Start covering it in stickers

I think as soon as you go to a 5er you need to get out of the idea of wrapping your thumb around the neck like you can on a Jazz bass, it isnt a good technique but it is possible with 4 string basses, a 5 er soon starts to make that technique more difficult.

How straight is this neck, either the neck is set too deep into the pocket or it needs either the tilt or probably better as suggested a shim towards the bridge end of the pocket, bit of cereal packet should do the trick.

Recorded my gedo for the first time yesterday, j tone and plat pro set to the recommended arco/pizz settings as I only got the plat pro the day before and haven't played with it yet, sounded ok through the studio headphones but then when we played it back through the monitors, WOW! Total fluke to get that sound, just a shame my playing doesn't live up to the same standard

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1370106625' post='2096549'] Yes, the micro tilt should now do what you want, but to be honest a 3mm action would be classed as low by the majority of players. [/quote] Seriously, you do know it's not a double bass?

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1370106434' post='2096545'] Do you mean the bass has a microtilt neck? ... and it's a 1992? [/quote] I thought that but not enough of a fender expert to comment earlier

In that case maybe a yammy or ibby?

This brings up the thin versus narrow thread again, thin for me relates to front to back thickness rather than narrow nut.

I can't think of any bridge that has slots filed for the radius rather than for the string to run correctly?

Bought a fishman platinum pro off timo , arrived really quick and as described, top fella

Well its a near as I will ever get

Double basses look cooler than all guitars and the chicks love it, "my that's a big one!" At my first gig just with the Stagg, the proper Gedo 3/4 should make for a guaranteed encounter with a hot curvy burlesque girl

Must be a jazz cat?.......

Haha the Gedo basschat club has another member, I can feel it!

Im not sure about it, what about stand mounting points too? I have owned various sports cars (MX-5 and MGB GT) the genz 1x12 with a shuttle 6 or 6.2 head would fit in the car and cover most gigs that your current Carlsbro pa is dealing with?

Thats £1600 worth of cabs to end up playing through a little combo for your own sound! A good pair of powered 15 PA cabs would cost a lot less then sell your 2x12 and buy the Genz 1x12t instead

All in about £935 with the exchange rate including £75 of that for shipping, its lovely I bet the full ply one for £200 or so less is just as good too I just fancied the solid top. I see what you mean about the other post now, its on the bass side rather than under/near the treble side.

£500 should get a tasty head, I picked up an as new Genz ShuttleMax 9.2 head with carry case and multi foot switch for £530 on ebay!

Dougie is a EBMM user so he is alright with me His girly hands have seen him go from a Ray to a Sterling but thats OK.

It would look good on display somewhere, that salvage hunter bloke on tv would pay about £25 for it and sell it to some posh toss pot to put in their cafe for about £2500!

Could the second sound post be related to the bridge being 2 inches forward of the F hole notches, should the bridge and probably tail piece all be further down the body?

I have seen a thread maybe on another forum about it, I think the idea was to wear it like a regular bass!

Just watched too, got 13 of them and pleased to say the one I did not know was the guy from Coldplay The thing I always love on that show is the person that goes last always says they only knew the 3 answers the other players knew! So she knew Gene Simmons was/is in Kiss but none of the others? yeah right

Maybe that's why mine makes a terrible noise but I fear it might be a different factor, human error!
