They say 'Our factory can make it according to your needs...' I'd find the one you like, then message em. Do you want Face Markers, on the fretted and Lines on the Fretless? or both plain with just side markers on both? In between on the fretless like a fretted, or 'at' the fret? worth a strong mention! And Howz about a reverse headstock on the lower? Too 'Modern'?

The bay... https://ebay.co.uk/usr/zhongtunshangmao I'd message em and i'd be bargaining for a discount... I'd start at £120 the Pair Delivered?

^ or Screwfix No Nonsense Danish Oil @ £7... I used it on my P Bitsa https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-danish-oil-clear-500ml/7393V?

Yeah, does look like it goes a little forward of the lower horn, would be nice profiled and angled more like the 4004. Should be OK as long as I don't stray above the 12th too often! Was meant to have plain white body binding to match the neck, but looks like it got the standard chequer... Hope what arrives is more Instrument than Ornament...

Couple of Body Shots... getting there...

Hi, great intro and insight in to the world of mini-bass!

Center of string... saddle contact. Space between stings?... Thats just weired and thinking to hard! Next you will be setting the width on the amount of propogation, as in how much each string moves!.. now there's a thought...

^Loved Nick's Saucers gig at the Roundhouse shownon Sky Arts, borrowing Guy Pratt... Sounds like it started out for Sh!t 'n Giggles and as one put it 'a nice lunch'... so much fun they couldnt leave it alone! Great set of tracks, and looked like they were enjoying it... a lot more low key than DG's events...

Bingo! Embarassment... No - We've all been there with something (Motorcycle Ignition Kill Switch anyone?) in the rush to get things sorted, particularly if theses are new experiances... and the 'destructions' lacking! Positives... You joined Basschat and reached out to the collective mind of the Basschat Borg, worked thru it and got it sorted!... Joy... of getting it sorted, but i imagine the biggest joy will be hearing your daughter play! There is just one important thing missing from this thread, and the first rule of Basschat... post a pic of the bass!

Turn it OFF and ON again - Virgin Media...

All OK at the nut? New Strings? 'Witness Point' press of the strings over the bridge?

A thread suggests they are passive pups with an active pre... try each pick up on its own, wired direct to the out jack... make sure you get the correct pins... as some times a stereo jack socket is used as a switch for the batt... https://www.talkbass.com/threads/yamaha-rbx760a.1120089/?amp=1433947162

Got a Second Hand PJ Vintage set of Kent Armstrongs from a fellow Basschatter, so great value at that price... Other names are Wilkinson and Warman, but not sure if these are re-badged Chinese imports... Specs seem to compare with pups listed on the bay and Ali Express from what i can see...

Mrs has just come back from shopping... Aldi... You know when someone is arsing about in the kitchen, half putting things away, half just moving things about... that sort of half murmuring, half singing type noise you sometimes hear... inter played with odd comments or requests? ...No! i don't want to see the new pots with lids... Whats that Clonking? the Door won't shut with the new Over Door Clothes Airer you say? Then take it bloody back rather than taking chunks of paint and wood out of the door frame... Oh lord the 'Busy' Wife Tinnitus... please make it stop! It's like a torture, I'm sure she'd get confessions to murder... then again, might be the only way of getting it to stop!

@HK.Are you on Rickenfakers Facebook?.. As for TRCs GigInk make nice custom ones... Cost is OK for a Real Rick or Quality Replica... I've got a Chickenbacker Custom Incoming so a cheap option of a Stick on Decal at the ready until i check it out...

Yep... the Cross Over Links... Tight in there and easy to link out another tag... especialy if uninsulayed Tinned Copper Wire (TCW) is used...

Check for a 'short' between the two pot X link wires?..
