There was one for sale some years ago in France at a decent price, when I was in my JD years, it took time to sell and I should have bought it, but preferred an immaculate white Mark King "signature". 🤷

Yes, they are!

Many luthiers are doing the same, simply closing their business when they have reached their retirement age.

No, they are not, it all depends on the price tag.

It's now totally official! 😥

With twin truss rods, the process is to act on the treble one first, after freeing the bass one, until the neck is as straight as you want on that side and then slightly tighten the bass side until there's a very tiny slight resistance. That way the relief will be perfect. All my Leduc sixers, but one, have twin truss rods, furthermore I owned several Alembics and, I must confess, some Rickenbackers and Rickenfakers too.

Seems like fake news to me as it's announced nowhere else... Or a huge scam as full payment is asked for orders... Wait and see.

I am #37553, a simple sequence of odd numbers.

I did, really good sounding, easy to dial in a pleasant sound quite quickly. The fan noise can be very easily almost cancelled by adding a second fan as the card (inside the amp) allows it and manages it, so both of them will turn at very low speed. I always use Noctua fans that are incredibly silent. For the switching noises, I never noticed anything bothering, maybe some people had an earlier version of the combo. But it's ultra powerful when you turn the gain to the right level, which is quite high as the headroom is huge. It's also an excellent electric bass or EUB combo and so light. Pricey for sure, especially the full carbon version, but worth it.

So did I...

It's been done on an NG3 for sale here:

Wait a bit until they settle in, and you'll like them even more. Amazing strings for that price tag.

Kaldgrass. What do I win?

I ended up joining on the 11th May ... 2015, like @Lozz196 to sell a bass, as I never was a forum guy, so never wanted to register, but it looks like I've become one, at least here, for some reason. Great forum I must admit.

Nope as the paper will certainly stick and remain partially on the strings. 😉 An old T-shirt is perfect.

In fact, they sound like the Thomastik JF, without the high price tag and their super smooth touch, and with more tension, of course.

It made my day! 😂

Yes, isopropyl alcohol will work, but beware with nitrocellulosic paint as it will damage it. It's better to wipe the strings with a cotton cloth as paper will certainly leave some residues, especially on round wounds. There are packs of alcohol wipes, certainly what the Ernie Balls are, but they are always more expensive than the usual bottle and cloth.
