    I agree - never use steam. Steam can be useful for getting a glued neck off, but I quite agree, never a fretboard.

    The bass is not a stock model. Looks rather nice.

    Wow that's not a fretboard that's a veneer ! Mad skill that you got that off in one piece! /bow Set temp Med/High to start will and up it to max if you need to, as you start to get heat into the wood/tools it will become easier/faster to move onto the next section. (also i never need to add any steam myself)

    Probably a bit quicker - as you are moving it forward a few mm at a time, the wood ahead gets 'preheated' as the iron gets close - but yes, probably 30mins to 45mins

    Top man - thank you!

    Schecter do have some great basses imho . It’s true about resale value though . Dont know why . Looking at that picture , I wouldn’t have recognised Rick Savage . Perm gone . Looks great though.

    I use a travel iron on hottest. Not sure what temperature that is compared with a standard iron but it feels pretty hot to me so probably a 'cotton' setting or similar

    So this whole process takes something like an hour?
  13. MungoBass started following Gruvgear Fretwrap XL for 7-12 string basses, Chapman sticks and Double Basses
  14. MungoBass
    I have absolutely no idea why I have this as apparently being size XL, it is supposedly ideal for 7-12 string basses, chapman sticks, double basses and extended range guitars…none of which I have ever owned! Price includes InPost locker service.

    Forgive the poor scaling of the shots - I've directly pasted some random JPGs This was the thin fretted fretboard of one of @Owen's basses back in 2024. See how close the bottoms of the fret slots are to the bottom of the fretboard...that's not a lot of wood! The problem was a totally seized - and fully adjusted - trussrod With due warnings to Owen that it might well snap, I got out my trusty travel iron and sat it on the heel end for around 10 minutes, testing every now and again with a Stanley Knife blade: Once the glue was soft, I progressively moved the iron forward, sliding a steel sheet I use for bending acoustic guitar sides into and along the softened glue. Any thin steel can be used, a decorator's platter, a thin scraper - main thing is to slide horizonally...NEVER lift!! And you DON'T RUSH, and inch it along a few mm at a time: And eventually, it's off...and still in one piece. That is one well k*******d trussrod! :

    GAS is a a terrible thing. So there I was all content after a really good year, then boom and 'must have ' bass punched a mighty hole in the budget. So, my two latest acquisitions need new homes. They are brand effectively and we all know the G & L story so this is it, want a new one?, you wont find any better. Check out my other listing for my SB-2 or take a look at this... NOW £450 Anywho. 3 TSB Jazz bass, the G & L version, spicier pickups than your average J type bass in this price range. Beautifully finished and in 10/10 condition. Vinyl wrapped plate easily removed . I have been after a nice example of this since seeing Ritchie Kotzens 'riot'. I finally pulled the trigger on this new one in the early summer and very pleased i am too or was until i fell for 'another' way more expensive J beast. As with the SB-2 i'd love to keep it but needs must. I love the bridges on these bad boys. Fully set up with fresh EB slinkies. Can ship at buyer expense, pickup from Rochester or exchange somewhere near to the M25.

    He doesn't play bass on the albums so makes sense he'd also cheat with the vocals 😜

    This Saturday night in Shoreham-By-Sea will be the debut performance for my brand new 'Doobie Brothers' tribute show. Featuring a 9 piece band with brass section & percussion, this has been a labour of love... and to say I'm excited, but anxious, would be an understatement! https://ropetacklecentre.co.uk/events/the-doobie-experience/

    OK, you've talked me into it! I've subscribed for a year. All the best with your new venture.

    Ive had my eye on a Schecter hellraiser, but bit too much at moment specially for a brand with low resale value.
