  1. defniitely so i bought a fretless vmJ on here - the neck was fairly marked from roundwounds so i rubbed it down to remove the marks and changed it from a high gloss ebonol finish to a nice semi-matt which has more of the lustre of a piece of wood and looks more natural imho see earlier threads [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/215668-ebonol-neck-cleaning-marks-off/page__p__2190999__hl__ebonol__fromsearch__1#entry2190999"]here[/url] and [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/203305-roundwound-scratches-on-fretless-ebonol"]here[/url] the ebonol will mark with roundwounds but then so will rosewood - i think with the ebonol also it is down very much to your playing style - if you play fairly heavy with a pick then it will probably end up marking noticeably - if you play with fingers possibly less so - ive restrung mine with roundwound swingbass and no problems at all, some minor cosmetic marks on the neck but no deep gouges from the strings but then i am not a 'heavy' player and have a rather minimal/economical style so pressure is less of an issue - one thing that is a big no no with the ebonol is never bend the string as you would on a fretted bass or guitar, that will make a significant mark in the neck also with the vmJ, i did try it with some black nylon flats to see how it would sound, the result was hardly any output! was very weak. as soon as i put some roundwounds on it began to sing beautifully, the seymour designed pups are quite big and have a failry meaty output for passive and respond very well to roundwounds and it produces this sort of tone quite nicely ...

  10. the legal owner (the person from whom it was stolen) is still the legal owner regardless of ANY circumstances inbetween - ignorance or lack of knowledge of the property's origins is not an exemption in law to allow some unwitting third party to become the new legal owner you are still the legal owner and the thief is still the thief - anybody else who has unfortunately also been caught up in the chain of events is also a victim of deception/fraud by the original thief

  21. [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1391939047' post='2362718'] Yep happened to me. Deeply regret doing it to an otherwise fine jap p copy in the early 90s. If I could turn back time Get a cheapie fretless and use that - vintage, squier vmj or some such [/quote] yup seriously recommend picking up a second hand one of these for 200 notes or less - there's usually one in the sale forums somewhere
