[quote name='Gwen Sacre-Bleu' timestamp='1340257886' post='1701713'] Hi, Jaydentaku--I have the late 90s DeArmond reissue of the Jet Star--made in Korea and it's the short-scale version. Someday I'll come across an original Guild '64 or '65 model that I can afford, but as of yet I haven't even seen an original in person. I love the asymmetry of the design and that bass has a positively buttery neck. How do you like yours? [/quote] I have the same version as you. The nicer of the two that were available with the Dearmond pickups. Mine is Tyrian Purple (solid metalic purple with silver flecs) and was my first bass. I love the sound it makes, plenty of low end and hardly any treble. I don't use it for gigging any more, not since '98 (I prefer a full scale). There isn't much info about them, but I do have the brochure somewhere which I have never seen online.

Not keen on that. It's rather squat

I am an advocate of gadgetry and love the idea of the Lightwave. But I really want to keep it simple with this one.

sander job? More like a tree chipper.

Thanks, but you must have missed the bit where I said minimalist and no volume or tone knobs! Lol

Welcome. You have excellent taste in basses. Which jetstar bass do you have?

ouch. I noticed he plays Deans now.

I don't have his number anymore. Whats the story?

So endorsement doesn't mean free then? Unless you are called geddy lee

I like the way it is advertised as a hot rod, yet is isn't. Its like calling a ford capri shell a drag car.

There seems to be a lot of advice out there on the interwebs on what are 'must have' pickups/setups for fretless bass. Yet, to me, it seems mostly conjecture passed of as experience and of course, it is all about creating your own sound. So, I thought I would give up researching and fire up a discussion here. I play in a metal band and we play in drop C. Our sound groovy, blues and deep. Doomy, stonery, sludgy. Most of my time is spend on the lower strings, making crushing, face melting noises. But with a fretless 4 coming soon, my options are increasing. I would like to be able to melt fasses, but i would also like to be able to harness a fretless tone. I enjoy noodling on my own, most of which is jazzy, blues and folky. So, I can see myself playing this equality in the band and at home. I am going to go for a minimalist approach, and hopefully only have one passive pickup, no tone or volume control. at the most, a killswitch. I don't want to cut anything from the pickup. From what I have read, a bridge pickup is 99% of the time, a given for that fretless sound. I keep reading that Barts are a good choice, as are EMG's. I love the sound of MM soapbars, but i don't know enough, to make an informed decision. What are you thoughts on this? cheers

very long

I have the answer. Putting it up the headliners collective ARSE! sorry, just venting

Can I case a vote for face melting over Germanium? I will then.

Well, yeah. I wanted to talk to you about it, amongst other things. As you say, i will give you a bell tomorrow.

Thank you! Thats a nice bit of spalted beech! I take it thats off the 6 string though?

doesn't muse man use an envelope filter with his fuzz?

I emailed it to Jon. i hadn't previously posted it. She is going to come up with something by the end of the week.

Not that I know of. Nearest would be their limited editions.
