All Activity

I've had a fair few over the years. I love playing them at home and there's been the occasional band where they've had an outing. However I generally find they end up stashed in a case relatively unused and get 'recycled'. On the odd occasion where I get asked to play a fretless line I use effects and the audience is generally none the wiser.

How do I change my vote? It used to be obvious in a previous iteration of the forum, but not so much now.

Yep only bare wood.

I remember an instructor in college telling me my welds were porous ... I asked him 'how do you mean?' He said 'poor-as piss!'

There's something about a fretless Fender P, it just looks right to me... And @Linus27's Warwicks are absolutely stunning.

I recently bought a Line 6 HX One and need to update the firmware to v3.80. According to Line 6 I need to use their HX Central software which I have downloaded and installed however when trying to run it I get an error message saying that “Line 6 Central cannot run with Administrator Privileges”. So far I have confirmed that the ”Run as Administrator” box is unchecked in the shortcut and the .exe Properties but that has not helped. I have also tried creating a non-Administrator User Account on the PC and still nothing. Has anyone come across this problem and found a fix because it is really annoying me? BTW HX Edit for my Stomp works fine but I also get the same problem with HX Librarian.

I've settled on 40-60-80-100. FYI, I also had a V2 bridge fitted to one of my Rics; it completely eliminates tail-lift, but the action wouldn't go low enough so I reverted back to the original V1.

Gorgeous setting for a gig Pete. Dave

I hadn't owned a fretless for over 30 years. Now have these beauties and loving them.

Nice one. Dave

Certainly influenced me. I've now widened my taste in music and improved my reading skills. Dave

Unfortunately you still hear that ‘women can’t sing rock’ nonsense. I’d say it’s harder to find a good singer than it is to find an audience, so go for it.

I'd keep the Jazz bass and buy a Precision. If you really have to, I’d replace the pickup in that. I own a Sadowsky Metro Jazz and wouldn't change a thing. I also play a PJ. Those two have been my joint #1 basses for 8 and 14 years respectively.
