    Surprised Master Luthier/Setter-uperer/bodge master/tosser M D Phillips hasn't already pounced on this. Beeswax it up, re cut the nut, alleviate the concavity of the neck and then flog it at £30,000?????

    First thing I do in the morning is grab my coffee and read all the MDP threads, I then spend the day inanely chuckling as remember little snippets! No matter how much of a tw*t he is, he's damn entertaining! Even if it is unintentional !!! Right I'm off to file the nut off the kids £10 Toys R Us guitars, give the necks some concavity, slap some beeswax on them then stick em on the bay for £700 each. They are just like the ones Eric Claptons nephews, next door neighbours mate might have played. Dr H Shipman (deceased)

    Does anyone remember a guy from eBay a while back called Dave who went under a name like Harley Benton guitars or some such? Well he used to do basses up and flog them but they were really good. He made me a jaco copy years ago, defretted neck, beautifully filled in, great neck, real pleasure to play and still gets good comments now! Cost? £125.!!!!! I can't believe this M D Phillips guy gets away with the money he charges for utter sh*te! Forget my previous "cock" comment.....he's an utter ****! Can't we all pay him a "visit" en mass ?!!' )

    So.....looking at his "strat" replica.... [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]"The jack socket only worked intermittently, but it needed me to increase the internal routing and find a shorter socket plate screw because it was coming through and poking the tip of the jack plug."......so you basically put a smaller screw in???????[/size][/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]"I polished all the fret-wires with wire wool, and re cut the zero fret nut grooves to give light easy chord playing in the first few frets.[/size][/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]The truss rod operated well, and with that and some bridge adjustment it I have optimised the playing action.".......What??? so you can't play chords after the 5th fret?, ah well he's optimised the playing action so thats ok![/size][/font] [font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]What an utter cock.[/size][/font]

    He MUST be aware of the basschat community's discussions of him?! We should hijack every one of his eBay adds with a link to these threads !!!!!!! He still looks like Peter Sutcliffe !
  11. the hand of john curley

  12. the hand of john curley
    Yeah but I bet he didn't Lower the action to recut the original nut to Then re set the action thus not having the nut re cut and the neck straightened due to a curvature similar to that of earth seen from space hols dancing the fandango and charging 10x the original cost....eh...eh...did he ??? Well ...DID HE? I need a lay down .

    Holy mother of God.........lost for words!!!!!!

    Howdo! Right-don't want to do this but looks like needs must........Bloody rubbish :-( [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Traded this from Nibody in May - its a beauty. It has the VM '77 neck on it with the Pearl block inlays and white binding and the VM '70's natural body so it doesnt look as "OTT" as the standard VM 70's. Also has an ebony thumbrest fitted. [/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Sounds brilliant -as these do- and plays like a dream, very smooth neck.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Looking for £190 plus shipping. I wont ship outside of the UK im afraid. Collection possible (2 mins from Jct 21 of M1) or would be prepared to me as long as it's not too far![/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]As I said, this is a reluctant sale and if I can get away without needing the dosh then i'll withdraw the add, but for now it's up for grabs.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Any questions (other than the migratory pattern of swallows, or anything to do with algorithms) please ask![/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I thank you.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Cheers[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Matt[/font][/size]
