It's stuck on. It came to me like that (I would've probably had it a little further south of the neck) but it works fine, when I use it.

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1444031937' post='2879503'] I have always thought these looked awesome... particularly the MB2 with the koa top. I would have to add something on there to rest my thumb on though! I would very much like to have one in the stable.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1443977715' post='2879149'] Surely there is something negative about them? [/quote]No*. I can understand the potential grief from your significant other, it's what I was expecting from mine. However, I played her the YouTube clip of Peter Kastner playing Nardis and because it sounds so different, she could tell it wasn't just another bass and could see/hear why I wanted one. What will also not help your desire to avoid getting one is that, with just a little judicious EQing, you can make them sound like a conventional fretless. Sorry. *They are expensive, but comparatively cheaper secondhand than a similar level quality DB.

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' timestamp='1443944765' post='2878780'] 3 strings were okay for Tony Levin. I saw him play this bass on Peter Gabriel's "Us" tour. It's a shame that it was lost in the barn fire at Tony's home.

Sandberg did a 2 stringed one that was always at shows.

Thread resurrection. Inspired by a lovely Tom Anderson Tele with P90s in trans turquoise, I've messed with the above guitar again. Rather than rout for full sized P90s I bought P90 voiced Strat and Tele sized DiMarzios. The I stained and polished the top (this was the 3rd attempt after 2 abortive goes). Assembled it today and I have to say that I'm very pleased with the results, both visually and sonically. And so, as this post is worthless without pics...

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1443719585' post='2877174'] I'm now selling everything I own to pay for it, and with perfect timing by DB has some potentially expensive issues also [/quote]When you say everything, I assume that doesn't include your original Wal

Über droolage!

Just watched the performance on Later. I liked both tracks and thought they were very un-Floyd like, in fact I thought they were decidedly Roxy Music in flavour. Guy Pratt sounded great.

According to the website, my Rob Allen MB2 is approx 6.5lbs. To be honest, it feels lighter.

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1443524283' post='2875465'] Fretless PRS seen on farcebook... I think I'm in love... [/quote]Filth!

Any of the Rob Allens are worth a try, my MB2 can have that deep upright like tone or, with a boost in the 500k range, a more 'typical' fretless tone.

Hard to beat that combination. The nicest thing about those SUB necks is, as they're 'unfinished', you can easily make them more playable. Congrats.

[quote name='Number6' timestamp='1443023199' post='2871578'] there's a lot of lucre in the nostalgia game. [/quote]Which is why pub bands that play all the songs we love to hate, often badly (you know the ones), fill dance floors every week.

Given the Motown name check, LaBellas would be my first port of call. Other folk have mentioned that the tension is quite high, but I've never noticed any difference between them and my usual Elixir or D'Addario rounds (45, 55, 80, 100). http://www.labella.com/products/760fl/

Hiwatt T40 head. Not sure of the price, but seems to fit the criteria sound wise http://www.robchapman.tv/forum/threads/hiwatt-t40-combo-first-impressions.31024/

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1443163669' post='2872678'] I got a lovely email from Paul at Wal yesterday evening regarding the review in this months BGM. Despite a couple of inaccuracies in the review the overall vibe was positive and If Paul's happy so am I... he did make it afterall, I just ordered it! [/quote]The inaccuracies are not the best advert for the mag and details are surely easily checked before print, but the fact that they liked your Wal must give you a nice warm glow. However, as a review, I found it a bit cursory, more details in the sound and playability department definitely required.

[quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1443194550' post='2873036'] Yes, that was a good one. I also liked the instrumental theme from OHMSS -- some damned fine music on that film's soundtrack. [/quote]Those soaring John Barry string arrangements always give me goosebumps.

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1443197677' post='2873078'] I thought the RTB mix sounds quite good! Can't wait for the album/DVD. [/quote]Agreed. Other than the rhythm guitar needing to be a little higher in the mix, I didn't think that was too sloppy. Great bass tone.

Voted. Bilbo got my vote this month, I really liked the John Martyn meets Pat Metheny with Danny Thompson on bass vibe.

I liked Chris Cornell's Remember My Name for Casino Royale.

Time for a pic I feel, [URL=http://s308.photobucket.com/user/ezbass/media/P1-1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i308.photobucket.com/albums/kk344/ezbass/P1-1.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='4-string-thing' timestamp='1443039775' post='2871817'] Richard Thompson chose to play (IMO) the weakest song from his new album, strange thing to do, hopefully he'll be a bit more exciting on Friday! [/quote]Agreed. I found that most disappointing, maybe, as you say, the extended Friday show will have better stuff. As for the rest, I pretty much fast forwarded through it all.
