I think I'm gonna nix that idea. Not worth the effort I think. I'd rather trade or sell to get a lined one. Plus, it would tie up Carl when he could be filling LOG member orders!

thoughtful of you Xavier!!!! thanks

 

[basspraiser]

doin' my part to get us to the double deuce....

you realize that that is 22,000 posts????? wow!!!! Maybe TB owes the LOG some free advertising..... (wink wink)

not "winny" like a horse...whiney.....whining.....you know....oh forget it!!!

I considered "whiny", but I couldn't imagine that being a good tone!

Also, what the heck is BBLOG?

 

[MarkusBass]

yeh babaaaaay!!!!

So excited to have a fretless again!

 

[MarkusBass]

A what? Dang, I need a Rosetta Stone for you and Markus!

It's a very "special" club!

 

[MarkusBass]

Going to the studio Thursday night for a friend's solo project (singer/songwriter) - taking the DJ4 and my Dingwall! I hope the studio has some nice DIs and toys to play with.

On a side note, I setup both 4-94 fretless and DJ4 to Laklands factory specs. The 4-94 fretless actually has a tiny bit of back bow and I have the action as low as you can go. It's instant mwuahhhh. The DJ4 needed some forward bow and the saddles had to go up. Thanks Sam Ash.

Is that how they set them up at Lakland? With some back bow?

 

[blondmix3]

Yes...or embrace it with white pearl.

Agreed.

 

[blondmix3]

I'm seeing them in September, too... still miffed that Muse isn't opening the Chi-town shows....

Awwwww, you're so thoughtful!

Not sure. Mattyg suggested it to me referring to a conversation he had with Carl and Dan. On my 4-94, the fingerboard was flat to start with, I dropped it a tiny bit more and lowered the saddles. When I checked the relief with a straight edge, as Carl suggests, it actually rocked back and forth over the "6th" fret: back bow.

Interesting! I'll going to call Carl and see if he suggests it for my fretless! Make sense!

didn't that come up in the q&a session at the GTG?

 

[mattygbass]

very slight amount of backbow will give you tons of mwah, too much and your strings wont vibrate.

 

[mattygbass]

hehehehehe.

i asked carl during the Q&A, so it is on the video. i talked to him a little more about it after.

 

[denchiq]

you ruined it!!!!!

As I said previously...the place is GREAT!

oh, I said nothing about the alibi machine... the trap door... the way to make James bond's sig. cocktail... Lots of other things actually!

 

[denchiq]

the "new" neck will have a different serial number - UNLESS he gets lines put on the same neck....which I am not sure they can/will do....BTW - putting the wood lines in ins a long, laboreous process....I asked Carl about it once.....I would not have the patience!!!

according to what I remember, the new neck would have the same SN but a "replacement" mark.

There is a 1/32" at the nut and at the end of the neck when set the straightedge on my 4-94 ebony board. Very slight back bow indeed.

I usually give my basses a lady's name. There's been Tracy (JO26), Anya (Fretless JO), and Ivy (Glaub).

[denchiq]

I agree, the DJ is at its best raw--no preamp needed! Glad it's working out for you.

that with aeros? lately, I've been thinking a DJ5 instead of a JO5
