    I am honestly considering having that logo sanded off and adding a Sadowsky decal. The story of why the Sadowsky name isn't on the headstock as such (but as part of the RSD brand) is clear and easy, but still, yes, that logo is awful.

    Did you ever change the decal? I have picked one up and hate the look of the headstock... wondered if there were decals out there yet?

     

    I see the new versions have a metro express decal...

    I had a factory lined fretless Deluxe in the same see thru red. Only sold it as part of a cull when I relocated 250 miles south. Fantastic basses these Deluxes (and the Elites)

    and this fretless conversion of yours looks very clean. Excellent job! 

    GLWTS! 

     


    thanks for the positive comments - it was a labour of love for someone who has a tendency to cut corners! 
    I was well chuffed with the end result - I just am hankering after an unlined board…

  3. I am moving on my Overwater Aspiration Deluxe (the Tanglewood manufactured ones) 5 string fretless in Trans red.

     

    It's in lovely condition, no marks or dings and comes with a soft gig bag. Postage available to be paid by buyer.

     

    I got this bass as I wanted a 5 string fretless with an aim to convert it to fretless - I was aiming for an unlined look but it didn't quite end up that way. You can see the defret process here:

     

     

    Anyway... the defret process was done very carefully and slots were filled with rosewood veneer, sanded and oiled - it plays really nicely. The only reason I am looking to sell is because an unlined 5 string fretless has come up for sale near me and GAS has taken over!

    These are great basses and look the part - build quality is excellent. There are loads of posts about these and many people comment about how great these are - I just want an unlined fretless.

    If the one I am after sells I will likely withdraw it from sale.

     

    Pop me any questions.

  4. Hi everyone… 

    im in the market for a multi effects unit.

    i want something as a front end for my QSC 12.2 FRFR. I’m not big into effects - I basically want a good DI, some good amp sims, chorus, octaver - I’m not a ‘dirt’ man… but what I’m really after is a good synth modeller. I have a boss SYB-5 which is ok (I do a lot of function 80s stuff) so a good synth engine is quite important to me.

    i do like the boss, but one unit rather that separate pedals suits me more. I did have a line 6 pod go which was ok… not great for synths but ok… same engine as the helix so I don’t think a stomp is the way I should go.

    i did watch a video of someone blistering their way through ‘Like a Prayer’ using a zoom B3 and it sounded great. Exactly the kind of thing I am after… 

    will the b6 do this? Can anyone share some sound samples at all? I can’t find much online - it’s mainly standard demos…

    I would be happy with the chorus octaver stuff I reckon… I’m just after a good synth bass!

  5. As new Tech 21 Bass Flyrig V1. Great little box of tricks with the classic Sansamp built in alongside a tuner, compressor, chorus and octofilter.

     

    Excellent condition - I have bought myself a synth bass pedal and need something with an FX loop so I can balance out wet and dry signals. Any trades would be looked at if you have something...

    The tuners are the key. Large plate = US parts. Small plate = Japanese. I believe the US pickup is made in Japan but to the US spec.

     

    Get a PB70US and you'll have everything you want, from what you've said. 

     

    Get a picture of the back of the headstock. 


    will do… thanks for all the advice! I may come back hopefully with some pics from a NBD!

    They have a good stock but they do seem be quite pricey.

     

    I believe (and I said it elsewhere and can't remember if I was corrected), but the US ones have large back plate tuners, whereas the non-US ones have the smaller back plate version. The one shown here has the large plate tuners. They're what I use as a gauge.

     

     

    Can you elaborate?? A comparison?

     

    I did see Fender Fever on ebay… I might give them a call and see if there is wiggle room on the price as they do seem quite pricey…
