Nice. Is that a different style of control knob? Apologies, I should get out more.

The one I owned was one of a pair that were made with the P pickup the 'normal' way round. If I remember the thing I was less keen on was that I perceived that there was amount of phase cancellation going on and I just couldn't quite get the balance of sound that I was looking for. Bear in mind also that this was the first P/HH pass I have owned which may account for this. The TTs are of course essentially Jazz basses with which I am considerably more familiar and 'know' where to go for a particular sound. I had the VM for about a year so it wasn't the case of running away screaming, but more a case of trying for quite a while to get what I was after. Token pic...

I never got on with the VM basses personally, but I love the TTs, especially the passive ones, anything but dark in my experience. My current one (passive TT4) has the Black Label pickups on too, so plenty of punch available.

I think medication is available for this issue.

Was that the red one on Bass Direct? I think we should be told.

@Velarian I think we determined early on that S might also be beyond the pail per Matt P's post so I agree that S>n+1. I fell that my postulation that S-1<=n+1 is still valid

Acutally, I think we may have a solution. If S>n+2 and we already know that n+2 is too many, then S is also too many. Therefore it is likely that S-1<=n+1. That's all clear then

Hey there Mr Zed I haven't seen you in ages, not since the gig at the Seven Stars to be precise; I hope you're keeping well. You would be most welcome to come round and try it once it's landed.

I've just taken a punt on one of the Sadoewsky MIC Metroline fretless J/J basses. Looks like v3 as some updates on the early runs and hopefully many of the issues fixed. Due this week all being well.

I might suggest the tier system to Mrs ead in relation to shoes and handbags. On the other hand I have become quite attached to my dangly bits

My sincere apologies

Have the other 11 fallen over?

So the absolute key test is now: Is S-1>n+1, could also be expressed as is S>n+2

I've had a couple and they have been very nice. Worth checking it's a wood body not the weird gluey composite thing. Ask for a pic without the pickguard and, if he'll do it, of the neck pocket. Hard to tell from your pics but it looks like there may be wood-grain there. The 'featureless' bodies are the ones to watch out for.

I used to own one of these and I have to say mine sat flush to the bass. There are the best two pics I have.

I think the only one in store is the Basic 4, the rest are to order. @Quatschmacher I have a TT4 here in Preston you are welcome to come and try but not quite what you were asking for.

Respect, unlined fretless and vocals. Wow!

Unlined here, and yes I feel your pain. I do the odd chord but not too much widdly widdly. More about inserting the odd harmonic for me.

I'm rather enjoying an imitation '57 transition P bass atm. That is to say the single coil p/up with the more carved body. Sit's nicely in the mix and with flats on sounds lush.

Or maybe Sparkly Kermit?
