Anyone have any spare flat wounds that aren’t D’Addario Chromes that they could sell me? I don’t have anything against D’Addarios- just wanted to try something else, and no one seems to have any in stock.

I'll have a look

If nothing here now , when the LaBella order arrives I will have some GHS Pressure Wound I can send you

Cheers!

What scale length is your bass?

It's a Fender P Bass

Sorted for Flats??? I’m about to see if Neville knows when these LaBellas are arriving.

Erratic weather here in Otatahi so been getting at least an hour a day just on Fretless. They certainly are a quirky thing. I have to concentrate a lot more.

A while back I purchased a heap of Aebersold Jazz Playalongs and with the Fretless Basses it’s great fun and educational.

Yep, Tony sent me some GHS flats. Instant goodness!

Here’s the bass pre-restring:

I’m still on the hunt for an interesting pickup for my pbass project. Anyone got something weird?

Is the body routed?

Is the body routed?

Yes, but I’m open to modding the body

Humbucker at Neck ?
Did you ever get the “BlackStar”

[Kev77]

I was amped about the black star but it was 500 hand shandy something by the time I could get it to nz

[foal30]

Pricey experiment?

TBird humbucker at neck
Piezo bridge
Fretless
Flatwounds
Diamond Compressor

This turned up yesterday. Gibson Non Reverse Thunderbird in Faded Pelham Blue. Great build quality. My first Thunderbird bass so feels very different to the Jazz and Precision. Smaller headstock and hipshot light tuners limit neck dive. Long reach to the first fret though!
