Not a fan of bursts of any colour. Having said which, I had a nice cheap tobaccoburst J-alike which I'd have kept if I could abide the neck (weird almost triangular cross-section), and I have a matched pair of fretted and fretless Peavey Foundations in TSB, and I will buy an Ibanez SRF705 some day... And I rather like reverse bursts, preferably grey-white. So, I conclude I am probably not even playing the right instrument. :wanders off looking for Bassoonchat:

I have a Hohner B Bass B, which appears to be the J-J equivalent of this. I've been meaning to sell it, I'll get some pics up.

Thanks gents. It's fretless, so I'm reasonably confident in ruling out fret rattle I'll have a tweak of the TR and a careful listen to the tuners.

I have a Yamaha BB400F which has a rattle when played unamplified. I believe (from the sound and feel) this is probably the truss rod. How worried should I be, and is it fixable? Thanks

The list has been stable for a while; 7-8 items including a single bass (5-string fretless). Yesterday there were 26 up, for about 5 minutes..

If you're using a webbing strap, run a couple of stitches through it where it doubles. That stops it changing length unexpectedly.

New decos up now And gone! Blimey that was quick!

I like that as well. I think it's that can-opener shape, somehow. Just as well it's got too many strings for me!

This, exactly.

Yes please.

All gone sort of blurry, perhaps?

Some of them might not work? I've heard varying reports; some are near perfect, others not so much.

Same punter has a lefty HB J up; you can see the 'D' on it. So far he's failed to sell it once (that I know of).

I'm not quite clear what this "cool guitar" thing is?

Okay, I retract my previous post, at least in this specific case. It's still a good idea though.

It's a shame eBay doesn't offer a "never show me another item from this seller" option, really.

The guy who taught me had one (tuned E-C); he used it a lot. I played it a few times, but I was too inexperienced to really appreciate it. It was nice though

Those are uglier than Fenders. Which is not something I say very often.

This looks as if it might be decent. Does anyone know? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Basse-Sukop-5-cordes/112853900874?hash=item1a469dde4a:g:eY0AAOSwfpBabivt
