itu Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 The only issue I have with it, is that the neck has winter/summer settings... The truss rod threads are well oiled, the tweak takes only few seconds. Quote
Bass Wielder Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 While awaiting my dream build (aka saving the pennies), I did this.... Lovely to play, hear and look at.....what a treat! 7 Quote
Bassassin Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 Compared to most of the rest of the thread - my very modest Sire V7: I might be alone here but I love the look of that lined maple board. 😍 10 Quote
stereoplayer Posted February 13, 2021 Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Both wired stereo. I’m building a third one, walnut body, bubinga neck. It will also be stereo. Edited February 13, 2021 by stereoplayer 2 Quote

Got fed up with the stupid BC design so I ‘altered’ to suit...me. The BC watchers will want to slay me...who cares🤓 Quote
bartelby Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 This has quickly become my 2nd favourite bass to play (first is my Aria SB Black n Gold). It needs a few little setup tweaks when I get chance to spend a decent amount of time on it. But it's so comfortable to play. 9 Quote
bassbloke Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Stadium 5 string fretless. Super light body with thick wenge fingerboard. 35" scale, Bartolini pickups and 2 band EQ. For those wondering, Stadium was the brand used for a series of instruments licensed by The Bass Centre and manufactured in Europe by Michael Tobias Design in the late 90s/early 00s. Some of you may remember the highly regarded MTD Grendel series, which were much the same. ESP LTD Made in Vietnam reliced jazz fretless. I don't know whether the whole bass is an ESP or just an ESP neck on an alder body. The relic job is very good. The neck is lovely. Chunky '74 jazz profile with a thick rosewood board. I swapped pickups for some Lindy Fralins with bridge rewound to vintage spec by Bare Knuckle and it sounds lovely now. Edited February 15, 2021 by bassbloke 7 Quote

They work very well and are powerful. But I’m soon putting the original Schecter PU’s back in. I’m having the tapped P PU repaired.

Hellzero Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Joe Barden was the other twin blade pioneer. Thanks for the reminder @stereoplayer. 👍 The new Jazz Bass : https://jbepickups.com/product/j-style-bass/ The new Precision Bass : https://jbepickups.com/product/p-style-bass/ 1 Quote
Bobthedog Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) I was not getting on with switching between my 35" fretted Roscoe and the 34" fretless Sire V7 and so have just received this today (px with the Sire). I am absolutely in love with the looks already. Fretless MTD Kingston Z5. Edited February 20, 2021 by Bobthedog 6 1 Quote
stereoplayer Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) My babinga fretless neck is done and temporarily installed on my MIM Fender J body. The nut(not glued in) is also temporary. I’m putting a babinga or walnut nut on it. The neck is for my walnut build thread. Edited February 24, 2021 by stereoplayer Edit Quote
