I’m certain I saw him live, demonstrating Dynacord amplification, 35 years ago at Sound Control in Edinburgh. Devastatingly awesome!! Edited July 25, 2021 by andy67 1 Quote

I've tried fretless many times and never mastered it...when I read threads like this I'm tempted to try again...I HATE YOU ALL!!! Lol! I've always been the same, not patient enough to put the time in with fretless, so always ended up selling them. I am having very large fretless Gas at the moment though.

gobasserk Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 I'll keep you informed about the porn of gold 😛 Quote
TheGreek Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 I'm sure there are owners here who would like to know what you took off and whether it's for sale. Quote
gobasserk Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Nothing to sell 😛 Ordered a fitting gold bridge and tuners. Found someone who can electroplate the pu rings incl. screws and the rest is just assembling Quote

Tbh it’s not so pleasant to see Possibly residual compound in the grain from a fret polish? buy a cheap toothbrush and some mineral oil (or lemon oil) and apply liberally - then scrub gently with toothbrush and wipe away with a microfibre Cloth. magic.

Guest Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 Thought people could cope with seeing this photo stolen from the TB BB thread BB615, BB425x, BBP35, BB425x, BB2025MX Quote
Guest Posted July 28, 2021 Posted July 28, 2021 A friend of mine came round to see my new bass today. We decided the difference in character between my Dimarzioed-P and my 424 was well expressed by this pair of photos Quote
