So that's what's wrong with me. I'm playing the wrong bass again. I usually like unusual Basses and Guitars. my former main bass was a Dingwall Combusion 5 string. before that a cheap used Cort B5 that has possibly the smoothest action of any bass I have owned. Still have it won't sell it...

I may be getting lucky here then. I couldn't find my regular magnifying glass so I used an ap on my phone. I really couldn't see anything out of sorts except a slight separation at the end of the rounded nose of the stripe. I'm hoping this is exactly what you are describing. I think I'm going to...

Played with the truss rod last night and it turns nicely. I don't feel any impingement there.

Soooo I gotta ask...... Did you find it???

I can't see the raise with my eyes (and my reading glasses). I can catch it with my fingernail, also when I rub parallel to the stripe it feels a little sharp. I'm going to get out a magnifying glass tonight and see if I can get a better look and figure out exactly what is going on. It would be...

I don't remember anything being off when I last adjusted the truss rod. I would like to think I would have noticed if it felt overly stiff. I think I have only adjusted the truss twice though. Once when I got it and when I put the previous set of strings on I believe about a year ago. I just put...

Thank you J-Bass RMR... I think I'm going to try that. My biggest worry was the refinish but if I can use mineral oil I'm pretty sure I can handle it.

I have an issue with my P bass where the skunk stripe on the back of the neck by the headstock feels slightly raised. It feels like it didn't quite get sanded flush after it was installed. It is raised for about 2 inches and then is smooth going up the rest of the neck. I have had the bass for...

First I figure out what I want to play and if it's not a straight forward arrangement I may chart it out. Just taking the time to write it down usually helps me remember well enough that I don't need to actually use the chart. Then I will spend as much time listening to the songs as playing...

That is too cool, what a great experience. I'm not sure I could have kept my composure playing with that pair though. I have seen Vai live play things that are... Unpossible!

When I was still a guitar player I had the good fortune to open for... Chris Cagle Eric Church David Allen Coe James Otto The Band Perry Jamey Johnson Emerson Drive Trent Tomlinson We got hooked up to play a pretty big biker event The Sandy Corley Memorial Run and played a few...

I believe there is another about when seconds count the police are only minutes away. My preference is .40 smith, 12 gauge and 45-70 depending on which room I'm in... someone's in my house uninvited I figure they are not there to make friends.

What's the quote, God made men but Sam Colt made them equal.

I'm with Lonote. I tried one and while it is kind of chunky it felt great. I liked it better than the MIM P Standard that I tried the same day.

I still own a couple others but this is the one I play. Now the only bass I GAS for is a Dingwall Afterburner II. I love the way it plays and balances, the weight is nice, I love the sound. For me it sure feels like "The One" :bassist:
