I believe he means how have you intonated it at the bridge dad. On a fretless bass you'd still set the intonation by the 12th harmonic and the note directly underneath. If the intonation of the whole bass is out then the side marker dots will be off. Real pain if the strings are off with each other too!

Superman - Black Lace

Bloody lovely 😍

Tippa My Tongue - RHCP

Where Is My Mind? - PIXIES

I hear you but a stripped body isn't a big deal. The original bass is still there and if you felt the need, you could have a sweet sunburst refin vintage beauty. Adding something new to a bass (what you're contemplating here, extra pickups, pre amps etc...) can't be undone easily without leaving nasty scars. Devaluing scars they would be to if you're bothered about such things.

Elvis F***ing Christ! - The Cramps

I'm of the opinion that a man's wood is to do with as he pleases (fnarr!) However, there are countless great P basses out there but, to a far lesser extent, there's a finite number of genuine 70s fretless Precisions left in one piece. To me it's a true vintage (and rarer) instrument so with this in mind I feel that with such basses, ownership also comes with 'custodian' responsibilities. To play it, love it and keep it safe until it eventually goes on to it's next adventure. Just my feelings, not saying I'm right because I know I can be a dreamy sentimental old git! 😄

I'm not a J guy anymore but if that lived at my house I wouldn't be able to walk past it without picking it up! Bloody lurvely!

Bizarre Bazaar - Ozrics

Star Spangles Banner - Jimi

Rotten in Denmark - Dan Smolla

Brian Ritchie of Violent Femmes does a nice little bottle neck solo during the song Faith (ffw to 18.50) here on this live vid. Always meant to give it a go. Thanks for reminding me!

William, It Was Really Nothing - Smiths

No, I wouldn't do that.

Ibanez Micro Moke

Dickie Davies Eyes

Aww c'mon...play nice kids 🙏

Puttin' on the Rizla - Fred Astaire

Barbarism Begins At Home - The Smiths. Tuned up to F#, it's a blooming stamina builder for sure! Haven't got it clean up to full speed yet but getting closer. My first serious go with using a pick properly too!

Homegrown - Neil Young

This Snail Is Fast! - Coded Channel

I love the guy! He does have quite a body of work up his quiet sleeves though... 6 released albums with The Smiths, loads of singles and a couple of albums with Morrissey, he's recorded an album each with The Pretenders, Sinead O'connor, D.A.R.K., Freebass and Ian Brown. He's also still active with his latest project Blitz Vega. Good lad! 👍

Wise words Dad. My ears also ring but thankfully I can live with it, although it would become too much if it worsened even a bit more. Earplugs every time now! One slight positive is that my ears ring at a constant concert F# so I can always tune my bass from that! (Looks at glass...it remains half full 🧐)
