Very pleasing.

Check your nut. When I went super low (F#) it was deeply lacklustre until I opened up the nut slightly so the string (.175) sits in it properly. I had tried low F# before but had not got it to work. This was the answer for me. Take the next string up, put it in some sandpaper and slowly open the nut up. YMMV

Uh oh.

Truth bomb. Right there!

I can not trust myself to go to Bassbashes. I ALWAYS fall for something and buy one later on. Always.

Fair enough.

But (as has already been mentioned) dat 35" B tho. What is the point?

It turns out that the bass was not actually for sale, despite eBay telling me it was. We live in a strange world. But it was exciting while it lasted. The one there is not, the chase only there is.

Thanks. I am waiting for a response from the seller at the moment after BINing the auction last night, but the rest of the arrangements are in place.

Thanks. Lets take this to PM.

Hi, would anyone in Milton Keynes be willing to pickup a bass for me, whack it in a box and let me arrange a courier? If I do not ask, I do not get.

I like this a lot.

Hubba hubba!

Phew!

I suspect super glue is not the answer for the OP, but it most certainly is for Mr BB. Use it as a finger pad coating.

I have nothing useful to say. But ouch!

This is why I need to discuss this with real people and not just the rabid enabler in my head. I actually like the noise all of my basses make and I should probably leave well enough alone. Thanks.

So, I have an early Korean MTD Kingston I won when I was playing Ebay roulette many, many years ago. It has been roundly abused through the years with multiple pickup/preamp combos going in there. I should have kept the Audere preamp with the Low-Z switch . It was intense. Anyway, I LOVE the neck on it. It is (apparently) asymmetric. It is quite thin and just feels fabulous in my hand. I have other basses and sometimes wonder if I could have the necks re-carved into something similar. I know that if I change the mass of the wood then the way the instrument responds will change. It is entirely possible that I should not be trying to fix things which are already working. But I cannot help but wonder. Is this a thing people have done?

Newtones down to B and then a Payson .175 for the F#. I am sure a .175 Newton would do the same thing, but the Payson was there and convenient.

Mine is tuned F#BEADG. I can confirm it is superb for lower tunings.

I do not need one, but if you do then this might scratch that itch https://www.andertons.co.uk/rcf-ayra-pro-10s-active-10-monitoring-sub-300w/

I am looking at flats at the moment. I cannot deny, having his name on them has got my attention.

I had one of those. I sold it. I am a doofus.

I have a 36" 6 string. It is quite the machine.
