    That's ... quite odd. I suppose you'd have no problems with damping the unplayed set of strings, at least.

    I don't usually like reliced basses, but that's quite something.

    Is this "normal" 42mm-ish P-bass width at the nut? I think I may have a cunning plan

    [quote name='oldslapper' timestamp='1500490658' post='3338250'] Thanks! �� have you still got the Aria fretless? Playing Unlined fretless is actually very instinctive, much easier than people often think.....why not give it a try? �� [/quote] I have; it's a keeper, though it doesn't get played much - good to take on holiday though I've still got the Cimar P as well, though it's wearing a Collins J neck nowadays. Sadly, my lack of confidence is not for lack of trying :/

    That looks very nice, and John's a nice guy I've bought from twice already Sadly, I don't need it and I've no confidence in my ability to play unlined FL nowadays. Good luck with it!

    Gone... anyone here get it?

    I have successfully drilled [u]very small[/u] holes around the offending screw, removed it, drilled out the hole and dowelled it. Once. I wouldn't recommend it without a column drill. And lots of care and patience.

    There are a couple of things I really value on there, which are not available anywhere else AFAIK. Is there any way of downloading them, legally?

    Too many strings for me, but that's quite spectacular.

    Thanks, but not my thing. GLWYS

    Fretted or fretless? Not sure, from the pics. Thanks.

    Please edit the thread title to put SOLD in it, so that the mods can lock it. Saves people clicking on it when it's already gone. (To edit the thread title: Edit your original first post of the thread, and click the 'Use Full Editor' button.) Ta

    How much for the fly on its own?

    Nice. I've never been a fan of sunburst, but this sort of tobaccoburst is very nice.

    [quote name='MDWagstaff' timestamp='1499543497' post='3332135'] Wish I had a spare £1k... Where is it based? [/quote] Near Bristol. Pinball's a nice guy and knows his onions - buy with confidence

    Pretty

    Anyone tried it? (Obviously it only works if your bass is piezo-only...) If so, what did it sound like, how long did the strings last, and where did you get them? (This sort of thing is what happens when I can't buy any more basses. Bah, humbug.)

    [quote name='el borracho' timestamp='1498852579' post='3327619'] I've done a Stingray one with a hand jigsaw, hand drill, files and sandpaper - none of this modern electric stuff! Took ages but was quite satisfying - until I rushed the screw holes and drilled 3 of them in the wrong place - they still don't have screws in but nobody has ever noticed [/quote] You could saw the heads off some screws and glue them in place

    [quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1498808818' post='3327127'] Yes, carefully, but by just using a wood block with sandpaper held at an angle. Really close up you can see that it is nowhere near as perfect as a machine produced edge, but its pretty good, and good enough for me. No-one would ever tell the difference from a yard away. [/quote] Having seen (and bought) the results, I can vouch for this.
