    Nothing like calling a spade a spade...

    I've been wondering about putting strings on a rake for a while...

    Here, "unknown" means "sidled away before the blame could be allocated".

    It's the price that gets me. A mutilated bass with pretty much everything anyone might consider to be "original" removed, and they want five grand for it?!
  5. alyctes
    IIRC it's not possible to edit the original price setting - a software issue.

    Nnnniiiice!

    I have a defretted one. My favourite 4-string. (Well, reboarded actually. By someone in Brighton, when philw owned it.)

    I guess a clip-on tuner on the headstock would have some effect. Might depend on exactly where it was clipped on, as well.
  9. alyctes
    I'm going to try holding the tip of the headstock against the drummer.

    My experience was that getting the fretless let me (made me!) become better with fretless. I don't think it would have happened otherwise.

    Gone for £425.

    Cashflow prevents...

    Intonating?

    All the Foundations I've seen have two soapbars rather than p/j, aren't neck-through, and have less expensively-carved headstock.

    Mm. That hadn't occurred to me. I'd have to get it removed.
  16. alyctes
    Damn. That's really tempting. And I haven't played a fretted bass for literally months, not even to practice.

    I had a bitsa which looked an awful lot like that. Paid £80 for it. Surprisingly aggressive-sounding pickup.
  18. alyctes
    That counts as chambered, I reckon...

    Ibanez Mikro for me. Compact, well made, plays well. Fits in a guitar gigbag. Excellent backup bass when she outgrows it.
  20. alyctes
    Damaged, I suspect. Probably plays nicely enough.

    I have a Grind four-string. It's the fretted four I like most, I think.

    About this: Many "stick" EUBs come with side-frames of one sort or another, intended to space the instrument off the player's body. It ought to be possible to make a plug-in side-frame which hooked into the player's belt?

    I explained to one of them once that they weren't trails, that was the exhaust of the Foo Fighter shadowing the airliner. He went quite quiet and didn't say much about it. I don't know why, he wouldn't tell me.

    That's called "geology", IMO. (You don't believe Iceland is real, do you? At least we can see the moon!)
  25. alyctes
    I did try it. At the time I couldn't get my head round it, partly because I couldn't get it to sound good on either bass.
