    It takes a bit of experience...but I've never lost/wrecked a fretboard yet. The absolute must is NOT to rush and NOT to try to lever it off.

    I purchased this new in November last year. I was inspired to upgrade after buying an Ibanez TMB30. The spec is listed below. I’ve gigged it twice and it’s a fantastic bass. It looks and plays great and I’ll be sad to see it go. I’m selling it as part of my wind down. It is in mint condition. It weighs 7.8lb. The price includes UK delivery. Body Body Shape: Marcus Miller Small J-Style Body Material: North American Alder Neck Neck Material: Hard Maple (Satin Finish) Neck Profile: C-Shape Neck Joint: 4-Bolt Steel Square Plate Scale Length: 30" (762 mm) Fingerboard Material: Hard Maple, Edgeless (Rolled Edges) Fingerboard Radius: 9.5" (241 mm) Frets: 20, Medium Inlays: Black Dot String Nut: Bone (38 mm) Electronics Pickups: Marcus Super PJ Revolution Set Controls: Volume (Neck Pickup), Volume (Bridge Pickup), Tone (Master) Hardware Bridge: Marcus Miller Vintage-S Tuners: Premium Open-Gear Control Knobs: Modern Black Aluminium Hardware Finish: Chrome

    Put an old 2 band in it then! The 2 band is the vital component. There's a few good videos looking at the EQ curve and shelving of the 2 band compared to the later preamps. The 3 bands don't just slap another control in the middle, the entire thing is different. My bitsa Pingray has the Aguilar M pickup and their spot on recreation of the original 2 band and it sounds like an original - and no weak G string either.

    So, playing in a female-fronted Americana trio, I thought it would be nice to have a low D available to me to widen out the tonal palette. When our own @olihayhurst advertised one of these on this very forum I couldn’t resist. When we were an electric band I used to do the same trick with the d-tuner on my fretless Tony Franklin precision bass, so I knew what to expect but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised by the accuracy and stability of tuning as you from E to D to E again. The supplied Hipshot instructions made installation easy, including trimming back the silks on the E string to clear the bridge. First gig with it will be this Saturday afternoon and I am looking forward to unleashing the low D on the unsuspecting passing trade at Billy Bootleggers in Newcastle upon Tyne.

    My uneducated guess is some connection desperately needing Deoxit. I would put cables to both FX loops, and if there are any other similar connections in the back (pre/power), put a cable there, too. If this doesn't help, the next place could be input jack solderings to the PCBA. After that the next steps would be all connections between boards, pots and so on. Deeper and deeper.

    These are not new but still sound and feel great! Ideal if you want to try nylon tape wounds without forking out £60 on a new set. Weird gauges of 40, 75, 90 and 115, however the tension is quite low.

    No idea what model this is but it's definitely a schecter bass. I know he was a long term user of Washburn and Jackson basses

    I'm not keen on the looks of singlecuts [1], although I do have one - a Barcus 6-string fretless that was feeling unwanted at a Gardiner Houlgate auction, so I took pity on it. Very nice to play, and the top unhorn slopes to the neck rather than being one of those (like the Ibanez above) where the unhorn slopes back towards the bridge giving it a Snoopy nose. Other than the looks, there's nothing really to differentiate this from other basses. The neck is very playable, it sounds good. [1] Except Les Pauls, though I'm not so keen on the basses

    How about Inglorious Times, or (In)Glorious Times? without getting too political it's widely acknowledged that we're at tipping points of many descriptions, and most of them are the result of inequality and division.

    how hot does the iron need to be? also, it's fretless, will I burn the fingerboard wood? Can I put a cloth over the board to help

    For me the difference has been the need to adjust the bridge height, while swapping from a set to another (GHS and D'Addario). Soundwise I cannot say anything reasonable: when changing an old set to a new one, the sounds are so different. But how about trying two new sets?
