My go-to strings are Rotosound Swing Bass 40-60-80-100, but I've got Fender flats on a couple of fretless basses, Status or TE double-ball ones on my headless basses, various ones on some, and wehatever they came with on others.

Headless hardware can be very expensive, but don't be tempted to go for the Chinese "Overlord of Music" kit because it is utterly awful. Also two "ick"s for me are: Headless basses with normal tuners at the other end (eg. the Kramer one) - what's the point of that then? Headless bases with a headstock anyway - you might as well just have the normal tuners in the first place. I've done two headless projects from parts: The Rickenberger (based on a Steinberger Spirit) - yep, those are real Ric pickups, Treble surround, and knobs; I made the pickguard. A doubleneck whose hardware had failed and electrics were rubbish, so I replaced them (guitar pickups still pending fitting). The guitar's bridge is from a chap in Ireland called Matthew James Bean; it cost more than the entire rest of the instrument.

I've got an SB-600 which I happened across when I wandered into a shop.

I sometimes get a buzzing if I'm at the (in)correct angle and my Lutron dimmer is on. It was particularly pronounced when I tried a Darkglass pedal, to the point that I returned it. I haven't noticed it of late (but probably will next time, because of this thread!).

Me three - I was just going to post that.

A great synth for almost pocket money.

This isn't a pitch for donations from the BC collective, is it? 🙂

Some of mine have my logo on them.

I often go to guitar shops and have a look; if I see something I like I'll buy it, but if I don't then I won't.

Nice work @Clarky; hope all the donations help @AndyTravis!

Two things that make you marvel at the working of the human brain!

He's actually a genius!

"pro set up"???

It's spreading - AI is taking over the world! This just appeared on Facebook.

Yes - I think it belonged to Andy Partridge. Jimmy Bain also used one in Dio.

No - every customisation is an improvement to poor designs by the manufacturer.

They are tat, but good fun. My Kay-20B-4000 project just needs a pickguard and the electrics doing.

There are fans of his tuners.
