SICbass

Thanks ikay, that is very generous and super useful. I‘ve run band rehearsals where I needed to keep an eye on horn entries or “where‘s that double chorus again?“ and such like while “reading“ myself. A normal chart tends to demand too much of my attention and just wouldn‘t leave room for that extra info. I improvised something similar, but not nearly so clear and concise. Good on yah!

Angeldust guitars http://angeldust-guitars.com/about_me/ This is an interesting concept. As far as I can understand he works in cooperation with other dealers across Europe and beyond. Simplest would be if you were to read his “About me“ in this link. He has an extensive range of vintage and none vintage.

It‘s a struggle but I maple through.

When I spotted that this thread had re-appeared, it felt like Christmas had come early this year.

Frankly, I feel you‘re being much too kind.?

Brings regular solarium visits to mind.

9 years, my God you‘ve got some stamina!......oh, wait a minute...... oh, you mean..... ....coat.

Pictures ir it never happened! ?

Just accidentally bought a new bass... oh, don’t you just hate it when that happens.....

My point is, that the fact that they‘re a functioning/trading company (albeit with a minimally altered name) with great products and not a fading memory.

Genz Benz re-emerged last year as Genzler https://www.genzleramplification.com/category/17/Bass-Cabinets.html Same family and he was even willing to pick up some of the maintenance work that disappointed customers didn’t get when Fender folded Genz Benz.

Thanks for that. I‘ll keep an eye out then.

Does anyone know if these are halfway playable? Only I‘ve got a project coming up (no joke) that it‘d be ideal for.

80%

What, rancid?

Sexyyyyy!????? can I go and play now? ????

[/quote] That‘s very impressive on a fretless. Close to Jaco‘s and Pino‘s sounds in one instrument.

„But as SICbass says, it's a pretty straightforward job, if you can use a soldering iron....“ In the interests of fairness, it was nilebodgers said that, not me 😊. By the way, I‘m still fantasising about your cv precision which I see is back up on sale. If you were in Berlin like this pro-tone is I‘d have given in by now.

Thanks very much for the rapid response.

I‘ve got a fair offer to buy one of these. The tone pot looks like it may be damaged (it turns unendlessly). Anyone here know what spec the pot is and what it may cost to replace? To be more specific, it‘s a squier pro-tone V, p/j set up.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1509992174' post='3403108'] As amusing as that would be, the ensemble is mostly kids. And the show is in December. Ahem. [/quote] A festive tube-sock perhaps? ...coat.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1509842125' post='3402079'] ....the best bit is that both my kids play in that ensemble too. I have the chance to massively embarrass them... [/quote] So it looks like Christmas came early for YOU this year then, eh? 😘
