    Setting up info. required for Fender Precision Fretless Bass. 3 questions: a) What is the string height from the fingerboard on the 12th fret? b) What is the height of the strings from the nut to the fingerboard? c) Would the same measurements apply to a fretted bass?

    The 'T' shaped body support that fits into the back of my Eminence EUB has suffered damage. Inside the body is a block of wood where the tapered 'stick' goes--the block has been dislodged and is rattling around inside the body--to big to get out through the hollow body 'f' holes--now no body support. Anybody any ideas regarding a new style body support?--on the upper bout.

    Hi Bloopdad1 Many thanks for taking the time to enplane 'blockless'. The neck is stable--no issues with playing. The bass plays very well all the way up the fingerboard.

    Bloopdad1---I did not know what blockless meant. So did a search and appears to be where the neck meets the shoulders. See pics below: Does this help?

    Sell or Exchange my German Double bass. Written valuation in 2006 approx. between £4500 and £5000. Good acoustic sound and set up. Plays very well. Last year the bass had a 'health check'--all OK. Strings are Thomastick Spirocore 4/4 light bought new last year and had little use. Quite a few marks on the body of the bass--has had splits in the past, repaired in the past before I bought the bass--non since owned by myself. Fitted with Armstrong pickup--excellent sound with amp. Bought from a classical player approx. 40 years ago. Quality bass tuners. Comes with Mooradian padded bag/case. Reason for sale?--my age. Now playing EUB. Would exchange for Top Quality Acoustic Archtop Guitar (L5 style) depending what you have. PM me.

    Have you Spirocore Stark E to sell? If so send me details: Price / condition / photo of windings. If possible would you measure the actual string length from the ball end to the bottom of the top winding? (String playing length). The reason is my bass has a 43" scale length and not sure if the bass is a 3/4 or 4/4 size. Price to negotiate. PM me.
