    Shame, you ought to try to keep it if you can. I have one of these - almost identical to yours and its great if you need to fill in on guitar for anything - gives you the Gibson sound and feel at a budget price. Who needs all that gold and maple anyway !! Have a bump whatever........

    [quote name='lukeward2004' post='40778' date='Aug 3 2007, 09:25 AM']THanks for the advice guys - I have made some slight adjustments to the truss rod last night, loosened it off by about a half turn, left it to settle overnight and gave it a little go this morning and it is just right - loving it![/quote] Luke have you checked out www.garywillis.com. Theres a whole section on set up from the man himself. Sounds like you have it right now. Unlike the Beedster I prefer not to mess with it too much, and usually check it and adjust about every 6 months (covers changes of temperature between summer and winter) and always on a string change even if I dont change the gauge. Interestingly I have found that my fretless (Sandberg) is more sensitive to neck relief than my fretted basses (Fender J and Warwick Corvette $$). I guess you need the strings to rattle a bit which is what gives you the characteristic fretless buzz, but not so much the sound is choked off and the difference between one and the other is quite small. I'm pleased you like the GWB35, I couldnt really get along with the one I tried in the Gallery. I also prefer the natural finish. As you may know, I'm gassing for a GWB1005, but what a price. I mailed Willis about this and got a very nice reply, basically he says the 1005 is handmade and they have no plans to introduce a Far Eastern replica, the 35 is the closest you can get on a budget to the one that the man himself plays. I'll post Willis' reply when I get home - I cant get at the private mail from work. Cheers, John

    [quote name='velvetkevorkian' post='24759' date='Jun 29 2007, 10:46 AM']Once you go three fingered you'll never go back. Well, I won't anyway. Two just seems so inefficient.[/quote] Recommend Progressive Bassics by Gary Willis, he shows how to work the three finger technique complete with string muting.......

    [quote name='GBH' post='24096' date='Jun 27 2007, 06:34 PM']Hi guys,I'm in witham in essex, no lacquer cracks,one small ding on the back on the lower edge,Geoff.[/quote] Geoff, Interested, but the wife will divorce me if I bring another guitar into the house. Would you consider a p-ex/trade for my Warwick Streamer Standard 4 string, currently listed at £275 in the for sale section. I also have a Shure Wireless set up for sale at £65 which would obviously be cash your way.

    [quote name='wildman' post='23741' date='Jun 26 2007, 08:57 PM']Bought this off a bassworlder about a year ago and I gigged it once but with a change of band and venues played, I dont use it much any more. Handles the low B on my 5 string really well. £65 UK posted, or collect from Worcester Park, Surrey and save yourself a fiver. [/quote] No interest at all. Price too high ?? Reasonable offers considered.
