    ...either way thinning an already unstable board will likely make it more unstable?

    Great minds Joe

    Crikey, that's a but of a shocker Jack. Is it the board only or board and neck that have moved? I'm currently restoring an old German upright and while the board has moved a little the neck itself hasn't. If your's is the same, given the board wood in question has moved so much in so little time, might a new - and possibly more stable - board be an option?

    Hey Rabbie, I get the impression that quite a few folks playing 4/4s use Olivs, so unless they make/used to make a 4/4 set I'm assuming these might do the trick, any chance you could measure them for me, and possibly let me know the playable length also i.e., without silk? No rush mate 👍

    Many thanks @agedhorse, is this the sort of thing that if I get wrong I've wasted some cash, or if I get wrong I've damaged the amplifier?

    Here you go, Fender Fat Finger https://www.fender.com/en-GB/accessories/miscellaneous/fatfinger-guitar-sustain-enhancer/0992180100.html ....and a chat chat about it being used to correct the same problem as yours on TalkBass https://www.talkbass.com/threads/fat-finger-works-but-worth-it.1423115/#google_vignette

    Hi mate, is this a new bass? You know what you're doing with fretless so I'm assuming you've already checked the factors @Doctor J identified? As soon as I hear the words G string and Stingray in the same sentence I'm assuming the classic weak top string problem. I'm going back a very long way, but when I had this I used one of those headstock weights that corrected it to a degree (I forget the name).

    I've put this on eBay and Reverb, very happy to accept cash offers from BCers to save me the pain of both! Also happy to send to Europe 👍

    They're lucky enough to have a safe marketplace in the shape of US fanboys for all things US Fender

    Absof***inglutely, what a mess. Add a old school BBOT bridge, remove the PUP cover, and it would be passable, at present it all looks like an afterthought as opposed to a plan

    Now you've made your travels with desirable Boogie gear public I'd watch your step at the service stations en-route Nik

    Nicely put, my view also 👍

    I assume the drummer just wants to hear a well balanced but lower volume version of what he hears while playing acoustically, ear protectors only do part of this. It's a good idea to my mind, we used to play with a loud drummer who used ear defenders which meant he tended to play even louder, meaning we had to either use use in-ears or risk damaging our hearing.

    Bought a collection of bass bits from Steve, arrived quickly and packed to perfection with great comms (and I should say priced significantly below what they were collectively worth). Great to deal with one of the forum's top geezers, many thanks Steve, I'm sure there'll be more 👍

    Tempted to buy this just for the excuse of a drive and a catch-up Nik, even I don't need two though I've played/owned pretty much every Mesa Boogie unit out there from the 80's monsters through to the current wave of lightweight units and I think the M-Pulse 600 is still my favourite, I've certainly found it the best combination of power, tone, versatility, and usability (the Carbine M6 came a close second). Ridiculous how cheap you can get this gear for these days ........

    Thanks @agedhorse, I assume an off the shelf 7-pin to 5-pin cable's not going to do the job then?

    How many watts = how long is a piece of string As per previous thread, you can never have too many, only too few 👍

    Thanks Pete, I'm not sure, I guess it depends on how it's connected, @agedhorse @sandy_r any thoughts?

    Scene in Russ's studio last Thursday....
  21. Beedster
    Lovely 👍
  22. Beedster
    Hell yes

    Ah, that neck was mine, very very nice it is too. I've dropped you a PM re a possible trade that could work well for both of us @reggieboomboom

    I've put a rather nice Squier Classic Vibe Precision fretted neck on this and it's rather nice. It's a 40mm nut so somewhere between traditional Jazz and traditional Precision/Stingray territory, and a perfect fit in the pocket (as good a fit as was the Sims/Enfield neck). I'm happy to sell the bass with both necks or with a significant price drop with only the fretted neck (£1050 seems about right)

    Now it's back and working, anyone got any idea where I might be able to source a 7-pin to 5-pin DIN?
