It all started with the maker lining up the top edge of the fingerboard with the through neck timber, and from there on everything went wonky! They didn't allow for the taper as far as I can see.

It's easy to make fundamental mistakes when lining up separate elements of a guitar. Check out Dolores, my BC Rich Zombie.

I have an Allen Eden NYC Jazz bass I am thinking of upgrading with a Glockenklang 3-band 5 knob preamp. The bass has Mings high output pickups currently fitted, does anyone know if these are suitable to use with the Glockenklang? I would welcome suggestions as to knob positioning, I am swaying towards this This is the other most likely option I am thinking this looks too congested This is the space I have to work with Any input gratefully received

My dad worked for Mike Oldfield when I was young, I've played on his kettle drums!

Har I have an HA3500, sometimes the fan is the loudest thing in the room!

I purchased a Warwick Streamer from Dave. He was an absolute gent and I would happily recommend anyone deal with him.

I purchased a couple of cases from Pinball, it was a smooth and easy transaction and I would happily deal with him again.

I purchased a Washburn bass from Davie, it arrived well packaged and ready for some big hair and lycra metal! I would happily deal with him again

I have a cheap digital vernier, its ideal for measuring string gauge. There are loads on eBay

That Mcintyre is a lovely thing

Ah well there it is

I have sent a couple of bass guitars with Parcelforce recently and nowhere in their terms and conditions could I find any restrictions on sending them.

I am revisiting mine, maybe I just need to try harder..

I could mention a nice blonde 51 rep on Gumtree at the moment but it may be against the rules? Apologies in advance if it is!

I have even tried learning to use a plectrum to play mine as my fat fingers can't cope with the string spacing at the bridge end, but I am just not a plectrum player. It's a shame as it's a great sounding bass.

I don't like 38mm and could definitely tell the difference blindfolded. I am selling one of mine for this exact reason.

@Al Krow I am not sure tbh, I think the first thing is to check the wiring, test the pickups etc. I have a set of pickups to try here too. @Barking Spiders I agree, I couldn't believe how nice it is for the money.

@Al Krow thanks! That looks about right. It's definitely no lightweight considering the compact dimensions - it's not much bigger than my Curbow but has noticeably more mass. It sounds great, but could do with more bridge tone.

I am pretty sure it's a V940 Active Bubinga - pickups are unmarked but probably Wilkinson. The bridge pickup is very quiet for some reason which may well be an excuse to upgrade . It looks good in the natural wood section of my herd!

My latest acquisition is a Vintage fretless, great for the money.. For me it was first Pino, then Les Claypool that made me want to play fretless as well.
