[quote name='EliasMooseblaster' timestamp='1493826597' post='3291051'] I really quite like that - did you add the fret lines yourself? (Not sure I've seen a lined one before) [/quote] No..I had a luthier do it for me....I made the wooden control plate..and refinished it.

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1493739862' post='3290328'] Here's another thread about another great fretless: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/262540-wishbass-makeover/page__p__2779898__hl__wishbass__fromsearch__1#entry2779898 [/quote] Thanks Mr Grangur!

[quote name='Bass_Guardian' timestamp='1493737591' post='3290297'] That's a curveball! Got any pics? [/quote] See Grangurs link on this thread.

I own a few fretless basses. My wishbass is one of my favourites.

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1493191861' post='3286278'] The album is available from May1st but you can pre-order here: [url="https://thoofa.bandcamp.com/releases"]https://thoofa.bandcamp.com/releases[/url] [/quote] Thanks..just pre ordered.

Love it. Where can I buy the album?

Gorgeous

Easiest and best way I've found is to use naphtha.....lighter fuel. Put a few drops on a clean cloth ..loosen strings a little, and wipe each string along the entire length by pinching each string with the cloth and wiping lengthwise...a few wipes and the strings are squeaky clean.

[quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1492684284' post='3282251'] So I'm building a new bass. I'm looking for a jazz and a musicman pickup in white or cream. The jazz is easy enough as there's loads of replacement covers available, but does anyone know of a company who make great jazz and humbuckers in white or cream? Thx [/quote] How about DiMarzio?

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1492678548' post='3282169'] I've got one of those. It was my 1st bass. [url=https://flic.kr/p/bGUdZp][/url] Needs a bit of TLC, but I'm working on it. I've also defretted it. Still have the original hardware & pick ups too. [url=https://flic.kr/p/8NQW6Q][/url] [/quote] Great basses imho.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1492675954' post='3282127'] I've always wanted to use that! [/quote] Ha ha..pics now up in the " Bass Guitars" part of the forum.

[quote name='BassApprentice' timestamp='1492675282' post='3282119'] I love the way dual split P pickups look on a bass, but what are the tonal advantages/differences of having a split P at the bridge? Not exactly the most common set up so haven't ever played one and interested to see what people think of it [/quote] Hi, I have a vox standard bass with a Di Marzio P pick up near the bridge...sounds great..quite similar in many ways to a J type in the same position.

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1492635824' post='3281954'] Lovely! Out of curiosity what's the neck like on these? Whats the nut width?. [/quote] I'll put it through its paces tomorrow..will let you know.

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1492631447' post='3281890'] That's very nice Raj. [/quote] Thanks man.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1492626732' post='3281810'] Lovely. That would look very nice next to my '79 Mockingbird. [/quote] I bet it would.

[quote name='uk_lefty' timestamp='1492624358' post='3281767'] That is very special! No wonder you were tearing your hair out, you aren't going to find many of them around! Well done [/quote] Thanks.
