The advantage of flats is they sound craP but don't get any crapper. And they feelovely to play.

My brother has a tame luthier who does all his setups. I'm conflicted on one hand I enjoy incrementally tuning my instruments over time, on the other I am tempted by a good setup.

Just having a bit of fun under the affluence of whisky 🙂

Isn't a Variax the least punk bass possible 🙂

0.08 mm There's no such thing as a thousandth of a millimetre in the real world 🙂 0.004 mm is about five wavelengths of deep red light. A 'hair's breadth' ranges from about 0.017 to 0.180 mm. A thousandth of an inch or 0.025 mm is a fairly demanding maximum precision when dealing with things made largely of wood. I used to know a very skilled engineer who once worked making piano mechanisms - they were the only wooden thing he ever dealt with that demanded 0.001" accuracy. I imagine people using ebony bearings on clocks (Harrison's Chronometers) would aspire to similar accuracy.

Do you suffer from stickly labellas? There's now a cure: http://www.peterfieldhypnotherapy.co.uk/fear-of-stickers-afraid-of-labels-stickers-phobia.html

Should be able to.

This seems a rational explanation to me.

Try resoldering it?

Try a TE elf, it might do the job, and if not excellent backup. If you want a clean but characterful amp, consider the Orange Bass Terror in 'clean' mode. That way you have a rock amp as well.

I agree. I think there should also be sections for other rare and esoteric basses: Ugly basses Basses people are selling because they don't like them. Basses that sound horrible Basses that people don't really want to sell but are just testing the water or mollifying an annoyed spouse.

Stcky Labella is sleeping with the fishes. The Post-It Mob got him.

It's possible, but highly unlikely, you have done something that's created a significant amount of extra capacitance in the lead

I'm waiting for a cheap secondhand neck from the Netherlands. It got as far as Oirschot, but is now well on its way back to the sender 😞 They say it's got the right address on it. No Cites declartion?

Just measured two basses at ~1.7 to 1.8 mm at twelfth fret.. Then a short scale at nearly 3mm - yet it feels really easy to play because of the low string tension and I don't think I would want to drop it any more. My fretless is nearer to 4mm, perhaps it could come down a smidge.

'snomobiles

I had one sprayed with by a car paint shop, but it was years ago by a mate but only cost a few beers.

Our guitarist's dad has PA/sound as his hobby, so he deals with all the PA. Lots of it. On teh plus side this means we get excellent sound. The downside is that it takes an age to set up and twice as long to pack up.

Depends who paints it...

Is there cake?

OK, one isn't a Jazz, but it was originally intended as the 'new Jazz'.

I'm in!
