Lol I was wondering at that myself

What is that @Sibob?

Second that, looks ace mate

Very classy looking build. Im sure Yew would be used more if it weren't for the dangerous stuff you highlighted in this thread

Hows that done then? Just glued onto the copper shielding? Having read quite a few of your threads, I doubt it'd be that simple

That intonation system looks interesting how does one adjust it? Ha! get me! adjusting intonation! The very thought...… lol

I got the Normandlanding one, now trying to work out the pleople one.

Ah yes, one of two working titles for a Pink Floyd album. I believe they chose the other one......

He must be running out of stuff to randomly stick onto his basses - this is the first time I've seen one with matching control knobs

Incredible work and result. Top darts all round

I've often wondered if this process was possible (seriously considered taking a forstner bit to the wood underneath a very weighty P basses scratchplate) so this thread is fascinating to me

Yeah I've often wondered that, he seems to have an allergy to matching parts up. Rarely have two knobs the same on any given guitar, nor pick ups. I'm surprised he doesn't do the same with the strings

...I cant seem to find the right size. I have a Fender Deluxe Precision Special which I use for my day to day frivolities and general musical gallivanting. I'm looking to change the hardware over to black for no more reason than I'm a bit of a tart tbh I've ordered 3 lots of replacement knobs from a well known auction site, but they're all to small to go over the pot shafts. The bass has 3 regular pots and one stacked, also a tiny little two way toggle switch. The shafts in question appear to be 5.5 - 6mm diameter across, anyone know where one might be able to source a more errrmmm….. girthy knob? Or four?

Paid £200 for mine....

Just received a bass from JohnR, ruthlessly packaged, the courier stood no chance - Mwahaha!!! etc Many thanks to John, to all else, deal with confidence

One of my fave basses is a £100 J&D jazz that I bought coz I like the colour, gets picked up more often than counterparts that are five times the price

Mind BLOWN! But id still buy the bass probably

Having waited for several years for IMO the most beautiful bass ever made to come up for sale, and not being sure it ever would TBH, then finding I had no money when it actually did and letting it slide for ages, only to finally end up with it my hands, Id say keep it. Its gorgeous, as an objet d'art its worth it surely

The reason my beloved TE GP12SMX had to go, and I was in my twenties at the time

Lovely! How much? Where from?

Combinata bass VII? Look more like a IV to me

Don't forget wiring holes/routes!
