So now all wired up, strung with La Bella white tapes, and it's a surprisingly nice instrument, it really sings with the strings but keeps a lot f punch courtesy of the PAF. Really enjoying playing it at home, rehearsing with it tomorrow and all going well there gonna be gigging it in early Feb -
Nothing unless you’ve positioned it very carefully and you’re also very careful with the bass. My Chadwick required the post be removed and reinstalled with each breakdown, simple job due to the design. If I were modifying a standard bass now I’d also engineer a device to install between gigs to keep the soundpost in place 👌

If it is it defies logic and possibly the laws of physics 🤔 -
Bass-firewood-steam trains-village fetes-early street lighting-overpowered 2CVs and all within a single page. Very good work chaps 👍

At present the Squier, happy to install the EMG Geezer for a sale 👍 -
Trades......? -
No 👍
-
Really enjoyed that 👍 -
Daion make (made) very good instruments 👍 -
Thanks Ped, do you think the oils are all much of a muchness, I appear to have Osmo floor oil, worktop oil, and furniture oil (as well as some decking oil but I suspect that'll not be the best bet)?
-
@ped do you know which variant of Osmo Oil was used? I'm keen to oil a couple of my necks and have a few tins os Osmo lying around the place 👍

On fretted I tend to use the G a lot when I'm playing flats where I find the tone quite full, less so with rounds. On FL I use the G a lot

Nothing like a nice bit of Tiger Stripe Ebony, especially when luthiered by Warmoth 👍 -
I like a played-in wooden neck with either very worn nitro or oil finish. If someone could make me a graphite neck with that feel I’d be very happy 👍
-
I think we’re starting to realise the reverse, the expensive stuff ain’t what it’s cracked up to be 👍
-
Sadly that was my experience with Bass Bros also, I suspect their web email thingy doesn't do its job very well, which these days is pretty risky for the business
-
I remember one of my more knowledgable musician mates saying of my TRB6 ".....the sort of bass played by NYC session musicians". That pretty much says it all 👍
-
Get it, I've owned a few Status and Modulus necks/basses, and for my own reasons I still prefer wooden necks, but for me it's more about feel than performance, graphite is quantitatively better IME And yes this is a rather special instrument 👍
-
In the case of a Status neck, improved. Note to note and string to string balance are pretty much perfect, stability and therefore playability significantly improved over all but the absolute best necks (luthier/top-end Warmoth, FCS), and there's a lovely layer of harmonic content that IME you only get from graphite, and good graphite at that (there is bad graphite, rhymes with roses....)
-
Like any other mod, people seek improvement. IME and unlike Badass bridges and ‘better’ PUPs, there are very few basses that aren’t improved significantly by a Status neck 👍
-
Classy bass 👍

What new gear should be produced?

I agree @ped, it’s become an arms race, especially in terms of amplification -
TRBs are fabulous instruments 👍
-
Two keys players in one band?
