    Right - I’ve read this thread a few times. heres my suggestion. tune the bass up to desired pitch. slide some masking tape under the strings - behind the nut. dab some clear nail varnish around where you want the silks to end. then get a craft knife or scalpel and trim the excess silk off. should stop the fraying and mean the silks all match. someone mentioned heat shrink tubing too. nice idea. Each to their own.

    wow - lovely. Very similar to a 77 I had. And in much better nick than my 75! 😍
  3. AndyTravis
    Well. This is lovely. Woo. He’s ok - I’m sure he’ll end up quite a gifted player 😂😉
  4. AndyTravis
    Ok...ok...listening.

    I said this a while ago in a drunken chat with Lee at Ashdown.

    Just had a quick noodle - absolute relief as the count in 1/2/3/4 and recorded 16 bars along with a loop, not a blip. Marvellous. The GarageBand Opus shall begin toot sweet and no expense shall be spared in its production. Not really, I have two bass parts to record for a chap in Ireland. One fretless, one Fretted.

    It’s 2008 - they didn’t make these in 1998. Its lovely - needs a tort guard then would look like a newer version of my 70’s p.
  12. AndyTravis

    I really enjoy the Spector NS body shape, but whenever I sit with them I end up hunched over them. I’m comfiest with a BB or precision shape - Jazz bass too - ergonomically they work for me. I say fair play to Ashdown for giving it a go - as I mentioned earlier, I think I’m going to start a thread on bass designs - see what turns up.
  21. AndyTravis
    The shape - not into the finish/woods on either really.
  22. AndyTravis
    Looks great - that paint job is brilliant too.
  23. AndyTravis
    @spectoremg - this linear setup suits the lines more.
  24. AndyTravis
    Yeah - really elegant. That control layout is a shame...but love the shape

    Over the course of 24 years playing - and working in the Guitar trade for 12 of those. And a dirty habit. I went through a foolish stage of having duplicates with flats and rounds. That was stupid - and before I had kids.
