there are quite often some second hand headless fretless basses on zikinf.com or bassic.de or mercatinomusicale.com ...

Excellent choice!

Very nice looking fretless bass, Chris.

As I'm in Belgium, I found that my quite usual records supplier is selling their CD: https://www.jpc.de/jpcng/poprock/detail/-/art/tulpa-monster-of-the-week/hnum/12534814 Will get it from them.

I quite like it, reminds of the bands in the 80's early 90's I was listening too. Congratulations to them! By the way, was there a CD released? When yes, I'd like to buy it.

Sold Lee a DIY 1978 Stingray type preamp. Fast payment, good communication, highly recommended. 👍🏻👌🏻

Sold Kevin a preamp, all was smooth and easy. A+++++++ as they say elsewhere.

Sold a preamp to Cheuk and, of course, everything was as supposed to be from a true gentleman: perfect! You can deal with total confidence. Cheers Cheuk.

The old Kawai ES-100 (now replaced by the ES-120) has proven its ability to be roadworthy as it's been used and abused by countless pro and non pro player as stage piano. You should maybe both, you @bass_dinger and @SumOne have a look at the ES-120. And almost all modern keyboards have the new USB (Host) to MIDI connection instead of the now oldish typical MIDI 5 pin connection: it needs 3 connectors to do less than the USB MIDI protocol and the new MIDI 2.0 does even more.

As you've noticed I'm a straight person, so if you don't want to definitely destroy your pickup by, for instance, reverting the polarity (even if I'm quite confident Rob installed a diode in all his preamps) as you absolutely don't know what you're doing (you can't follow a wiring diagram, remember), go to someone who know what they are doing and save a lot of time and money. Sometimes admitting ones own limit his the biggest step forward. You'll thank me later (after swallowing the pill, I know).

Why don't you fire the trouble maker instead, so A, as he isn't as good as he thinks he is, which is way too frequent...

Here is the best readable brand name I can get, but it doesn't ring a bell...

Are those strings made out of rubber band?

@Owen is selling his Nord Lead Piano 2 HA 88: Could be interesting for you... Here is its official web page: https://www.nordkeyboards.com/legacy-products/nord-piano-2/

Indeed, the pickup wire is going to the volume, but at the wrong place... I think you don't understand a wiring diagram as you didn't follow it at all. The position, place and direction of each connector is mandatory.

The Roland HP-508 and the FP-30 share the same keybed, known as PHA-4, and the same sound generator (SuperNatural Piano), so basically it's the same keyboard.

Look carefully at the official EMG diagram, you'll see what you're doing wrong! The pickup is entering the volume pot below, not above and you mismatched the position of the connectors on the tone pot!?! So the inputs and outputs are totally wrong. Double check everything before going any further.

Nice job!
