    I have one two of the above in good condition. I'd like £23 the pair posted, or £13.50 each.

    Home is just south of Farnham. Work in Portsmouth.

    I don't think they're making flats since the buyout are they?

    If you play a bass that has a thru-body bridge, what is the best way to minimise the string twisting when it's fitted? For a top loaded bridge I have always strung the bass up and then just released the tension and allowed the string to resettle, but you can't do that on a thru-body bridge. Any tips, BC collective?

    I've heard Markbass cabs used in a rock setting many a time and they always sound great. The 2x12 should be plenty loud enough.

    Don't forget nylon flats. La Bella's standard gauge nylon flats are pretty meaty, but the tension of pretty low (lower than their LTF) and they sound fab.

    Yep, totally get that, but surely some are smoother/quieter than others? They are normally roundwound strings clad in a nylon flatwound tape. I love them on my fretless, but I want something with a litle more tension hence the question about rounds.

    Hello all Who makes the quietest nickel roundwound strings? I want to try rounds on my fretless again but like as little to no noise when I slide as possible! Oh and they need to be available in extra long scale (i.e. at least 38" ball to silk). Thanks all Gareth

    I may be able to box it up. Let me see what I can do.
  18. franzbassist
    Two from me.

    Is it lined? If so, much easier to do than unlined.

    Combo deal: Buy both this and the Little Marcus 800 amp I am selling to create a super articulate and powerful mini rig for £900 collected.
  21. franzbassist
    I would love this. If only some of my stuff would sell!

    Hi Chris! Yes, I agree. Having played it some more I’m still getting a hint of buzz, so I reckon you’re right. Going to recommend the guy has a pro look at it to be sure. It’s playing clean enough, but it could be better!
  23. franzbassist
    The golden age of Smith basses, and that is a lovely example.
  24. franzbassist
    It's an unlined board, but I think I've found the problem: nut cut too low in combination with near flat fingerboard!

    Hello all I'm setting up a fretless bass for a friend and I have it playing really nicely apart from one spot. When I "fret" at the 9th fret of the D string I get a buzz. It's the only note on the whole bass where this happens and I can't shift it. I've checked all hardware is tight, tried a different set of strings, higher and lower actions, and varied the relief, but it's always there. The only thing I can think is that there's a high point on the neck behind where I'm fretting, as if I touch the string behind where I'm fretting (i.e. towards the nut) it goes away. But can it be really so localised that it will affect just this one spot? Any thoughts most welcome! Gareth
