Never buy new batteries for your active bass, borrow the new ones in your guitarist's distortion pedal.

I like the process a lot, but, because there's always a but, I find that CNC machined instruments tend to always have sharp angles and designs too. They still do a lot of things by hand at Lignum (literarily firewood in Latin, no kidding, but has become wood by extension) which is very good as only a human brain can correct these perfection, yes perfection, issues. That said, @BassNugget the pickups on this very fretless bass are the Fishman Fluence. 😉 https://www.fishman.com/portfolio/fluence-bass-soapbar/

Vanderkley is better. 😉

Feargal Sharkey and, cough, cough, Alfred Hitchcock !

Indeed. Charles de Gaulle was more on the machine gun side. 😉

Not too far right, I hope...

Phil Lynott. 😊 And Dave Brock, Jamie Cullum, Marcel Dadi, Dimebag Darrell, Fred Durst, Isaac Hayes, John Hiatt, Ralf Hütter, Robert Plant, @Dad3353, ... Without forgetting Emily Brontë and H.P. Lovecraft, who were not musicians, just in case... 😉

Excellent stuff. Their album is also worth mentioning. Thanks @owen

Just read the whole article and now I can't wait to see that new vision of the end of an era that didn't happen the way it's always been told...

Five on the right hand, like everybody ?

It depends. How many do you have ?

Is it a Nash the Slash looking at the sun tribute top ?

More than 10 ?

@Stub Mandrel Wow, a rare all original vintage white Deathburger ! And one finger picking, ... just like me. 😎

I brought it new... So you brought it because you bought it or ... what the kneck !

Are you reading my mind ? 🤣 Wait a bit and that ad will be online... It's a promise I made. 😎

A sharp break angle will solve the fretless issue.

Yes, flat sitar like saddles. Longer than yours for sure, but I experimented with short saddles and it was working very well too.

Beware with this kind of "flat" saddles as you may end up with a (very interesting) fretless sound à la Dominique Di Piazza. Like this :

Just comes back from the luthier... Thanks, but who is that butcher calling himself a luthier ?

Very neat work !

The extraordinary : All (or fully) original, except... (often a list longer than what the item countains).

Wrap (one layer) some very fine grit sandpaper paper around each different string and use it as a perfect file. Go slowly. It's a very old trick used by so many players.

Because it's as good if not better than an OC-2 and is cheaper with better tracking. Check this :
