What they said +100

With good reason, the newest, the ACG is my 'perfect' bass. It fits me like it was made for me and it was. It just seems easier to play than anything else and sounds quite superb. I can honestly say they are all great basses. Peter

Finally the beast and the beauty. RKS 5 string and my Harlot ACG. It's amazing how writing an essay is sure to make you procrastinate.

Nearly there Warmoth/Darkstar/ACG pre and Spector Euro LX also ACG'd

Peavey T-40 and Fretless jazz with Badass II, Warmoth neck and ACG pre amp.

Half way with my 90 Thumb NT and Bass Collection

Next up a pair of Yamahas TRB4P (MkI) and my BB1500A

I've finally reached a happy number of basses. Down from 20 to 12. I thought I'd just take a break from essay writing to photo them all. First off from L to R Rickenbacker C64S 4001 Macca bass with reversed headstock and tuners. Next my CS4001 Chris Squire.

Yo! and welcome. Whereabouts in Essex? We've a few Essex folk about, although I live bleedin' miles away nowadays. Peter

Yep bassists that can do no wrong suggest to me bassists that don't upset anyone. That can be done by just doing the minumum. Me? I'd rather cause some upset, like Les Claypool. I agree that Phil Lynott wasn't a great bass player. A good front man maybe.

New to me, never heard anything negative about Mick Karn. Peter

Some great idea coming out, much appreciated. Peter

Mick Karn would be a start! Bringing a Wal into the 21st century Pedro

What do you reckon? What makes for a good fretless bass? Humbuckers/single coils, mahogany? piezo? What would you go for if you were having your dream fretless made? Suggestions on the back of a saucy postcard please. Pierre

[quote]until I noticed the E string had been wound on the opposite way.[/quote] I have one bass with reverse tuners (Ric C64S) and it confuses the hell outta me Every Bass Collection I've bought (3) has be incorrectly wound on one or two strings. Peter

Side cuttings pliers where the jaws meet are not ideal. The best cutters are one's where the jaws slide passed each other. or

Great news, Ibanez make good basses. I'd say go with the tab too but try to work with those dots occasionally as well. They give more rhythm info. No photo no bass tho

Yes the wiring looks like it took some patience to get done I'm loving the Kiwi in MoP too. A very sweet piece of work. Ped do you have the new V Bass yet? If not is it worth the move? Oh and I hope the photo wasn't taken while it was falling off its stand Peter

Immense, nice one. What next? Peter

Thanks Chris, I've rehosted the lot in another post.

I'd say go for it

This probably isn't your problem if you have a standard Fender bridge but... I've twice had odd things with my E and both times it's been because the vibrating string has been just touching the edge of the bridge. Peter
