I had one with a 36" scale - an absolute monster that came with its own flightcase (virtually unliftable). It might be worth trying a Hiscox Large Bass Case (you could check the dimensions at least)

To keep the string in tune at both ends, it is wise to re-string the bass as shown here: https://scottsbasslessons.com/blog/how-to-string-a-bass-guitar The only thing I think in a different way is in step 6. I push the string to the bottom of the peg hole, and then bend it. Scott makes only a small bend to the string.

I could write lots about this, but I did once wonder if I had too much gear when I was contemplating buying another bass amp. But I came to the realisation that as I don't tend to spend my money on anything else, I'm not in debt, and I enjoy it, then buy the amp 😁

funnily enough I reached out to Andertons for an update on monday " i got radio silence " I will be giving them a call next week ...

I've tried a few Octave pedal's as its a must have being a fretless bassist and for me, I found the Boss OC5 was the best for tracking and response. I will however add that I use mine more as a way to thicken my tone rather than playing it in the style of Pino or Tony Levin. In fact, that's got me thinking, I should really try and do that style. I've heard good things about the MXR Vintage Octave but I've not tried one. I did try their Bass Octave Deluxe but I didn't like it.

Might be worth trying a Warwick Buzzard case.

One thing that, now I think back, you need to think about is fret markers. I've personally never had mother of pearl or stone markers give problems - but plastic ones will, indeed, melt if the iron is placed directly over them. The trick usually is to run the iron close to, but not over, the markers.

Oh look, its feb.. "HI Woody, Thanks again for ordering your new gear from Bax Music. We've got great news! Your order has left our warehouse and is on its way to the courier."

There's a bit of 'it depends' involved here ref whether you are going to scorch the wood or not. A very thin cloth might be an idea (old-fashioned handkerchief thin) if you are concerned it might scorch - but not dampened, in my view. Dampened won't speed up or help warming the wood enough to soften the glue, it will dry pretty much immediately anyway and it could artificially expand the wood fibres which may affect the size or properties when it cools back down. As I say - it is the wood warming up sufficiently right through to the glue line that is the objective. If I had a fretboard that I was concerned about, I think I would simply use a lower temperature for longer. Patience really is the key here...

This is the wrong forum for that sort of threat. Please keep that sort of filth for mumsnet

Any update on this?

I've never found OC2s to be glitchy, unless your playing isn't very clean... If you're not ending your notes before you hit the next one you won't get clean tracking. I used to think most synth pedals were bad at tracking when I first got my Future Impact, but I soon realised it wasn't the pedal, it was simply revealing how untidy my playing was back then. Now I never have any issues with octavers/synths etc. But to answer your question, I would recommend: OC2 if you want a unique synth/sub-like tone. MXR Deluxe for an all-round go-to octaver that can do it all. 3Leaf if you've got a wad of cash in your pocket and crave Instagram likes.
