Thanks Chris. I know that black is not the most popular finish but this does look damn fine and the neck/fretboard is just lovely. The covers will be coming off though, love the look but as I mostly play with a pick, they need to go.

Have fun Shell We shall be playing it next weekend, along with Wizard.

I dont know what clearance is required on that bass, try a google search

5p coin for a saddle, well that's a first. so assuming your action and relief are correct, is everything good at the nut?

That's a bit sad really.

Good man, make sure to say hello.

[quote name='endorka' timestamp='1386907473' post='2306312'] As far as the creating of basslines goes, one of the best things you can do IMHO is become more aware of other instruments. Jennifer [/quote] Got to agree with this, simple, common sense advice that is often overlooked.

I had forgotten Stray, went to see them a fair few times.

Very nice. I am awaiting delivery of a 74 in the same colour combo, should be here tomorrow. Enjoy yours.

Welcome aboard, from another Herts Bass Chatter.

sounds like a promising project,............form an orderly queue bass chatters

Last time I encountered the same thing (if I have understood your description correctly), it was due to the pick up being too close to the E & A strings. Like booboo suggested, lowering it a little sorted the problem.

Thanks for posting, will check out some of their other covers.

Sometimes Rob, it is necessary, whilst turning the screw, to also give the saddle a gentle nudge in the direction you want it to travel.

A happy ending and a lovely looker.

I quite like it. Not sure those neck pocket dimensions would be right for the standard size necks.
