lemmywinks Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Fretless acoustic bass with coated nylons is such a great sound. When I took those horrible bronze clangy things off my acoustic, defretted it and stuck a set of nylon coated strings on it was an "ahhh, that's what acoustic basses are for" moment. Great score for £40 as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted October 10 Author Share Posted October 10 (edited) Fretboard is listed as Oiled Poplar Laminate, and was rough and dry. Quick and Light 1200 and 1500 sanding, clean with so isopropyl, and a wipe with a bit of Danish Oil left over night to seal. Had a go at the nut slots with some sandpaper to take the Roto Tru Bass strings at a hefty 65, 75, 100, 115. And a 1/4 turn or the truss rod. Son is getting into the into Dave Gilmore's playing on Pink Floyd's Hey You from the Wall Happy. Edited October 10 by PaulThePlug 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
