    If you’re just playing four chords then perhaps, but I find a quick glance now and then is necessary when reading tricky music, or jumping up to do high fills etc.
  2. therealting
    LumInlay for sure. I have the ones with a black outline around them on my Sadowsky and both my Dingwalls, so even in daylight they are easier to see.

    Does the pickguard stick out above the strings?
  4. therealting
    So you are looking for more expensive six strings?
  5. therealting
    This is pretty much the six string spec I’ve always been looking for... looking around my music room now for potential trades... Are you looking to trade up or down? And what is the weight?
  6. therealting
    Hmmm. Curious to try these and compare to my Chromes... also curious how they were cut.
  7. therealting
    Thank goodness... I’d been thinking of buying it even though I have nothing to put it on!
  8. therealting
    Generally if you have to ask...

    The 1964 Precisions have different logos on the headstock (I know as I have one), so I’m guessing this was a mistake when the neck was refinished. Unfortunately this devalues the bass somewhat and casts a little doubt on the rest of what’s going on...

    Out of curiosity, how do you find the Nordstrand compared to the stock pickup?
  11. therealting
    Oh I’m not suggesting you buy it - just thought you might be amused by it!
  12. therealting
    If you want a really crazy 14mm spacing bass, you should try my 8-string Conklin in the Classifieds...

    I also struggle with the original Thunderbird shape. The D-bird balances very nicely, Sheldon has given strap placement and headstock design a lot of careful thought and experimentation. They sound pretty immense tuned down in the 3-pickup configuration. edit: I just realised you said sitting down. I haven’t tried it seated, admittedly.
  14. therealting
    D-bird Standard, surely 😉
  15. therealting
    Did this sell in the end?
  16. therealting
    Oh WOW.
  17. therealting
    That needs to be in the wanted section. You got me really excited there...

    Purchased pickups from Marcin and arranged to meet up in person to collect and have a chin wag about our basses. Great bloke and very hospitable. Would deal with again!
  19. therealting
    Oh believe me I know - I have a Sadowsky Metro J, and two other basses with Sadowsky pres in them. I really want a Sadowsky P though!
  20. therealting
    Oh man... if this were a P...

    I have tapes on my MIJ Mustang. The one issue I’ve had is grounding on one gig - because the tape winding doesn’t conduct, I had a horrible earthing buzz that I could only get to disappear by touching the metal bridge or controls. Very annoying!

    I think it looks just fine with a maple board. My Sadowsky has a 59 burst, maple board and tort guard and she’s gorgeous!
  23. therealting
    Phone torchlight works just fine. You can also buy replacement UV LED torches on eBay for a couple quid.
  24. therealting
    I have Luminlay on my Sadowsky and my two Dingwalls. I also have SIMS Custom LEDs on my Conklin. Doing Luminlay from now on.
  25. therealting
    What’s the scale, out of curiosity?
