They’re on! Glass cleaner first, and then applied on 2 basses. Only wobble on one of the rhe 12th’s! Gig tonight…….see if they’re still attached by the end! 😁

Is that ok on the necks? I’m doing one lacquered and one natural/satin. I was thinking about using a glasses wipe? 👀

@Huge Hands Got them yesterday! Going to apply them before tomorrow’s gig. Do you remember what you cleaned the neck with before application? Yours appeared to be now staying on? 👍

Thank you, Mr 🙌 Hands! I’ll order some now……they sound like just the job. 👍 Do you always use the light, or do you find they naturally illuminate?

Do you remember what colour they were before lit up? I’d be a bit put off if they were bright green ‘cold’, especially on a Vintage style bass! 🫣

Been doing lots of digging…..due to a multitude of eye ops, I really struggle with the side dots on my necks. Some threads are older, and it’s hard to get a consistent answer! Reviews of some have them falling off rapidly…… An older post mentioned Glowtec - any recent experiences of them? Appear to come in 3 different sets….. Basses are both nice instruments, so I don’t want to doing a Talkbass suggestion of TipEx or similar! Just something in keeping, that will assist me when the lights dip (even a little). 👀

I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with Bruce for his AV2 P. A gent from start to finish, amazing comms, kept me updated at every stage. Packaged to survive a nuclear blast as well, very reassuring! 🤓 Thanks again Bruce for a fab transaction. 👍👍

Dave Allen, by default, if they were naming comics! 😉

Bit shocking, that. If that was a local band, think he’d struggle to get away with those vocals! 🫣

It was a Markbass Little Marcus 800, Martin. I wasn’t put off as I went out and picked up a new (500) one! 🤣

They were amazing. Didn’t charge me anything….as one bit was fine so no work required, and as for the amp…..they agreed it wasn’t worth touching.

I use the Cobalt Flats, they’re fab. 👍

It did and it didn’t! The cab was absolutely fine, it was my choice of cables that it didn’t like. 👍 Amp was a different story. It was the main board - IIRC - essentially, it would have meant a new one, which was the value of the amp. I’d bought it used - it died on its first gig. I couldn’t return it……long story. I didn’t have East Street look at until I’d had it for about 8 weeks, so it would have seemed dodgy if I’d then I’d have contacted the seller to say it was dead. So I took the hit. 😫

I think there’s definitely a hefty prog element to them. Dont forget the ‘Gospel According To…’ was a concept album. 😀

My luthier had a very successful go today, blade, file, and other tools…..he’s managed to carve a matching hole to the genuine one! 👍

Thanks! Damn auto correction….🫣

Had an aftermarket pickguard fitted to a US Pro Precison. Looks great, but just noticed I can’t access the truss rod! Don’t want to remove the neck all the time - has anyone got any fixes for this, or tips to gain easy access? 🤞 Bass is black, black PG. Thoughts? 👍

RIP Herbie. A true career bass player that broke into public consciousness with his work. A lot of us are probably here because of Herbie’s influence. 🥹

Any more info or experiences on these? I’m hunting for a practice bass, and as a MB fanboy, I’m quite tempted by a yellow variant! and yes, I love the colour! 🤘

Sad to hear that, but as long as you can finish on a good note - look back with affection, rather than doing it hating it. 🎸
