    These metal neck Kramers do have a unique sound. I think they look super cool too!

    @kodiakblair thanks matey, that looks just the ticket!

    Out of interest, where did you find a 30" scale 24 fret neck?
  4. MoonBassAlpha
    Probably electrolytic capacitors on the preamp power supply not working correctly. If they are largeish, sometimes the vibration can fracture the solder around one of the pins too.

    Looking at it, I think you could fit a 32" 20 fret neck and move the bridge back 3/4" and have it intonate ok with the travel on those saddles. I know you said you weren't keen, but it's doable, if you can source a neck!

    I'm looking for a medium scale fretless neck that I can use as a 24fret short scale for my current fretless. It should work, as my bass has an unusual neck attachment. I would think that's about right for a bespoke neck. Unfortunately

    I set one of these up for a bassist in one of my drummer's other bands and achieved the lowest action on any bass I've ever done. The quality of the neck was quite superb! Glwts!

    Macca's bass turning up after 51 years should give you hope!
  9. MoonBassAlpha
    I thought I looked for it, must have man-looked! Thanks.

    I've been asked by a friend if I know any recommendations for one on one, not online tuition for a 16 year old lad

    When I get back from holiday, I'm going to ebay this with £150 start, and may even offer postage too, so put in your interest before it goes up!

    From the photo, the strings don't seem remotely aligned with the pole pieces. Maybe a tiny neo magnetic on just the e pole would help? A similar sized pickup with blade/ rail configuration might just pick the outer strings better?

    Aaand... SOLD to the man in the Clash t-shirt!

    Reassuringly difficult to destroy.

    Didn't get a photo, but Green Rooms in Witney had a rack mounted Mark Bass head, rack tuner and MB 6x10 cab the only time I went there. Included in room cost. Well impressed!
  16. MoonBassAlpha
    Thanks, I think it's priced OK, for someone who wants to rock out rather than just look at it, it should be ideal!

    You might have mentioned it...
  18. MoonBassAlpha
    Looks similar to the Vox standard defretted that I sold recently. Very nice sounding fretless, good luck with the sale!
  19. MoonBassAlpha
    Only if you haven’t got a 2000's one already...
  20. MoonBassAlpha
    You're welcome to pop over sometime and check it out. About 80 miles from Bristol.

    2004 Rickenbacker 4003 with the following upgrades: Hipshot Bridge and Tuners Seymour Duncan pickups Black scratchplate Approximate weight 4.5kg, just under 10lbs No case, original bridge, pickups and tuners not included. Condition: well gigged, presumably mainly with a plectrum as witnessed by scuffs on the neck pickup. various nicks and chips around the body. Main play wear is on the neck rear, possibly from chunky thumb and finger rings! Despite this, the frets are in very good condition. I got this in December, it required a thorough cleaning, the selector was stuck in the middle position and the bridge pickup had a wire off. The Bridge ground wasn't connected, having been attached with Blu-Tak. Really. The intonation was set properly since the bridge photo btw! All these issues were fixed. New Status roundwound strings fitted, 100-40 I can't get on with it, I'm moving over to short scale, and have a large car bill to pay off, makes sense to move this on Collection only please (Didcot), I've no means or desire to post this. Welcome to come and try this out.

    I'd love a Longhorn fretless if they did one, or defretted. That Ruby one is nice, wonder if it comes in black?
  23. MoonBassAlpha
    And a decent Hipshot Bridge
  24. MoonBassAlpha
    In with a whole 2 hours to spare today! Stated about 2 this afty. Robots in the picture looking liverish after Christmas. A bit of dubby electronica should cheer them up! My good friend Phil Beavis kindly supplied some synth sounds and electonic drum loops. I'm playing newly arrived Rickenbacker bass, Telecaster and acoustic drums (including my rarely heard beastly china cymbal). gretsch drums, Rogers snare, Paiste 2002 and Sig cymbals. Recorded in Reaper. 1 take all parts!

    All long gone I'm afraid!
