Knackered truss rod and fingerboard removal HELP PLEASE
Gizmo replied to police squad's topic in Bass Guitars
Wow that's not a fretboard that's a veneer ! Mad skill that you got that off in one piece! /bow Set temp Med/High to start will and up it to max if you need to, as you start to get heat into the wood/tools it will become easier/faster to move onto the next section. (also i never need to add any steam myself) -

Knackered truss rod and fingerboard removal HELP PLEASE
Andyjr1515 replied to police squad's topic in Bass Guitars
Probably a bit quicker - as you are moving it forward a few mm at a time, the wood ahead gets 'preheated' as the iron gets close - but yes, probably 30mins to 45mins -

RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE replied to Brian18242's topic in Bass Guitars
Schecter do have some great basses imho . It’s true about resale value though . Dont know why . Looking at that picture , I wouldn’t have recognised Rick Savage . Perm gone . Looks great though. -

I use a travel iron on hottest. Not sure what temperature that is compared with a standard iron but it feels pretty hot to me so probably a 'cotton' setting or similar -

Forgive the poor scaling of the shots - I've directly pasted some random JPGs This was the thin fretted fretboard of one of @Owen's basses back in 2024. See how close the bottoms of the fret slots are to the bottom of the fretboard...that's not a lot of wood! The problem was a totally seized - and fully adjusted - trussrod With due warnings to Owen that it might well snap, I got out my trusty travel iron and sat it on the heel end for around 10 minutes, testing every now and again with a Stanley Knife blade: Once the glue was soft, I progressively moved the iron forward, sliding a steel sheet I use for bending acoustic guitar sides into and along the softened glue. Any thin steel can be used, a decorator's platter, a thin scraper - main thing is to slide horizonally...NEVER lift!! And you DON'T RUSH, and inch it along a few mm at a time: And eventually, it's off...and still in one piece. That is one well k*******d trussrod! : -
GAS is a a terrible thing. So there I was all content after a really good year, then boom and 'must have ' bass punched a mighty hole in the budget. So, my two latest acquisitions need new homes. They are brand effectively and we all know the G & L story so this is it, want a new one?, you wont find any better. Check out my other listing for my SB-2 or take a look at this... NOW £450 Anywho. 3 TSB Jazz bass, the G & L version, spicier pickups than your average J type bass in this price range. Beautifully finished and in 10/10 condition. Vinyl wrapped plate easily removed . I have been after a nice example of this since seeing Ritchie Kotzens 'riot'. I finally pulled the trigger on this new one in the early summer and very pleased i am too or was until i fell for 'another' way more expensive J beast. As with the SB-2 i'd love to keep it but needs must. I love the bridges on these bad boys. Fully set up with fresh EB slinkies. Can ship at buyer expense, pickup from Rochester or exchange somewhere near to the M25.

He doesn't play bass on the albums so makes sense he'd also cheat with the vocals 😜

Ive had my eye on a Schecter hellraiser, but bit too much at moment specially for a brand with low resale value. -

I purchased this new in October last year. I bought it on impulse when I bought the TMB30 (may as well get "hanged for a sheep as a lamb"). The spec is listed below. The two controls are both stacked, volume and balance and bass and treble boost and cut. It has a great range of tones. I’ve never gigged it and it’s never left my music room. It is in mint condition. It weighs 8.9lb. I’m selling it as part of my wind down. The price includes UK delivery. Neck & Fretboard Neck Type: TMB4 Neck Joint: Bolt-on Neck Material: Roasted Maple Neck Finish: Gloss Polyurethane Neck Thickness (1st fret, mm): 21.5 Neck Thickness (12th fret, mm): 24.5 Scale (mm): 864 Nut Width (mm): 41 End Width (mm): 62 Number of Fret: 20 Fretboard: Bound Rosewood Fretboard Radius (mm): 240 Fret Type: Medium Inlay: Acrylic block Hardware & Electronics Body Top Material (For Solid): Tamo Ash Body Material (For Solid): Poplar Body Finish: Gloss Polyurethane Total Length (mm): 1130 Body Thickness (mm): 40 Body Length (mm): 483 Body Width (mm): 355 Bridge: B10 Active or Passive: Active Nut: Plastic Machine Head: Ibanez machine heads Hardware Color: Chrome Neck Pickup: Dynamix P Bridge Pickup: Dynamix J EQ (Active): Ibanez Custom Electronics 2-band EQ Controls, Pickup Selector: 1 Volume, 1 Balancer, Bass, Treble String Gauges (from top to bottom): .045/.065/.085/.105
