    The open string intonation is the scale and is as mentioned 34 inches, so a very standard one. 😉

    Adam O'Farrill sounds like a huge fan of Paolo Fresu. 😉

    I guess you mean the far end of the bridge where the ball is anchoring?

    @sandy_r: What's your bass? I've used White Nylon's on headless and headed basses without any issue at all. My Leduc Masterpiece MP 628 SF (34 inches scale) is fitted with regular long scale White Nylon's since a year or two as they really last very long. Check these photos made recently, no signs of wear and tear:

    Try the LaBella White Nylon's, they are lighter in tension than any other nylon taped strings and sound terrific on fretless basses with very good mids for that mwah we are almost all after. In fact, these are totally alive strings compared to the other more dull sounding nylon taped strings, because inside are roundwound stainless strings.

    You won't make a penny as they already exist: check GR Bass AeroTech Carbon Fiber series or the Natural Fiber series, you'll be amazed by the weight and power. I own and play a GR Bass AeroTech Full Carbon Combo 800 (Watts at 4 Ohms) coupled, when needed) to a GR Bass AeroTech Full Carbon Cabinet 112+ (450 Watts at 8 Ohms): plenty of power and total weight of both is ... 14.5 kilos (do the maths to convert it in ancient money).

    1982 or 1985?

    And Tony Grey too, but my favourite is, of course, Anthony Jackson: simply amazing groove.

    I was 20 years old in 1985, so for sure Yello Stella on one side and Uzeb Between the Lines on the other side. And another cassette with Joe Jackson Big World on one side and The Pogues Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash on the other and singing (more certainly yelling) like a mad man in the car when Dirty Old Town was playing.

    Thanks @tauzero, I'm so tired explaining this phenomenon again and again and again. Just make a real shielding with everything star grounded, so you'll stop acting as an antenna and suddenly everything will become dead quiet.

    Fodera to sell their instruments at the right price which is a third of what they are asking.
  12. Hellzero
    Free cheese for everyone.

    Interesting, so they are taking brains out to coat strings! It's Gore-Tex, not Cortex. 🤦🏻‍♂️ So it's the quite same material enabling humidity to get out but not in that you find in clothes or shoes...

    Why don't you simply ask the seller, Alberto? Zimmerly Silly Bass .....Fretless extended range custom bass https://reverb.com/item/27101
  15. Hellzero
    So you didn't read.
  16. Hellzero
    Do you sometimes read what others write?
  17. Hellzero
    Yep.

    That's strange, because I use White Nylon's on some of my basses and they are ... white. I guess you had the Copper White Nylon's or the Gold White Nylon's with, in fact, transparent nylon, no white, hence the colour. There are 3 types of White Nylon's. The White Nylon's, the only Nylon strings with round wound string inside: https://www.labella.com/product/750t/ The Copper White Nylon's, with flat wound low copper alloy string inside: https://www.labella.com/product/750c/ The Gold White Nylon's, with a golden alloy (80% of brass, a bit like acoustic bronze strings) flat wound string inside: https://www.labella.com/product/750g/
  19. Hellzero
    Yes, but the bass Alberto is after is a Zimmerly, a real luthier, and it has been used by the late Randy Coven. https://m.facebook.com/people/Zimmerly-Bass-Guitars/100063082547861/

    In fact Marleaux has been inspired by the Pagelli to make his Diva model, and the Pagelli shown above with the volume control à la Leduc was made as a special edition very small run (5 instruments IIRC) by ... Gerald Marleaux himself. Looping the loop. 😉
  21. Hellzero
    Or maybe, it's the Pagelli bass, a true work of art and, to me, one of the most beautiful bass ever made:
  22. Hellzero
    I guess it's this bass you're mentioning, @itu:
  23. Hellzero
    Conklin and RMI (same look as the Zon Hyperbass) made a lot of 36 positions basses.
  24. Hellzero
    Jerzy Drozd is also making some 3 octaves basses or more precisely 36 positions basses.
  25. Hellzero
    If he was still alive, it would have been interesting to ask James Jameson who died just after his Funk Machine was stolen what were his thoughts about this...
