UPDATE well i sorted my ignition violin bass here's how ! get a fret rocker find the culprit frets when identified all the high frets loosen truss rod to straighten neck and if you have ( if not get one ) a fret hammer and tap the high fret back in no need for luthier or to level frets sometimes the frets are just not seated in enough ! great little bass now ...... regards .. tony

Well like I said had a bad experience with thomman regarding a ibanez talman bass which arrived with knobs hanging off and was told too ask a friend or someone who was handy to tighten them back on luckily am not a beginner. So I did it myself. But the point is I had a bad experience.. then I got a hb Tele and the pickups were like microphones. So I would never by from thomman. Saying that. Modern ibanez I wouldn't thank you for either. Just my preference.... Don't understand. Ya bein uppety ( slang). About grammar I was answering you or was it I don't do Harley Benton's ?

Iyou might be right but I had a bad experience with a hb guitar. So I wouldn't take a chance again. Also I could not gig with a hb guitar. Am a bit of a gear snob 😔 soz the hofner does sound good too with rounds on.

Distro kid. Only £20. For the year. Am on every single streaming service. Not made much like. Only £3. But it's a good way to copyright your songs and ave them out their 👍

just got a ignition violin bass in black. And it looks good. But the action was a bit high for my taste. So I lowered the saddle. (is their a easy way to do this rather than to detune everytime ?). And I got fret buzz. So I highered it back up. Fret buzz adjusted truss rod fret buzz can't get rid off it now !!! Mostly on my d string... It a awkward bass too set up. The Mrs is avin a go cos I spent about 5hrs trying too sort it ! Next step I might get new strings. Am a rounds guy. Only tried flats once. On my jazz bass but for the music I play in a cover band needs rounds on.... Felt like throwing this bass through the window... But she looks so cute

Nice one 👍

Thnx tredders 👍

been toying with getting a hofner ignition violin bass but notice some basses say (hofner ignition bass) and others say {HI-BB or HI-BB-SB ) anyone know what this means confusing me .. thnx in advance .. tony

congrats sh73 nice playing bud

Enjoyed that. You did good !! Enjoyed the big country vibe too 👍

I bought a ibanez tmb100. In 2020. And I had to pay customs etc. But I think that's all gone now. ... Anyway the bass was the worst bass I've had. And on arrival the knobs were almost falling off... Fixed them myself. Played it didn't like it sold it 👍

Pheww! I very nearly didn't post this. Had loads of probs recording this track kinda rushed and had lots off probs with distortion on the mix. And not happy with take etc ! Ahhh well here goes enjoy 👍. Listen to she said demo 2.wav by Tony Mcvey on #SoundCloud

As a child I was obsessed with bass but didn't know it, at the time but I used to turn my stereo speakers upside down and put my ear on it for that pumping sound which was the bass.. I then discovered if I play my records faster speed the bass line pops out..at 12 I got a violin bass I didn't learn untill I was 17. I gigged in bands from 18 till 40 odd. I now teach kids with special needs musical workshop. I haven't gigged for years but !!!! November 3rd this. Year Am gigging again at the age of 58 in a function with some guys I know who are in their late 60s. Ha ha I feel like the kid in the band.... Now days I do a lot of recording writing songs. .... Just hang in their buddy. It comes back when ya don't expect it
