All Activity

So having decided that I'd like to set myself the challenge of having a go at fretless, and wanting to try before I bought, I looked at what was around on the cheap end of the market and my local music shop (I say shop, I suspect it's more the owner's retirement hobby and gear museum/hangout, with incidental music teaching space attached) had this, so I dropped in and had a look. Internet research suggests it was made in the Samick factory in 1994/5 and will have originally been fretted. The defret job looked good to my non-expert eye, the body and neck felt comfortable, it wasn't too heavy, it sounded OK unplugged - considering it had flats of unknown provenance on - and made a good range of tones plugged in to the shop Trace combo. The action wasn't exactly low and I noticed the G string bridge saddle was as low as it could get, but I figured a bit of setup attention could probably sort that. Oh and a previous owner had decided to replace the output jack with an XLR. Anyway though, I decided I liked it, so two hundred quid plus trade-in of a Marshall MB15 I no longer need and it came home with me. Closer inspection and plugging in at home and the imperfections started to look a lot more imperfect. I realised the intonation was badly out and the bridge saddles didn't have enough adjustment (away from the neck) to get it anywhere near right without reaching the string end wraps. And there was a huge amount of interference pickup, which only almost went away when I turned the tone control fully clockwise, which corresponded to maximum treble cut (??). Inspecting the cavity again, the wiring I'd thought looked passable in the shop now turned out to be a right dog's dinner. I started to feel I'd got a dud on my hands. Maybe I should have gone with the safe-but-boring Squier Vintage Modified 4-string that guy in Ashton with the leather sofa had on Gumtree… But then I took delivery of a set of lightly used Elixir stainless roundwounds courtesy of cdog, and went through the setup as I swapped them on, and everything started to make a bit more sense. Intonation came right in a more sensible place and I had to raise the G saddle a little to cure a rattle on the top end of the fretboard, which left the action still a bit higher than I'd like but definitely playable, and the rounds are easier (or at least more like what I'm used to) than the flats. And I've ordered the parts to screen and rewire the electrics and return it to a normal jack socket. So I'm a happy bunny after all. And I do think it looks rather smart in the black. I reckon the fretboard may have lifted a little bit at the top end, so once I've played it a bit more I may get an expert opinion on whether a bit of work would improve the action, but I'll leave that for a while as I'm planning to stick to the fretted until my next jazz jam in a couple of weeks, then play only the fretless and see how quickly I can get used to it. My own intonation is currently at the 'surprisingly good, but still terrible' level so some practice will be required.

It's because of the way the output jack is working: it's functioning with an on/off switch inside, so you won't be able to read the voltage with a TRS jack as it does nothing here except turning the preamp on with its tip. 😉

Anybody no any good music shops in Doncaster, moved to the area from just outside in West Yorkshire, used to be a big music shop on Nether hall hall road, but that went a few years ago. anywhere good for parts strings accessories and generally supporting local business?

Great buy!

There’s a number of caveats, but for a quick response, I’d put the MXR Octave back on the small board and run with that setup. The Stomp is extremely capable of copping all the sounds you might need. Additionally, I’d be more inclined to dump the DCX (I wasn’t impressed with either side of it) and utilize the Wren & Cuff Fuzz instead. But yeah, kinda largely depends on your type of music/gigs etc. Si

I love a happy ending 💖

I'm ashamed to say I have one thing on their list!

Lorne had many issues with regards to women (One decided to basically steal a bunch of basses) and Substance abuse. He was gradually selling off his collection as time went on to keep his head above water. He didn't play in any bands of note, at least during his forum years. I met him twice, both times in Plymouth at his place. We spoke very often about any BCR's that became available in the UK, He was a very giving but also troubled person. I was lucky enough to own his BCR Eagle USA Custom (Wonky), His old Japanese BCR Ironbird Bolt-on and an old Japanese Mockingbird with the full electronics package (Which I believe @Mr. Foxen still has). I was most upset to hear of his passing after years of him being quite sporadic in contact. The Ironbird did have truss rod issues and is hopefully okay now. I did offer to buy the Ironbird from Lorne multiple times over the years but he never ever wanted to sell it even in extreme economic stress. I would loved to have owned it. Both the basses I bought from him.

Talking of gear, I hope everybody going will be following Vogue's advice! https://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/article/what-to-wear-to-glastonbury

Cheers buddy, thank you for the kind comment 😊

A couple of little changes thanks to @tayste_2000: Swapped out my 3Leaf Enabler for the Shiftline Olympic MkIIIs on the Nano, powered by a Cioks Sol: Swapped out my MXR Studio Compressor for the Diamond Bass Comp Jnr on the Nano+, powered by a Cioks DC5: That is all for now 😀 Si

A pop up device might work under the circumstances…..and it goes without saying that the vapour levels will increase if not evacuated by some form of extraction. Best to wear an organic vapour filter mask if not being used already. Nitro vapours in high concentrations can be nasty.

Amazing! Thank you very much.

Yep, it ain't what gear you play, it's how you make it sound that matters, no doubt @Linus27 has got the latter covered 👍
