Rumple

I've played a couple of ACG's one had a asymmetrical neck that was quite comfortable.

SR5's have 17.5mm string spacing. I had the Overwater Perception 5 I owned fretted in the end as it didn't really wow me as a fretless. It does sound like it's at least worth you speaking to ACG, I had one of his filter based pre amps, a very powerful tone shaping tool indeed.

[quote name='PlungerModerno' timestamp='1431359636' post='2770457'] I find a magnifying glass makes seeing the shape of the nut slot easier. [/quote] +1 If you can get one on a stand even better, it really helps a lot with accuracy.

I had one of those for a while, the strings had been change so I'm not sure if that helped but it sounded huge if you played over the neck, in the end I moved it on as I struggled with the rubbery strings.

[quote name='Old Man Riva' timestamp='1431029395' post='2767178'] Was that from the Channel 4 programme 'Wired' (as I think it was called)? [/quote] That's the one, I've got a wobbly copy of it I transferred from the VHS video recording I did at the time. I'll have a look at that Parade link once I've got some work out of the way

I sold Bobby my Squier Deluxe Jazz Bass, what a thoroughly decent chap to deal with, the transaction couldn't have been easier

I quite like the body shape and the binding sets it off nicely.

[quote name='Old Man Riva' timestamp='1430948735' post='2766318'] I saw him on the Lovesexy tour in 1988 and it was a bit of a disappointment. [/quote] That's one tour I wish I had been to see, Some of it was shown on C4 back in the day and although it's well OTT it's a good watch.

You could get waterslide decal paper from Ebay and print your own, it only really works 100% if you want a black decal though as colours are transparent, on the plus side it's cheap & you can do a test on normal paper 1st then print loads of variation a each sheet of A4. Here's my effort. [attachment=191402:Decal Snap Shot.jpg]

Oteil left after i bought tickets but before I got to TTB at the RAH Tim Lefebvre doesn't really do it for me. I'd like to see Pino play with John Mayer.

I didn't know that either! I thought it a shame that Oteil Burbridge left the band.

I had one of those Ebay 'dots and bound' necks on my bitsa P bass for a while, very nice it was too.

[quote name='Christian Houmann' timestamp='1430678298' post='2763651'] Hahaha! I also love my Limelight P bass. I was close to pull the trigger on this bad boy But now a friend of mine is having it [url="http://s113.photobucket.com/user/Houmann/media/Limelight%20P%20with%2066%20neck_zpsbslxjecz.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] Interesting, when I asked about a dot and bound necked Jazz he said he couldn't do it, maybe that's changed recently? or only available on a P.

I'm a ig fan of Prince too, some of the 90's stuff is awful but otherwise an amazing body of work.

Excellent work all

I bought a set of J&D pickups from Paul, great comms throughout, fast deliver and a joy to deal with.

Very kind of you, not a problem if it doesn't come to anything. Here's what I'm after. [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/bass-pickups/pbass/passive/1104416_antiqui/"]Antiquity II™ for P-Bass® / 11044-16[/url] Thanks for asking your mate.

[quote name='mrn1989' timestamp='1430418251' post='2761289'] @Rumple. I called Rosetti and they will not sell direct and the prices on their site are the RRP, I was told to go to a Seymour dealer and get them to order it for me [/quote] Fair enough I guess but if it were me and you don't mind the wait I'd order from the US, it's less then £90 including delivery on Ebay, i[u]f[/u] you do get stung for VAT, import duty and the Parcelforce handling fee it's still going to cheaper if it sneaks through you have yourself a bargain I understand though that some people don't like doing that as it does make returns a bit of a 'mare should there be a fault with the item.

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1430408972' post='2761151'] I have scratchplate GAS. This is ridiculous. [/quote] ... and I thought it was just me, I spend the best part of a week gong back to look at it before realising the GAS wouldn't stop until I bought one.
