    Love the spalted beech. Hope to have my little Ibanez Mikro veneered in similar in the not too distant future.

    It is an after-market anodised pickguard and having bought one from Fender for my formerly owned jap '57 reissue, I can confirm that these are flat-edged and not bevelled, being single ply.

    Don't imagine I could play a fanned fret instrument upside down being a lefty but looks superb Andy.

    Body has had a refin but looks superb. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112323966650

    That's a mean looking fretboard. Gonna be interesting.

    The gold and black gives the bass a boutique quality and the body shape with that hollow chamber is killer. Have you tried the look of a brass nut instead of black?

    The current finish on the body reminds me of my former Warwick Thumb bass.

    Looks amazingly shiny to me. Love the hole on the headstock. Given the massive top horn carve on this, how long did it take to work out where best to put the two strap buttons?

    I think you will be wanting one that can be plugged in so it can compete and have presence in the mix. Also depends whether you're wanting to replicate an upright sound or not. Budget will also come in to play. Plenty to consider.

    Great offer dude :-) Whoever gets it will have a blast.
  11. sblueplanet
    A few pics of the actual bass being offered would be nice.

    If it was mine I would say "GLOSS VARNISH PLEASE!" Looking great and seems a super-fast build. Almost like you sneakily bought a kit and stuck it together :-)

    Never too many clamps! Look forward to seeing this progress.

    [quote name='gareth' timestamp='1488112141' post='3245879'] Covers (bluetacked) and no guard [IMG]http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r100/garethadavies/image_zpsriznktj0.jpeg[/IMG] [/quote] I'm liking this.

    And if it ain't right.... Lined fretless anyone?

    The position of the 'hidden' jack socket is just inspired. Well done. Chris Squire would have gladly played this one.

    Exciting stuff. Would a piezo work on a bass like this?
  18. sblueplanet
    Never seen one. In fact, many lefty options for brands never reach the UK. Its pretty depressing actually. I did own a Sterling By Musicman Ray34 and it was as good as an Ernie Ball but it was super heavy so I moved it on.

    That is a beautiful looking headstock.

    I want to see evidence that these basses are built from scrap!!! Only joking. Amazing skills.

    Excellent stuff. I would rather fancy a red tort pickguard replacement for mine. Im guessing there are still peeps on here offering such a service?

    Jaydee. Super duper! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132083586579

    Is the pickup size the same as other stock P pickups as in no mods needed to get them to fit? Also, what strings are people putting on their Shorty? I fancied flats for mine if I get one.
  24. sblueplanet
    Im liking the smaller size. Is it the full size tuners that are making the HB neck heavy or is the body just ply?
  25. sblueplanet
    That is interesting to see the pickguard comparison.
