    I'm no expert (far from it) but maybe try getting the frets dressed? along with a set up from a good luthier that could solve the problem.
  2. Rumple
    That is a lovely colour for sure.

    Thanks for the kind words BigJim, much appreciated. I really love the finish on this, the way you can feel the grain through the lacquer is great, supurb instrument that wouldn't be up for sale if it had a narrower & shorter neck.

    At some point I mean to have another bass built for me to my spec by a UK luthier and recently I have been trying different basses out to finally decide what I do and don't like in a bass, I got this in a trade a few months ago, I love the way it looks and it sounds great but I can't get on with the 18.5mm string spacing, not dots on a neck or the 35" scale so it's time to move it on. In very good condition apart from a ding in the neck (see pics) it really doesn't notice when you are playing. Bart electronics Hipshot hardware Luxury Roscoe padded gig bag [u]or[/u] generic hard case if posting is required. [s]£950[/s] £900.00 collected or meet up, PM to discuss posting costs. Trade wise .... Pre 73 Fender Jazz, 60's Precision, Roscoe LG 5 or SKB 5, G&L L2500, High End 5 string Jazz Bass style, MM Sterling 5, Pre EB Stingray or maybe another SR5. R.

    Stunning, just love that top

    Nice! I specified those individual bridge saddles on my Perception, I think they look great. Good luck with your sale.
  13. Rumple
    I'll have to guess instead as I don't get on with flats. Good luck with the sale.

    It's been a while since I did an update on this so here goes: Due to some cracking in the finish meaning the lacquer on the body needs to be re-done I'm changing my mind on the final look, although there is a lot of patching on the applied veneer and they will show I'm going to have a much smaller burst next time so more of the teal stained veneer shows. So a minor problem I think will result in a better looking end result.

    Although not essential I think it's a nice touch and I would add it if you have the time.

    [quote name='rubis' timestamp='1340823325' post='1710205'] As far as hardware goes it will have a Duncan SMB4a, the preamp which EmmettC kindly sold me which I think came from his Stingray 5 when he updated it [/quote] Ah I remember now, I bought the pick-up leftover from Emmett's SR5 upgrade, I decided not to go ahead and add it the my SR5, it's winging it's way to Machines now. Is there some sort of fomula for calculating neck dive or is it just hit and miss? in the future I'd like to get a very lightweight 5 made but as you point out this may cause neck dive problems.

    Lovely lovely looking SR5, this was mine for a short while, I only moved it on because I have one with a maple board which I prefer to rosewood. Good price to. Good luck with the sale/trade greyparrot.

    Oooh this is going to be good. What hardware and electrics are you going for?
  21. Rumple
    Wow! what a lovely finish, nicest looking fretless SR5 I've seen in a while.
  22. Rumple
    Thank goodness I'm always a little more then tempted by this when it come up for sale.
  23. Rumple
    Thanks lowfer, I've come to the conclusion that the SR5 is to date the most comfortable neck for me but that kinda limits the choice of bases other then getting them made for me. I have a Roscoe at the moment as well and it's amazing but the neck is just too wide and long, I give a sigh of relief when I go back to the MM.
  24. Rumple
    Depends what you are after? you can try Allparts or http://www.brandoniguitars.co.uk/bodies.asp You could get one made by a UK luthier, not as expensive as you might think. R.
