Hmm. Hasn't visited since Wednesday and hasn't responded to any posts. May be all sorted. Would be good to know if we can stand down.

That needed a dedicated Jeff cam!

Would these have a trussrod?....headstock or heel adjustment?...Would these be built as per, Status?.....ps. love the idea of the 38mm nut. Thanks

Hi, I'd like some more detail on the offering here - I have a USA Stingray from 2010, so my nut width should be the standard 41.3mm (I'll check on that before I order anything). I'm not sure on the rest of the details though (apologies if these have already been covered elsewhere, and also if I'm asking stupid questions)...: Do these necks come ready for me to fit, or is there some work involved? I'm assuming they come with a fitted fingerboard and frets etc? Does it come with a nut? If so, what nut? (I like the compensated nut). Does the neck come with the tuner holes pre-drilled? And how about the screw holes for fixing the tuners? My neck attachment is the six-bolt arrangement - are those also pre-drilled? What shape & tuner layout is the headstock? Any chance of getting Luminlay dots rather than standard dots? The material itself doesn't cost a huge amount, and the labour would be the same I'd guess? Thanks!

The Rebbels are playing a pub Festival at the Swan in Stalbridge, near Sturminster Newton, Dorset. We played the pub last year and were invited back for the Festival. We were expecting a full FoH and sound tech but it appears there are two bands on two stages and we need to use our own PA. We are not even on the poster ! https://www.facebook.com/share/1AHNsDR6zk/?mibextid=wwXIfr I will post pics an reports on the “last night” thread.

Nothing like a necro bump thread: First Bass Owned: Aria Pro with a musicman humbucker (prior to this I borrowed/played a load of crappy basses from my school/friends etc.) 'Go To' Bass: Warwick Streamer 5 (mainly as it's my latest acquisition) 'Your' Bass: Musicman Stingray 3EQ - certainly the one I feel most comfortable playing and have my rig dialled in.

IMG_4414.HEICBought new from Bass Direct 10 months ago. Beautiful playing bass and comes with gig bag. Hardcore reliced instrument but no dings since purchase. Neck is smooth (see pics). Bought for theatre tour that has now ended. Spent time in hard case in the car or stand on stage - well looked after. Looking for sale, not trade. £1900 based in Wolverhampton, West Mids. Will drive reasonable distance to meet or I have materials to double-pack item well if you'd like to arrange courier.

more expensive but I've had great results with the Origin Effects bass Rig pedals. Even tho I'm an SVT man at heart I actually prefer the sound of the Black Face 64 one. Awesome pedal

Ampeg were a great company but time. and tech moves on. I never got the Ampeg Bug although I loved Trace Gear. I think Peavey have honoured the Trace legacy despite my initial fears. Like Trace, Ampeg have limped from owner to owner with none really taking tha brand seriously. Portaflex was a disaster, it took almost ten PF500 iterations before the amps were right, meaning you cannot trust them. I don’t think Trace ever had such a problem but the name of Ampeg went from top dog to has been rapidly and are now a brand rather than a make.

I'm really toying with the idea of getting another valve amp. Stage volume wise we are quite a sensible band and rely a lot on the PA to give the FOH volume. I genuinely think i could probably get away with an Ashdown CTM30/Little Bastard but recently I've looked into an old Bassman 135 as I see you can run 1 x 8ohm cab off the extension output and they also have a line out for FOH. In an ideal world id love to get my hand on one of those EBS T90's but can never find one

Differences between fretted and fretless are greater with slap that other styles - frets have a hug effect on slap tone - but I'd argue it's less a case of 'doesn't work particularly well' and more a case of 'works very well when used appropriately', one example for me being Bakithi Kumalo on the Graceland album (I may be repeating myself here) 👍

Stunning!

I must admit I don’t care for the look of the Venture amps I think as a new design they could of come up with a nicer and less wide design

You missed me!

I agree and would add Sade to that short list.

The only thing that doesn't work particularly well on a fretless is slap. I "could" play pretty much anything else on my fretless, although often it's easier to just go for a fretted bass if I'm not after mwah in particular.
