    It is an AL, but it's luthite unless they got a bit stamp happy at the factory?

    Back for sale after timewaster messed me about - reason for return, i didn't mention the 3/1000th of an inch off the frets when levelled and crowned - a newbie that didnt know why fret jobs are done - was worried why it was done on a new guitar - so i explain why and luthier also offered to talk to him- kinda like taking a car back to the showroom as you'd included top spec instead of factory spec - anyways you people on here will appreciate a lovely neck finish - i think he just didnt know what he wants - good luck getting a cheaper bass with lovely fret ends - ah well we live and learn. For sale lovely birch green Fender player 2 i bought early this year and have recently been using this or P bass to see what fits what i'm doing and the P bass has won - for that middy growl. Have bought a Squire CV Jag as back up - so now this faces being an occasional bass and it's a great player, so should be someones to use. Made in Mexico these are now really good little basses. Great QC Had luthier sort the frets, which he levelled , crowned (they were flat from factory!) and ran glue under each to make sure they pinged and bevelled off the slightly rough edges, basically your getting a Plex job but done by the hands of someone with 40 years experience. So now with the rolled edge finger board, satin finish, it is great to play. Dark rosewood board, with maple neck, the body colour looks even better IRL. Weighs about 8.5lb but balances great. So lightweight and versatile. Strung with new Ernie Ball Super Slinky 40-100 - very nice action. Very useable pickups. Comfortable bridge for palm muting. Priced to sell - collect from Clitheroe or meet up or can post to UK in box for £20 - if i post there's no returns - it's a lovely bass and sure you'll be happy unless you're not all there like last buyer

    @tauzero is pretty much spot on for the ones I've done.

    No time wasted, eh?

    They'd glue back together pretty easily. They'd at least be able to tell you whether it's likely to work. I'd rather spend £50 on someone with some expertise than two weeks in my back garden and end up with a lung disease and RSI.
  11. Marvin started following My New Year Challenge - What 5 String Bass, Harley Benton or Squier?
  12. Marvin
    I have my eye on the Squier, as a 5 string would be useful in my band. I've not really played a 5 string however, my local music shop has a Squier in stock. The only 5 string I've had a quick play of was an Ibanez SR305. I found the 16.5mm string spacing too narrow. I'm not sure but I think the Squier is 19mm spacing?

    Must be time for this again.

    True. I added similar bearings to my "Status", and the feel and accuracy became a lot better.

    Sub and compressor off for me. The drive is very good at adding some hair to your bass sound.
  17. Lozz196
    On the RM I leave compressor and sub off, drive on about a quarter to just blur the edges on the sound, on the ABM I used to have drive about halfway. Wasn’t so much for noticeable drive but for the added thickness and harmonics.

    @neepheid is yours not a Curbow AL which is Ash bodied rather than Luthite?

    I’d look to spend a bit more on a sire v7/5 the string spacing makes a bass work for you or not IME

    Mrs Zero and I ran one while the normal host was on holiday, so I have a bit of experience. People need to sign in when they get there. Some open mics have pre-booking, others are first come first served. The host does the first slot. At one that I'm house bassist for, which is pre-book, the host encourages collaborations so I have a vague idea of who might want my services and sometimes even find out what songs they'll be doing before the night (sometimes I find out shortly before going on stage, sometimes I find out when they start). Have an adequate supply of mics, mic stands, and guitar leads. If there's going to be a drumkit there, make sure there's also a drummer who can set it up there during setup time. Have a couple of music stands too. If there's a Facebook page for the event, take some photos and stick them up after the event, maybe do a little acknowledgement of who was there - for example, https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61578654727858 and https://www.facebook.com/groups/976913649517143 My personal opinion about running order: after a few times, you'll spot who arrives, plays, and then f*cks off without staying to watch anyone else. Put them on late. Generally rotate order for the regulars so none of them get permanently stuck with early or graveyard slots and put irregulars into the better but not prime slots.

    Do you have any interestingones to share? My first Hohner bass had a fairly ordinary tort scratchplate nearly 40 years ago. My brother now has it... this is the same scratchplate!

    The drive is good, but the compressor and sub are not to my taste.
  31. danbanbass
    I refer to it as a light relic but I sent Luca photo examples of the relicing I was after. You can go from none to as much as you want. I asked Luca if he had a really dark rosewood fingerboard he could use for the build.

    Not Lynx? With the great smell of unwashed teenager.
  35. Grooverjr
    That could be an option. It would look great in an off white. All the dings are surface chips of the finish so they could be filled in easily enough in prep. But I will likely come up against the same issue with finding someone who can do a decent job.
