All Activity

It is a really good fit and possible to get the thing cut so that the grille is centred nicely. I made a picture frame, screwed the grille to that and used velcro to fix that to the cab. I did cut the plastic covering strip to fit the edges but decided it looked better plain and I deburred the edges with a bench grinder. If I did it again I'd probably fold the edges and trim them down to 10mm. I practiced this with off-cuts and it was easier than I thought, clamping the metal between two bits of timber and beating it down. Folding it this way stiffened up the structure really nicely.

Looks ace! All the very best for your new venture.

The Brotherhood of Mad

The "new" ones are very good as well. The older ones with the Fender headstock are even better but mine has a neck to die for. Great bass.

those fret ends must be finished like that before installaion, otherwise how could it be done I think I'd be tempted to roll the fingerboard edges too

On the fun side, yes, of course.

Killer On The Loose - Thin Lizzy

ABBL

Killer Queen - Queen

I'd be disappointed and send it back. Why would they apply such mismatching pieces together on one bass... If you can't do it right, don't do fancy tops.

I’d send it back and maybe buy from somewhere else? It is clear that the dealer is also happy to send out substandard basses and not doing any QC themselves. in my conspiracy theory head, could the dealer be buying up seconds and passing them off as full price instruments?

She's A Killer - Alien Sex Fiend

My band's first album released last May. Second one is in the works.

I guess Macca would be a an obvious candidate if he were interested in a sideline business venture. He’s shrewd, so maybe not.

sad news indeed. hopefully someone will step in and save them

Die Alone - Eminem

Exactly the reason for my path in the industry, it’s much more pleasant working with seasoned pros in general. It also pays MUCH better. it depends very much on the level of sound techs and engineers you are working with.

Wither Without You - U2

Surprised noone has mentioned The Bongolian yet
