  1. Allparts fretless necks are very very good 👍
  2. Nice post, love the fact that people see a YouTube video and think 'argument over'. Years of experimenting with bitsa Fender-alikes has taught me that wooden components explain a lot of the variance, it might be the idea of 'tone wood' per se, but different bodies and different necks can do very different things to the quality and quantity of what comes out of the PUPs 👍
  3. Sorry to hear that John, hope things improve mate 👍
  4. Hope all's OK John? Re the neck folks, like about 50% of the maple board fretless neck in existence it would seem, this neck used to reside chez Beedster! It's a 70's profile, very nice to play, stable and in very good nick (maple boards can get a little messy). I know i'm going to annoy some of the 'tone is all in the metal bits' folks here, but it always felt very resonant also. Greg, if ever a bitsa had your name on it...........
  5. I bought them on this site for a project that eventually didn't happen so I've no idea, sorry
  6. I'll take these Dan, same payment details as before?
  7. I played 3/4 for years. And then I met my first 4/4, it's a blondes/brunettes thing. I could never play a 3/4 again
  8. PJB have chosen them as their UK agent, and they have let you down badly. I know most people will disagree, but i think PJB owe you
  9. Fretless Ric, always had a very special vibe, beautiful pipey highs, growly mids and thunderous lows, always made me feel great on stage, great for rock but sold it as I moved into genres to which it was less well suited. Not unlike my old Modulus Sonic Hammer, the Ric was almost too much of a good thing at times But if one came up for sale and I had the cash, I’d buy it, even though I am no longer a bass guitar player 🤔
  10. Normally @silverfoxnik would have commented by now surely? Lovely lovely basses, one of the truly great Fender designs 👍
  11. Love those, I'm playing in a Wood Brothers inspired band at the moment and love everything about it with the possible exception of the seriousness, I always prefer to have at least a portion of my tongue in cheek when I play music (and a big part of me would love it to be closer to Steve 'n' Seagulls). Please keep posting similar bands to those above folks, it's great inspiration 👍
  12. Happened to me with fretted bass about three years ago, and with fretless about one year ago, and now I have zero bass guitars and two double basses. The cycle of life. I can't see me going back
  13. You know those days when you're feeling a but down and pi**ed off with the World? When when that happens to me, I watch this lot, so thought I'd share
  14. This is a seriously good instrument, my main bass for several years, never let me down and always delivered, in fact it felt like part of me every time I played it. The neck is THE best neck i ever played 👍
  15. To avoid a debate, probably worth reminding those who attribute these things to certain demographics that the OP indicated that the gender and ethnicity of the scammers appeared to be quite fluid 👍
  16. Come on, which ethnic group is that funkgod?
  17. Now this is a thread 👍
  18. Do it carefully then
  19. Thanks mate, that’s a pretty serious budget! Is the floor suspended, and what level of sound insulation will you have when finished. Must be very exciting 👍
  20. This is moving along nicely binky! Would it be rude to ask the approx budget for the build, I'm looking to do much the same thing when we finally move, all going well in June?
  21. Met up with Nick in London yesterday and handed over my AER Basic Performer. Lovely chap, could have talked music and rural living for hours! Nice straight forward transaction as well. Life as it should be 👍
