    Already dropped it a mil before anyone else responded - I don’t like it! I thought it’d be easier on my daddy longlegs fingers, but it clangs too much compared to what ive been used to these past however many years I’ve had this bass. Therre we go - live and learn and all that!

    Cool - thanks! Looks like I’m just over 3mm at the twelfth fret now, so I’ll put it down a bit. I’m sure there are many possibilities, but what then would be high or low? Also, is there any resource that would provide well known players preferences? Just a thought.

    Hello friends. I had a quick google, but could not find anything specific, so would appreciate your collective input! How many millimeters is low, medium and high action? With reference to my own playing aspirations, I want to be be James Jamerson when I grow up - did he play with a high action? Thanks in advance!

    Ooh, walnut - nice!

    I bought a thunderbird rip off, then sold it to a mate a day later. Only bought it because I was so happy there was one actually available when I looked!

    I really love my JV P-Bass. I was noodling this morning, listening to the resonance (unplugged) and thinking “bloody hell this is nice”. Its getting a bit battered these days though, and I’m not a roadworn/relic fan!

    Aesthetically, it looks too close to the bridge. I’d shift it neckwards by 4 or 5 cm. iI have no idea if that is correct sound-wise though!

    Lovely!

    Number 3 if you need 2 pickups - a nice balance with the pick guard! Or maybe just 1 in a Stingray position?

    Was it a special order? I couldn’t see a bass jaguar body there.

    This site never fails to educate! I’d just accepted the fact that my glasses will slip down my nose as the song goes on, so worked the looking upwards thing in to my little shuffle. I like the little grommet type ones there, I just want to avoid putting more stuff on my head (already have ear plugs in too!) Now, if I could only find a cure for “bass face” (as the Mrs calls it) where all facial expressions switch off...

    I always fancied one of those, just lack the funds for the foreseeable! Bring it along to the bass bash if it’s still not sold!

    Do they come with authentic 70’s build quality too?

    Nothing to do with bass, but one of my all time favourite translations, found on a kids toy;
  15. Pea Turgh
    Have you read the full description?! I LOVE a good (bad) translation!!!
  16. Pea Turgh
    That’s a lovely bit of flamed maple. I LOVE a flamed maple neck!
  17. Pea Turgh
    Headless - the balance was rubbish on the one I tried once, the head stocks are HUGE!!!

    I too am a fan of the look, and as you found, don’t see them often. i wonder what the nut width is (I cant get on with narrow necks)
  19. Pea Turgh
    I’ve always liked them, never had one. However, I did build a copy with a 22 fret neck and a more contoured body about 20 yrs ago! My interest has definitely been reignited looking at these new ones.
  20. Pea Turgh
    Want!
  21. Pea Turgh
    Oh yeah! That way too!
  22. Pea Turgh
    The scale length would be determined by the frets, surely?
  23. Pea Turgh
    Almost done! Ran out of Velcro for the power supply, so that will have to wait for now. I was going to try to fit it underneath. I’m also now thinking of ways to make the power cables neater. Maybe cable ties. Still, not bad for bits I had lying around!
  24. Pea Turgh
    Btw - never came across a design like this - way cool! Might have gone a different direction myself had I seen this one first!

    With three small kids, time to do self-indulgent DIY projects is somewhat limited, but I finally borrowed a sander and got to the shed to find some Ronseal! I forgot how fun making stuff is! Tomorrow it’s on to Velcro and rubber feet (for the pedal board, cheeky).
