Vixivi Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Oh, didnt notice it was a double humbucker model. Just gassing for a classic style tele. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablas Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) [quote name='blablas' timestamp='1429171945' post='2748664'] One that has been there for a long time has disappeared - the lefty acoustic bass - should be in my hands tomorrow. [/quote] And it is! There is minimal hump in the fingerboard between fret 10 and 17, in this same area there are also some high frets, there are also quiet a few sharp fret ends. Maybe the bridge nut is too low, but I can only be certain of that once I've fixed the fingerboard. In principle there are no problems I can't fix! For the rest the bass looks nice, it tunes up okay, haven't tested the electronics yet. Edited April 17, 2015 by blablas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 I wouldn't be able to fix a hump in a fretboard. How will you do this on a fretted bass? Take the frets out and then replace them later on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablas Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Exactly that. But the hump on this bass is probably small enough to be fixed with a full fret leveling and crowning job. I did a more thorough check on what is wrong and for the time being the 12th fret is the major cause of the problem, once I leveled that one I hope I know in more detail where I need to go to get this bass set up to my liking.

Annoying Twit Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Strat deko. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_st_20hss_ca_standard_s_deko.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...dard_s_deko.htm[/url] Gone already. @Blablas - you reminded me to go to the machineshop here at work and borrow a flat handle-less metal file. My most recent deko purchase was bought so that I could practice working on the frets. I'm going to try a level using the draw lines on the frets and slide a file down the neck method.

yorks5stringer Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I need to stop looking at this thread. I've just been idly wondering how I could amplify the Warwick Mini Thumb bass and use it as a tiny backup..... yes, I know it has nylon strings but it comes with a stand and mini gig bag!

Annoying Twit Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Something about Thomann's page is confusing my program, and I've had to stop it. I'll look into updating it tonight, but even more than being busy at work and home has limited how much I've had my eye on things, I can't watch for dekos at all right now until I work out what has changed. EDIT: I've worked out what was causing my program to go wild. Unfortunately it most likely isn't Thomann trying to stop people using bots to look into deco instruments.

alittlebitrobot Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 It's still there and, using the previously described method, it still says there's five of them. I doubt that. I'd say that's just an automatic thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grangur Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I got a deko PJ and found I don't really want it. So if anyone is interested drop me a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixivi Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I ordered the p bass. Hope i dont receive a mail tomorrow saying it's out of stock tho (had this with the pj-5). Thanks for sharing AT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Good luck Vixivi. Time will tell what sort of email you get. I'm still tempted by the eight string guitar. It's not in all fourths tuning, so may require new strings if the gauges are too far out. Perhaps you could negotiate for Grangur for the PJ, if it's a five on offer.

Vixivi Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'll await an order confirmation first. If they seem to be out of stock again, i'll be tempted to ask Grangur for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
