Could be the tube on its way out, do you have a spare?

Ahh the old make a name rhyme to fit in a song 😄 try this from .50 seconds

Trujillo owns the bass but handed it to the family and has stated numerous times any decisions involving the bass will be made by the family. In essence he is a silent partner. He stepped in when the family were caught up in legal battles and provided the money to settle.

Alas just got a bunch of adverts I couldn’t skip past

I can’t not say it, it was ‘Snorky’ my ocd kicked in 😄 my name is purely a matter of the first name that was accepted that wasn’t taken!

This popped up in a thread on the fleabay a few days ago. I put it on watch and deliberated while doing some research. It’s a 70’s model 450B fretless. Going through many old forums it looked to have its original Schaller tuners original engraved picks ups (mighty mites?) and seemed in relatively good nick throughout the finish, knobs, switches and covers. there’s some marks but it is 40+ years old. I took a punt when no other bids dropped and lo and behold it arrived a few days later in a decent box I had a quick noodle and it sounds great, the pickup heights were all over the place but are sorted now and the action seemed a little high but I stripped the neck and there it was, the shim from thick tape plus it seems someone used blobs of something that set to lift the neck. I’ve removed it and the action is fine and it’s playing lovely. I’ll strip it properly the weekend and give it s good clean and service but my punt paid off and apart from having to replace the wooden pickup surrounds (we have a 3d printing shop at work) I’m well chuffed

2nd time dealing with Gavin, another successful transaction. cheers 🍻

I did find this, and he does say he doesn’t have to do anything on the pedal but at about 50s in he goes into the menu to check the settings. worth a try?

Do you have the correct drivers installed for the DAW you’re using?

I took it as potentially a 450B

Is that a Stagemaster?

mad times

That was always played at the blues parties in Birmingham back in the day, you don’t get them any more sadly

Don’t turn this up to loud you’ll shake the neighbours 😄

With a new (to me) Rob Allen fretless there was only one thing I could learn Haven’t had sore finger tips for awhile but this is taking some practice 😄 Lovely tone Rob builds into his basses

Then certainly a refinish would be order and probably not that much considering the surface area to be painted 😄

Is that the same as the one Thomann UK, Bridgewood & Nietzert and bass direct are advertising in white?

Why would you do this? You set the height to follow the radius of the neck.

Sounds to me like there’s more going on with that neck than just a poorly built bass have you had the neck off to see if it’s been shimmed wrong? Is the truss rod maxed out or just spinning?

Third times a charm, just picked up a long time bucket list bass from paul, Rob Allen mb-2 lined fretless. Another services meet, another great item in excellent condition. Always a pleasure Paul cheers 🍻
