Touch anything metal on the bass and it goes away. Turn the vol up and it goes away. What am i missing?

DR Handmade Lo-Rider - Nickel, always feel more punchy to me, they have a higher tension.

++ KiOgon, pleasure to deal with. Just send him a pm.

Great, I thought that might be the case, but needed some advice from someone with more experience. I guess I was being impatient. Cheers

Doing a reapire on a MIM P bass neck, i bought a can of the above, took my time and sprayed the neck with a satin spray. left the neck for a few hours, cut it back with 1500 grit paper, and resprayed. did this a few times. Neck looks great Except - a few days now and somehow the neck still feels sticky, its dry but seems to cause friction with skin. Have i done anything wrong? Do i just need to wait longer before assessing if its a sucess?

I've bought a 5 string fretless, arrived today. 2 small bashes on the back, that's it. Everything else is fine. Neck looked really dry so I'm putting Lemmon oil on it. Well worth the money.

if you press the strings down at the highest frett, then the pickup should be 2mm below the strings. Couple of thoughts; Have you tried a new set of strings. Is there still the same issue in passive mode

Only recently moved away from Warwick’s as my main bass, but here is my 2p worth.[list=1] [*]Streamer Stage II - fantastic bass, I couldn’t part with it, loads of mid growl. Crisp, articulate. Best way I can describe it is, Precise. [*]Thumb 03 5NT - Quintessential Warwick sound, with a set of Dr low riders on, fantastic punch and power, the sustain was really impressive. I found the neck a little too thick, which is why we parted company. If i had the money i would buy a new one with the thinner neck. [*]Corvette 2010 LTD NT - Beautiful bass, unbelievable clarity and top end, I just spent most of my time trying to make it sound like the Streamer, and getting lost in the variations in tone. [/list] I agree that the growl is more RnB Funk rather than metal. Analogue v digital may be a way to describe it? Warwick necks from 01-09 have a thicker neck profile, the 3d bridge also allows for adjusting the string spacing.

Which is the first bass you think of when you look back at all the basses you’ve owned?

Surley the next question is: "How many basses have you owned" Those stats would be really interesting. Maybe the single owners change more often.
