Thanks Chuck! As it turns out I sold two Fenders and my Les Paul so I may end up keeping the 5er. I got my eye on that TR-4 though. It’s a lovely bass. I get a wonderful warm buttery tone out of mine with the Nootka Cedar, I would love to hear what the swamp ash sounds with the same configuration!

I’m definitely considering another TR-4. The one in Austin is lovely. I was also thinking of having one made in the same whiteburst finish as this one

I’m not selling my membership! My main bass is a TR4. I’m just not much of a 5 string player and it’s a waste to see it just sit there.

Hey guys, I’m looking to purchase a home in the near future so it’s time to thin the herd. I figured I would give this group priority before posting an ad on reverb. Looking to sell my CP Thornton 5 string. Purchased new for $2800, very little played. Never gigged, only home use still in mint...

Hi guys, thought I would introduce myself. Just got my first Sandberg the other day. Anyone else have a custom thinline here?

That white is stunning!

He has a deal with Carbon/Kiesel which is unfortunate. They gave him a horrible signature model

I considered buying that bass, but opted for the tiger ash instead!

I am blessed to say that I have two of chucks basses! My other is a five string.

@Nightman i was reading up this morning on sort of the “history” of fretless and the article menchoned that when Jaco pulled his frets, he coated the neck in epoxy which gave it a certain tone especially in the higher register. I don’t recall seeing any of his basses look to have a coated neck...

Yes I do. One of my favorite fretless songs is “all American alien boy” because the groove doesn’t sound fretless. I’ve listened to players like Jason Everett and it’s just not my cup of tea. So the neck is extremely straightforward. Simply remove the strings from the headstock, unbolt the neck...

I almost passed on the fretless neck, but I decided to get it and I installed it this morning for kicks. The tone that comes out of this bass without frets is absolutely crazy. It’s staying this way! I had an old fender fretless I didn’t care for but for some reason with this bass-it’s a blast...

The security K9 is one of the sweetest boxers you will ever meet!!! Hahaha

I didnt want to be disrespectful and left my phone in the car during the visit. So no pictures sadly

So here she is! I also posted pics of that fretless neck because, yes, I got that too! It was a wonderful visit. I brought up some locally made wine and his wife made some scallops in the half shell. @Nightman as far as development goes, he had some absolutely beautiful guitars and basses...

I don’t know about the leather gig bags, but this bass has an optional fretless neck available and I’m contemplating that!

I’m picking up this beautiful bass on Saturday!

What would you recommend for strings???

i sent in what I felt was a good offer on eBay and scored a Peavey Cirrus 6. According to the description the bass is older, but still brand new as it was acquired from a liquidation of a store that went out of business. It was on the rack, but never sold and barely ever played. I looked at...

I’m well aware of this. But as I stated I wasn’t comfortable with the settings being maxed out and was wondering if anyone had experience with a different bridge having more play. I never said they were bad bridges, or that I wasn’t replacing them or that they couldn’t intonate.

I probably should have elaborated. I’m not replacing the bridges on any of my basses, I’m looking to build one

i currently own 2 5-strings and one six string that have hipshot bridges. I noticed on all of them the b-saddle is maxed out (as far back as possible) and on the six the c is about as far forward as possible. While it’s a fantastic bridge it seems there isn’t much room for adjustment on the b...

I had to take a pic. Sorry guys I have the best looking one in my opinion!

I appreciate the compliment chuck! The project definitely gives me more appreciation for builders like you who do flawless work!

Hi guys! I got my Squier Bass VI yesterday. I want to love it but to be honest it plays like poopie and needs some love...I’m ordering heavier strings but she’s got intonation and string buzz issues. I want to replace the bridge but I saw that staytrem won’t sell their bridges in the US anymore...

It’s always worth the wait chuck!

Yeah I thought it was weird how a brand new bass had a dead battery. It definitely sounded like something was shorted out or not wired quite right inside this thing

I’m aware this is an older thread but figured I would add to anyone looking into this issue further. I just purchased an A4 Fretted yesterday. I was totally in the dark about how the electronics worked on this bass, and was somewhat disheartened they didn’t include some sort of owners manual to...

I’ve always thought the coronado’s were really cool guitars/basses. I’ve seen some cool vintage ones on reverb. Anyone have one on here? Thoughts?

I just picked up an EB-3 missing the dial plate. Interested in one of your replicas! How do I get one?

i love cherry burst finishes but that white blonde finish chuck does is amazing. Most pics don’t do it justice. Of course I’m biased and think I have the most beautiful Thornton bass but I think we all think the same thing! I love variety and having basses all different finishes and colors and...

I have a ‘79 Fender Bassman Ten. That is all lol! I have a Line 6 POD that has a few bass effects in case I want a Motörhead overdriven effect but rarely use it. When the neighbors are home I use my fender rumble amp. I’m still in the process of learning so I plug my iPad into the auxiliary...

I have a 2000 hot rodded American standard o bass which is pretty much just a p bass with a j bass bridge pickup. Still has a p bass neck and my jazz bass has a modified c neck which is...ok. But this vintage jazz neck is awesome!

So I noticed one of these at a local guitar center and I really noticed the color. Fast forward a few months I saw one of these at another guitar center, but played it and was blown away at how comfortable this bass was. I have many different kinds of basses but this one just spoke to me...

I kept it as a strat for now

And a stop at kittery trading post along the way :)

It really depends on you. Sometimes old dead strings sound great for a vintage sound. If you like a really bright string sound then change them when they start to sound old like a guitar. They will last a while so I would say if you’re a neat freak about your basses-change them when your...

Chuck I’m curious what do you use for strings? I usually use Dunlop Austin web rights but I love the sound of the strings on this bass already!

I love the Pau Ferro fretboards. Reminds me of chocolate every time I play!

Dammit now I have to buy ANOTHER bass!!!
