Yeah very nice basses. If I ever come across one with a maple board I may not be able to resist. Expensive, but similar to other used high-end basses, I guess Musicman basses are in the boutique realm these days price-wise. I wonder how it compares to something like a Vincent Akkurat, those are almost the same price but brand new, and you can choose from a bunch of colours and options.

Every time I've preodered something I've seen this happen, definitely learned my lesson there! Could be a pattern though, as the last time it was Thomann and the Quad Cortex, I ended up cancelling and buying from Andertons instead.

As @Steve Browning has been kind enough to follow us, it would be rude of me not to offer you all the opportunity to do likewise!😁 http://www.facebook.com/OtisJayBB

Beat me to it.

The guitar looks like a Vox Super Ace https://www.vintageguitarandbass.com/vox/1963_Super_Ace.php

Same knobs too.

Well done guys.Question answered. PS What about that 6 string? The headstock seems a bit squiffy.Same stable?

I can tell you're impressing no one with that behaviour

I want someone to buy one of these for me!

Have to agree with you about Sadowsky strings. Until recently I had original Blue label flats on my Metro HPJ for the last 10 years. They have just been replaced with the newer formulation Blue label. I have also put the latest Blue labels on my MM USA Sterling. When funds allow I shall get a set for my '71 Jazz. Very happy with them.

I'd say that a significant factor is how much cash you'd have to invest to tool up for the job. If you already have premises and tools then I'd say go for it, you've little to lose. If you have to buy substantial tooling and rent a workshop then you'd have to be pretty sure you've got a customer base. If you have to borrow for the above you need to be absolutely sure it makes business sense. Just prior to covid striking I was in the process of setting up a reclaimed furniture business. I'd managed to make and sell a few small pieces but, in my case, covid did me a favour and gave me breathing space before I'd invested significant money into the venture . It became apparent that I wouldnt be competitive making pieces on spec to attempt to sell. Etsy etc showed that as a cottage industry I couldnt manufacture at a low enough cost to compete with factory line production and I struggled to make contacts for bespoke pieces so, in my case, it was a non starter. That said, if you think theres a market for a unique style and you can be competitive go for it

Bought a Kong Beer Fuzz pedal from Ordep. It was posted promptly, was well packaged and arrived in great condition. Would definitely deal again. Thanks!

I think there’s a few AI tools will do that?

And here it is!

Music Man Caprices are one of those mythical instruments we all know about, have heard and desire. Their relative scarcity has kept prices very high, sadly. They're like Unicorns in the mist and people seem to hang onto them for dear life.
