    Ahh! I've had this problem before. I thought I'd sorted it sorry. I'll contact a mod to tell me the obvious that I'm clearly missing! The dots on the side are exactly where the notes are, as in you finger at the dot unlike a defretted bass. Makes life easier for sure!

    Allparts Fretless P neck and Gotoh Res-o-lite GB640 tuners. Super straight and solid neck, plays fantastically at all points up and down the neck. Thick real ebony fingerboard. The Gotohs are incredibly lightweight and really help with balance. Super accurate tuning. They've been used on another bass so don't look as new as the neck which has had very little use. They work perfectly though. Great bit of kit! £150 posted. **SOLD ON EBAY** Thanks.

    Although I don't see eye to eye with his politics, I did warm to him a bit after seeing this:

    Hi there. Thanks for asking but I'm going to hold on for the sale as is for now. I'm not that bothered if I end up keeping it to be honest. If I find another way of funding the upright strings I need I'll withdraw it anyway. It's a lovely neck and with those tuners made my p bass weigh in at under 8lbs. If I do split them I'll probably keep the tuners and sell the neck.

    I realised recently that I had 2k worth of 0% interest credit available to me which swiftly began burning a hole in my imagination. A used custom shop Precision has quickly put out the fire with no casualties. Not a whiff of GAS remains.

    A new, unopened set of DR DDT-55 strings. Bought from Bass Direct a few months ago, now surplus to requirements. £22 posted.

    Allparts (licenced by Fender) unlined Fretless Precision neck with super lightweight premium quality Gotoh Res-o-lite GB640 tuners. Little use, this neck is rock-solid, straight and plays beautifully. There are some visible string marks from roundwounds but they don't affect the playability or tone at all. The thick ebony fingerboard is more than up to the job! The back of the maple neck is unblemished and feels amazing. Couple of marks at the end of the headstock but couldn't get them to show on a photo. Edit: £210 posted.

    The Spector is the "better" bass hands down. A Ric 4003s would be harder to walk past without picking up for a tinkle.

    Morrissey - Low in High School. It's one of the best he's ever made.

    Age doesn't matter, only personal health dictates this - use it or lose it. Make hay my friend..

    Thanks Blue I enjoyed that. The main thing I learnt from it was that I'm now glad I didn't make it. I really don't belong in that world. Massive props to those who dived in and managed to swim.

    After owning a couple of 5 strings I now only own a 4 string P, tuned B E A D. Now I use the whole fingerboard and find those five lower notes gained waaay more useful than the five highest notes lost.

    Had the same issue last rehearsal with a new combo. Solved it by switching the tweeter completely off.

    That sounds amazing Blue, well done you! Out of interest, what does your diet consist of? Whatever it is it seems to be working. I'll have some of what you're having!

    I'd work weddings every weekend if I could. Best money I've earnt as a musician and always a good laugh if you have the right bandmates.

    Nice one Blue I enjoyed that. Not seen that footage before. Talking about being there.. I wasn't, but in July 1962 when The Beatles played the Regent Dansette in Rhyl, North Wales, Pete Best was, shall we say, a bit out of order with an amorous advance on my mum as they were loading out after the show. My mum actually put her stiletto heel through his bass drum as she told him to .... Off! A couple of weeks later Ringo replaced Best. There are actually living witnesses to this story as I heard about it from one of my mum's friends first. Quite a legend my ma.
