Can anyone recommend a luthier to de-fret a Zon bass ?

I played the Pink puffin or purple parrot or some such place in Camden a few years ago, pretty nice venue, and I'm pretty sure that wasn't pay to play.

It maybe makes more sense to befriend bands in London that play similar music to you, and support them. Maybe return the hospitality. You could also find which venues don't charge for you to play by doing this. A lot of bands from my uni play at the Good ship in Kilburn, I don't know if they charge you to entertain their audience, but it'd be worth finding out.

My main function band does everything from disco, funk, pop and soul 'loud guitar' gigs to acoustic gigs with acoustic guitar, upright bass, percussion doing jazz and latin tunes, including some regular 'pop' songs that we've latinised "). I think having versatility just adds to your chances of a regular workload.

[quote name='M@23' timestamp='1408636138' post='2532091'] Which Fenders? [/quote] Both the USA Fender 5's I had, a Marcus Miller Jazz and a standard Jazz, had through body stringing, the little metal cup things that fitted in the rear of the body used to fall out, the holes they fitted in were too big. The standard Jazz had a very badly cut neck pocket, 2 or 3 mm gap between the body and the neck, tapering to nothing. -

Remember that a 5 string bass, isn't just the extra notes. It means you can play the low E, F, F#, G and G# in the centre of the bass, making this great for avoiding stretching down to the first frets. Aklo means you don't have to move about so much around the neck.

I have two 5 string sets of Stainless steel Super bright strings for sale. Great strings, just not for me, I prefer the darker sound of nickel. One set is 125-45 and is totally brand new and unopened. One set is 130-45 and has been opened, only for me to remove the high C string. It was originally a 6 string set that I ordered from the USA. The UK distributor for these fine strings hasn't yet caught onto the idea that people play 6 string basses these days ! Apart from that though, the strings are unused, and haven't been removed from their packaging. I'd like [s]£20[/s] [size=5][b]£15[/b][/size] per set please, which includes UK postage. I'm willing to do a deal for both sets. -

D'Addario half-rounds are great, probably my favourite sounding strings, especially on my Modulus. [url="http://www.daddario.com/DADProductDetail.Page?ActiveID=3769&productid=191&productname=ENR71_6_Half_Rounds_Bass__Regular_Light__30_130__Long_Scale"]http://www.daddario.com/DADProductDetail.Page?ActiveID=3769&productid=191&productname=ENR71_6_Half_Rounds_Bass__Regular_Light__30_130__Long_Scale[/url] They're not really very versatile though, but I personally love their sound.

They are extremely well built basses (better than a lot of Fenders), they do feel somewhat 'clunky' to me though, I have to admit. In the right hands, for the right music they're pretty much fantastic. Though they never seem to work for me. -

Trade for double basses, fretless/fretted 6 string basses, Zon or Modulus preferred.

I think Stanley Clarke's Alembic is a short scale bass, he's about 8ft tall, so I don't think size matters too much .
