I know it’s conventional wisdom to put flats on a fretless to save the fingerboard or whatever but I’ve put a set of light gage round nickels on my fretless bass and I much prefer it. I think the sound from a fretless is dark enough without adding to it.

Actually I'll wait for the Z3 fretless

Id forgive everything except the wonky pickguard

Any links about ?

I'll be jumping on that as soon as it becomes available.

I've noticed over the last few years of so Thomann don't seem to hold much stock anymore. I thought originally it was due to pandemic logistics issue but it looks like its continuing on into 2025. I realize they're probably saving money by not holding loads of inventory but when other on-line stores have the same items ready to ship it doesn't seem to make sense to be losing impatient customers. Sorry if there's a thread already on this subject.

The little piece of metal that holds on to the tip of the jack plug was bent too far inwards and was actually pushing the plug outwards losing connection.

Paul you are a star, I just had to re-bend the jack catch on the + tip and it worked ! Thanks again for your advice !

What I found that there are loads of guitarists out there in your situation, and probably singers, drummers on the other hand are like hens teeth, the good ones are always in about 3/4 bands already. One way to get back playing is to team up with a decent guitarist and singer and go acoustic. If you're decent you'd be surprised how many gigs you could pick up. Be warned you might need to sing a bit.

Hi There I wonder would anyone have experienced this sort of preamp-failure. The Active circuitry wont work at all and with the battery still in place it will only work when the volume is turned up full. The bass will only work in passive mode when the battery is removed completely. No signs of broken wires from battery box or in main body wiring in general. Its a 'Basic' Model.

I’ve used it a few times with a barefaced 210 with excellent results , plenty loud on stage and as you say the pa is doing most of the heavy lifting you should be fine. Best of luck

I’ve used the elf with the barefaced two10 and it has heaps of poke.

Sounded particularly clean today in rehearsal 🤔

My Elf is so small I momentarily lost it today and found it under a pile of laundry 🙄. I don’t think thats ever happened to me before.
