Just learned abot his blue BB ...BBG5s, Also the white one. With Bastec and Delano pu's. 

 

He says---bass is 250 Euros but perfect for him..

Well it looks great, sound fantastic in his hands and doesn't cost the Earth.

STOP!!!

 

I've tried fretless many times and never mastered it...when I read threads like this I'm tempted to try again...I HATE YOU ALL!!!

Lol! I've always been the same, not patient enough to put the time in with fretless, so always ended up selling them. I am having very large fretless Gas at the moment though.

In which case, Lee, you should seriously consider the Ibby SR Portamento... 😁

I'd love to Bas,unfortunately my budget doesn't run to that at the moment, I'd love to try the Ibanez SRH500F too.

I just ordered gold hardware for my candy apple red BB1000MA. I think it will look orgasmic 😛 

 

So exactly how does "orgasmic" look then? Just asking for a friend...and they are particularly interested in whether it differs between the UK and Germany?

My BBP  presents a white “dust” (I don’t know how to describe) surrounding the frets, As you can see.

From the pics I’ve seen on line it should be ok but better have a check.

what do you think? Tbh it’s not so pleasant to see

You have dust at the dusty end of your bass?

Possibly residual compound in the grain from a fret polish?

 

buy a cheap toothbrush and some mineral oil (or lemon oil) and apply liberally - then scrub gently with toothbrush and wipe away with a microfibre Cloth.

 

magic.
