Yeah just change the saddles, I’ve done it on a few of my jazzes as I like the threaded ones, I got the fender ones a long time back maybe from allparts, they were quite expensive though, or maybe get a hosco bridge and just take the saddles off, like this

Can’t say I’ve ever heard that one before 😁

I’ve always used a strip of business card with no problems whatsoever, that very thin shim can make a big difference to your setup, I wouldn’t go any thicker

Congratulations Grand Master 😁

thanks sponz

I might be missing something here but what difference does the line make

Great one here I’m playing at the moment, not heard very often, Gregory Isaacs and Set the captives free

Tweed cabs to match, looks great

Well I looked at the pictures pretty closely and I’m not sure who it is, just glad I haven’t got anything coming from Europe at the moment

Have to agree with that one, many have come and gone but my 2014 Olympic white one is going nowhere

If the bass arrived last week I’d have thought the builder would have come up with a response or resolution by now, hopefully something has been sorted

What I’ve learned is long practice sessions don’t really work for me, I don’t tend to absorb it all, whereas if I do 1 - 2 hours I remember everything, also if I can’t quite get something like a tricky Bassline, I always take a break then come back to it , and more often than not I get it straight away , I used to end up noodling for hours but now I make notes of what to focus on

Hi Tony, I wish you all the very best in your future decisions ,and really hope you’ll stick around here to share your thoughts and knowledge , I always enjoy your posts

Love that, you don’t see those for sale very often , I bet it sounds great, hope you get it

This is what I was thinking, are they honestly expecting any customer to not raise these issues, and why send it knowing the imperfections

Wow that’s a lot of practice, I really admire your dedication, I don’t think I’ve ever done that much, at one time I was doing around 4 to 6 hours a day , you must have improved immensely over the 3 years

Just my opinion, That’s quite a chunk of money for a finish like that, I don’t think that’s acceptable for a new bass and I’d be in talks about getting a refund and going elsewhere , sorry to hear that this has happened on your birthday treat and I hope you get it sorted

Some easy listening this morning with Fat Freddy's Drop

That groove at 24.01 so good, never heard that song before but it’s now on my list to try

Thanks for that, I don’t think I’ve seen it before, will have a better listen later with headphones

Another one for the Sean and P bass fans, I haven’t seen it all yet as I’ve got to go out but will watch later , love it

Nice one, glad you got it

I did see a red one on there a while back but it disappeared a few days ago

Ive had this before and for me the bass which was pretty expensive did turn up a few days later, which I think might happen with yours, really bad response from the shop though, they should have more respect for their customers, there’s excellent advice above as always , hope all works out well for you bigthumb

I’d really like to hear that, I’ve only had mine through a barefaced big baby and markbass 15’s
