What were we 'fixing down'? Picture would be useful if possible, otoh the deed is now done One plus of hot melt glue (not overdone) is that it can be 'broken' away from the circuit board when component replacement is needed.

Plan A: Have you got quality strings at the moment? If not change them. Plan B: Fit a low cost pre amp - Artec. Plan C : Pickups appear to be MM type. If they are the same size (dimensions readily available) wait until some quality MM pickups appear on BC at a good price.

The other way to get a good circular hole with the router is to use a circle cutting jig. You may also have some extension bars that came with the router. I use these and screw the bars / jig to the centre of the speaker hole. Works really well.

a) The Uprighter. DSP based, it takes fretted bass input and outputs Double bass through to fretless. Being DSP it might even do arco as well as pizz. possible controls: Thump, Air, Woodiness, Growl and ........ Sansamp Big 3 Super Deluxe This has VT / Leeds / modern (Ampeg / Hiwatt / clean modern heaven). 3 x SVT, 3 x Leeds and 3 x Modern. Clean modern should run between Acoustic / TE / Markbass and whatever. Controls as per current VT deluxe. c) Ripout. Again DSP based, sample a bass tone from recorded music, store. Play any bass in, get the stored tone out. A bit like the Line 6 thingy.

Just spotted this (whilst searching for a bass bridge - go figure). I have 2 x the 700s and rate them highly, they are 'middle weight'. Sale is nothing to do with me in any way whatsoever - no offshore involvement.

I am not sure if there are any 'non invasive' solutions. It will be fixable with fretboard removal, truss rod replacement and subsequent fretboard re-attachment. There is a recent thread on BC where another Warwick had similar issues. I am now avoiding the truss rod adjustments on mne.

Used many, many times. They have been excellent, they have been around for a fair while.

A while back I purchased a K&K pre amp and bass pickup set from this parish. The plastic label on the pre-amp was serviceable but looking a little tired. Mail to K&K in USA, resulted in very helpful and positive replies, "however, it is an older model, we will have a look". Further same day email communication, we have one, will post. A week later the "last one" replacement plastic label arrives in UK - free gratis. Excellent customer service above and beyond.

Looks like an excellent short scale bass. At that price the value for money is outstanding.

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1458917290' post='3012111'] Weirdly I've noticed on every bass I've had, and they have all been fairly different that I've always dialled in pretty much the same kind of tone and I don't vary much from that. No two basses are quite the same but long as there capable of a good basic well rounded tone I'm happy. [/quote] +1 Somehow I seem to make nearly all of my basses sound very similar. This encompasses active, passive, EMGs, etc etc. Physically they play differently, respond differently, some are more rewarding than others. Some record better than others (= more easily, less faff - Gibson SG, just DI in, add small amount of compression - result) but in a live gig at any volume that involves a drummer, all subtlety and nuance is lost IMO. Bass into PA combined with venue acoustics throws yet another set of factors.

Resist the temptation. There are two things to do: Sell your stingray, find and purchase a natural finish one. Which way you do this depends on your circumstances, of which you are the best judge. In other related news I brought another bass in today and divorce proceedings not started - yet.

[quote name='alembic1989' timestamp='1458751361' post='3010527'] My customised Kramer fretless. [url="http://s817.photobucket.com/user/23basslord/media/DSCF9325-1.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] If a 'new' 'trendy' company built that now I can not begin to imagine the eyewatering price tags that might be possible. Great looking bass, but I like 'brown wood' basses (have hidden French decor tastes).

Bought a bass body from Dan. Excellent communication and he will go the extra mile. Thanks.

Libraries great places. My mum was librarian as well. Political point: enjoy them while they still exist, austerity 2 / 3 / 4 ? is on the way.

These basses fall into almost unobtanium. I doubt if I could ever replace mine (unless paying megabucks). So though not cheap they are a once in a lifetime purchase these days IMO. I will not disclose what I paid for mine on BC, other than to say 1980s Fenders seem nuts money in comparison.

Many years ago I had a John Birch EB3 bass (serious neck diver). This had the strap button on the upper horn, back inside chamfer. did not help the neck dive. Current SG bass has the neck heel location and does exactly what yours does, same issues using strap lock as well. With my 'older' man profile I quite like the way it tilts the bass away from me. It places less twist (hence carpal stress) on left hand wrist. This is not much help really

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1458510634' post='3008260'] Try aimless noodling on that! [/quote] I suspect aimless noodling would be all I could manage - at 5'3" it will be a vertical challenge

Berlingo, way to big, had my db and kit in Nissan Micra. These days is no problem, you just need a MAN truck [url="http://www.milweb.net/classifieds/view_large.php?ad=69608&cat=4"]http://www.milweb.ne...?ad=69608&cat=4[/url]

[quote name='bassmachine2112' timestamp='1458379526' post='3007040'] I will not fanny about. Playing with drummer and guitar-500 watt minimum and a good efficient cab. It,s all about headroom and you might need it later on,buy once and enjoy,oh and you can turn the volume down if needed. I,ll get shot down in flames for this but just saying [/quote] [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]No flames here, I was (half) jokingly going to say 1KW, pragmatically I just use my 700W head for all situations. Small cab (custom Shermann audio 15", 6" + horn) for portability, Barefaced Dubster 2 x 15 (the destroyer of worlds) for greater heft. How did we ever manage with 100W PAs and amplifiers.[/color][/font]

DMZ 4001 in my possession. Virtually thes ame as yours but with P bass pickup and maple body. Heavy and a slight neck diver. Clarity of sound excellent and the string response is like no other bass I have owned, it almost 'plays itself' with TI flats. No tuning issues in hot to cold gigs. I drilled slightly deeper string holes under the bridge so that I could slip a spacer onto the ball end of strings and ensure the silks were not on the saddles.

Chinese corvette rockbass, Peavey Milestone III jazz type. S/H knock down bargains.
