Very good points. I am still going ahead with the project 👍

problem with building a "cheap" pedal board is that you still need to get a power supply, cables, and preferrably something to mount them on and a case. Alll the boring bits of a pedal board quickly add up. That's why, IME, a multifx is far more suitable for people who either only need a simple setup or who dont require a specific set of sounds that certain standalone pedals offer.

Because Letts was kicked out of the UK for being a gigantic Jabroni?

All joking aside I’m really not sure how a gramma makes is better for the neighbours, just use EQ and volume?

Thanks for the reminder. That was hilarious. Peely, bless him, was pretty much tone deaf. Couldn't carry a tune to save his life.

Well all I can say is be glad you didn’t opt fir the Drophead 😆

There is no harm in asking. It's a matter of how much of your time you want to spend pursuing it. If he doesn't respond favourably then at least you've tried. It's probably not worth twenty knicker to make a bigger thing out of it. Depends on how hungry the kids are, I suppose. One thing is certain. You can't give it back for a refund. It was your choice to go ahead with the project having asked for advice about it here. I don't think I'd waste time other than to mark the seller's card in some fashion. That way you know to be cautious if he crops up again with something you like.

Alibackers... I commissioned this, my design mixing the normal ric-ish 4001/3 with the 4004 Lemmy-alike as i likes a No Pickguard rear route, from a vendor on Aliexpress. A cut and paste computer job mock-up was done whilst layed up with a broken ankle, and sent to a couple of vendors.. But Ali's are 34" Scale length Thick Body, Neck raked back - think Les Paul Which was the biggest issue as it meant a BIG elevation at the bridge, The cheap ric-fake bridge overhung the body in order to intonate! It's still work in progress with a Hipshot Ric Bridge to be tried, but thats gonna need a spacer. Landed at about £250ish no inport/customs fees. If i were you - I wouldn't... The Bad outweighs any Good... How i would love a Cheyenne

i've played one from ali and it was brilliant mate so can't exactly judge it before you try, respect to all those manufacturers honestly they on the grind and they'll make anything custom you want

It was me!!! I BUILT IT! And I'd do it again to! Dang those meddling kids for ruining my plan...

ebs multicomp 👍

It's like the advert that's on at the moment where a young kid is playing a strat, then jumps on a pedal. The guitar sounds exactly the same. So he jumps on it again... and it still sounds the same. Just looked it up... EDF advert Edit: apparently he can actually play a guitar though

lead 👍

But, when they're completely skew-whiff it is indicative of a lack of attention to detail from the builder.

yeah can 👍

The relationship of the strings to the poles on the pickups is utterly irrelevant to the sound.

I haven't played the Vintera VI, but having played the Vintera Precision it wasn't drastically better than the equivalent Squier. I have a Squier VI and it is wonderful.

The damage is now fully repaired on the body, but looking for your opinions I have asked for a partial refund to cover the additional materials, this would be say £20 for glue, brush and a new clamp Given that the bass was sold as damaged, but all descriptions and photos focussed around the headstock - do I have a leg to stand on here? Genuinely curious! Fwiw I have been selling on eBay for over 20 years and have always tried to be protective of my feedback rating even if that means the occasional golden handshake

Seriously? A friend of mine ordered a "Bongo" from Ali Express. It looked ok from 20 feet away if you had your eyes closed. Electronically it was an absolute nightmare. As @police squad said, Rickenfakers on Facebook is the best place to start. The only "legal" copies available like HB or Rockinbetter are vaguely similar in appearances but that's it.
