    I have had the pleasure of hearing @Merton play this live and it sounds very nice indeed. Also he's a throughly decent chap, so there's two great reasons to consider this.

    I was given one of those and I was stretchered out. Unbeknownst to me I had a very low heart rate and a beta blocker put me into “not sure how you’re still alive” territory

    The only way to find out whether a business will work is to try it. It wouldn't cost a lot to place a few ad's, play one of your creations in public to attract attention, etc. Whether offering Fender clones to an already crowded market would work is debatable. There are dozens of firms doing the same and they are going to be able to undercut a one man band via economies of scale, manufacturing in low wage economies, etc. Even at the budget end of things, because Fenders and similar bolt together with around 50 screws, players will often make their own Bitsas (I and many on here have). It's easy enough to buy bodies and necks from firms like Warmoth (or cheaper Chinese stuff), chuck in a pickup or two and pots and make a few solder connections. Buyers looking for higher priced instruments will tend to buy US or even Custom Shop Fenders, because they can be more certain they will retain residual value. No harm in trying, though. If you build to order, you won't have to buy a load of parts and components on spec.

    There are two types of gold plating, hard and soft. The hard type uses alloying metals and underplating to achieve high wear resistance. Neutrik use hard plating on at least some of their jack connectors.

    FOR SALE Aguilar Grape Phaser v2 in perfect, as new condition - £150 inc. UK Mainland delivery. Velcro underneath, but this can be easily removed if needed. Here's the blurb from the Aguilar site: The Grape Phaser provides lush, analog phase shifting courtesy of a simple, two-knob layout. From flowing, liquid tones to fat, funky ones, this simple phaser has a wide range of usable sounds in it. Fantastic for all styles of playing, especially soloing, fretless, and slap. RATE controls the speed of the modulation while COLOR feeds a portion of the signal back through the phase shifting circuit, creating new and super funky bass sounds! *Pedal powered by universal 9-volt power supply only. Not included. 'Rate' controls speed of modulation 'Color" feeds a portion of signal back through the phase circuit, creating new and unique tones Pedal powered by universal 9-volt power supply only. Not included. Price includes UK Mainland delivery. Thanks for looking, Ian

    It is called flash gold (plating). The thickness is in the scale of micrometres, sure it will wear out in active use. Gold is so soft, all materials around it are harder.

    Again you make the building process look like it was easy. All details are thought through, like fret ends! Can you give an approximate building time of this beauty? If this was the fifth bass this year, how many are you planning to do by the end of 2025?

    Yeah, yeah. Sure. ...

    Having some interweb issues at home so not managed to post this pic til now… You can see how snug it is due to the handles but then I used one of the dividers from the Trace bag, then popped in the foot switch (as you can see), and also now the foot switch cable, a mains lead, my Elf, and a speaker cable for each amp. Handy!

    The FrankenJazz - Geddy Lee Jazz body, Status neck, Audere Jazz pre, Hipshot d-tuner/extender Line6 HX Effects - I was going to sell this but have started using instead of the bigger pedalboard where space is limited. Rochester compressor always on, a couple of synthy patches, flanger, chorus and a switch for a 6db boost that I managed too step on instead of the chorus at one point 🤦‍♂️ Darkglass Microtubes 500 Barefaced BB2 with the horn at about 50% and stood on the amp case Most of it hiding behind me and our youngest ‘fan’, one of our drummer’s granddaughters
