Beautiful Mazeti Fretless for sale - WITHDRAWN!

Need shot to fund my bass lust -
WITHDRAWN [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]Looking to sell my lovely Mazeti active fretless to fund the purchase of another instrument. I bought this about a year ago and have used it both live and in the studio. It behaved perfectly. Had it set up by a luthier (repair God) when I bought it, fitted a bone nut to replace the crap plastic one and played it. The bass is in superb condition despite being used live. Fitted with a set of Picato Custom flats, the bass sounds and plays very well. Based in Lanarkshire. Happy to travel (within reason). Would consider a trade but would need to be up the way (I can part with cash for the right instrument).[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=Helvetica, Arial,]You can see and hear it in action here: [[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju5tCaFZ0Pc[/media][/font][/color]

[size=4]I found a post on another bass forum where a guy reckons he is using [color=#141414][font=verdana, geneva, lucida,]Innovation Rockabilly nylon core strings on a Stagg EDB. All seems reasonably sensible to me.[/font][/color][/size]

Ahhh....that just answered my next question re magnetic pickups. Thanks. It [iezo bridge pickup in the Stagg. I assume that should be OK?

Thanks Tom, yeh....practice, practice, practice. Strength has become a bit better and I do find it a bit easier but the strings really bother me. I must admit to being a little reluctant to spend the best part of £200 on a set of strings for a £300 instrument though. All that said, the strings may make a huge difference and be worth the spend. Hmm, food for thought.

No bowing at all. Thanks.

OK Dudes, I added a fairly useful Stagg 3/4 to my wee collection of basses as an interesting add on for recording and a little live work however, I am not really that fond of the string tension and find it tiresome to play over long periods. So, I thought perhaps (after taking a little advice) it might be an idea to change the strings for something with a little less tension. I was advised by a pro player to look t the Thomastik Spirocore low tension set but my wallet ran away and hid when I found a set on Amazon. Whilst I am not adverse to pay a few quid for a decent set of strings, my Aberdonian ancestry keeps pulling me back. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Oh and as an aside......if any of you use one of theses basses..... I am constantly tormented by the body side bar falling out. Anyone found a solution?

Brill thanks Lozz

How do you find the 15? I have a 4x10 and am sick of having a sore back but I like the 4ohm ness of it. I see the 15 is 8 Ohms..... bit concerned about having to buy two cabs to get the full 500w.
-
Handwired, that's good info thanks. As I spend a lot of time playing blues/jazz style of music, the old school really appeals however, the lack of bottom end may pose a bit of a problem. Perhaps a different bass and style of play may change that....I'll see soon enough. I was a bit concerned about the DI only having post and not pre. All that said, that's the engineer's problem, not mine :-P Cheers
-
Way too sensible advice! Maybe I just fancy an upgrade.... at £500 odd quid, it seems like reasonable option.

Hi all, OK...dilemma. I have a wee Ampeg B2re tranny head that, despite what you may think about them, has been fantastic. Great wee head, loud and, coupled with a 4 ohm 4x10, sounds great. However, I am going to try out a Markbass TTE 500 later this week. Does anyone have any experience of the TTE 500? Particularly if you have played with both, I'd really appreciate your findings/thoughts. Thanks in advance.
-
Yeh, the nut should be OK. It's Rotosound 40's I have on now, the B being a 125 so they should hopefully be OK at that.

Hubrad...this kind of thing? [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rotosound-RS885LD-TRU-BASS-STRINGS-5S-65-135-/280646603445?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item4157d752b5"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rotosound-RS885LD-TRU-BASS-STRINGS-5S-65-135-/280646603445?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item4157d752b5[/url] The heavier gauge......, a bit of tweaking at the bridge I presume, nowt much else to consider?

Now we are on the same page

Yeh, I would really like to try them for a while. I play mostly blues/jazz and would like an alternative to the lively sound from my fretted bass. I use an EUB with flats and love the sound, would be nice to capture some of that on my fretless. Thanks for the advice!
-
To be honest, it's more the sound than the feel (yes I know much of that is in my fingers) that and a concern about what the rounds will do to the fingerboard in time. I'm not that hard on strings but still a little worried about making a bit of a mess. Does any of that make sense?
-
Hey Bass Dudes!! Bought a fretless a few months back and replaced the pretty knackered strings with a set of roundwound Rotosounds (which I love on my fretted bass). However, can't say I am overly happy with the sound and feel of the rounds and really want to try a set of flats but don't want to waste £30 odd on a change that I don't like. So, any advice? I do like Rotosound strings and have see sets of 5's (yes it's a five stringer() on fleabay along with Elites, that I used to use reasonably happily in roundwounds. Thoughts? Thanks in advance!!

Gone?
