Summer in the city - Lovin’ Spoonful.

Just spent a couple of hours fiddling. Put a lot more relief into the neck and upped and downed the bridge. The buzz is pretty much gone, but the neck is quite bowed forward. If was a bass guitar I’d call it a banana neck.

Hard to tell but probably bridge end.

My NS NXT has developed an annoying buzz when you play an open G. I’ve currently got foam wedged under the strings as a mute to reduce the problem but it’s still there and is amplified. Have you or any other NS players experienced this, I’ve no idea how to cure it - new strings , change the action, loose truss rod?

Thoughts on Jack Casady Epi basses?
Grahambythesea replied to Ccwg_Bass's topic in General Discussion
Mine is branded Peerless who are the Korean Company that made them originally for Epiphone before production moved to China. Superbly made and great sounding bass. I don’t seem to have the problems others mentioned, neck dive and twisting. However it does have a thick neck, a chunky feel that’s really different to my other basses. -

Sounds ok, but what pedal/amp is it being put through because that’s never it’s u processed sound.

Song sung blue - Neil Diamond

I’m not surprised Stanley’s got rid of it, what was he thinking about ordering it and what was Ken Smith thinking about accepting the order and building it 😖

I bet that plays a lot better than a violin bass (which I have owned) but have much too close together strings IMHO. Whilst that model was never a Guild in the 60s, it certainly looks like it should have been. Good buy for a 60s band.

Who was the earliest influence that you tried to sound like

Probably Chas Chandler, although I’ve never been a plectrum bassist. -

Bloody hell, I haven’t bought a bass for over a year now…….

With great low end comes great responsibility
Grahambythesea replied to Mark_Bass's topic in General Discussion
I wonder if anyone either in the band or audience has even noticed you’re playing a 5? -
A 4 & 6 Bass - definitely why? A bet the neck dive is humongous!
