  1. Time for me to sell the (wife's) car I think.
  2. Sorry Mr. Bass, I'm not great at explaining myself. OK, wanted fretbuzz, is when I pluck an open string, let it vibrate and eventually it will give off a little buzz on the open string. There is no fretbuzz at the dusty end, but if I lower the action any more, the notes choke. The action is a little bit higher than I like between about the 7th and 14th frets. I'm going to shim it tomorrow night, after my mother has gone back home, and see what the result is.. Cheers, Karl.
  3. Because the curve up at the dusty end is preventing me getting the action lower between 5th/14th frets.
  4. [quote name='GrammeFriday' timestamp='1396115700' post='2410124'] Many thanks, Karl - I know that many of us on this forum regard your sale ads as the gold standard, so it is very pleasing to receive the Master's seal of approval! [/quote] My dragon contacted you to say this didn't she! To point out that I'm a feckless gear tart! Well, I've got news for her. I KNOW! Seriously though, your ad was great, the bass is great, the price was excellent. A winning combination, brilliantly done. Congrats and enjoy the next one (just keep it longer than I keep any of mine . Karl. Edit. Oh, and my photos are always crap, you may be requested to consider a retainer!
  5. Thanks folks, limited access to computer, mother here on Royal visit . No unwanted fret buzz. I set mine up like Sheehan. Pluck the string, let it vibrate and after a second or so, a tiny bit of buzz comes in. String height brought to note "choking" points, then raised a tiny bit. Neck relief, minimal, no more than 1/64th. I think I'm being a bit of a tart here to be honest. The best Precision I have ever had, is the one I got from you Mel. As you know the action is lower than a snake's belly. Yet even with that one, the fretboard is slightly inclined to the sky at the dusty end. Bugger it, when me Ma goes I'm just gonna shim it. It's not that it's bad, far from it, I just like a very low action. Bassists eh
  6. Hell's bells, what a fabulous price
  7. Another zombie thread resurrection. My red P sort of curves up at the dusty end. There is a little relief in the neck but don't ask for measurements, my eyes will tell you to bog off If I shim it, I just can't get to grips with HOW this will make the fret board flat. Mr Red's fabulous diags don't have any with a fretboard that fractionally curves upwards at the high notes end. It is not the only Fender I have seen this on, so any advice gratefully appreciated, ta, Karl.
  8. Excellent bass. If one may make so bold, EXCELLENT advert. Unlike some of the "Fender for sale, pm me", can't be arsed adverts for £1600+ Custom Shops. Well done that man, as you were. GLWTS.
  9. Fabulous Edit, would you take next door's first born, she's just over 20? Sorry, haven't got one of my own. GLWTT
  10. Scam Dunc. Bugger, no point putting me hat up for sale now
  11. Billy often contributes [url="https://www.facebook.com/groups/294500090592/"]0 YAMAHA Attitude Ltd.[/url]
  12. Fairly sure this sold on FEEBay several months ago. Karlfer is always desperate for pretty new toys because he is a feeble minded, weak willed gear whore
  13. That price is insanity for a superb bass guitar! [url="http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_guitars_detail.asp?stock=13091711335988&gclid=CJ69-Of_sr0CFUTMtAodpiwA5g"]Gibson Explorer Bass Silverburst[/url]
  14. Spacey is your man for info.
  15. Took me about 15 or so gigs before I understood mine, but it's simply a superb cab.
  16. Great band, loved them as a child. You realise you are responsible for me watching Dirty Dirty Creep Creep after that! She was certainly the object of this 12 year old's desire
  17. Read some of the reviews from owners. In a nutshell QC was really good, the versions that had been brought out from 96 onwards had had issues sorted out and honed. Materials used were of high quality, as was finish. But more than the sum of the parts just generally so damn playable. Certainly, every one I have used/owned from that period was excellent. As good as post 2008 IMO.
  18. Was this not Burgundy Mist a few hours ago With the greatest of respect, if you want people to part with £1750 you really need to put the effort in with a good number of decent photographs. Good luck, Karl.
  19. [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1395640694' post='2404551'] Bump for a great guy and a great bass! [/quote] Cheers Tom [quote name='monsterbassman' timestamp='1395779134' post='2406266'] pm [/quote] [quote name='monsterbassman' timestamp='1395839417' post='2406895'] pm [/quote] Both pm's replied thanks. And the other 4 as well, lot of interest now, favourite being highwayone but nothing definite yet.
  20. [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1395819942' post='2406581'] Surely a translation makes something easier to understand? [/quote] What, it makes more sense in Mandarin?
  21. GK MB500 into BF Super 12 V. As a starting point I use contour 12 o'clock, treble and high mid, cut at 10 o'clock, low mid and bass, cut at 11 o'clock. Then I set for room. I have had a year with this rig to come to this starting point. A few frustrations in that year
  22. [quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1395698161' post='2405331'] ha ha my thoughts exactly, lovely tho innit?. I'll stick with me markbass for now [/quote] [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1395736260' post='2405547'] I've played venues that are smaller than that rig ... [/quote]
  23. [quote name='Clarky72' timestamp='1395654398' post='2404641'] If it helps Karl I can remove a string for you mate? ;-) [/quote]
