    Boys boys..... all fair comments! The PRS fretless (which incedently I had seen already.... ) is a Bass 4 not an EBIV which is my toy of preferance.... so thats not on my agenda you cheeky boy.... ! As for having 1st dibs for after I've owned it, pimped it and played it a bit.... I may hold you to that, altough we'll have to see how I get on with fretless to assess its longevity...... (unless of course you know of an EBiV fretless up for grabs...?) besides I'm not as bad some (on here) for chopping and changing...... am I ?

    bump..... Just because I saw another BCer managed to get rid of some old jap bits, and these would be of use to someone I'm sure....

    [quote name='Annoying Twit' post='330248' date='Nov 16 2008, 07:53 PM']F. me. A Shuker for a price I could justify spending on a bass. Not that I'm buying now, but my eyebrows did raise when I saw the price.[/quote] Bog orf, I got 1st dibs..... I'm hoping its what I'm after..... Just waiting on a reply......

    Whilst I wouldnt compete with Jon's Matsumoko approach, I do have a good friend whois just starting out with a Laser engraver and he is currently 'on the case' with my PRS trcs...... Watch this space.... Peg holes, I have done both ways, opening out and sleeving down.... Its a right royal PItA to do, but worth it ..... Are you deifinatley sure there is no way you can get pegs the correct size?

You know you said that early Schecters are a surreal facsimilie of any other American copy bass that was losely based on Leo Fenders original concept......." Treat your assesment of it no different than any other 20yr old and go for it......! We want pics.....

    I have a friend in Zadar, and spent some time there last year...... There are some very pretty ladies in the capital..... I was walking around with my tongue hanging out.....

    + the one for 7 string..... If you've not been to thh gallery before you may get overloaded with basslicious loveliness.... Thats really good advice not to be too blinkered, you may find another that ticks all your boxes but wasnt what you went there to find..... Enjoy....

    Rumbler... Welcome.... I love Zagreb..... Actually Croatia as a whole is pretty cool too! Do you enjoy it there?

    Early Schecters will be US made and with jaw dropping QC and attention to detail, they are excellent VFM. If its helps, Mark Knopfler was so underwhelmed by the Fender Strat's build quality he had Schecter make him Strat copies.... I like 'em....

    Whilst I am an advocate of the H1, I also agree its a bit dear new..... especially from a ma and pa type shop (read non discounted price)... HOWEVER... 2nd hand they are superb value and thats FWIW my recommendation would be....

    [quote name='bassjamm' post='328714' date='Nov 13 2008, 10:27 PM']I'm considering having this fretted so if you feel that's wrong then please send me a pm offering me something to stop me [/quote] I have, but putting your fingers in your ears and going la la la isnt helping my GAS..... Emphatically NO dont get it fretted, but then its your bass so if it'll mean you keep it and use it, and being fretless is the only reason you want to let it go then you have answered your own queery? Surely?
  17. The Burpster
    Bugger me that was a bargin......!

    [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='327260' date='Nov 12 2008, 07:34 AM']Sorry to hear such a story gsm.. That's a fine collection by the way!! If you do decide to sell them seperately for any reason, then I'd be interested to know more about the short-scale Aria.. Otherwise, best of luck with your sale and more importantly, your health![/quote] What Nik said, and I'd be interested in the De Armond.....

    You can but you'll just move the problem up a fret..... Ideally you need to level all the frets, and re profile them. It aint rocket science but you do kinda need to know what you're doing. If you're up to it then get Dan Erlewines book and make sure you know exactly what your doing then preferably try your skills& tools out on an old junker neck first.... I can help but only from a distance.....
  24. The Burpster
    Again I guess I'm too far off but I have a Behringer you are welcome to try and destroy.....

    Not an awesome piece of kit but at least very credible, and ticks your boxes..... [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_rockbass_streamer_std_5_fl_rd.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/warwick_rockbass_...std_5_fl_rd.htm[/url]
