Dunlop Nylon, 1mm Don't like the powdery feel of the tortex material, and they are too stiff for the thickness.

If you run a length of tape up each side of the neck along the fretboard edge, [First, before the across pieces...] you can then peel the across fret bits of tape off in a one-er... I use one of those thin metal fret shields.

I have a EHX Headphone Amp... more durable than those VoxAmp plug things, it works well after pedals etc. But is very sterile as no cab sim etc. https://spartanmusic.co.uk/products/electro-harmonix-headphone-amp Artec used to do an On-Board headphone amp, but again sound like an instrument, not an instrument into an amp, cab, in a room. Zoom B1 on or B1 Four - They can be as Complicated as ya like, Simple Quality Best Solution.

Love the rear route, single vol look of simplicity on these, often wonder, but have way too many. Page 6 if ya fancy teleheading... bass heads.pdf -
Looks like it might have one too many strings...

How hard, and how are you plucking the strings? Pic or Finger? If finger pushing the string up/down, rather than in - out. Try a lighter touch, fret buzz still there?

Have you still got the BWB, as it really ties in the blocks -
Had a play with a B2 a while back Well worth replacing the 3 plastic washers on the tuner screws with a F4-10M Thrust Bearing (4 for about £5) for smoother tuning. Mine is wired Single Vol after a 3 Way Pup Selector.

Advice Required re. Bass Neck Removal...
PaulThePlug replied to Old Man Riva's topic in Bass Guitars
Ease the neck Up and Out Vertical... That way you can check for a shim, Plus the neck pocket / neck is a taper, and you don't / won't want to be Sliding it Horizontal. Blow out the body and neck holes, often a bit of breakthru at the neck hole, i always like a hint of countersink and a wipe of cangle wax or hard hand soap on the threads for reassembly to stop any snagging. Nip up! they are Wood Screws not Machine Bolts. -
