So I had to engage in a glue fight to get the fingerboard glued on ... hide glue everywhere including my bench, the floor, my hand towel, countless rags to clean up squeeze out ... er and my eyebrows! So from this ... to this ... A couple of hours on the bass before work today - went in for 7.00 as I wanted peace and quiet to do the glue up ... with no phone ringing! After 'gluemageddon' and a couple of hours of clamping ... Neck bolts snugged up to a pair of temporary nuts ... and technically the bass could be strung up and tested tomorrow ... but I've a few more things to do yet. The nuts are temporary as I found the stainless steel neck bolts I had bought are about 10mm too long to tighten fully ... gurrr ... more on order from Accu. I glued in the nut and started doing sone assessment of how much needs to be trimmed off the bridge feet to match them to the belly curve. not much as it goes. Looking forward to hearing its first notes in perhaps 30+ years soon. Then it'll be looking to a re finish.

Thanks Andy for our recent transaction!

Not sure if I have. How is the tension on them?

Recently met up with John for a transaction - really nice guy. Thanks!

Looks familiar 😉 Enjoy 👍

Steve recently bought my Euro 4LX. The whole transaction was quick and smooth. Cool guy. Thumbs up 👍

Last night was a spin off from the originals band. We're doing Postmodern Jukebox style stuff. Just upright bass, guitar, drums and vox, so we're arranging things differently as we haven't got the orchestration. It's good fun and was sounding great. Certain songs I need to be warmed up for, as walking bass lines on the upright can take their toll 😆

Good man. Here is some useful info by a BassChat member with extensive cabinet building experience - @Christine. Christine has not been heard from since Covid but has made great contributions to the Build Thread. Much missed. Mind your delicate bits and let us know how you get on.

Not the best audio - but this is a demo of a Lull IMA4 with his strings on it. Sounds cool for camera only audio

That’s very tough on him, best wishes to him and his family 🙏

Will bought a Mustang project bass from me, very quick payment and excellent communication. Cheers!

It has arrived.

I can see there's an oddly sinister side to you that we've not seen before. 😂 Dave

I've just received a Spector Euro I bought from Thorsten. Lovely bloke to deal with. He made the whole thing nice and easy. The bass is just amazing. I'm very happy

Just measured my 2003 MM Sterling and it's: Nut 0.87" 1st Fret 0.82" 12th Fret 0.92 15th Fret 0.95" Hope this helps
