    [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1447663430' post='2909235'] Was it you that had the sandberg thinline? I've always liked the look of those... [/quote] Yes indeed it was. Lovely bass in every way.

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1447501945' post='2908087'] Here's a clip from my gig last night of my tweeterless S212. I get enough highs off it for my needs, but YMMV. [/quote] It really is all about the bass

    Interesting observation. My main bass had a [i]slight[/i] dead spot at the 7th fret on the G string. No biggie, but noticeable reduction in sustain compared with every other note. Then last night I noticed that the neck bolts were slightly loose, so I tightened them up, and the dead spot has now moved to the 5th fret! I can only assume that the tighter join has shifted the point at which the resonant frequency is cancelled out.

    I sold a valve to Rich. His communications were excellent throughout and I would be very happy to deal with him again.

    I sold a set of strings to Nige. A straightforward transaction with good comms. I'd happily deal with him again

    D'Addario Chromes are pretty bright.

    I'd say yes, having owned a few, but it's only marginally louder than a solid body.

    If you aren't used to setting up a fretless, then as you suggest is a logical place to start. That said, many fretless players prefer a neck with very little relief, and a lower action too. Nut height is also really important on a fretless - you can take the slots way down on a fretless. Gary Willis' [url="http://www.garywillis.com/pages/bass/bassmanual/setupmanual.html"]website[/url] is a good place to start.

    My old head IIRC. Terrific piece of kit, valve preamp, compressor and EQ. Lovely. Half tempted

    [quote name='tonyclaret' timestamp='1447217158' post='2905857'] Yeah, had the same via Facebook too. No response. [/quote] Tommy used to be fantastic at responding to email and via social media. Perhaps he's the victim of his own success and is now too busy making cabs to keep up with demand?!

    [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1447011673' post='2904178'] I use two of them with a TH500, no tweeters here and ... I've not wanted for tweeters once. [/quote] Same here.

    The more time I spend on this bass, the more convinced I am it's the best playing fretless I have ever had, which given the number I've owned is quite the compliment!
  14. franzbassist
    If it's from a shop it's been on the floor for a long time, as that serial number dates the bass to 2002/03! If you are unhappy, as it's from a shop I'd suggest you return it in accordance with your statutory rights as a consumer.

    [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1446763554' post='2902258'] And Greg Smith, who played bass on the 1995 Rainbow album "Stranger in us all". [/quote] That album passed me by
  16. franzbassist
    Neil Murray was in Whitesnake but not Rainbow. Rainbow's bassists were Craig Gruber, Jimmy Bain, Bob Daisley and Roger Glover, but not all at the same time

    Both straps now sold. Thanks.
  18. franzbassist
    Superb amps, crystal clear tones but with wonderful heft to every note. Keen price too.
  19. franzbassist
    GHS sold

    [quote name='zawinul' timestamp='1446494125' post='2899849'] looks like I've gone and got myself an ACG fretless beauty...... I'll let you know when the deal is sealed!!! [/quote] Good move man!

    [quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1446477678' post='2899636'] Shine on you crazy diamond goes on for a while. Good though. [/quote] I was obviously checking the vocal entry time while you were posting!
  22. franzbassist
    Floyd's "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" vocal comes in at 8:44

    Well done Pete. Stay strong and healthy.
  24. franzbassist
    Radial Bassbone and Providence Bass Station would both give you two inputs with separate gain and eq. There are more options out there, such as the EBS you mention, but those are the two I have used with great success over the years.
