    Cool, thanks. I might over again slightly diluted and see if it comes out less tacky.

    I'm currently doing a maple neck with Tru-Oil, newly opened bottle, which I'm finding is going on rather sticky, and drying with a very slight tack even after a day or two in a warm conservatory. I'm wondering if a small dilution with white spirits would help it dry quicker and less tacky? Any thoughts welcome, cheers.

    I asked a question about using tru-oil on a fretless in a different thread. Do you intend finishing the surface with anything? I have a strong suspicion my u.s. masters fretless used this.

    @Andyjr1515Is the fretboard pao ferro on these?
  5. MoonBassAlpha
    I have 2 fretless necks for my u.s. Masters bass which show minimal wear after many years wearing roundwound strings. The boards are pao ferro and impregnated with something. The necks have a nice satin feel and I'm sure I remembered it being Tru-Oil, and I'm wondering if the fingerboard finish is the same. Has anyone used Tru-Oil on a fingerboard? I've nearly finished a short scale replacement neck for one and thinking it might be worth a try.

    Thanks for that, an interesting read! Appreciated.

    Anyone used one for recording bass yet? Got one incoming in May, I'd be interested in your thoughts, cheers!

    Touch of Shergold, or Wal about the body. Nice.

    These metal neck Kramers do have a unique sound. I think they look super cool too!

    @kodiakblair thanks matey, that looks just the ticket!

    Out of interest, where did you find a 30" scale 24 fret neck?
  12. MoonBassAlpha
    Probably electrolytic capacitors on the preamp power supply not working correctly. If they are largeish, sometimes the vibration can fracture the solder around one of the pins too.

    Looking at it, I think you could fit a 32" 20 fret neck and move the bridge back 3/4" and have it intonate ok with the travel on those saddles. I know you said you weren't keen, but it's doable, if you can source a neck!

    I'm looking for a medium scale fretless neck that I can use as a 24fret short scale for my current fretless. It should work, as my bass has an unusual neck attachment. I would think that's about right for a bespoke neck. Unfortunately

    I set one of these up for a bassist in one of my drummer's other bands and achieved the lowest action on any bass I've ever done. The quality of the neck was quite superb! Glwts!

    Macca's bass turning up after 51 years should give you hope!
  17. MoonBassAlpha
    I thought I looked for it, must have man-looked! Thanks.

    I've been asked by a friend if I know any recommendations for one on one, not online tuition for a 16 year old lad

    When I get back from holiday, I'm going to ebay this with £150 start, and may even offer postage too, so put in your interest before it goes up!

    From the photo, the strings don't seem remotely aligned with the pole pieces. Maybe a tiny neo magnetic on just the e pole would help? A similar sized pickup with blade/ rail configuration might just pick the outer strings better?

    Aaand... SOLD to the man in the Clash t-shirt!

    Reassuringly difficult to destroy.

    Didn't get a photo, but Green Rooms in Witney had a rack mounted Mark Bass head, rack tuner and MB 6x10 cab the only time I went there. Included in room cost. Well impressed!
  24. MoonBassAlpha
    Thanks, I think it's priced OK, for someone who wants to rock out rather than just look at it, it should be ideal!
