  1. My experience with bridge saddle height and intonation. And cured the bridge roll to nice and seated.

    Similar experience with an electro acoustics... just make sure the piezo element is flat and central to the strings / cavity... some times they have raised sections, on the saddle blade, piezo element, or both. 

     

    I got a spare bridge blade. Cheap enough then file or mid that one keeping the OE as a reference.

  2. Forward Angle... Saddles on the deck...

    Needs a shim in the back of the neck pocket.

    Truss Rod isn't the the thing to fix what you describe...

    Hold the E on the 1st fret and say the 12th or 17th... to act as a straight edge against the neck

    Should be a Business Card / Credit Card gap called the 'Relief' between bottom of string and the top of the 7th, 9th fret... take a look... this is what the truss rod adjusts.

    Slight Shim in the neck pocket will angle the neck back, and mean the saddles need to be raised, allowing the action to be set.

  3. Not in a band... but my Son loves the sound of his Fretless, Drive and Wah, playing more lead, melody.

     

    He feels it's fretless capabilities and difference should be explored more.

     

    He's trying the the Zoom B1 Synth stuff to come up with something...

     

    He asked me how to get a more 'Saxophone Sound' ? Feels the expressiveness can provide an overlap...

     

    Anyone?

  4. I'd start with a quick look on Gumtree and Faceache... see whats local.

    I loves it... Ibby GSR200 £60ish... Squier P £80ish... quick haggle 'n £50 and £60...

    See whats out there and report back with a short list.

    What sort of music or look do they like... a bass that they want to pick up is better than one they don't

     

    That Maison screams Cort/Ibanez to me... PJ, Active Tones, a more compact body than a Squier P and 'prolly a sleeker neck... I'd give that a Serious Consideration...
