And boy is it about perfect. I was trying to do it myself, but I got to the point where I was making things worse. I went to a guy that Mobay45 and Ray Duke suggested, and it came back perfect. He also said he really dug the bass himself. Setup with TI Jazz Rounds and it sings. After a month and a half I am still experimenting with the preamp trying to find my favorite settings. However, its almost impossible to find a bad sound. :)
 
I do bleeb I've heard good things about that guy.

So what were you dealing with? Fret buzz?



the I make leetul yoke thar,

Nice!

Mine just required a teeny tweak of the wheel - I've been loving it, going through every song in my active set on fretless.

Thank heavens for the side markers! :D
 
The D and E on the A string were buzzing a little bit and creating a harsh sound. The way it was setup was really asking a lot. The action was just incredibly low. Rob said it was a tribute to the bass that it was as playable as it was with that kinda action.
