  1. Truss rod adjustment at the heel (without the wheel) is a solid dislike. I hate popping the necks on any of my guitars. I think I have 1 guitar where I would need to do that. That takes the prize for most unusual so far.
  2. I don't like copies made in China I don't like Fender I don't like the Gibson 3 Point I don't like Musicman Pickups I don't like Poplar, Laurel, Nato etc I don't like Short Scale But I love yo Momma...and Carvin.
  3. The board on my fretless has extra thick rosewood - I think that's in case you're a rounds player.
  4. I'm 5'11 and I played an OW 36" - I didn't notice any difference changing to and from my '58-esque Precision. I had a Peavey Cirrus 35" and that felt longer than the 36" for some odd reason. OW magic.
  5. Always flatwounds for me - At the moment, I have the stock Carvins on mine. Having tried those from Thomastik Infeld and D'Addario before, I've now settled on Rotosound.
  6. I have a P, Fretless J5, EB2D-type and Modern Soapbar - All bases/basses covered. I've owned 6'ers and I just don't use them, but I need the 5'er really.
  7. Late 1970s to Mid 1980s Yamaha JX30 Guitar Combo Amplifier - Made in Japan. Excellent condition. Amp is fully functional and everything works as it should. Low input for home and high input for rehearsal and small gigs. Yamaha voiced the 1x12 Japanese speaker to copy a 60s Jensen, so it excels at warm, clean Fender tones. Sought after for Jazz but sounds great for any style. A good pedal platform. £120 cash on collection only.

  9. If you hit yourself in the head with a Peavey Cirrus (several times), it will start to look like a Gibson Thunderbird. This is true.
  10. Nobody knows... Call yourself a bass forum *shakes head*
  11. I can see Carl Thompson had the shape in 1977, but with Dimarzio Model Js.
  12. The Overwater Original took it a bit further... Now with a 5 piece neck, more ergonomic shape and nice facing(s) on the wings. Anybody know? I'm thinking 70s some time.
  13. Thru neck with humbucking soapbars, like the original Bartolinis.
  14. Double soapbar, thru neck bass? I'd say Alembic at a guess, as the original inspiration for... Tobias Classic Ken Smith Burner Jaydee Supernatural Overwater Progress Marleaux Consat Spector Carvin Icon Cort Artisan ...And so on. I have one of these, a precision, a fretless jazz and an EB2D, so I don't really need anything else, but I play the double soapbar the most (and always have since starting).
