Tinman

Ladies and Gentlemen. Unfortunately, due to the lateness of my return home and the fact that it's too bloody dark to take any, there will be no artistic stylee photos today. However, I have a picture of the maestro himself stood next to some be-spectacled fat bloke, holding a work of art. More pics tomorrow. Pete

*Looks at clock, drums fingers*

[quote name='Mrs Tinman' post='82712' date='Nov 2 2007, 11:45 AM']I'm gonna hide the car keys tonight [/quote] In which case, I'll enjoy Luxor while the Police forensic team is digging up the back garden.

[quote name='eude' post='82703' date='Nov 2 2007, 11:34 AM']Great news bud, can't wait to see this one! Reckon you'll get any sleep tonight? Eude[/quote] Doubt it! I'm as excited as a 4 year old at Christmas. Haha :wacko:

[quote name='OldGit' post='82697' date='Nov 2 2007, 11:18 AM']A little bird tells me your bass is finished Mine, however, is not [/quote] WoooooooooooooooHooooooooooooooooo Sorry to hear about yours mate.

[quote name='Johngh' post='82203' date='Nov 1 2007, 12:30 PM']Pete, looks brilliant mate, its going to be a worthy member of the Shukerlele family. Can't wait to see it finished. [/quote] You and me both! The photos have only served to tease the hell out of me. It will be well worth it in the end though, can't wait to see it all together,looking forward to seeing what the back looks like with it's matching cavity covers. It's been an excruciating wait but no complaints what so ever when it looks like that.

[quote name='Bassmonster' post='82179' date='Nov 1 2007, 11:35 AM']gawd pete that does look mighty fine![/quote] Thanks mate. Spoke to Jon yesterday and even he, in his understated way, said it looked lovely now it's polished up. The next two days are going to go so slow!

[quote name='OldGit' post='81791' date='Oct 31 2007, 04:15 PM']Which Saturday? [/quote] Boom tish

Did I tell anyone yet? Mine will be ready on Saturday

[quote name='OldGit' post='81418' date='Oct 30 2007, 07:03 PM']Clean the drool off before you photograph it [/quote] Mmmmmmmmmmm that may be a problem. It's going to be weeks before I stop salivating.

[quote name='ped' post='81400' date='Oct 30 2007, 06:29 PM']It reminds me of these choccies: And just as tasty ;0) Roll on Sunday![/quote] It does look rather edible doesn't it. Saturday's going to be great, pick up the bass in the morning and then straight to rehearsal in the afternoon, give it a good work out. Sunday will be it's modelling session

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='81322' date='Oct 30 2007, 04:27 PM']it's finally nearly done!!![/quote] You're right mate! Saturday's going to be really quite a good day

[quote name='eude' post='81256' date='Oct 30 2007, 02:12 PM']Bloody Hell Mate! That's a work of art! I love the laminates in the neck especially! Eude[/quote] He certainly has an artistic eye, that's for sure. Can't wait to see it all together.

Last installment before I pick it up on Saturday. Taken by a very kind Si (OldGit) when he was up there last Saturday, many thanks Si. Lovely! Saturday can't come quick enough The body was obviously waiting for it's final buffing, it'll look amazing when it's done.

The moulded, logo'd one that came with my jazz is rubbish. The two halves don't match up which is pretty poor considering it's only 2 years old.

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='79274' date='Oct 25 2007, 10:37 AM']If you'd chewed your arms off by 14 weeks then what's left of mr tinman?[/quote] Just a couple of appendages that are suitable for typing

You seem to be under the misapprehension that I require appendages in order to play my bass, this is not so. It's all done by telekinesis.

[quote name='OldGit' post='78376' date='Oct 23 2007, 04:21 PM']Yeah "How long Has this been going on???" I'm also gently chewing at my appendages like Tinman [/quote] You realise that I am now using my nose to type, all the rest are gone

[quote name='Mike' post='78158' date='Oct 23 2007, 11:51 AM']What's the latest, Mr T?[/quote] Gonna give Jon a call tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be too long

[quote name='Phaedrus' post='74454' date='Oct 15 2007, 10:06 AM']Tinman - looks like we could nearly dep for each other at a moment's notice![/quote] Mate, I'd love to dep for you, I really fancy a trip to Dublin
