Hellzero

I've sent hundreds of basses all over the world with only 2 problems that were solved as I had an insurance. One is related here : The other was a theft by the delivery man himself, a very clever guy... Beware that the English post only covers music instruments up to £100 GBP... I'm using for a while EuroSender when I have something to ship within Europe (UK is in Europe, by the way ), because they are a logistic company that will offer you the lowest fare, will pick up your parcel wherever you want, can send up to 30 kilos within UK and up to 40 kilos to Europe or even more on a pallet and will offer you up to 2.000 Euros of insurance. The slight issue being the two days of latency for your parcel to be picked up because they make the whole logistic part. It's fast and efficient.

If you do this, then also release the truss rod tension and there will be no problem at all.

It's Hiromi. Look here, Hugues is selling one of the previous generation (normal size body thickness), the Presentation II is similar to the one of Auslander : Watch this if you want to see Anthony Jackson playing that new Presentation II. Flashback is one of my favourite track :

Just like my Status Electro II 6 Jonas Hellborg model from November 2001 in pristine condition : The low B here is very well defined with the Thomastik JR (nickel roundwound) fitted for the moment. I'll put some Fodera stainless steel roundwounds later (medium scale as it's a 82 cm scale, Jonas Hellborg being Swedish, the scale is in metric measure which gives 32 9/32 inches scale in imperial measure).

Correct, but it's better to use heat-shrinkable sleeve than insulation tape to avoid shortcuts.

Yes, we want more !

Not a problem if it's a real fretless...

Too late !

They are even less fun.

This could be fun, but the selling price won't be, for sure...

Then simply find the other end and solder it back to eyelet. Removing one or a few more turns will absolutely not change the sound. A picture could help.

Yes, he is right, but only one is in Europe (Spain) and is sold by a store. But the regular price for a new one elsewhere is £3500 GBP.

They are indeed : there must be a reason for owning 4 of them at the moment and having owned over 20 over the 3 last decades.

East is good choice, especially the SPM02 which to me is his best preamp, but out of stock for the moment. And don't forget the Aguilar OBP-3 which can bring life to the Noiseless pickups. Delano, Noll and Richter should be considered too, but you'll need a soldering iron just like for any Aguilar... Forget the Pope Flexcore with these pickups as it's the most transparent preamp to date. Same for the Glockenklang. Here is a J-Retro 01 at a good price as it's new :

Put on the red light, it's not the right model !

Funny as I also use Allen wrenches for the strings height : it's so much easier than trying to read a ruler with (our) old eyes.

Are you sure that this is the correct diagnostic because if the lead is cut or broken, the sound will have gone too ?
